My Honeymoon with God
Dec24-25, 2007
"Fly, fly high against the sky"

Along the way, fears surfaced. But fears were calmed by the thought that I was going with my heavenly husband, and I personally needed the time away to focus on our relationship after being so busy and consumed with my own life for the past couple months. Of course I wanted to relax and enjoy my holiday on the beach, but more than that, I wanted to fall in love with God again. Somewhere along the way, I felt choked by life itself. I knew the relationship was there, but it didn’t feel fulfilling. I remember a preacher once said that he knew the secret of the universe. He proclaimed that it was romance. And I think that my God is the most romantic God in this whole wide world, and he romances us in different ways. He knows what makes each of us smile. He knows that beaches and the ocean make me smile, really big smiles☺ ☺ ☺
I took a 2 hour boat ride from Penang and arrived in Langkawi around noon on Christmas Eve.


When I came back from island hopping, I was checking out the ticket booth counters for tomorrow's ferries back to the mainland. Out of nowhere, I heard my name. How did Razak find me, I don’t know, but he did. That night he offered to be my personal tour guide at no charge. I knew he made commission from my tour packages, but he didn’t have to take me around the whole island. That was beyond the call of duty. I know I shouldn’t trust strangers especially traveling alone and being a girl and all.

Anyhow, I had a personal tour of the island that late afternoon and early evening. He took me around to some of the most picturesque spots on the island that ended with a peaceful, local dinner. Razak had been in the business for 21 years and believe me, he got lots to say about Pulau Langkawi. As he took me around the island, I asked him of the meaning of Langkawi. He said it means eagle.
I honesty thought that Razak was an angel sent by God to make my honeymoon with God so wonderful. I had lots of time in nature--on the beach, mountains, or even in the water--to pray and draw near to God. I definitely recommend a honeymoon with God to anyone. You’ll walk away closer and being more in awe of God.
