Love your God and God will provide

When we were in Holy Land, our spiritual advisor told us that many people after coming back from Holy Land received lots of blessings in terms of material blessings.
I and my husband when we heard about that, thought well it may be true because their life and attitude changed thus everything is going well and right. But it won't come in any instant.

However, what happened was the opposite of our thought.
When we just landed back to Singapore, my husband received a message from his ex-boss that his previous company was hiring and they thought of my husband. The salary reduced as the workload too.

Then, few days after that, his ex-colleague also informed him that her company was hiring and she thought of my husband. She has spoken to her boss and asked him to send the resume.
He reluctantly sent the resume.

He didn't want to leave this company at first because he felt that God's plan has not finished yet.
Here, there's no pressure from the boss, he did his work on his own, no politics, and able to enjoy the company benefits, near to our house etc.

But God always loves to surprise us.

He finally met with the Managing Director of the company he submitted his resume and this MD loved his attitude and in the end, they gave him an offer.

It came as a surprise, eventhough the salary only increases in a small portion but he feels that he could contribute more there than in the current company.
He asks my wisdom and advises too while he's also praying if this is God's will.

Then, I found this beautiful verse from the bible.


It's like an affirmation for him.
His mission is no longer money oriented but how he could contribute himself, mentoring and coaching to pass his knowledge to others.

And that's God's promises that He will send the rain and watch over the land if we obey and put Him first above anything.


In the end, he decided to resign and look forward to join new company in 2 months time.

What amazed us is 2 months after coming back from Holy Land, our life, heart and mind have changed. Our motivation is no longer worldly things. We are called to be His donkeys to touch other's people life.
We feel that God will provide our needs so we have more important mission than just worldly 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 ...
