Family is The Greatest Blessings




Today is beautiful day and I am so grateful, feeling peace and joy after entering His holiness.
My soul was brought back to Mt Hermon where we rode the chair lift to go up to summit.
It's a white pitch dark and we couldn't see anything only the next chair lift in front of us.
When we arrived there it's foggy and we couldn't see anything too, only persons next to us or perhaps few meters in radius from us.

I was freezing cold and my fingers started to turn into blue back, when I told my husband he quickly brought me to go inside and there's a small cafe and heater that I could warm myself up and he bought me a hot chocolate and chocolate croissant.



Then, God reminded me how much God loves me by sending my husband to my life.
He's the picture of God as masculine figure. My husband may not be a perfect husband but the way he treats me and the family is a glimpse of God's love to us.
He's a provider, protector, rule setter, and whom we as family can lean on.


God then brought me back to see my children. How beautiful they are and as I usually joke that we have holy trinity at home already.
He really shows me how blessed we are to have holy trinity at home.
My oldest son is like "Father", he's the one who protect and provide for his brothers whenever my husband is away on business trip
My second son is like "Son", he's obedience and love to serve his brothers
My youngest son is like "Holy Spirit", he's a comforter, always bring joy to us





When I contemplate that, I could say like what Mother Mary said

"My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid ; for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He who is mighty has done great things for me and Holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.
He has shown might with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart."

I told God what's been troubling me recently. Tomorrow is the day we will choose the unit for new house.
This new house is a blessing from God and we want to offer this house back to God so that it can be used as house of prayer.
We have sorted our preference units and we still haven't decided yet which unit we should take.
Then, God told me to let my husband choose.
He's been given the authority to provide and protect the family and this house as a symbol of that.
I was asked to pray the wisdom for him so that he could listen and obey God's answer through him.

I trust in God, I believe in Him and believe in my husband too whatever we will choose the unity tomorrow, it's from God. We will sanctify this new house and make our house as house of prayer.

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...
