Crucification (Holy Land Trips 1 March 2019)

When we landed at Abu Dhabi airport in the morning, I asked my mom how's my dad now.
Instead of comfort, she told me that my dad's condition getting worse and now our second son started to vomit, had no appetite and run on fever.

We stopped over at Abu Dhabi for 4 hours, so we could take shower and have breakfast at lounge.
As I was still thinking about home, I had less appetite despite delicious breakfast spread at lounge.
Our next flight was at 11am and it took 3 hours plus to Amman, Jordan.

Arriving at Jordan in the afternoon, I received another not so good news that our third son started to vomit also, run on fever and last but not least, my mom started to feel sick also.
I was so helpless and powerless when I told my hubby about it.
Then my hubby told me, if things got worse, he would fly back to Singapore and I carried on with the journey.
Puzzled with his decision, I just kept quiet because I couldn't think anymore.


flight from Abu Dhabi - Amman

Arrived safely at Amman
Our first destination was Mount Nebo and we had a glimpse of what Amman city looked like during our journey there.
The city was so dry, dusty and lots of poor and undeveloped areas.



Despite the darkness I felt, I was still grateful that we have landed safely in Amman, and had a chance to see the other side of the world and thankful that we stayed in Singapore which we could get everything far more proper than this area.




When we arrived at Mount Nebo, we had thanksgiving Mass inside the church which exactly what I need. There, I received the message to turn off the watsapp and focus in Jesus.



After finishing the mass, we were running against time to reach Israel border before 6pm.
That day was almost Sabbath day therefore Israel border needed to close earlier than the usual schedule.
We reached the border 5 minutes before the closing time, anxiety and faith mixed together but we were all relieved once our bus was allowed to enter the immigration center.


Everything was going well until we reached the hotel at Plaza Nazareth.
We were so tired from the long journey and finally we had good night sleep.

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...

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 ...
