20th Anniversary!

20 years.

In the larger scheme of things, a drop in the ocean and yet in an age where divorce is common and on the rise, it is a big deal. And for someone who never wanted to get married, it is an even bigger deal! 😉

Those who know us would have heard this said many times – I didn’t want to get married, didn’t want to have children, didn’t want to be a stay-at-home-mom, and most certainly, didn’t want to be a Christian. But look at what I am today. Ahhh! Never say never!

But I am grateful. So grateful for what I have been given. Sure there was hard work in those 20 years, but knowing that it could have gone any other way, keeps me humbled and grateful. Who would have known or foreseen this path our marriage has taken? Who would have known that a chance meeting at the opening ceremony of the Singapore Indoor Stadium, 25 years ago would lead to this?

Only God.

When I met Henson 25 years ago, I was not looking for a husband and therefore I didn’t really bother whether he was husband or father material. I was dating with no long term goal in sight. Now let me tell you that that was NOT a wise move. I highly do NOT recommend it!

When he proposed on Christmas Eve, 1993, at the driving range of Orchid Country Club – not on his knees and not with a ring! – and I said “yes”, I had no idea the ride that was about to begin. The ride that would include having 7 living children and 4 with the Lord, thus far.

Has it been easy? No way! But would I do this all over again? Yes, my dear, yes!!!

How else would we have known what we do know of each other, and of the God we serve had we not walked this journey called marriage? May the Lord grant us His grace to live out His plans for us and may we be found obedient to His call on our lives!
