#lifetime partner

Wait for the man who will pursue you for the rest of your life –

The kind of man who reminds you everyday how beautiful you are

The one who knows your worth,

And will never ever take you for granted

Wait for the man who will be your very best friend –

The kind of man who accepts all your flaws and imperfections

The one who knows your vulnerable side

And strives to protect you all the days of his…

How To Be Single (Part 1)

I find it really funny that only recently our church elders have met up with a few of our small group leaders to address the issue of the alarming growth of ‘unmarried’ men and women in our church. Somehow, they felt the need to propel these singles to mingle and build godly relationships that would potentially lead to marriages. I am not against this. In fact, I am very much supportive of this…

Nabal and Abigail  – 1 Samuel 25

Nabal and Abigail were a married couple.  As described by one preacher, it used to be an arranged marriage in their days .  Women have no right who to choose as a husband or who to marry.

How was Nabal described in the Bible?

-  He was a businessman (v2)

-  He was a very rich man (v2)  

-  He had 3,000 sheep and a thousand goats (v2)

-  He was a Calebite (v3)  (Remember the story of Joshua and Caleb?)

What about his character?

-  He was harsh and evil in his dealings (v3)

-  He was arrogant (v10)

-  He was rude (v10-11)

-  He was ungenerous (v7-11)

-  He was unkind (v10-11)

-  He was a drunkard (v36)

-  He was described by his own wife as a “worthless man”… tsk..tsk.tsk.. (What a shame it would be that your own partner is telling you that you are worthless because of your character)

- Folly or foolishness is with him (”Nabal, a worthless man, for as his name is, so is he”.  v25)

How was Abigail described in the Bible?

-  She was an intelligent woman

-  She was beautiful in appearance

-  She is full of wisdom.  She knew how to handle a difficult situation (v.18-19)

-  She was respectful.  She honors people with due respect (v23)

-  She made a way to intercede for her husband’s foolishness (v26-28)

-  Her words are full of grace and wisdom (v28-29)

-  She was a wife of noble character

-  She is full of discernment (v33)

-  She knows when to act quickly and how or what to do in a certain situation. (What do we call this character of a woman?)

-  She was a peacemaker as described in the chapter of how she talked with David.

-  A lady or woman who is patient.  A lady who knows how to wait for the right time.  She knew that her husband was drunk.  She waited for the right time to talk to him about David and what she did to make appease.   (”She did not tell Nabal anything at all until the morning light” v36)

I’m wondering if she nagged about this.  Or how did she tell her husband about what David said. (If you don’t know the story yet, you better read the whole chapter :-) ) What was her way of telling the issue to her husband?

Although her husband was a fool and probably a pain for her, Abigail was a humble woman and an intelligent wife.  She probably have spoken to Nabal about it in a way that does not yell or nag, but a way that would convict his heart or make Nabal realize his mistake.  Lord, aren’t women really born this way?  tihihi.. That we always want a guy to realize his wrong doing? :-)

WHAT IS THE LESSON FROM THEIR STORY?

About choosing a partner in life.

Do we settle for the good or for GOD’s best?

What matters most in choosing a partner?  Is it his riches or his character? Nabal was rich, yet his character was a turnoff.

Characters of a godly wife.

Don’t choose or settle for second best.  Choose GOD’s BEST!

It pays to WAIT on the LORD for His BEST!

Now, it makes me wonder about  the suffering that Abigail had to go through with the husband she had in Nabal.

The endurance… the pain she had to endure for the errors or the evil ways of her husband.  

Oh, how important it is to choose wisely a partner in life.

Not my own choosing, but GOD’s choosing.  He knows best.

Amen.

Naisipan kong mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko noong college..medyo reminiscing the past ang peg ko. Then I came across a pile of freshman books and as I scan some of it, I saw an essay I wrote about love and relationship. The essay was an assignment for our English 2 subject and our topic was about 'Facts and Opinions'. I can't help but smile as I re-read this piece. Funny how I was too melodramatic but nonetheless it was and will be my forever stand about love. Or maybe there has been some changes but I know it's still of the same thought. So enough of this long intro..hehe.here's what I wrote :))

Assignment # 2: Facts and Opinions.

                                    My Lifetime Partner

                         Some say love is the greatest thing on earth. Others state that it can build anything and can combine everything. It seems like love conquers all but then again love also fades, it withers and eventually dies. For me, love isn't enough to sustain a lasting relationship. It needs a very good foundation that will help it endures life's twist and turns. A foundation called friendship.

                         A lifetime partner for me would be someone who is more of a friend than a lover. A guy who knows me inside and out and sees the pain in my eyes even if others still believe in the smile on my face. We don't actually need to be two peas in a pod, we just need a heart that will understand each others flaws and shortcomings. This relationship is a lifetime commitment after all, so why would I settle for the second best if I know I can have the best.

                        I know time will come when I actually need to choose who to spend my life with and these are just my ideas about my lifetime partner. Since no one really can tell what the future brings, I won't sweat over these things for now. I'll just cross the bridge when I get there. ;)

(Opinion)

P.S I only used a webcam so it won't be that readable. :)) And I followed the corrections my Prof. gave. :)

Para sa akin, napakasagrado ng Kasal,

Ito ay iyong haharap ka sa Diyos, manunumpa sa kanya, na ang taong to, ay tinatanggap mo sa buhay mo upang makasama at maging isa, sagrado dahil yung tipong ang gusto mong mapakasalan ay yung taong gusto mong makasama sa buhay mo panghabang buhay, at hindi dahil nabuntis mo or what, and yeah thats the other options, pero para sa akin, magpakasal ka or pakasalan mo yung taong gusto mong kasamang tumanda, to have kids and live with  with your life, hindi yung napipilitan ka lang.

Civil marriage yeah you can divorce or annul many times, pero yung kinasal kayo sumampa kayo sa Diyos, kahit anong divorce or annulment still in eyes of God, kasal parin kayo, 

but there are other cases na things didnt work out between married people for many reasons, so yeah found there true love, di naman masama, eh di magpakasal basta ang importante mahal mo sya, nagmamahal kayo, and ofcourse! annul na ang papeles..

sabe nga pagpapakasal ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na kapag isinubo mo at napaso ka ay basta basta mo nalang iluluwa..

A long-simmering feud between the former veep’s daughters—one gay, the other against gay marriage—has exploded on social media. And poor Dick is caught in the middle.

God help me, I actually feel sorry for Dick Cheney.

No, not because of that whole…
