Spring Cleaning


Today, I did spring cleaning.
Cleaning up my eldest's paperworks and school book while tidying up the cupboard.
During the spring cleaning, there are three items I found

1. Items seldom or never use anymore (ready to be discarded)
2. Forgotten items but it's useful now
3. Useful items but no longer needed (can be donated)

I usually did spring cleaning every 3 months, most of the time cleaning up toys as well as yearly spring cleaning for school books and paper works.

It takes courage to start because sometimes I don't know where to start. But after finishing it, I feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good.
The cupboard is now more spacious, it's nice to view it again like brand new.

It also applies in spiritual life.
Most of the time we have lots of cluttered things in our life.
With the fast pace we have, we just add in baggages now and then and in the end we feel that our life is so messy, cluttered, lost focus and purpose.

When we do "spring cleaning", we start to find out which baggages that actually can be discarded.
All those noises and distractions in our life can be thrown away.
We also find out which things that have been forgotten but it has the importance in our life for eg, family, friends
Last but not least, we also discover back our talents that we can contribute back to society. The desire that God has planted in our life to make our life is worth telling.

So, regular spring cleaning either physically or spiritually is not a bad idea at all.

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...
