My Dolly

Way too long, i was away...it felt like the silent years. Nothing at all i wanted to tell, guess was too sick to do so, inside felt like an abandon ship forbidden to board on promise island.

Days went by, my quest is like putting message into a bottle and thrown into sea...never comes back. One of my question is concerning about the few bible verses that i had read. found them so contradicting and was blaming myself lack of wisdom and convince myself through another proverb verse... trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

until a night i heard a person share her story to me.
An evening, just me and Auntie Dolly were sitting in the living room, together we were waiting for a person to return home, who is precious and important to us.

Aunt Dolly shares how she was a young person like everyone else...she told no ones, until me...She said,when she was a high school teenage, she went through path of life like most of us, seeking for understanding, seeking the ways that pleases God, yet like everyone else she met loves, choices, conflicts. And it's still consider complicated to share her's story .

During the young old days, she and a good young man had fall in love together,yet deep inside, she remembers the words... Do not be yoked together with unbelievers...so,one day out of straggles,she decided end the close relationship.

It was through a long heart felt written letter, as she couldn't express out directly to the man. Both of them sat in a corner of garden, aunt Dolly waited him to finish the letter...she said the waiting time was one of the hardest moment in life she could remembered. The man understood well what she desires, in honoring God, wished a true christian family, painfully they were trapped in space of no where. Their relationship was not either broke off or continue. The man went home sadly, without visiting her again the following week, aunt Dolly somehow out of no reason made a strange prayer request...a bunch of rose from Cameron Highland given by the man. Surprisingly he did appeared on door step with red roses...Aunt Dolly was so delighted,but she was never too sure or convince that God has answered her, thought that it was just coincident.

Days went by, aunt Dolly still felt that she could not resists the feeling and love in herself toward that good gentleman, their friendship and bond grown stronger each day. On days aunt Dolly read about a verse and felt comfort by (1 Corinthians 7:11-16). She thought that may be it was test from God, she hold a believe that God will never forsaken her. And,may be she is able to convince this man in accepting Christ and God, this was a glimpse of hope she saw.

happily they grow and marriage take place, she said when i was young...i saw unbeliever spouse become a christian and live a happy life, believers divorce, things can happen as they please, may be it's to bear God witness and example to us.
