Davin Indah Love story

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

I always believe that whatever happen in our life as long as we are faithful to God is under His plan for our greater good even though we may not understand yet. When I and hubby had a fight on Saturday night, I couldn't sleep thus I woke up early, showered and put my make up to cover my swollen eyes after crying the whole night. I decided to clean and tidy up the kitchen. When I tidied up, suddenly my dad came and accompanied me. Basically he didn't do much, just being there with me and helped a bit here and there.  I felt so loved and protected when I was in the heart turmoil. He didn't know that I just had fight the night before but his presence consoled and comforted me. I guess that's the best feeling I ever had with my dad. When I reflect back, I guess that's what our Father in heaven do also to us. We may not feel the supernatural presence but He's with us through people surrounding. I thank God for this beautiful moment and I will treasure it in my heart...

Yesterday (Sunday) was a blessed Sunday. I started my day with sacrament of reconciliation following by Sunday mass and had my first day of fasting. I asked God during the Holy Eucharist to give me grace and love as I can't predict or control the day and future, I want to give the best I could and let God take control of everything. We had family dinner to celebrate our first son's birthday and my dad's early birthday, we invited our relatives as well. At night, after watching netflix, we talked again, he told me that he forgave me and we  reconciled and made love. It's one of the best sex since last year Christmas's eve :P  There's peace in our heart and we could sleep very well and ready to start a blessed week again.

When undesirable things happen, I always believe that it's part of God's plan to pull us back to the right track. Blessings and answered pray sometimes come from the undesirable things in human's eyes, however God always provide and be with us when we need to go through the desert and detox. Last week, my best friend, Monica gave me this book about Love in marriage by Pope Francis. She thought of me and bought this this book. I never guess that this book has been prepared when I need to go through this journey. I read the book this morning and it's all about love. The book dive deeper about the meaning of love from 1 Cor 13 : 4 - 7 Love is patient It refers to the quality of one who does not act on impulse and avoid giving offense. Being patient does not mean letting ourselves be constantly mistreated, tolerating physical aggression or allowing other people to use us. We encounter problems whenever we think that relationship or people ought to be perfect or when we put ...

Yesterday morning was another awakening call for me. After making love, hubby asked me to walk down with him in the park. I knew in my instinct something "not in the good way" was gonna happen and I will get reprimanded by him. True enough, when we walked down, he spoke up with calm voice and told me what he felt over the past few weeks. He felt that I have been emotionally distant and indifferent with his presence. He also felt that I was a changed person, he asked me if I felt the same. I knew the day will gonna happen because I even myself felt that my life was a complete mess. I didn't take care myself, I ate junk food, slept less, overwhelmed with works and anxiety. I was back to my old self that I even despised and yes, because of the work took over my life, my soul and no more left for him, the kids, friends and family. I put the priority wrong and my life was a mess. Thanks God, I still put God first and had commitment to have morning prayer before my works, thus ...

After returning from Batam, unpacked and packed for the next trip which was business trip to Jakarta. We had first ever event after Covid and participated in Tech in Asia as an exhibitor. Something that I missed when I did it a few years ago. It's tiring but fulfilling as I was able to connect with different people from different industries. I loved meeting new people, learning from them and collaborate with them. Even though no pay rise yet haha I took it as a learning journey for me. With lots of upcoming projects, I felt scared and excited at the same time. It can be overwhelmed sometimes, but I surrender it to God. He provides me with new opportunities and He will provide whatever I need to accomplish that task. I prayed Novena for surrendering to God, thanks to my dear friend Monica who repost it in the IG.

As we were closing a midterm school holiday, we went to Batam for 3 days 2 nights to celebrate our dear friend's 15th wedding anniversary. I and our first and third child went first to Batam on Friday by Ferry while hubby and our second child went there on Saturday after First Holy Communion. It's a lot of fun, we ate authentic indo food, rest and relax at the gym and attended wedding anniversary mass and parties with our close friends especially those who went to Holy land together 3 years ago. It's kinda a mini reunion. We celebrated our friend's wedding anniversary on Saturday afternoon with the theme beautiful in white. Everyone was looking fabulous and awesome and we had a great night together. Hubby came just in time before the holy communion. Thanks God for the perfect weather, for the friendship and for the laughter.
