Hello there my frineds.
I hope that you're well.
The year is going fast. Four years ago, I was in Timaru, Andrei was out seeing the sights of Germany, and Europe.
I was just talking to my bakery friend, this morning laughing at the memories we made.
My best friend Mel and I were single, I had joined a dating website, the Christian connection one, only a profile member.
I wasn't as daring as Mel, I was playing it safe.
I had moved to Timaru to do my bakery training, and we divided and conquered that.
Oh the laughs we had in class.
The phone calls from my Nan, those lovely talks on the phone, the tears I'd cry when I was tad homesick, as it was my 1st year moving away.
She would ring just at the right times.
What lovely memories to look back on.
Now a new chapter has begun, in a wonderful city like Wellington.
Married to an awesome Man of the lord.
Who understands me so well, I did raise with him one fear, and that is barrenness, and arugments.
I needed to feel secure, and happy, and now I do, I love my home, Dunedin by the water will always be home for me. but with Andrei by my side I can face anything.
He promised my parents early on in the peace he will look after me, that he indeed wasn't a man to just hastely, wanted to get married, he really wanted a wife, and sought the lord on everything.
I loved hearing it, that indeed I can trust Andrei.
He was calm and very gentle, and kind and sweet.
Where as home life was different.
The lord changed my heart and I could trust again.
I wanted to love Andrei from the day I saw him from the first meeting, and the emails while engaged the phone calls.
The tears of sadness the happy tears, the mess.
To me, God had given me the perfect man for me.
I told him last night I had fear of arugments, I didn't want loud matches, as my family back home had lots to deal with, so I wanted to change it.
Andrei said sometimes you need them to grow, that to picture a train, above the tracks and the person your having a different opinion is, on the other track.
and your heading the same way to the same destination.
It made the fear go away once I heard that.
No one likes to argue, but sometimes you need to say your piece.
Now I'm not perfect, Andrie isn't perfect, we don't always have a perfect marriage.
But it takes work.
Thankfullness and greatfulness goes along way, instead of seeing the negative side.
The worst thing we can do to our mens and friends are to complain.
I'll give you an example or rather a story.
Andrei wanted a gun, we had been out for coffee before church, as we do every sunday.
and he wanted a gun a BB gun and join a club.
Now I've said yes to most things, from computer pieces, and technology, nd I love andrei .
but I didn't like the thought of Andrei having a gun.
I said he can have gun if he joined a gun club but no for having it if he's just going to not join.
So that was that, I didn't like a gun here in wellington, with what happend in Christchurch.
If on a farm yes, for rabbits, for shooting food,but not in the city.
I was firm on this idea.
Andrei has gone off it.
I believe the reason for breakdown in relationships or our relatiinships with Christ is we don't spend enough time with each other.
we see all the planks in other peoples eyes, but we don't often see that we might be the cause of it.
Or pride.
Pride can harm people.
Now there's nothing wrong taking pride in our work, or in God's work.
But there is a problem if we let it grow in ourselves.
I had a big issue with this, being a part business owner, of a gym, in fact I would use it in my Bio of my dating online.
Aweful i know, and man did I have to be pegged down a bit.
God told me it's his gym, the people who go there are the people that he wants there, and all of it was based on prayer and hard work.
Now did I did a retake, and for year I asked the lord to take away my issue.
It was blocking me, from seeking the lord, and did he do the work that needs to be done.
I opened up to the lord, I grew fast in the lord, and he gave me the desires of my heart.
I was able to get a new tear fund girl. and Andrei came along.
Well I will write more next time.
Andrei's finished work for the morning for lunch.
Chloe
