Davin Indah Love story

The past four days have been incredibly hectic from the moment I woke up each morning. From sending the kids off early, exercising, picking up winter clothes and boots, viewing storage units, serving in PD KKIHS, to teaching the kids at night—it felt like a never-ending cycle. I was so busy that I didn’t have proper meals, often grabbing whatever I could while on the road. On Thursday afternoon, before serving in PD KKIHS, I found myself with 30 minutes to spare. I decided to enter Our Lady of Lourdes Church. The quiet and serene atmosphere gave me a moment to pause. There, I broke down and poured out my feelings to God. I felt alone and overwhelmed. I told Him that, if I had a choice, I’d rather work for someone else—just fulfilling my responsibilities, earning a paycheck, and not worrying so much about the uncertainties of entrepreneurship. I longed for the freedom to travel without constant concern. As I gazed at the hanging cross, God’s love enveloped me. It was as if my Guardian A...

After much discernment, I have finally decided to embark on an exciting new chapter in my career: starting my own business—a  Winter Rental Business in Singapore ! This journey is anything but easy, as I am building everything from scratch on my own. There are countless missing pieces to the puzzle that I need to solve and an overwhelming amount to learn in a short time. The biggest challenges ahead include: Securing storage space for inventory Sourcing quality inventory Developing user-friendly platforms Marketing effectively to the right audience Creating a seamless system for an exceptional customer experience Balancing these tasks while also managing family responsibilities, ministry, and other commitments adds another layer of complexity. Amidst it all, I continue to pray, trusting God to provide everything I need. I seek His wisdom to guide me and ask for ordinary "angels" to help me fill in the gaps and overcome my weaknesses. So, here’s to this new adventure—filled wi...

Our best friend was getting married! We had known the bride for 4.5 years, since the pandemic, and our friendship had grown stronger over time. We were honored to witness her journey as she finally found someone special, who is now her husband. It was a privilege to be part of their love story by standing by their side as groomsman and bridesmaid. We flew to Jakarta on Friday morning, spent the day fitting our dresses, and had dinner with friends, eagerly anticipating the big day on Saturday. The next morning started early—around 2:30 a.m. We got ready with makeup and dresses, joined the bride for a beauty shoot, participated in the gate crash, and finally headed to the church for the Sacrament of Matrimony. In the evening, the celebrations continued with a lively reception, followed by an unforgettable after-party. The day was more than just a wedding; it was a joyful celebration of the beginning of a lifetime journey together. We wish the couple nothing but the very best in their mar...

At the end of 2024, we closed the year with a Thanksgiving Mass at the Church of the Holy Cross, where our eldest son served as an altar boy. The celebration continued with the church community, joyfully welcoming the New Year together. As 2025 began, on the Feast of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, we attended Mass at St. Mary of the Angels. To our surprise, the church was filled with people—a heartening sign that many recognize the challenges this year might bring and seek God's grace to guide them through. I’ve created a vision board for this year to help us remain clear and focused on our goals. With this plan, I entrust everything to God, trusting in His wisdom to guide and multiply our efforts for our good and His greater glory.

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

As the clock ticks toward a new year, I find myself reflecting on the journey of year 2024. It has been a bittersweet season, filled with challenges and growth. Here are some key takeaways : 1. Health is Wealth Battling a frozen shoulder for almost a year was no small challenge. By God's grace, I experienced healing during my trip to Greece, a reminder of how precious good health truly is. 2. Family is the Greatest Gift The first half of the year saw me travelling frequently for work, often feeling like a weekend mom. It was a difficult decision, but I ultimately chose to prioritise my family over my career - a choice I will never regret. 3. Forgiveness if Freedom Forgiving those who have wronged us is never easy. Pride and ego can cloud our hearts. But by learning to empathise, forgive and let go, I discovered the freedom and peace that come from a truly unburdened soul. 4. God's Providence Over the past five years, we've witnessed God's hand in every step of our journ...

Wrapping up our final vacation of 2024, we reflect on what has become our favorite destination: Japan. This trip was not only an incredible journey but also a source of meaningful life lessons. 1.  Unlocking New Challenges We were initially hesitant to drive in Hokkaido during winter. However, by God’s grace, we embraced the challenge and took steps to prepare ourselves both mentally and physically. From researching suitable cars for snowy conditions to taking a crash course online and seeking advice from friends with experience, we learned how to navigate the icy roads safely. The effort was rewarding, proving that with preparation and determination, challenges can lead to growth and unforgettable experiences. 2.  Perfect Timing Throughout our trip, there were many close calls where we nearly missed transport or schedules. Yet, God’s providence ensured everything worked out perfectly. One memorable instance was when we caught a local bus from Otaru Station to Otaru Aquarium. ...
