How many good friends do you think you will have in this life time? Especially those whom you seldom meet yet you know are somewhere close. Perhaps them being permanent residents in your heart, so tightly bound that it triggers a tug of longing following each single heart beat. Despite my constant efforts in guarding this sacred place, there are still few who managed to sneak into this highly shielded heart of mine.
It is amazing how God brings friends into your life, especially one whom you could laugh, cry, confide or even do crazy things with. Just like what the guys would term it as “brother”/”brotherhood”. I have, too, girlfriends whom I would run to for a hiding place. One is Ivy who our path crossed during our Cedarians days and the other, Enn Mee, a comrade in Christ during my servitude in FCBC. For no apparent reasons, Enn Mee and I went into a stage of total silence with each having our own set of priorities. Poles of my self-sufficiency and pride pulled us apart, and our days of innate sharing went into a deep dive to I thought, a natural death to our friendship.
Miraculously, or I must say, God has allowed it, we both bumped into each other again last night,but this time, without the walls of ice, we started smsing each other till past mid-night. It was a warm feeling and I must say, I miss those days when we would find our solace by locking ourselves in my room, talked, laughed and prayed for each of our pressing issues. **And that included, the desired characteristics of our ideal life partner!**
The close knit between friends are just like stars, you don’t always see them but you know they are always there. I just can’t agree more. Yippee…I am back to the good-old-days!
I am blessed to have great friends who in one way or another helped continue my journey in Christ. For without them, I know I would fall. Temptations are great and in this time-pressed society, who wouldn’t want more time for personal pleasure than to spend 2 days each week either in church/church activities in addition to the supposedly Quiet Time with God. I NEED MORE TIME! Sleep, Shop, Having Fun, Read, Bake, Travel…the list goes on…
For many, the name Crystella is in itself a mystery. I have been asked and much frequently the meaning of my name and the genius behind it. To summerise, the name with a “h” (chrystella) was suggested by one of my suitors in my teenage years and the irony is that I have accepted his name proposal but never his proposal for a relationship. This could be better afterall as I have the name with me since and could never be sure if the relationship would last if we did become an item. 🙂
