Our Marriage Foundation -Reflection of 10 Years Wedding Anniversary


This bible verse was the gospel reading of our wedding day.
This verse is uncommon to be chosen during the wedding mass however we chose this verse because it's so close with our life, what we have gone through before we met each other and also what we have experienced the ups and downs during our courtship days before we said yes to each other.
We, ourselves were the living testimony on how God has done great things in our life. Without Him, we were nothing and would not be able to achieve what we have now.

Therefore we decided to use this verse during our wedding mass to constantly remind us that even in marriage life when we have each other, it's still not enough. We still need to hold into the main tree, the source of our life and love so that we could love, trust and treat each other as how God loves us.




These two verses were a reading passage in our wedding mass.
We chose those verses as a guidance for us how we should build our marriage life, how we should treat each other when we lived together as husband and wife.

As a husband, he needs to love his wife and his children, gives up his life, provides for his family as what God has called him to do so.
As a wife, she needs to be the pillar of strength, prayer sanctuary for the husband so that he can be a Christ-like and serving God through the little family that they built.

Submitting to husband doesn't mean that we obey and follow our husband blindly.
It's just an attitude how we humble ourselves to obey and trust our husband to protect, provide and love us as how we do to God.
Of course to be able to obey and trust our husband, we need to constantly pray for him so he can be a Christ-like.


To build strong foundation for our marriage and family life, we hold into this beautiful verse about love.
As our marriage is like pilgrimage journey, sometimes we failed here and there to apply this unconditional love in our marriage and family life.
But again, this verse always reminds us that God's love is perfect and unconditional and we should love each other like what God does to us.

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that  I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat...
