God's instrument of Love


This is the sharing from my husband which somewhat blessed me this morning.

Two weeks ago, he went to Korea to oversee the inspection of his projects. We have prayed together before his departure that everything would be going well and fruitful and it would be his last business trip for this year.

This was the first time he met the German inspector and since this inspector was very senior, he's very strict and maintained his professionalism.
The first day of inspection, he almost marked the goods as "FAIL" because the appearances were not according to his expectation. My husband argued that he and his team has warned the client's team that it's impossible to do something on the goods and since the client insisted, that's the best thing they have done.

The inspector decided to check with his team and would let my husband know the next day.
He prayed very hard so it could "PASS".

The next day, the inspector told him that his team had no problem with the appearance and decided to remark the goods as "PASS"
My husband was delighted and told me that his prayer has been answered.

The second day of the inspection, everything was going well and all were "PASS"
The third day, it's a mess, because the goods have been contaminated, my husband was languid, he told me today's not a good day for him.

The fourth day of the inspection, everything was going well and he hoped that the last day would be another fruitful day.
On the opposite, the last day of inspection was a total mess and worse than all other days.

He's very tired physically and mentally and couldn't wait to go home.
When he's back, he still felt the pressure from the clients and the team.
Lacking of sleep, emotionally exhausted, he just kept quiet and I knew he's not in the good mood.
I didn't want to probe him further, I just prayed to God to provide whatever he needs.

I didn't know much about his works but one thing that I am pretty sure God knows the best and He never leave him alone.

Two days after he's back,  he served as communion minister at mass, God gave him encouragement words through the father's homily.
He said that it's not about the adversity but how we responded to this adversity that may affect and change our life.
After he came back from the mass, he seemed to find the strength back to face this challenges.

Day by day, God has directed him and what surprised me is he became a good friend of the inspector.
This inspector is a non-believer, but he feels comfortable talking with my husband even he loves to talk about his family and other works unrelated.

I told him, perhaps that what God wants him to do.
Through my husband, this inspector could see the truth and the light. It may not change the inspector's faith and belief but it brings him to know about God's love.

I feel blessed and always believe that God has put him in this job for something bigger than us.
If he can be the hand of God to touch other people's life, as his wife, I will be more than grateful to God.

Happy Valentine's Day 2023

This year's valentine is special. It's not just any celebration but it's a celebration of victory and marks the beginning of "new adventure". By God's grace and mercy, we reconciled during ME retreat last weekend. We were able to go back to where we were before the incident. I am full of love and able to share everything to hubby again. He becomes my best friend again, and it seems that love conquers all. And another challenge is now about "time". This first quarter is very busy period for me, traveling back and forth to Jakarta for business. Leaving my hubby and the kids behind is not a nice feeling eventhough there's a good thing on the other side of the coin as we are not taking each other for granted. As my gift of love, I want to give my precious time whenever I am available in Singapore to my hubby and the kids, thus in this valentine's day, I curated love coupons that he can redeem. Hopefully, this is something that can help us to comm

New Year Eve 2022

I am planning to hibernate during New Year Eve, sit down and doing some reflections and thinking about New Year resolutions, alas things may not happen according to my plan. I am very tired physically from the Malaysia trip. What I really want to do just sleep in and do nothing but what make me tired mentally is we fight over trivial matters. It started well this morning, we brought the kids out to West Coast for breakfast and strolled in the park. Hubby asked me what will be the plan for today as he wanted to give some year end speeches to the kids. I told him, I had no plan at all as I was very tired. I just wanted to stay at home and rest. He was quiet but I didn't notice it as I was quiet too to reflect what I have done this year and what will be my new year resolutions. When we went home everything was normal, I asked our helper to clean our car and did grocery for next week meals. While waiting the car wash done, I wrote this blog about our Malaysia trip. After she's done

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 w
