Journey in the Wilderness (Holy Land Trips 9 March 2019)


We stayed over night at Sheraton Sharm Al Sheikh.
In the morning, we were still not talking in the bus. We had long journey from South Sinai to Cairo.
It took almost 8 hours by bus, we passed by some important cities that were mentioned in the bible.

Elim and Mara


Marah well

Elim - 70 palm trees

The Waters of Marah and Elim (Exodus 15 : 22 - 27)

" Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. So the people grumbled against Moses, saying "What are we to drink?"

Then Moses cried out to the Lord and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water and the water became fit to drink.
There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test. He said "If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you. "

Then they came to Elim, where there were 12 springs and 70 palm trees and they camped there near the water.

Middle way, our spiritual guide prayed for us and this was when God healed us and reconciliation took place.

He has forgiven me even though his heart was still hurt. As for me, it made me realised two things.
1. There's no point, I reach to the finish line first if I'm alone. My heart and life still empty
2. God has placed me as a helper to my husband means without me, he will be crippled and he needs me to help and support him to reach the finish line.

At night, we reconciled and our relationship and love became stronger than before.

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...
