The Battle Between Good and Evil Within Myself


This is the story how I fight the battle within myself.

Last Friday, I have received the message from I-robot service center that my vacuum cleaner was ready for collection. I was happy because at least I can leave the house this coming weekend without worry for the dusts.
Then last night, I received another message that I needed to pay for another S$ 200 for faulty spare parts. I was shocked and angry because I just sent to the service last month for the faulty battery, and when I collected back, it gave me another problem which was the sound that it never happened before and they wanted to charge it to me.

At first, I was so emotional and wanted to vent my anger in the social media but suddenly there's a voice that told me to pray instead.

So I went to sleep and would pray this morning.
I was still upset and already made the plan for battle to fight and defend myself when I went to their place later. But the voice kept telling me to pray first before battle.

So after sending my kids and hubby, I went back home and prayed before going to the service center to render my complaint, I prayed so that the Holy Spirit guide me with wisdom and peace. I asked Padre Pio's intercession to pray for me so whatever I will speak, it's not an anger but love.
After I prayed, my human nature still overpowered me. While I was in the car, in the quietness, Holy Spirit reminded me for all the blessings that I already had and even if I needed to pay, God will provide.
I felt peace and told myself, money and things were temporary, why I should fight against another God's children for the sake of this temporary things. I will negotiate with them but if in the end, I need to pay, I will obey and I believe God will provide the money.

As I walked in the service center, I felt peace and calm.
In short, they apologized to send me a wrong message for collection, but they told me that they also sent me a message about parts that I needed to change and pay.
I told them that it's not my fault and the new problem that arise was after the servicing. I defended myself in nice way. In the end, she will check with her management because it's not her decision and get back to me as soon as possible.
But what made me smiling was I was able to control myself, forgave their mistakes, said thank you and smiled back to them before leaving.

I know the battle was not ended yet because they will get back to me again with the decision, but I have won half of the battle within myself.

Later in the afternoon, they called me and decided to replace the parts complimentary. I was exclaimed in joy. They apologized and I said thank you so much.
It's all ended well and peace. I was so grateful to God, Holy Spirit and Padre Pio in heaven.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving.

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
