Can Two Walk Together?

The encouragement for spiritually unbalanced marriages book is by Sabrina D. Black (Author). She wrote based on her own experience and her counseling expertise.

This is helpful tool for those who face disappointments and difficulties in unequally yoked relationships. It is also good for anyone who is keen in knowing more about it just like me. I borrowed this book from my church library by chance but since then I made the efforts to read because I believed there should be a purpose of everything.

It is easy reading book and I agree with her points which I summarized them as followed:
1. Ministry starts from home. We need to put some efforts, time and etc for our home (with our loved ones). Nobody can fix our home except ourselves with God’s wisdom. I am learning to be more patient and understanding to people surrounding me :)

2. Think wisely before we share to others on personal issue related to our partner (loved one) otherwise we may regret. Because when we’ve forgiven & forgotten the issue (our loved one’s badly treatment to us), others may still remember everything we share to them hence it will affect on how others think of our partner (loved one). So before you share to others, we should talk to God. I remember this phase "You are not fit to talk to anyone before you talk to God". Occasionally I am trying to practice this to people I love. Actually we get to love everyone as God first loves us :)

There are more points you can learn from the book. Interested to know more? Just read the book.

You are my hiding place

You (God) are my hiding place,
You always fill my heart with songs of deliverance.
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
I will trust in You.Let the weak say I am strong in the strength of my Lord.
I will trust in You! (3x)


The lovely song above was sung last night (new year eve). During our watchnight church service, we were called to reflect things happened in the past and to face the coming year. I started counting the big good events which happened in my life, yap! there were at least 10 but how about the bad events? There were not least... However during the bad events... I was not alone because God was there for me.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, God is always with us.
Happy New Year 2009! Happy blessed year!

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah [Psalm 32:7]
