Our First Night Together....

He...he..he...It's not what you want it to be k....It is just a title...some sort like the Indonesian song "Ada apa dengan Cinta"...It's catchy right?

Actually, it is about my journey in building a christian marriage. Been married for almost two years, to be frank, my hubby and i never prayed together before we sleep. Normally, we pray before meals and of course our mass in church. I have been wanting to do it since I married him in 2009 but, I was too shy to start it and plus, not serious in doing it. I was afraid that both of us will laugh. So, all this while, both of us will do it individually - He will recite his own prayer and I will do mine - silently.

On that Saturday nite (6th July) we were on bed quite early as both of us were not in a pink health. Eyes will know its biological clock especially it is weekend, we could not sleep that early as we were used to watch movies till late midnight. Suddenly I feel something which triggered me immediately, as if someone was talking to me in my heart, asking me to bring my husband to have the prayer before we sleep. He agreed and we held hands together and I started reciting the prayer for both of us. I was surprised as my words were very clear and within that 2 minutes I was focused at all to my prayer. No more shyness or cracking my coconut head searching for words. I really thank God for the simple start that I have with my husband. I know that the holy spirit has guided me and husband to have a meaningful christian life. I really praise God for his guide and love to both of us.

Thank you my Lord. Halleluia....
