House of Love - Thanks for the beautiful memory

The day has come to say goodbye to our beloved House of Love, as we prepare to hand it over to its new owner. We are grateful for the past 12 years filled with beautiful memories—joy, laughter, sadness, and disappointment. This was our first home, built from the ground up, where our family grew from one to three boys. In this house, our marriage was tested, and we weathered the challenges of COVID-19 together. As we move on, we bless this home and its new owner, wishing them the same joy and love we experienced here.

During this time of isolation, I have sensed that God communicates in His own way.

This morning, as I woke up and prayed, I felt overwhelmed by uncertainty regarding my next steps now that the house project is complete. Should I take some courses? Look for a new job? Start my own business? The multitude of choices seemed daunting. After finishing my weight training, I did 30 minutes of low-impact cardio on the treadmill while listening to a sermon on YouTube.

Here are the key takeaways from the sermon: Cultivate a Relationship with God : Knowing God personally helps us recognize when He speaks to us. Ask and Be Prepared : God will answer our prayers, but His answers ...

Anxiety Vs Trust in the Lord

The past few weeks have been filled with anxiety for me, largely due to the transition to our new house and changes in my career. I officially tendered my resignation on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On one hand, I feel relieved; on the other, I’m grappling with a sense of loss. As I move from being a working mother to a stay-at-home mom, I’m letting go of aspects of my identity, including travel perks, personal time, my social circle, and professional recognition. While I’m gaining more time for myself and my family, and a chance to return to a healthier lifestyle, I’m struggling to let go of my previous roles and privileges. I’ve been praying earnestly to find a new job soon, but it feels like doors remain closed no matter how hard I try. Recently, as I was using the treadmill at the gym, I watched a sermon on YouTube about anxiety and trusting in the Lord. It spoke to how anxiety isn’t a sin but a signal that we might not be fully trusting God. I...

House of Love - Packing and last day

The day has finally come to say goodbye to our House of Love in Clementi. We’ve been slowly packing and moving to our new home, the House of Transfiguration in Tengah, but we still have many loose items to sort. Fortunately, we enlisted the help of movers to transport the larger items and the remaining belongings to our new place. Here’s a glimpse of our last day at the House of Love. It’s a bittersweet moment. Thank you for being a silent witness to our journey of love.
