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...

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 ...
