1 Day before...


Yesterday, it was the revelation of what has happened in the past few days.
My mom in law was still sick but recovering better.
I was expecting another drama and only hope one day passes without any surprises.

Then the reading was from Sirach 4 : 11-19
It's like the answer from God about what has happened.

Wisdom teaches her children and gives help to those who seek her.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
Whoever holds her fast inherit glory, and the Lord blesses the place she enters.
Those who serve her minister to the Holy One ; the Lord loves those who love her.
Those who obey her will judge the nations, and all who listen to her will live secure.
If they remain faithful, they will inherit her ; their descendants will also obtain her.
For at first she will walk with them on tortuous paths ; she will bring fear and dread upon them,
and will torment them by her discipline until she trusts them. and she will test them with her ordinances.
Then she will come straight back to them again and gladden them, and will reveal her secrets to them,
If they go astray she will forsake them, and hand them over to their ruin.

From those incidents in the past few days, it turned out to be better in general perspective.
I know the true value of family. 

When I have no clues what I should do, my mom instead of freaking out, calmed me down and persuaded my dad to come over to help.
His saying yes was like assurance for me that nothing is more important than family.

In short, my mom and dad are the ones minding the children while we are away.

Secondly, with my mom and dad here, I'm having more peace of mind because they can look out for each other.
And 28 Feb is my mom and dad in law anniversary, I'm glad that both of them also can be together despite she's not in the good state.

And this also draws me closer to God and trust Him more. 
I only can say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Him and entrusting what I will leave behind for another 12 days before coming back to do my mission.

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 ...
