A Car Park Story


This is very simple story but have deep message for me.
Car parks in my block has top 10 favourite spots ("VIP") which is located near our lift lobby and many residents including me like to eyeing this spots because for the convenience sake. As usual yesterday after we came back from dinner, we got "VIP" spot because we came back early. But I knew that one hour later I needed to pick TR up meaning I might not be able to get in to this favourite spot again.

True enough, just after I stepped out from the lift lobby, I saw a shadow of light in the carpark, there's car was looking for the available "VIP" spots and seem that all are occupied, they were just about to go. On that moment, I had an intention to wait after the car has gone then I got into my car but on the second thought, I told myself that it's public car park anyway, every one pays the same rate and we have no right to keep it for ourselves so I just got into the car and that car turned back and waited for me to leave and occupied this spot.

After coming back from picking him up, I thought that the chance would be very slim to get into favourite spot since it's weekday and it's almost late, but I told myself, never mind, I just tried my luck.
In my surprise, there's a car that's going to leave from one of the favourite spots even tough it's not the same spot. I was amazed and exclaimed, God provides back !

From this incident, God is like speaking to me that sometimes we love ourselves to be attached into something that we don't really own. Our materials, children, job, power, fame are not ours. But we love to hold it tightly and don't want to let them go.
If we learn to understand that everything in this world is temporary and learning to let go and share with others, God will surely provide back whatever we need.
Sometimes God speaks in unexpected way in our daily life.
And it's just coincidence with yesterday's words of God from 1 Cor 7 : 30 - 31

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...
