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.

Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

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...
