A state of confusion and doubting


I started my personal fasting journey last Monday after Easter for the heart purification for myself, hubby and two of my close friends who have been struggling as well. On the second day, I was in a roller coaster state especially the evening time.

The trigger point was when hubby messaged his "fling" for common stuff about the kids' homework but I found it's a bit intense and annoyed. Aware of the situation, he suddenly shown it to me without me asking to see the messages.

After watching netflix, he wanted to make love with me, but I just didn't feel good about it. I told him that I was not in the mood and felt not good.

I told him what I felt, my doubt and confusion and I even didn't know whether it's just my imagination or my strong sense that something was not right.

We talked heart to heart and he understood my point of view, the hurt inflicted to me. I told him that I didn't blame him because I knew in his logic part, he was aware what is right and what is wrong, which border he could not cross but I was not sure about his heart. I couldn't control his heart and feeling and sometimes the fling just happened like that.

I understood he developed the feeling out of pity not lust or love but I also saw that the other party was also in emotional needs thus it may create emotional connection one way or another.

This was the seed of adultery when it's nurtured either subconsciously or not and the consequences will be detrimental to everyone surrounding us.

We are one as husband and wife, what he faces right now is not only his problem but also mine. When the evil tried to deceive us and our minds through our weaknesses, we need to fight together and not blame one another.

This late morning, suddenly my joy has been taken away. I felt the darkness of my heart, the hurt, negativity and all the facts that I ignored before suddenly came to surface and affirmed what I felt.

It's really not a feeling that I am expecting. I felt so heavy, confused and no peace.

Despite all of this, I still can give thanks to God for this undesirable experiences. The purification process is not an easy one because it's all about our heart and feeling. However, there's hope if we are able to overcome this together that our love is going to be stronger and the light will be brighter.

God, please help us to go through this together as individual or husband and wife so in the end we can celebrate the victory together with Jesus' resurrection.

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...
