God's instrument of Love


This is the sharing from my husband which somewhat blessed me this morning.

Two weeks ago, he went to Korea to oversee the inspection of his projects. We have prayed together before his departure that everything would be going well and fruitful and it would be his last business trip for this year.

This was the first time he met the German inspector and since this inspector was very senior, he's very strict and maintained his professionalism.
The first day of inspection, he almost marked the goods as "FAIL" because the appearances were not according to his expectation. My husband argued that he and his team has warned the client's team that it's impossible to do something on the goods and since the client insisted, that's the best thing they have done.

The inspector decided to check with his team and would let my husband know the next day.
He prayed very hard so it could "PASS".

The next day, the inspector told him that his team had no problem with the appearance and decided to remark the goods as "PASS"
My husband was delighted and told me that his prayer has been answered.

The second day of the inspection, everything was going well and all were "PASS"
The third day, it's a mess, because the goods have been contaminated, my husband was languid, he told me today's not a good day for him.

The fourth day of the inspection, everything was going well and he hoped that the last day would be another fruitful day.
On the opposite, the last day of inspection was a total mess and worse than all other days.

He's very tired physically and mentally and couldn't wait to go home.
When he's back, he still felt the pressure from the clients and the team.
Lacking of sleep, emotionally exhausted, he just kept quiet and I knew he's not in the good mood.
I didn't want to probe him further, I just prayed to God to provide whatever he needs.

I didn't know much about his works but one thing that I am pretty sure God knows the best and He never leave him alone.

Two days after he's back,  he served as communion minister at mass, God gave him encouragement words through the father's homily.
He said that it's not about the adversity but how we responded to this adversity that may affect and change our life.
After he came back from the mass, he seemed to find the strength back to face this challenges.

Day by day, God has directed him and what surprised me is he became a good friend of the inspector.
This inspector is a non-believer, but he feels comfortable talking with my husband even he loves to talk about his family and other works unrelated.

I told him, perhaps that what God wants him to do.
Through my husband, this inspector could see the truth and the light. It may not change the inspector's faith and belief but it brings him to know about God's love.

I feel blessed and always believe that God has put him in this job for something bigger than us.
If he can be the hand of God to touch other people's life, as his wife, I will be more than grateful to God.

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.

Prayer for broken marriage

Lord, Your word promises that you’re near to the brokenhearted.  I am broken.  My heart hurts from all the hard parts  of this marriage.  You promise to save those who are crushed in spirit.  My spirit hurts from the deep cuts.  Save this marriage, heal my heart, restore the hope and joy in our marriage.  No, make it more full than it ever was, to begin with.  In Jesus’ name. (Psalm 34: 18) Heavenly Father, you said I could cast my burdens upon You and You will sustain me.  This hard season of marriage has lasted longer and been more painful than I ever could have imagined and I am failing.  Please take this burden and help me to not be shaken from the commitment to our marriage.  (Psalm 55:22) Holy Spirit, I am weak, hurting, and ready to give up on this whole mess of a marriage.  You said,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness”, but I am struggling to believe there is hope.  Take this ...
