Fiat Voluntas Tua


I saw one of articles from internet about Lord's Prayer.
For the whole of my life, I recite this Father Prayer as a routine since I have memorised it well.
But the subtitle of this heading really struck me and change the way I pray Our Father.

They said 
"The Lord's Prayer reminds us that we live in a wonderful place 
Our Father is in heaven and has made us citizens in his kingdom, where his will is done.
When we live with the Father, doing his will as it is in heaven, we say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD and trust that God will provide for us, in his ways.

When we abandon him, and no longer do his will as it is in heaven, we find that the world is not nearly as generous."

And it's so true and comes alive.

Last Friday, when I planned to prepare for Saturday's event, suddenly my hubby messaged me and asked him to accompany him to pick the kids up from school.
At first, I was reluctant, because I had lots of works to do and there's air con servicemen coming.
But somehow, I was reminded by the reading that day that the second commandment is to love your neighbour as you love yourself.
Love means sacrifice time for them too.

So in the end I said okay, however I was not sure if the air con servicing can finish on time.
He insisted to drop by and see if it's done by then.

What happen next ?
The aircon services finished on time when he's picking me up.
And after that I knew that he wanted someone to listen to him. So he talked and talked during the journey which I even couldn't remember what we were talking about haha...

Anyway, God provides.
After lunch, he left for work and the kids were sleeping.
And... what surprised me was...
The kids were having long naps, so I could finish off what I'm supposed to do before noon.
Isn't it amazing when we do what's right according to His will, He will provide

The second affirmation happens today.
My hubby went overseas this morning and yesterday I have told my oldest son to go to school by himself.
This morning, I didn't know that it's raining until my hubby messaged me while he's in the airport and my oldest son has just stepped our from the house.
I quickly messaged him and asked if he wanted me to send him to school or prefer to go by himself.
He chose the first choice.

I was a bit reluctant at first because it changed my plan. I was worry the youngest one wake up and cry, jam and many things.
But again, I did what I was supposed to do.

God provides !
Even though it's raining, the road was very smooth, there's no jam.
When I came back, my youngest one was still sleeping.
And when I sent the second and youngest ones to school, again it was very smooth.
I could do my exercise etc.

And when I dropped by at nearest Supermarket to buy bread and other stuffs for our home. I was in the queue and then there's a family that I though cutting my queue.
However, God reminded me to buy detergent since I was running out of it after seeing this family placed detergent in the cashier.

Isn't it wonderful that God provides even in the simples things.

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...

Prayer for broken marriage

Lord, Your word promises that you’re near to the brokenhearted.  I am broken.  My heart hurts from all the hard parts  of this marriage.  You promise to save those who are crushed in spirit.  My spirit hurts from the deep cuts.  Save this marriage, heal my heart, restore the hope and joy in our marriage.  No, make it more full than it ever was, to begin with.  In Jesus’ name. (Psalm 34: 18) Heavenly Father, you said I could cast my burdens upon You and You will sustain me.  This hard season of marriage has lasted longer and been more painful than I ever could have imagined and I am failing.  Please take this burden and help me to not be shaken from the commitment to our marriage.  (Psalm 55:22) Holy Spirit, I am weak, hurting, and ready to give up on this whole mess of a marriage.  You said,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness”, but I am struggling to believe there is hope.  Take this ...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...
