Back in Each Other's Arms

After waiting enthusiastically for almost two hours and queuing up patiently at the airport’s Arrival Station, finally, a familiar figure who swept me off my feet 11 years ago came out in the open. Oh, a feeling of relief and inner peace overwhelmed me! My dearest Sim was right before my very eyes, he’s back… praise God for His overflowing grace. The eight months separation was as if an unwanted dream… and for now thinking about it makes me wince, I’m hoping and praying that it will not pass our way again. An echoing truth kept ringing in my heart, “it’s not God’s design that a husband and wife live apart from each other”. The Bible encourages us to mimic the married life of God’s people whom he had used mightily in the different eras of history. I can say that I am now a “renewed” wife. Renewed in the sense that I have a clearer direction in the way I partner with my husband Sim. And I believe that the balancing act comes from the Lord who stays in the middle of our marriage. To God be the glory!
