Eventually, my 3 days off started after continuous hectic nights, I slept till late evening, unwillingly forced myself up to feed my groaning stomach and watched “Sex and the City - Get carried away” DVD. I was not into romance movies or books but what caught me was the introduction, flashing gorgeous dresses by the four main characters. I was eager to find out their style - Carries, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.

Well, the truth about this movie is more then just style. I had misjudged it as it was not as superficial as I thought. It is about love, relationships, friendships, faithfulness, courage, reconciliation, definitely more than sex.
Big quited on the day of his wedding with Carries. Before he decided to leave, he was hoping Carries could spot his car just behind her and would see him eye to eye. He needed reassurance from her that the wedding was just about two of them as what Carries told him yesterday. Unfortunately, Carries was so preoccupied with her friends buzzed around her, she didn’t notice. Big left without even try all his might to get the message across.. If not because of Carries rang him and found out the truth, Carries would be left with the awaiting guests at the banquet. Poor girl.. It was seriously humiliating.. And another common human trait - selfish. Sigh. And suddenly, after Big tore Carries heart, he wanted to plaster it back immediately. He wanted to get marry with her again. Flip and Flop. Big was unable to overcome his fear, most probably of his two failed marriage. He didn’t have strong confidence therefore he was swayed away by Miranda’s negative remark about getting marriage before the day of the wedding. He didn’t have faith in Carries as he was actually opposed some of the wedding plan.
Both of them suffered some degree of mental breakdown for months, and patched things up in the end. Big purposed by kneeling down to Carries this time. So romantic.. Not about two mature grown-up talks things over to get marry anymore. This time it seemed that Big was very sure he wants Carries. How sure he is?
The marriage is not built on the solid ground I would said. Big had married twice. I guessed Big divorce his ex-wifes because of they were unable to get over the marital conflict. And there is a very high possibility that history may repeat itself. The human love is like a pendulum, volatile and fluxional. If anytime it hits to the bottom line, selfishness (a very common human instinct for self-defense) surfaces. Relationship break-up, hurts lingered, trust breached. Another emotional turmoil. Never-ending.
Should you blame yourself? Should you blame others? No. We are all sinners. We hurt people and people hurt us. And the emotional clutters kept pilling up.
I hope Big and Carries find happiness. However, big needs to clear all his fears and clutters completely before he could love Carries completely. There is a person I want Big to know, he is Jesus. Big just needs to ask Jesus to come to his life. It just takes s small simple step of faith to believe. Once he asks and believe. He will see tremendous breakthrough. Believe in Jesus took our sins away and cleanse us. There if anyone in Christ, he is a new creation, the old had gone, the new had come.
Accepting Jesus is a gift. Once you have experience, you will never know how exhilarating to meet Him. You will know what is true love. It is not about your own effort, it is Him. He carries you on his mighty arms. The more we look upon His countenance, the more we we transform to be like him. How amazing of His Grace..
Sometimes, we feel so dry that we ask how can we give and fulfill other people needs. I am so tired. Jesus is waiting for you to renew your souls. “Put your burden on my shoulders, give me all your worry, let me carry you!”. When you find how much Jesus loves you, you automatically give, not with the intention of getting anything, but you fulfill the need of others because you know Jesus loves you and you love him. All glory to Him, not feeding your pride.
