A Journey to Promised Land

This is the reflection of my hubby's journey in his career from 4 years ago, on how God's vision was revealed.

End of the year 2016, his mentor cum direct supervisor has been retrenched, he was very devastated and full of anger and anxiety that he would be the next one to be in the chopping board. However by God's grace he managed to resolve, forgive and love the higher level management and blessings came. He got a pay rise within a month after his supervisor was retrenched. 

His order came like a river and he was in the peak of his career when suddenly another company came and made a better offer.

He was in the dilemma, it's because he's already in the comfortable position and life and have achieved everything from the zero ground. After discernment and praying, he received the vision from God that God asked him to climb the higher mountain but he needed to go down from this current mountain.



I affirmed him with the wisdom that I received that he needed to let go all the achievements so that God can work through him much more than we could imagine. I also told him that the road in front won't be easy like Israelite when they decided to depart from Egypt and faced the desert. As long as we stayed with God, He will guide and open the way for us.

After that, he decided to move on and follow God's prompts.

Indeed, the vision came true. It's not an easy journey for him. The boss who hired him resigned after 6 weeks and his colleague also asked to leave and the team was in the brink of disbanded.

Anger and anxiety sprouted again, he wanted to return back to the old company and prepared to find the new job. However, when I prayed, the answer is to stay there and God will guide and open the path one step at a time.

On Maundy Thursday, the first impossible order came and saved him from being chopped.

After wards, the blessing poured to him in terms of sales order. In this new company, he really felt that he's in the desert. And only by God's grace and providence, he survived each day.

Until mid of 2019, another company approached him and asked him to join them. Here comes another discernment. After praying and discernment, I was prompted that the new company may like the promised land that God will provide milk and honey as long as we stay under God's wings and never let Him go.

He decided to move again to the new company until now and God's promises came true.

He never really worked hard to find the customer for the orders, God provided every day/month.



The morals of this story are

1. Trust in God not lean on our understanding

2. Grateful for God's blessings but don't be attached to God's blessings

3. Always stay close with God

4. Listen to the spouse as God may speak through the spouse

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
