The beginning of Life in the Spirit Seminar + Covid Journey (24 Sep 2021)

Today is a special day as this is my first time joining LISS in English and it's the beginning of Covid Journey for our youngest son.

Yesterday night, he vomited after dinner and had fever, quickly we did self ART test and found out that he's the only one positive. Right after that, he went to self-isolation with me at Master bedroom and we only gave him paracetamol to bring the fever down.



This afternoon, we brought him for ART and PCR test in the clinic. His ART was positive and pending result for PCR test. Thus, he's still in the self-isolation room.

Thanks God there's no other symptoms except fever. He's still active and able to eat normally as long as we bring the fever down.

And when I prayed this morning, I read this verse which was giving me so much strength that God is with us. He allows us this to happen but He won't leave us alone, He will provide whatever we need.

True enough, I am grateful that my sister is living next door. I can ask her help when we can't go out.

His school teachers and principal are so supportive and keep us in prayer as well.

Back to the story of LISS, I believe it's Holy Spirit prompting to lead me sign up for this LISS in English. And the evil power was so strong similar like when we go to Holyland that sickness came at the right time. There's a temptation to skip the session with an excuse to take care the kid.

But, deep inside my heart, there's a yearning desire to reconnect my spirit back again to Holy Spirit, to encounter Jesus one more time.

Thanks God, I made a right choice. When I joined the praise and worship, I was so touched and getting emotional. 

Thanks God for this song that grace alone is enough.

We don't know what will happen next, but I believe God is with us and He knows what best for us and provide whatever we need. Amen !

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...
