Four Fors



Usually I never wrote Sunday homily message but today’s homily message from Fr Vinay keeps ringing in my head and this verse that I have listened it before in St Paul the apostle movie re-appeares again today so I decide to write this down as self reminder in the near future.
Today’s gospels about Jesus, the carpenter son  who was being rejected by the villagers at his hometown and the Father asked us if we were in the same situation what would we do?

On the other hand, the second reading was taken from the letter of st paul to Corinthians said  that God’s grace is sufficient enough and God’s power is made perfect in weaknesses meaning that we need to have faith in God that if we are in the tribulation, God's grace is sufficient enough for us to walk through that path and in those tribulation, weaknesses, we could see God's power to be revealed.

In addition, the Father said there were FOUR FORS

- FORget
We need to forget our vengeance, revenge, our problems and look around there may be someone who may have experienced bigger problems than us
- FORgive
We need to forgive others who may hurt us and also the hardest part was to forgive ourselves
- FORgo
We need to forgo our egos, pride, worldly ambitions in order to live simplicity
- FOR God
Whatever we do in this world is back to glorify God

These are beautiful reminders that we need it in our daily life.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

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...

A Burger Date

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.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
