Just thought of capturing those stories in my this long-forgotten and forsaken sanctuary of mine...

Story of the Hedgehogs in the Winter...

Picture taken from http://watch.thehaymakerssurvey.com/...ove-hedgehogs/
As the weather is cold, the hedgehogs will stay close together for warmth. However, when they got too close to one another, they got pricked by the spines on their bodies and so they moved further apart.
When they are further apart, they cannot use the body heat to keep each other warmth.
The trick is to find the balancing point where the hedgehogs can find the warmth and yet not get prick by the spines on their bodies.
Using the same analogy, you just need to find the balancing point for everything in life including managing your bf.
Why not, try to give him the free time and you find time for your friends also. In this way, your friends won't feel neglected and you give your bf the space he wanted. Remember, friends play an important part in our life, learn to value them.

The Marriage Vows
Got this from Rovis's Facebook Note which I find really meaningful. So thought of sharing it.
Saw this marriage vow somewhere. I thought it would serve as a GREAT REMINDER for me and those who "happen" to see this note. God bless
To have (consider part of me, see as mine, take responsibility for as myself) and to hold (hug, caress, treat tenderly, protect, enfold) from this day forward (I am entering a new part of life that begins today)
For better (good times, make-up times, new days, wonderful discoveries), for worse (disappointments, misunderstandings, arguments, difficulties, unforeseen challenges);
For richer (not only material wealth but richer experiences in life that we seek to share together, growing into an abundance of God’s presence in our marriage), for poorer (times when we have to depend on the Lord for provision, times when we have to adjust expectations);
In sickness (times of sickness, fatigue, and the stresses of life, when patience is required) and in health (we take care of each other and encourage healthy living);
To love (long for you in every way, serve you, practice growing into oneness with you) and to cherish (to offer tender touch, patient care, seeking to understand and meet needs)
Until we are parted by death (we recognize that these promises aren’t for heaven but for here, as we help each other to know the Lord and anticipate eternal life in his presence);
As God is my witness (I acknowledge that God is listening to me and expects me to take these vows as seriously as anything I have ever said), I give you my promise (I want these words to be the most precious things I could ever give you, and I will live them out for you every day).
