Grace upon Grace (Holy Land Trips 2 March 2019)

Still on jet lag mode, I woke up around 4am and couldn't sleep again.
I still didn't know the news at home because I didn't ask neither my mom messaged me anything.
I cried in silent and had conversation with Jesus, I told Him what I felt inside.
It was like a sword piercing my soul, I was helpless and powerless seeing my loved ones suffer thousand miles out there and yet I couldn't do anything. My physical and mental strength had been dried out.

In the morning, we visited Mount Tabor where Jesus was presumably going to that mountain to pray and asked 3 disciples to come along. And transfiguration happened when He encountered Moses and Elijah.

We had morning mass there and after communion we had outpouring holy spirit prayer. There, I received a grace and strength from the Lord. I felt peace and had strength to accept and embrace things that happen not according to my expectation.
There's one verse that kept ringing in my head.

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...
