First born son - Theodore Richmond Kusuma

On Wednesday evening, 23 September 2009, we welcomed our first born son into this world.
I was knocked down during the operation therefore I was unable to see him clearly when the nurse put him into my chest.
But hearing from the nurse and the doctor, that he was healthy eventhough he's smaller in size, I was relieved and overjoyed.

First few days of his life was never been easy. Our life was upside down, sleepless night, helpless, you name it. I broke down during the first 2 weeks

But things getting better after three months, when he could smile, giggles.

As new parents, we did everything by the book. We scheduled his drink, time table, we sterilised his toys regularly etc.
When he finally ate solid food, it was another adventure for us. Watching him tasting different food was enjoyable moments.
Thanks God, he loved to eat and did not have problem with his meals.

Thanks to my husband, I was able to stay at home, watching every milestone, recording and writing it in a blog.
It was a privilege for me and I treasured it very much.

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...

Chinese New Year in Jakarta (22 - 28 Jan 2020)

This year, we went back to Jakarta for Chinese New Year and we spent 6 nights there. One of the nights, we had staycation at Pullman Ciawi, which's new hotel in Bogor. On the eve of Chinese New Year, we had reunion dinner at Sentral Restaurant. The next day we had a family gathering with mommy's sibling and their children at Puri Mall. On Sunday, we went to Kuntum Farmfield and spent the rest of the weekend in the hotel and had fun there. The hotel resort is huge and had a lot of entertainment for the kids. It's a pleasant and memorable sweet escape and thanks God that everyone's in good health.

Reflection in year 2024

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...
