This is the last part of our Anniversary celebration, it was quite unexpected though from the original plan.
My original plan was to have simple celebration with Family Builder B with tumpeng (yellow rice) and wanted to give them a surprise.
But instead of I gave them surprise, they surprised us with a prank :P
When everything was done according to the plan, last minutes we received the messages from different persons, one of them said that she would be late because of last minute teaching schedule, another whole family canceled their visit due to the wife's severe backache, another family said they would be very late due to something else, I was like Whattt ??
It couldn't be any better time than this....
I was so panicked, because I have ordered lots of food and we absolutely couldn't finish them off.
I quickly messaged another group to come after their cell meeting done.
As I was trying to calm down, taking positively what just happened and starting to enjoy the "abundance", the whole gang came down with the song, "flower" cupcake bouquet and I was like
?!@?!?@!! (speechless)
It was the first prank that worked for me hahahaha.....
Despite what they had made me heart attack for awhile, I and my hubby were very grateful to be part of this Family Builder Community. Without them, we wouldn't be able to grow in faith as what we are now.
For us, having a community is really important. How strong we think our faith is, or how deeply our love is, we could not walk alone. Life is so unpredictable, sometimes there are unexpected turbulences or storms that we could not face them alone. We need some people to help us when we are down, pray for us when we are lost, laugh with us when we are in a joy.
What I can put the analogy between marriage and community is like pilot - copilot and air controller team.
Marriage life is like an airplane with pilot and copilot, both of them are taking charge of their airplane with many souls are in their hand. When the weather is favourable, they can control the airplane and fly the journey smoothly but when suddenly the weather is not in their favour, they need help from air controller team.
When there's unexpected turbulence, they may not be able to see which way is safer, rising up, lowering down, going right or left but the air controller may be able to advise them based on the overall view that they have. Although in the end, the decision is still hold by the pilot and co-pilot but they can make better judgement if there are more informations and directions from others.
And these applicable to most pilots and copilots how smart they are or how long their experiences are.
It's same thing with marriage life. Sometimes we thought that we already have strong faith or love each other very deeply, inseparable and seem that we don't need anybody to interfere marriage life and we can walk the journey alone with our partner.
Yes, when everything is going smoothly, no doubt we can walk that journey alone but unfortunately that's not gonna happen.
Life is full of surprise, unpredictable sometimes unexpected turbulence come messing up our plan.
We need to have other people with the same vision in the community to help us back to go on the right direction.
Therefore, our family can't walk alone without the community.
Our community is called Family Builder. We are in the same stage of life with young kids.
Our vision is passing the legacy to our next generations that true marriage is still exists and we also nurture our children to be Godly children who fear and love God.
Our background, family goals and parenting styles may be different but instead of focusing in differences, we accept, learn from each other and grow together in faith.
We are grateful to have this community and be part of it who grow together with us and our children.
