Make Me a Channel of Thy Peace

When I was 16, I met someone from my birthday party. He was a friend with one of the guys who attended the party. I didn't pay attention to him until we chatted on the internet - and later we dated for about a month.

It was hard for me to let go because at that time, he was being a 'player' who kept re-appearing in places where I bumped into him (with different girls each time): even once I was with my mom in a public supermarket. When my mom firstly knew that we were dating - she was so mad that she didn't let me to see him anymore, however she was willing to let me choose at the end.

My mom was right! It was a betrayal experience afterall. I finally could let go of him until two years later at a prayer meeting in school at UBC. God was helping me to seek for peace and strength to open for a new page in life!

During my university years, I saw a few guys in Vancouver and HK. I had to make a decision to stay or leave Vancouver - with God's guidance, I decided to stay. As I made my choice, life is starting to test me again.

Now that after ten years, I have now found my true love: HC! We are getting married in Vancouver this August!! Sometimes, life is hard to explain, but he is the reason with all the experiences that I had to encounter before!

Since 2000, HC has been there for me - through the worst and best times!! (even more than my own family) He was the one who made me laugh sooooooo hard when I fell... he could entertain me when I felt lonely... he also would challenge me when I (or everyone else) think it's right. He would help me when I am in trouble.

HC is an extreme left-brainy and I truly appreciate for who he is (with an extreme right-brainy I am). Some of my older friends would dislike him - but I believe that you would have a second thought if you see him now after all these years living on own in Vancouver...

I also thank HC for letting me to attend the vocation's retreat last year.
I had no regrets before he made a proposal on June 26, 2007! (or else I'd be called Sister Patricia)

When I thought back, I forgave and forgot someone who was lost - but now he is found. Recently, I have sent him the best congrats from my heart for his little newborn: because life is good and we have to cherish what we have at the present. I am so glad that I could do that, right before his baby boy was born...

(God does have His plan!)

HC was once lost too, hope that I am also the reason for him to be found - now and forever (with God's help for sure)!
