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.

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...
