God's strength is sufficient enough (Holy Land Trips 2 March 2019)

After coming down from Mt Tabor, we went to Yardenit, Jordan river for Babtism renewal.
This was not the exact location where Jesus was babtised but this site was dedicated for Christians who wanted to be babtised or renewed their babtism sacraments.

It was freezing cold, windy and drizzling.
Our spiritual guide, Om Ben asked us to get into the water and dip into the freezing cold water for 7x like Naaman Story which symbolised that we needed to let go all of our diseases and released back into the river and came up as a new individual again.

I was shivering and reluctant at first because of the coldness but I remembered this verse and it gave me strength to do what I need to do. In addition, the doves that flew around the river reminded me what Jesus situation was when he was babtised two thousands years back.
This calming doves were like holy spirit who were always there with us, cheering us so that we do not give up on hope.

The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

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...
