I've been wondering why God gives me challenges and trials a lot more than I want. However the positive side is that we can only find an opportunity to grow up in trials/challenges. Also God even uses challenges, even hard time for good.
I didn't like the fact that Robert's work schedule is different from normal people. He has to work 16:00 to 24:00 (Wed through Sun). What a crazy shift!? Sometimes he stays there late like 1am/2am.. and he even had time to stay there until 4 in the morning. I have had hart time adjusting in this country (and hey it's not just America, Midwest! lol), and not even allowed to have normal social life with friends?? So how could we even make close friends?? How lonely should have I been?
God does wants me to depend on him first. Jesus wants me to be the best friend with Him before making close friendship with others. It took a while to understand it. (well I know this logically, but my heart is not letting me to happen it.)
Also before making girlfriends who hang out a lot, talk and be close, God wants me to have intimate times with my husband. The reason why I am here is because of my husband. If I had 10 awesome close friends, but did have a terrible marriage relationship with my husband, it'd NOT mean anything!!
Slowly I came to understand that God wants me to take advantage of this time to learn a lot about my husband.. spend time with him. And also have more opportunity to explore this area. I know that when our marriage/feel/decision get solid, God will give us the next thing... friends, and possibly new better place to live. hehe
So anyway, we went to Zona Rosa to have brunch today. Having breakfast/brunch/lunch date in weekday is great. We don't have to put our name on the waiting list on Saturday morning to eat eggs! Yes, take advantage of what we have, instead of what we don't have!
It's our new favorite place to eat. :)) Mimi's cafe
今日はロバート君とブランチデートに行ってきました。空港の近くにあるZana RosaというOpenモール街でブランチを食べてショッピングしてきましたよ~。(・∀・)ノ
ロバート君のスケジュールは普通の人と違うし、土日にカップル友達と出かけるとか難しいし、参加したいイベントにもなかなか二人で参加できない。。ただでさえこの地に慣れるのが大変なのにSocialライフまで与えられないなんて、神様ひどいよ~って思っていたけど、そうじゃなかったんですねぇ。こんな新しい環境で困ることが多いからこそ、神様に頼るべきであって、それと同時に親しい友人を作る前にしっかりと夫婦関係の基盤を作りなさいと言う事を示したくてこういう状況に置かれているのかなぁって思うようになりました。
待たずに平日おいしいブランチ食べて、ショッピングに夫といけるなんて滅多にないでしょっ。こういう時間を大切にしていきたいと思います~。
そして、神様を信頼し、夫婦の基盤も出来てくる頃にまた良い事を神様は用意してくださっていると信じて従っていこうと思います!
下は今日食べたブランチ。おいしー。
そして、ゲイのサーバーが<<( ´∀`)<超感じよくて可愛い男の子だった>>始めてのお客さんだからってでっかいマフィンを二つもお土産にくれましたー。あぁ、元同僚のNちゃんにあげたら喜ぶだろうなぁ。
Love it! I am so glad to hear things are in a way, coming into place. I get the feeling you have really started to adjust to the new life you are building together. Been praying for you both. Love you both. And some day we have to stop saying we will get together and actually DO it lol.
