Fiat Voluntas Tua


I saw one of articles from internet about Lord's Prayer.
For the whole of my life, I recite this Father Prayer as a routine since I have memorised it well.
But the subtitle of this heading really struck me and change the way I pray Our Father.

They said 
"The Lord's Prayer reminds us that we live in a wonderful place 
Our Father is in heaven and has made us citizens in his kingdom, where his will is done.
When we live with the Father, doing his will as it is in heaven, we say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD and trust that God will provide for us, in his ways.

When we abandon him, and no longer do his will as it is in heaven, we find that the world is not nearly as generous."

And it's so true and comes alive.

Last Friday, when I planned to prepare for Saturday's event, suddenly my hubby messaged me and asked him to accompany him to pick the kids up from school.
At first, I was reluctant, because I had lots of works to do and there's air con servicemen coming.
But somehow, I was reminded by the reading that day that the second commandment is to love your neighbour as you love yourself.
Love means sacrifice time for them too.

So in the end I said okay, however I was not sure if the air con servicing can finish on time.
He insisted to drop by and see if it's done by then.

What happen next ?
The aircon services finished on time when he's picking me up.
And after that I knew that he wanted someone to listen to him. So he talked and talked during the journey which I even couldn't remember what we were talking about haha...

Anyway, God provides.
After lunch, he left for work and the kids were sleeping.
And... what surprised me was...
The kids were having long naps, so I could finish off what I'm supposed to do before noon.
Isn't it amazing when we do what's right according to His will, He will provide

The second affirmation happens today.
My hubby went overseas this morning and yesterday I have told my oldest son to go to school by himself.
This morning, I didn't know that it's raining until my hubby messaged me while he's in the airport and my oldest son has just stepped our from the house.
I quickly messaged him and asked if he wanted me to send him to school or prefer to go by himself.
He chose the first choice.

I was a bit reluctant at first because it changed my plan. I was worry the youngest one wake up and cry, jam and many things.
But again, I did what I was supposed to do.

God provides !
Even though it's raining, the road was very smooth, there's no jam.
When I came back, my youngest one was still sleeping.
And when I sent the second and youngest ones to school, again it was very smooth.
I could do my exercise etc.

And when I dropped by at nearest Supermarket to buy bread and other stuffs for our home. I was in the queue and then there's a family that I though cutting my queue.
However, God reminded me to buy detergent since I was running out of it after seeing this family placed detergent in the cashier.

Isn't it wonderful that God provides even in the simples things.

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
