just a quick post on how good the Lord has been to me and this journey that i am walking with K. God has provided for so many things every step of the way that makes me feel faithless for even worrying. it's amazing.
above all the many things that He has blessed us with, i just wanna write this post to remember how God answered my prayers for yesterday, the photo-shoot day.
as you know, it has been raining quite madly the past few weeks. and i was pretty afraid that it might rain yesterday. and then, this bridal studio... i've heard quite bad comments made against them on those online forums after K and i signed up with them, one of which was that their photographer (they only have one photographer), was pretty rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. when K and i went for our fitting, the photographer did appear rather snappy and moody. and also, as you know... my face hasn't been the smoothest yet. with pimples and acne breaking out and staying on my face for days, it's kinda hard for make-up to cover up the bumps. this studio is also rather cheena-fied (think they're HQ is in taiwan and their designs are rather conservative), so i was afraid that gowns and photos won't look nice. then there's the make-up artist. am so skeptical of her skills when i went for my trial make-up... she was shocked to see my 'popping' ears and my face started to react to either the make-up she used or the make-up remover she lent me.
so i was praying that everything will turn out just fine. that K and i would still enjoy the photo shoot.
and praise be to God, we did.
when we reached the studio yesterday, the weatherman has been forcasting rain in the next 3 hours every hour. but there was no rain... AT ALL... for the entire day! and we were also praying for the weather to not be so scourching hot.. and it wasn't... the light was just nice... comfortable...
the photographer was in a very good mood yesterday and he was very patient with our stiffness... not to mention that he was also very funny and encouraging.
the make-up artist was good... =) like the way she did my hair and for the accesories she used in my hair. she's nice too... very friendly.
and my face... only the pimple scars are left... the bumps have all subsided. and, my face didn't react to the make-up she used.
praise God!! and even doing my manicure... i didn't realise that you have to make appointments to do a manicure. i had to put on temporary tips too coz my fingernails were too short. and anyway, that place that i went to with YL, it was so expensive. then after walking around, we found another place and they could do it for me at nearly half the price.
totally blown over... awed... and amazed.
God is really so good... i feel so blessed seeing how He moved all the mountains out of the way... that when things seem out of control that He is still in control...
i think God is teaching me something here... more than teaching me to trust Him, but showing me that He IS in control of situations that're not in ours... and also that whatever matters to me, matters to Him too...
and now, i can only say one thing...
thank You Lord, for Your amazing and abundant love...
