Live in the presence


Few days ago, I was suddenly inspired by this wisdom words "Live in the moment"
As human especially in this new age, we tend to rush and worry about tomorrow and the future.
We seldom live in the presence.

What does mean "live in the presence" ?

It means we enjoy every moment of our situation right now. It may be undesirable situation or even it may be a comfortable situation.

When I reflected back about my life, when I was working a decade ago, I always thought to be a housewife and stay at home mom would be a perfect job. But when this "dream job" has come true, I was thinking how to earn more and more money either for my self fulfilment or this family.
In the end, I was not be able to live fully either becoming a working adult or staying at home mom.

But when this "live in the presence" suddenly struck me, it reminds me to enjoy "now" moments.
As God has called me to be a stay at home mom, I should make best for this call.
If this is God's calls, I should not be worry about family finances, He will provide our needs.

In the future, I don't know when, if God calls me to return back to workforce, He will lead me there and provide my needs to take care the children.
One thing for sure is in whatever situation, if we are tuning and always listen to God's cue, we will be able to grow either become working or staying at home mom.

Similarly with my hubby. His call is now serving this company, where he needs to do his best to become the blessings for the people surrounding him.
However, few days ago, he has this cue, to start something on his own. He may not know yet what and how, but I believe if it's God's cue for him, God will lead and guide him one step at time.

The important thing is be patient, walk slowly and not rushing God's time, and slowly His beautiful plan will be unfolded.
The secret to have a fulfilled life is "CHERISH THE MOMENT, LIVE IN THE PRESENCE"

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...

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 ...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...
