Hi Rain

Thanks for sharing your story. It's comforting to know that someone else share a similar kind of experience with me. Will be great to get to know you better, and how are all your preparation getting on? When is your wedding day?

I guess to a certain extent, I was somewhat disappointed that most of the users avoided giving their opinions or suggestions on what I can do. We all know that Salvation is by grace, and never because of what man do. So, is asking for God's blessing such an unwarranted or undesirable request?

Sometimes it pains my heart to see Christians who so called observed certain rituals or acts which actually hurt the feelings of non christains just because they think they are more righteous. I hope no one takes offense here. We all know that Christians are not perfect as well. But for young converts or unbelievers, it often puzzles them why Christians seem to differ from the image of God. I myself accepted God into my life more than 15 years ago, and have had a somewhat persecuted life because my parents were strongly against it. But, the special bond that God and I shared is something that will never be erased, and which I hope all my family and loved ones will get to share. Looking back, it must be God's sovereignity that draw my own brother and sister respectively to a thirst for a relationship with Him now.

Now, I'm hoping that my father who has always been sceptical will turn to Him one day. Often when I ask if he's willing to walk down the aisle with me, he just gave a very bright smile. Maybe I was just plainly dreaming.

Anyway, despite all else, we will not give up trying. My husband in the meantime did not cease to say his prayer to Jesus, to help us with our wedding preparation.

Hi Blue Sky

Hmm, were u disappointed tt the sisters-in-Christ here didn't offer much advice? Here's my take why we didn't: I personally didn't know how to approach ur issue, coz it can be quite touchy yah? Esp when the preps aren't tt easy going, didn't want to add to ur worries etc..

But like what Rains had mentioned, I dun think pastors in S'pore wld agree to conducting a HM for the 2 of u. Rather they can perform the duty as the Justice of Peace & do solemnization. As for the use of church venues, it's better that you call & ask, really not sure on this.

I think ur FH is really a great man, for the very fact tt he is willing to be open to Christianity inspite of the negative examples ard. Why Christians may seem to differ fr the image of God? Let's just say the spirit is weak in this day of society, where we're really constantly bombarded with norms & temptations. All we like sheep have gone astray somehow & to different degrees, but it's more impt tt we come to the realisation we have gone on the wrong track & then seek God to right our paths.

Continue to pray for your family & ur FH to accept Jesus as their Lord & Saviour. My parents are pretty much against Christianity as well, but they have learnt to respect my faith too. Ur life will be a living testament yah? So stay strong despite the difficult times ahead

I'm sure ur dad will willingly & longingly walk down the aisle with you.. Every father wld be proud to give his little girl away

Seek He first the kingdom of God & His righteousness
And all these things shall be gathered unto You

Newest sister-in-Christ: Kat

Blue Sky, Ash, Teng care to share your details?

lilic · Jun 6, 2005

Hi Blue Sky

I guess I will play the bad guy here.. but no offence intended...

If you cherish so much the relationship you have with our daddy God, why dun you put it into action?

I really think you need to find yourself and your FH a home church to settle in... frequent business travelling is not a good excuse for not attending church... for one, bible says, "do not forsake the assembly of the saints"

my church frens travel frequently.. but they make it an effort to stay in a church... you may miss services on sunday, but there is always bible studies, cell group for you to attend...

God places set the positions in a church - Why did he place a pastor over us? i would say its to take care of us... pastors are the shephards over the church and jesus is the chief shepard. wat does a shephard do? protect and care of his sheep.. if you are not in a church, wat right do you have to expect to get under the protection and care of a pastor?

personally i do not think that there is a difference between christian and baptised christian... coz bible says, "if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth jesus is lord, you will be saved".. no mention abt you gotta be baptised before you are saved... so i regard a christian to be a child of god regardless he/she is baptised.... of coz, i agree that some churches think otherwise...

i can understand why no pastor will conduct a holy matrimony for you... HM is to consecrate your marriage to God and acknowledge Him being in the focus of the marriage... HM is sacred and not your whim and fancy..just because you like it or you want it, you can have it...

if your other half is not a christian, how is it possible for Christ to be the center of the marriage? Bible says,"Do not be unequally yoked", "wat common does the light have with the dark"..

of course, i am not referring to pple who are married and then came to know God...

i am referring to pple who belongs to God and yet decide to share their lives with someone who is not of God... From the pastors' viewpt, how are they to conduct a HM if the couple are not consecrated to God totally?

i am not saying that God cannot bless the marriage but you need to show that both of you are making that commitment to God that He is the centre of the marriage.. not you not your hubby.. GOD is the head of the household... this is a choice you made...

blueksy (and rain too).. dun blame the pastors.. they are concerned abt your choice too...its not a godly choice according to the bible... thats why they are skeptical...

i must however admit that i have seen marriages between a christian and non-believer working out well.. however, there was a common trait.. the non-believers gave their lives to God... such that both parties in the marriages confessed that while they love each other, they will not have committed the same mistake - marrying a non believer..

I have bared my heart out.. and prob not in a very nice way... i apologise for that but really... Really, i believe that if both of you get settled down in a church, all these will be much easier to deal with... the pastor in that church will guide both you and your hubby...that will help your hubby to grow spiritually as well....

instead of pouring your grievances here, get into action... dun remind wandering in the wild like the israelities.. get settled in a church...

god bless

rains · Jun 7, 2005

Hi Bluesky,

I feel that we got quite a few things in common you know? I came to know Christ about 15 years ago too!!! My parents were against it too!!! I still remember going for water baptism much against their approval and experienced jumps every time the train door opened (I took a train to church for the baptism), all the way from Tampines to Queenstown.

Like you, I was very distressed when no pastor is (still) willing to marry us in the Christian fashion. In my distress, I confided in my sister who's a young convert,"Pastors keep preaching about grace and benevolence to us, but why don't I see it in practice now?" She actually agreed. I even told my fiance that I find it difficult to reconcile with the fact that I can't go through a church wedding to marry him and a few times thereafter, I told him I would like to give up the relationship.

It was after much struggle that I came to term with the fact that pastors probably see this matter differently and they probably feel they have to answer to God if they do it my way. It's not with some struggles that I agreed that I'll do without a church wedding if no pastor would marry us.

You're certainly not the only one who's facing this problem. I know of at least two other gals who are also trying to head towards the same direction we are going in.

I sourced for the pastor for marriage counselling. I made it known to him the significance of a church wedding to me. I got him a bible - NKJ one. I heard that many pastors use that, so it must be good. I don't even spend this kinda of money on a bible for myself. And I encourage him to read it, starting from Proverbs or Matthew (but he hasn't got the time, heheh).

I'm telling you all these bcos I want you to know how active I am to expose him to Christianity. I've always felt that he deserves to go to heaven - since the first day I met him.

I know it's easy to get depressed over this, but do keep in mind, you are not alone. If you really really think a church wedding overrides the importance of your marriage at this juncture, do consider postpone the wedding first?

Excuse me gals, me too long-winded.

rains · Jun 7, 2005

Goodness! I didn't answer any of your questions at all!!! I'm still trying to get my acts together for the wedding preps. Still many things undone. Gowns not up yet. Not even the designs. And wedding in Dec!!!

Yourself?

ccteott · Jun 7, 2005

Hi Kat,

They are a design house. Dont dont do invites and if they do they are very very expensive. The only reason why they are doing my invite coz its a book not an invite card and also coz the creative director is a very close friend of mine. If not I dont think I would be able to afford his services also.

rains · Jun 7, 2005

Hi mehmeh,

Die liao ... I just realised I need to get my actual day events sorted out quickly. Could you help me on that? What time is your make up artist coming to your house and how is the event flow like? I can't make up my mind whether I want her to come at 6.30 or 7am. 6.30am is like too early for me and 7am is like too late?

Help!!!

mehmeh_lim · Jun 7, 2005

Hi Rains

I think i'm slightly worse off, my AD in Sept yah? I still haven't worked on my AD schedule..
But i think in ur case, 0630 is better. Dun rush thru the make-up, u wld be seeing many ppl tt day

Eh, better for u to check with family/relative/friends who have recently got married for their schedule.. Or maybe Cookie's Gal has one?

Harlow Cookie Gal

I need a favour fr u.. Can u share more details on Jasvy printing ur church invites? Is it possible to send me a soft-copy & the quotations etc?

I know u're bz, so send if u're available to.. No obligations k?

rains · Jun 7, 2005

Thanks mehmeh.

You're a great help.

cookies_gal · Jun 7, 2005

Hi mehmeh

Including envelopes, Jasvy charged me about $1.50 per church invite. It's post-card size when the card is folded, has a pic and is billingual. We printed 400 cards btw. Each card printer has their own set of card designs that you can choose from. Alternatively, you could design yourself and just go down to the printer's to select the size, paper and ink colour for the cards.

Jasvy was actually my hotel's recommended printer. We found their quote to be reasonable for both banquet cards and church invites so we gave them the job. They are also one of the fastest printers in the market. Took them about 1 week after confirmation of the proof to print our cards.

Hi Rains
I find it most helpful to work backwards to decide when your MUA should arrive at your place.

For eg, I need to leave my parents' home for church by about 12.30pm. And I have to go to both parents' place for tea ceremonies in the morning. Working backwards from there, taking into account all the traveling time and the starting time for all the vendors I'm working with (MUA/videographer/photographer etc), I'm getting my MUA to come at about 6.30am. BTW, I am not planning for gate-crashing in the morning.

Hope this helps!

sharky · Jun 7, 2005

Hi all, is everybody having a full day on their AD? I'm only have a church wedding at about 130pm, no gate crash, banquet or tea ceremony, so can sleep late... Also think MUA only need to come about 11am. Does anyone else here have the same schedule as me?

Hi Tintin,

Thanks for the information on caffeine creative. What do you mean by you're doing a book and not an invite card? You are not sending any invites out?

rains · Jun 7, 2005

Thanks so much! cookie's gal!

6.30am is just about the earliest I'm willing to get up for a make up. Thanks!
... er ... did your MUA start exactly at 6.30am?

cookies_gal · Jun 7, 2005

Hehe... rains,
Will let you know after next week. My wedding is not over yet.

Church rehearsal is this Thurs afternoon... gosh, I hope I don't get too emotional on the big day when my father walks me down the aisle.

rains · Jun 7, 2005

things are more or less settled on my side. waiting for big day and wondering how things will fall into place. coz i outsourced so much work. at the same time my coordinator is getting married in july too. haha. so i dun really want to tax her too much either.

gotta get back to work now. will pop by to chat again! =)

love and God bless!

tambourina · Jun 7, 2005

hi SL,

finally, i meet someone sharing the same wedding date as me.
Grace Methodist Church....do David and Cynthia Leong happen to your marriage counsellors?

BlueSky and Rains,

I read your posts here. When we don't reply, it doesn't mean we are avoiding you. Just that we really do not know how to, but I sense your cries and frustration.
When I first started going out with my fiance, he was also a non-believer. My church mates prayed very hard for us. When I was studying overseas for 2 years, I attended an international students fellowship camp. On the last night, the speaker talked about Jacob and his son Isaac. Jacob left Isaac on the altar as a sacrifice as God tested him. Are there any Isaacs in our lives that we need to hand over to God? I left my then bf and surrendered the unequally yoked relationship to God. After the camp, i spoke to bf over the phone, was ready to end the r/s.
To cut the long story short, after i surrendered the r/s to God, God brought my then bf to Himself. Bf PRC-ed!
I encourage you to keep on praying for your partner. PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens!

mehmeh_lim · Jun 7, 2005

Hi Cookie's Gal

Thanks for the info.. Seems like Jasvy shdn't be where I wld be looking at. Above my budget.. But thanks so much again!! Appreciate it esp during this bz period

U excited abt the rehearsal? Ur AD is really coming rite up...

Hi SL

Haven't heard fr u in ages.. Will tabulate ur details in & post when maybe another sister adds on her details

How's ur teakwood bed like? Normal or the 4-poster type?

Hi Rains

U're welcome.. Actually I'm of not much help huh. Discuss with ur MUA & ur parents abt the schedule & like what Cookie's Gal has mentioned, work backwards

Hi Kat

U're so fortunate to have everything to start late.. Did u intentionally not want the gate-crashing? In the video, tt wld usually be the highlight.. But the plus pt of no gate-crashing, is tt ur FH will only see u when u arrive in church, just like how many Ang Mos wld do, and the 1st sight of u wld really take his breath away..Wow!

(used to address him as Uncle David)

Hi Ivy

Thanks for sharing ur details.. Will save them!

teng2 · Jun 7, 2005

Hi all,

Sianz.. so busy recently.. not much time to pop in over the weekend.. hee.. so PLEASE PLEASE ladies, pardon my long-windedness k...

Hi SL,

Welcome back.. yup.. think quite a few of us didn't come in as often as we used to

Yo cookies gal,

Thanks for your email. Received it liao.. hehe... you must be sossooo excited haha.. must rest well to be in your best that day yah.... happens that I'm attending another friend's wedding too on the same day.. but of course not at St Andrew hehe...

Hi Kat,

Same AD as you

wow... my FH is looking forward to no gate-crashing but too bad... he won't be let off that easily cos my jie-meis are planning hard for it liao.. sad yah? But that will make him remember this impt day of ours hohoho...

Hi Rains/Bluesky,

I sort of understand what you two are going through mentally cos I know not everyone started off our lives/courtship peacefully with both as christians or with supportive families. For me, my parents divorced when I was in nursery and I followed mum while my bro followed dad.. I stayed with my grandma but I do get to see dad once in a while..

My mum converted to a christian when I reached pri 1. Just to please both parents, I attended church/sunday school in the morning and in the evening, went to a "fo2 tang2" (buddhist in-house temple) cos my dad is a staunch buddhist..but as I grew older.. I didn't know what I'm attending them for.. rushing here and there..so stopped going to both, therefore considered to have backslided in my sec/poly days.. after that, when I started working, i met my FH who knew my mum when she was a volunteer at his workplace (a christian drug rehab centre called Breakthrough Missions Ltd).. From the miraculous changes that God has done in the lives of these ex-convicts and ex-drug addicts in the home and with both my FH and mum's encouragement/prayers, I slowly returned to the Lord and has not regretted since... PRAYERS WORKS!!!

From a wayward kid who dropped out of school in primary two, involved in gangsterism/riots/pills/gambling from age 9 and who went on papers after being convicted for seriously hurting 4 policemen, to a staff worker at a christian drug rehabilitation and helping problem youths at counselling centres/ prisons, to getting accepted by people around him and finally getting married today: this will be one of the many testimonies my FH and I will be sharing during our wedding ceremony...

Sorry.. back to the topic..As some of my saturdays are often spent in a club which I joined since school days and we are often kept busy with meetings/organising activities such as home visits/fund-raising projects for childrens homes/old folks homes/disabled homes etc so during these few years, despite knowing that the activities I am engaged in is not wrong, I certainly regret/am sorry not placing God as a priority in my life and not having settled down in a church earlier which has services & accompanying activities on sats/weekday nights.... but I sincerely/definitely know it's never too late for anyone to do so..

As for sundays, when mum attends church, I had to help her at the stall and closed at about 3pm then attended service at St Andrew's cathedral in the late sunday afternoon BUT strangely, I joined my FH at his cell groups/prayer meetings/others in his home church... so conclusion is, I am not considered having settled down in a church yet... and this is already my fifth year (not baptised yet either)...sounds complicated and kinda sad yah? I'm praying for this to end soon....and all praises to the Lord, my mum has decided to close the stall in end July05 so starting Aug05, I will be settling down in my FH's church... hmm.. and that's after 5 long years...

Frankly, I really understand it also takes courage for one person/or even a couple to step into a church/raise up their hands to be acknowledged as newcomers and then making the first move to make that church their home church.. however, as what Tambourina and the others have mentioned, pray very hard for it and God will have his directions for you in his very own way. Pastors and fellow bros & sisters in christ will always be at hand to help too.

Though I admit I didn't seemed to have worked hard enough, God has made my wait worth it cos serving in the same church with my FH would certainly be something I will look forward to in the days ahead.

Hi Rains/all others,

This is the rough line of activities expected.. some given by fellow BTBs who are really detailed/efficient/helpful and some I just added on as I typed here...hehe..). Timing wise, you need to adjust according to other things which you may be adding in...hope it helps :

Morning
-Bride to change and have makeup done
-Bride's companions, banquet coordinator, photographer & videographer arrive at Bride's home;
-Groom leaves Home for Bride's Home with bouquet and angpows.
-Relatives arrive at Bride's home.
-Tea ceremony (1.5 hr)
-Caterer arrives at Bride's place and sets up
-Lunch

thanks for your kind input..

tambourina · Jun 7, 2005

Hi lilic,

i have emailed you the schedule. Mine is also all in a day.

I will not be going back to my parents. My parents are fine with this arrangement.

I just came back from meeting Rasel Food Fusion sales. Signed up with them for church reception. No reason to refuse them.

rains · Jun 8, 2005

Yes yes tambourina, I need the AD schedule badly. Do email me at [email protected] pls? Thanks!!!

Thanks too, teng, for the AD schedule you've shared. It gives me insight to the actual day itinerary.

Gals,
You're going to laugh at my ignorance. Looking at so many TBC brides. I was trying to figure out what that BS or caterer or church could be that it's sooooo popular, but I figured a caterer could not be linked up with a BS. It took me a while to realise that it means "to be confirmed".

Thanks gals, for sharing so much.

teng2 · Jun 8, 2005

Hi Tambourina/Lilic,

welcome.. perhaps it was because the Lord has shown me the miracles he has done in the lives of so many, including my husband-to-be...
Life for him transformed only after he accepted christ 7-8 years ago... if not, he might still be wandering around in the darkness/crimes...

Hi rains,
you are not the only one.. I was cracking my brains on what TBC means too when I first chanced upon the thread....

Theological Bible college, Trinity bible college and other possible combinations came into mind.. and same here, was wondering how come they do so much for wedding couples, handling florists to caterers to the venue... haha.....

skye_skye · Jun 8, 2005

Hi everyone,

been away for camp for a few days & have not checked my mail..and whoa..so much has been happening! find it hard to keep track of everything..

gonna be going to buy study room furniture soon!

i'll be moving in with my in-laws coz we didn't want to spend on getting a new flat till we've saved enough for it (so that we don't pay so much interest..and waiting for new flats in Tampines to be up also).

r all of u getting new flats or moving in with in-laws? how can i prep if i'm gonna move in with my in-laws?

Hi Ivy
my dinner baquet is also at Club Chinois! tho 1 year earlier..mine's this nov. haven't gone for food tasting yet tho...they say food tasting always better than e actual day itself tho. hmm..

to all the gals whose non-christian husbands have been changed by prayer & God's guidance, God's name be praised!

and to all who are still praying, don't give up, He will show you in His own good time

xocross · Jun 8, 2005

hi mehmeh

havent bought the bed yet. consolidating all the must-buy and budget before parting with our hard earned money. =P putting a home together is alot tougher than i imagined it to be!

hi i have read some of the earlier posts (finally!) but cant remember who wrote what... anyway... i'm going to say something that may not be very pleasing to the ears but here goes nothing...

i dunno if i can respect any pastor if he/she marries a pre-believer. as a pastor, i would have a certain expectation of him/her. leading by example is one. if he doesnt honour God's word then what credibility as a pastor does he/she have?

yes, Christ is loving, gracious and all. but let's not forget too that he is also the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He said in his word that He disciplines those He loves. your parents do that too dont they? not because they get a kick out of it but because it is necessary in bringing someone up with integrity and stature.

in the new testement, Jesus walked right into a temple and turned it upside down because the locals turned it into a market place. they were only pursuing life's little pleasure and making a living. was that wrong? Christ could have been more understanding, couldnt He? but no, God's temple is a place for prayer and should not be defiled (mark 11:15-17). and guess what? after that, the pharisees plotted to kill Him!

so i'm not surprised that with pastors' decisions will come with much opposition and discontentment. at least no one is plotting their deaths yet. phew! =P

without a doubt, God still loves pre-believers. much more than any of us here put together. but we still have to accord to Him the honour and praise He deserves as a King. marriage before the Lord is sacred. lets not take it flippantly.

having said that, i believe that God's will is for none to perish but for everyone to come to his saving knowledge. that was what Christ came for in the first place, wasnt it? maybe not now or tmrw but someday it will come to pass with much prayer and perseverance.

but now, some of us here have made that choice to go ahead with a union not approved by our Lord, there are consequences to bear. not because God doesnt love your FH, but simply because.

He is not a genie-in-a-bottle, but the King of Majesty, the Sovereign One.

=)

lilic · Jun 8, 2005

Tambourina - Thanks for the schedule. Very comprehensive =)

SL - I agreed with you and thank God for His wisdom on you.. =)

marthastewart · Jun 8, 2005

hi rains/Bluesky, Do not be discouraged that Pastors seem unwilling to marry you. It is not their job to moralise you and your FH's doings but more likely they are apprehensive that a marriage between a christian and non-christian will work out. Hearing that both of your fiances are open to God and have already said the sinner's prayer, then the next step would be to get baptised. Do not say "oh, not ready for Baptism" or "too busy to go to church" or "always travelling, cannot do Baptism classes". If the heart is willing for God, all these things will come naturally. Of course if you are lazy, that's another story. I was lazy to be baptised, and procrastinated for many years! My bf was worse, he refused to wake up early for service on Sundays and never cared much for God. Knowing that we would need to be baptised to be solemnised by a pastor, we decided to summon all our determination and go for Baptism. Anyway, we believe and receive right, so why wait? And then my fiance was besieged by a host of health problems and he actually wanted to back out of Baptism. Through a lot of counselling and encouragement, he decided not to back out, and realised how sovereign He is, that when he decided to put his trust and cares on Him, everything turned out ok. We are going through marriage prep now and it is AMAZING! EVERYONE should do marriage prep. It brings 2 people closer and really helps to open up our hearts to Him and each other. We discovered a lot about each other and know what we have to work on, instead of waiting till after the wedding and getting a shock rite?

So i encourage you gals to come back to Him, talk to Him and tell Him your worries and your problems. You can attend a church near your home and go every sunday and then do Baptism and Marriage Prep. You are welcome to attend my church in the East, the environment is friendly, nice, and unassuming. Charis Methodist Church - Koon Seng Road.

Like to share this song by Steve Green with you...

Holding Hands

One day, far away, you gently won my heart
And one night, by candlelight, we made a vow to never part
Then then it seemed just like a dream
When wide-eyed, side by side
We face the future holding hands

Years fly, they hurry by, the simple times are gone
Bills due, a kid or two, a week can feel eight days long
By fading lights, let's kiss goodnight
And then we trace God's daily grace
Thankful we're still holding hands

There's a hope that won't let go
There's a truth we know
God is holding us
In His arms

Thoughts stray far away to that lies ahead
In frail days when strength fades
Will we still mean what we said?
Our love's secure, so rest assured
Come what may 'til that day
We'll walk forever holding hands

By God's grace 'til that day
We'll walk forever holding hands

nya · Jun 8, 2005

hi gals!

felt really encouraged by all the sharing and testimonies...it's really impt to commit everything to God, including our wedding plans! =)

just to share, my FH and i started hse hunting, planning for the wedding, reno, etc since last nov, and i'm glad that there were no major hickups! there are of course some little problems along the way, but well, nothing is impossible with God! =) i believe that God is constantly at work in our plannings, if not it won't be so smooth sailing for both of us.

for BTB who are worried over your wedding prep, don't be anxious yar! 'in everything, with prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God'. worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop, so do PRAY PRAY PRAY! =)

nya · Jun 8, 2005

i have a constant thought, i hope that what i am asking will not be too sensitive, but i am wondering how much do we need to give to our jiemeis/helpers/etc for angbows? like is there a 'market rate' for it? coz pple say it's the thought that counts, but i also do not want to face an issue where some pple will complain that we are giving too little...so is there a minimum? and are there different categories, like closer helpers give more and vice versa? *dilemma*

Hi all

I'm so moved by all the rest of the writings that poured in. Believe it or not, I was tearing as I was reading the different posts. Thank you to all of you. Here is my big hug.

Meh meh
Initially, I did feel disapointed but now, that's history. I'm actually beginning to feel like we're part of an extended family now. It's a warm feeling... thanks for all your encouragement.

Regarding on updates of my wedding, well, most of the stuff has not been comfirmed and materialised because I felt that HM seems to be of utmost importance, and if that's settled, the rest will probably follow. I did make some trips to BS to check out some gowns and prices. Think both my husband and I want to make it a simple affair among our family and close friends. We would love to have an outdoor wedding and did go to check out some venues. The only thing that's confirmed is our lovenest in Kim Tian.

lilic
I don't think you're being the bad gal, no worries. Instead, thank you for speaking your mind... Eccl 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the songs of the fools.

I have been searching for a church to go to, but I admit I have not been disciplined enough. A bit of my history here. I used to attend Calvary Charismatic Centre. I'm not sure what it's called now, but it used to be one of the bigger churches in Singapore. I was engaged in several of the ministries in church and most of my week was spent in cell group, prayer meetings, youth ministry or nursery, and two services on sunday. I was also training to be a cell group leader. However, I guess I became overburnt after a while. I was also hurt by some realtionship problems, and was beginning to lose focus. Actually, I guess it'll be too long for me to elaborate and go on. I was even beginning to feel that several Christians were presured into practicising certain forms of worship or behaviour just so that they will appear to be in the realm. Frankly, who am I to judge, but I was beginning to feel uncomfortable with several things. So, I just slip away.

I do miss church and fellowship on several occasions. But, I must admit God never give up on me. The ironic thing is my brother became a catholic, and now my bro in law and my dear sis are very keen too. My sister has always been very close to me for all my life, and I have always wanted her to know Jesus. I've asked her over the years to go to church with me, and she was often reluctant. But, guess I was most shocked when now, she asked if I'd like to go with her. Isn't that amazing?

Rain
I was reading your post, and tears were running down my face at the same time. I'm sure God meant for us to comfort one another. I believe God has a destiny for us all, and I am sure your faith will touched your FH heart. I've learnt over the years not to look to men but to constantly focus our eyes on Jesus, our very first love. It's not always easy, and I myself struggle with that too.

I used to have a best friend who confided in me that she was severly persecuted by Christians and leaders in the church when she had a non christian boyfriend. I thought they shouldn't have done that because it really pushes her to her wits' end. She even thought of ending her own life. An advise could have been dished out in a more loving manner. Well, I comforted her by saying that life would have been easier if her the other half is a christian, and if not, she would have to suffer a lot more... Now, I'm wondering if I'm prophesying my own future... haha.

Thanks for sharing so much of your experience with me. I'm encouraging him to read the daily bread now. I went to the online version but do you know where I can get hold of copies of that?

We're also considering postphoning our wedding to a later date, even though we'd wish for it be on our ROM day in december.

Teng
Thanks for your testimony and all your encouragement. I do feel like we are all closer to one another. Actually, I do think this thread will be God's way of touching the lives of many, christians or non christians. I myself will be the first to acknowledge that... thank you to all of you. Despite being caught up with all the activities of wedding preparation, isn't it absoultely wonderful to know that we're touching each others' lives as well.

Lastly, will all of you please keep me and my husband in your prayers. Also, can all of you share which church you are attending now.

lilic · Jun 8, 2005

bluesky - calvary is called victory christian centre now.. i think.. my FH used to be from there.. i agreed with you... some churches make life in church "unbearable" and "un-Jesus".. alot of time, it became "man-made" if you understand wat I mean...

for a while in my life, i slipped away too.. partly because of the church i went to and partly because of my ex-BF... however, god brought me back soon enough... at that time i was a young christian and did not know much abt God... and went into a relationship that hurt so much that till this day, i regret it... i am my parents only daughter and they had high hopes on me... in uni, i was on course for a first class honours.. but the relationship broke the path... some of you may think that this is no big deal... but i was hurt terribly when i see the disappointment in my parents' eyes when i broke the news to them... there were also other disappointments which i dished out to them that broke their heart...

it came a time where i decided to seek God again and this time round i heard him for the first time... He told me to cut it off... I wasnt in a church then and could only turn to bible like a child in a maze... and the verse i flipped to was abt "unequally yoked"... i loved the guy and we thought we will be married one day... i bargained with God, told Him that the guy will come to know Him in future.. but He said, He does not need me to do missionary dating... after a while and talking to some friends (who have been against me dating the guy), i relent... i commit my life and deeds to His hands the first time... and since then, i have not looked back...

My life is complete now... my entire family is saved... believe it or not, that blessing is also on my extended family.. my aunty and uncles, my cousins and their children... and most importantly, my FH is a god sent... and because He loves God and consecrates his life for Him, our relationship only gets better... we knew each other for 4 years, in the relationship for 6 years... He had shown wat the bible teaches... "Husbands, love your wives as Christ has loved the church".... I am not boasting here... but a marriage of God is heaven on earth!

but for those who are still struggling, pray and make the decision to commit your life to Him and see who He arrested the situation...

i have nothing against non-believers and i believe that some of them are nicer than christians... but God has His words planted in the bible for us to follow... lets follow it...

bluesky - stake your courage and dun hesitate anymore. I am from Faith Family Church. Its a small church and we conduct the services in Grand Plaza Park Royal Hotel (behind Penisular Plaza)... Sunday service at 1030am and Wednesday bible class at 730pm.

God bless!

rains · Jun 8, 2005

Tambourina,

I haven't received the AD schedule from you leh ... Do email me when you're free ok? Thanks.

Bluesky,

I'm sorry I rarely read Daily Bread. They are often given by friends so I wouldn't know where they got it from. I had the experience of reading Daily Bread on the train when I was in my teens. Suddenly, the 30 something woman sitting next to me asked,"Why don't you read the Bible?" I just happened to be reading the Daily Bread, that's all!

Heard from a colleague that Calvary Charismatic Centre is now called Victory Family Church, somewhere located in CCK area. It was an affiliated church to my previous church (Ekklesia) - I'm sure you know which church I'm talking about? I'm currently attending Woodlands Evangelical Free Church near my place. I'm quite comfortable with the way they praise and worship.

Actually, my fiance surprises me. He had just said the sinner's prayer not too long ago but he's starting to speak like a Christian. I'm a terrible worrier and he told me I "should commit things into His hands" (his exact words). And he started to say something about faith. In the beginning when he went to church with me, I was full of worries that he's going to be a Christian for my sake. Now I'm starting to be assured that he does takes an interest in what Christianity is about. It's such a simple message but I feel like a spiritual baby when I hear it again.

xocross · Jun 8, 2005

oh dear! i wrote such a long testimony but it went *poof*!

sob! =(((((

maybe it's not meant to be. argh...

girls, i'm so touched to read all the above. can i say it one more time? i'm glad to be back!

i dated a pre-believer before too but my experience wasnt all that great. hahaha... he was one big scumbag who thinks it is ok for men to sleep around if their wives cannot perform in bed anymore. *ptuh*! wonder what i saw in him!?!?!

anyway, point is, we all have our stories to tell. =) and sometimes some christians make our lives even tougher. haha... however, lets focus on God our Father and continue to support each other so that we may complete the race well! =)

btw, i attend FCBC. i love my girls very much. of all the cells i have attended, this bunch of girls are the most patient, non-judgemental and critical and happening girls i have ever met and had. and they are all older than i am! hhaha. but really, no one can tell. they are so young and youthful! i dunno if i'll be changing church since my FH is from another one. every time i think about it, it bothers me. but we have agreed to think about this seriously after the wedding. i dont want to lose my support system and i dunno whether i can find another group of girls that lovely (dunno if you know what i mean). oh well. we will see how things go. =)

love!

tambourina · Jun 8, 2005

hi rains,

Hi Tambourina

tambourina · Jun 8, 2005

Girls who are getting married end of this year, I suggest u better get ur PG & VGs soon. Lotsa ppl get married during EOY, so ur 1st choice for PG &/or VGs may be snapped up. And once taken, like a banquet venue, u wld have to go for the 2nd best? This is only IMHO k?

Hi Tambourina

Thanks so much.. Will go search for it!

wyy · Jun 8, 2005

hmmm...

after reading the above I can sense a strong bond btw each other. I am happy that all are so frank and loving just like having fellowship though we are not seeing each other.

Thank you for being so loving and I've got so much to learn.

Thank you all.

wyy · Jun 8, 2005
