Today is my 37th Birthday and this birthday is really special.
I was born as new person with new spirit, new purpose in life and new me.
Yesterday night, our nearest church had sacrament of reconciliation and we as family went there and humbly asked God to forgive and grant us a grace and holy spirit so that we could start as new us striving for Holiness.
This morning, I woke up early around 5.30am and decided to have quiet time with God while everyone was still asleep. I prayed Rosary and asked for the spirit of humility and wisdom as well as guidance for today's big decision which is selecting unit for our 3rd house.
After I finished praying, I quickly went to church for morning mass to receive the Eucharist to strengthen and empower me.
Going home, my husband was asking if I already had an inspiration or answer for the unit that we were going to select.
I just kept silent and only told him, if it's meant for us, God will reserve it.
After sending the kids to school, we went to HDB Hub as our appointment was 9.55am.
We reached there around 9.30am since we had time, we had a look at the master plan map again.
The unit that I like was still available at that point of time and the other preferred units by my hubby were already taken out.
At 9.55am, we stepped to the room meeting with officer, after finishing off paper work, we were asked which unit we would like to choose and ta - da the unit that I like was still available it's #14-607, the highest floor in the complex.
We still can't believe it.
For me, the lesson learned is
1. When I decide to submit completely to my husband and God even though the result may not be according to what I want, God listens and provides for the best
2. His plan has started 4 years ago and still continue to be unfolded presently and the future, if I was not pregnant with my third child, we may not be able to get this house under Married with 3 child and above scheme.
3. The price for this unit is beyond our human ability. At first, our objective to get this second BTO is to pay off the debt in a short period of time but with this unit's price tag, it seems not easy in human eyes however, the good news is with this obstacles, it encourages us to depend more on God and not rely on our own strengths.
For my husband, the lesson learned is
1. His plan may not be God's plan. He wants to settle for the units that the price is within his ability and objective to pay off the mortgage loans so that he could slow down and not working too hard in his life, but with this price tag that we get right now, we don't know whether his objective will be able to achieved
2. God shows him that he's worthy to receive the best from God. He has this weaknesses of unworthiness to receive blessings from God and God proves it wrong
We decide to sanctify and offer this house back to God as the place where He will live and stay with us and whoever comes to our house will feel peace, joy and transformation in their life.
We call our new house is "HOUSE OF TRANSFIGURATION".
