Grace upon Grace (Holy Land Trips 2 March 2019)

Still on jet lag mode, I woke up around 4am and couldn't sleep again.
I still didn't know the news at home because I didn't ask neither my mom messaged me anything.
I cried in silent and had conversation with Jesus, I told Him what I felt inside.
It was like a sword piercing my soul, I was helpless and powerless seeing my loved ones suffer thousand miles out there and yet I couldn't do anything. My physical and mental strength had been dried out.

In the morning, we visited Mount Tabor where Jesus was presumably going to that mountain to pray and asked 3 disciples to come along. And transfiguration happened when He encountered Moses and Elijah.

We had morning mass there and after communion we had outpouring holy spirit prayer. There, I received a grace and strength from the Lord. I felt peace and had strength to accept and embrace things that happen not according to my expectation.
There's one verse that kept ringing in my head.

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...

It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
