First week of 2021

I would say the first week was a hectic week. Many things happened not according to my plan.

It started with the kids's first day of school which I forgot to check their uniform and shoes and ending up they were not prepared. Not only that, many unexpected tasks came almost at the same time.

My multitasking skills are like two swords. During those period, I managed to handle and solve the problems on the other hand I didn't feel that I was in the presence.

My brain was working every second day and night even my dream was so sporadic. Fortunately, I could find some peace during that period. Morning prayer helps to calm me down and give me strengths and grace.

In the beginning of the year, I was prompted with the word "Grace" with the quote from bible verse 


Eventhough I am not sure what's the meaning of that, after a week has passed, I realised that God gave me a daily grace so that I was able to do His will.

When things come beyond my control, I pray and surrender it to God and He reminded me of Israelite story when God sent them out from Egypt. He was with them day and night and provided their needs, however they still complained because things were not going to according to their think.
Do I want to be an Israel who always complain and never satisfy or do I want to be the Paul who always gives thanks and embraces any situations.

That's give me strengths and true enough, when I start to give thanks, I feel positive energy build up. I have a strength to embrace it and soon the problems are solved unexpectedly. God provides what I need in the way I couldn't expect.

Today, when I walked to the gym, I tried to reflect on what this week has been doing.
The messages I receive are

  • Always put God first in everything I do and everything will fall into the right place
  • Withdrawing for winning
  • God's grace is sufficient
  • Challenges make me a witness of God's works and draw me closer to Him
  • I haven't been mindfully presence in the past week, I don't spend quality time to my hubby and kids as my mind is thinking something else.
  • I need to make it right by spending this weekend focusing on my spouse and kids.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
