The life of a single in a relationship

This week I attended two weddings, one in General Santos City and, the other of a cousin in Metro Manila. Honestly, I love weddings. Like many, I am thrilled to witness the bride march down the aisle and to hear the couple exchange vows. I know there is no perfect wedding but generally I enjoy the joyful mood attending one. No wonder Jesus too attended a wedding, He is the Author of marriage of man and woman-- and it was indeed good. God is truly gracious to bring two people together, to be united as one; depicting Christ's love for the Church, His Bride.

Now why the title? I am not confused. Yes, I am in a relationship but technically I am single also. When the time comes, God-willing, I will rejoice in the Lord; but, while it's not, I still thank the Lord because each day in a life of a single in a relationship is His appointed day. He is in control and He does not make mistakes nor forgets appointments, like many people do.

The life of a single in a relationship isn't easy. Let me share to you some of the reasons why.

1. Being asked a thousand times, kailan?

2. Praying and waiting for God's will

3. Being asked a thousand times, kailan?

4. Praying and waiting for God's will

5. Enjoying the journey but dealing with points #1 to 4

To my friends, you can still ask but I hope you also help us with points #2 and #4. To stay single or to be married is His, only God knows...

Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa Facebook

Last Sunday I watched QTV's Ang Pinaka and couldn't help but laugh and agree with some or most of the reasons why people are 'pasaway' in FB.
