Satur-date with God


I think it's been quite sometimes I didn't write what I am grateful for.
So here's it is a list of my gratitude while I am sipping in my tea and listening to the song "Anugrah Terbesar"


First of all, I am very grateful of God's unconditional love and daily grace.
How I am loved as who I am with all my flaws, mistakes and imperfection. I am a free woman and saved by God's grace.
I am grateful that God has revealed His purpose of creating me as one of His beloved one. This empowers me to make use my time fruitfully in this world.
I am grateful for the good health and the body He has entrusted. This is the best gift I ever received from the tiny cells until the whole body, He wonderfully made it from my mother's womb.


I am so grateful for another best gift in my life which is my hubby. How his heart thirsts to know more about You, seeing him growing closer and gaining Your wisdom are priceless.
I am grateful that You have reconciled us, purify our relationship for greater purpose and mission.
I am grateful for the love that You have planted to us. The grace that poured upon us so that we can accept and love each other as a whole.


I am grateful for the three little miracles of life. Thank you for entrusting us to these beautiful handsome boys.
They may not be the smartest and the most talented kids, but they grow as who You want them to be.
I am grateful that they reflect Your image, despite the flaws and mistakes they make
I am grateful that they have desires to know You more through the story we told, song we sing
I am grateful that they will be Your instrument of love, to be the blessing of their friends and societies.

I am grateful for our parents and brothers and sisters that still alive and healthy.
I am grateful that You still provide daily bread and take care their needs.


I am grateful for the community that I have which is Family Builder.
Because of this community, we are able to learn from other's mistakes and grow our faith together.
I am grateful for the people that You have placed in our life either to sharpen us or to support us.
I am grateful that You show us the lost sheep so that we can pray and make sacrifice for them to let them return back to You.


I am grateful for the work, office, bosses, colleagues that You have planned from the beginning and placed to my life in the right time and right place.
I am grateful for the roles and tasks that suit me perfectly to make me using my talents, keep humble and learn more.
I am grateful for the mission to be salt, light and city on the hill top to make my life more meaningful.
I am grateful for the project and challenges I face in my work to remind me not to lean on my own understanding but trust in You and obedient on Your instructions.


I am grateful for mbak Sugi whom You have sent to us in the right time.
I am grateful for her pure heart, willingness to work and her humble heart.
I am grateful that You still protect and bless her family in Indonesia and keep them safe.


I am grateful for the beautiful creations that I still can enjoy.
I am grateful for the sun, moon, plants and animals that I could see while I exercise or stroll around.
I am grateful for COVID-19 which shut the whole world and purify us back to basic.

Oh God, the list is still long.....

Please remind me of these gratitude lists whenever I couldn't see You or see problems bigger than You.

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
