Spirit Wings (Holy Land Trips 2 March 2019)

Past noon times, we had lunch at the restaurant on the side of Sea of Galilee.
We had St Peter's fish for our lunch. They named it St Peter's fish because of the story in the bible where Jesus and Peter were asked to pay the tax to Caesar even though they were not supposed to and Jesus told Peter to catch the fish and he will find the coin inside the fish's mouth.

After that, we had an opportunity to sail the ancient boat through Sea of Galilee like what disciples did two thousands years ago. We had praise and worship inside the boat.
What captured my attention was the school of birds that flew around our boat.
I could see how well behaved they were.

Sometimes they stayed still in the water, when they flew there were times they didn't move their wings and embraced the wind while waiting faithfully for us to feed them from the boat.

They never grasp or enter the boat even though they knew there were food inside.
It really reminded me about what we should behave.

They always together as community, never complain and never grasp the things that do not belong to them. Staying still and embracing the situation and waiting faithfully for our mercy to feed them.

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...

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. 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.
