Eat - Pray - Love at Western Europe, France (March 2011)

After 2 years plus since our last honeymoon, we finally had an opportunity to travel as a couple again.
Our son was 18 months old at that time and we left him in his mom's care for about 2 weeks.
Visiting Europe was his dream therefore we went to Western Europe (France, Netherland, Switzerland, Italy)

He planned everything from the flight, the train, the activities, accomodation etc.

We flew with Emirates and transited at Dubai for few hours. Our first destination was Paris.
It was a beautiful and lovely city. We loved the architecture of the building. Our hotel was located at Trocadero area, stones away from Eiffel Tower.
The only thing that lacking was the variation of food. Everyday we only could find baguette as the main staple.
As there were many historical buildings, we visited Tourists landmarks like Sacre Cour, Montmartre, Eiffel Tower, Musee de Louvre, Arch de Triomph, Champ de Elysses, Chateau Versailles

Then, we took train to the South of France,  Lourdes.
It was a beautiful and quiet village. We loved just sitting there enjoying the scenery, prayed to Mother Mary.

We heart France very much.

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in. 

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
