My business trip hasbeenan eye opener.
But I admit sometimes I feel I made 1 step forward and 2stepsbackward. I know.... its alla process and will take time. But I still do miss him every single day..haha. silly me.

Hoping that the lent season will also give me time to repent and reflect all the goodness God has given me.

Anyway, stay blessed ;)</description>

		<description>Hello Jonathan!

Glad to hear from you again.  :)  It really sounds like you&#039;re moving on and is even able to transition into this new role as his friend, even his bestman for that matter ;) 

Even though you&#039;re busy, I sense that you&#039;re able to handle everything well, life is going well with you.  I wish you more strength, more love and more blessings to add to your long list of fabulous things.

With Love,
Joyce</description>

		<description>Hi Joyce,

Its Johnathan again here. Just want to let you know that my life is progressing rather nicely. The new position that I have started in the company requires me to travel quite a lot and life has been filled with new activities and people. I am only at home 2 weeks in a month. But thats okay. I am trying to enjoy the opportunity God has given me to fully appreciate life.

I caught up with my dear friend over the weekend. It got me to think...that love is funny... No matter what I do or where ever I go,I will never forget him. I still love him haha ...always. He told me that he is now engaged and planning to get married at the end of the year. He wants me to be his best man!!! It took time for me to get this idea to sink in. But obviously, I said yes and it would be my honour. Deep down, I still feel a bit ......well, sigh...cant put it into words....But.... I love him too much to not be involved on his special day. He is and will always be my dearest friend. My prayers will always be with him and his new life.

Life is surely funny sometimes. With its all ups annd downs, I will always be grateful to Him.

I hope you too are doing well.

regards
Your cyber friend.....</description>

		<description>Dear Ivory,

I&#039;m glad to know that your husband took that first step for reconciliation.  But you may be right also that you&#039;re not yet emotionally ready to treat things like the way they were before.  Although our conscious minds can understand many things, emotions take some time to process.  This is where we need some patience with ourselves and where our loved ones must extend their understanding. 

It is good when the two of you are willing to start again to work things out, but you must both be patient along the way.  There are wounds that must be healed in time, and there are issues that need to be addressed one by one.  

Love may still be there, but it may be buried deeply by so many hurts and misunderstandings in the past.  You need not force it yet, wait for it to blossom naturally.  Respect your feelings and your need for time.  Apology is only the first step, but the actual &#039;restoration&#039; of a relationship may take much longer.  Continue to pray for God&#039;s guidance and let Him guide both your minds and your hearts.  God bless!

Yours In Prayer,
Joyce</description>

		<description>Ms.Joyce, 

With regards to my problem, after 1 week my husband took the step to reconcile with me. We talked and lay down the things we need to tackled. I decide that we undergo counseling but his not willing but i pushed him.. Now that we are on the same room again, why do i have this feeling that we don&#039;t belong to each other anymore. I&#039;m not comfortable everytime his touching me. I can&#039;t feel any kilig factor that i used to feel. Every time he says i love u, it took me a long pause and just answer him ok. His apologizing almost everyday.. Is it normal that im not yet emotionally ready to accept his apology after what happen?</description>

		<description>Dear Joyce,

Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.  Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. :)  I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. 

I just remembered you (and your blog!) which has been really a great help and i&#039;m just sooooo glad to know that you still continue to help &amp; inspire people. After that point in my life, I am a living testimony that truly indeed God will never leave you and there&#039;s always that light at the end of the tunnel.  After which you will become a much stronger and wiser person.

Gratitude to you and continue to be a blessing!</description>
