A Journey to Promised Land

This is the reflection of my hubby's journey in his career from 4 years ago, on how God's vision was revealed.

End of the year 2016, his mentor cum direct supervisor has been retrenched, he was very devastated and full of anger and anxiety that he would be the next one to be in the chopping board. However by God's grace he managed to resolve, forgive and love the higher level management and blessings came. He got a pay rise within a month after his supervisor was retrenched. 

His order came like a river and he was in the peak of his career when suddenly another company came and made a better offer.

He was in the dilemma, it's because he's already in the comfortable position and life and have achieved everything from the zero ground. After discernment and praying, he received the vision from God that God asked him to climb the higher mountain but he needed to go down from this current mountain.



I affirmed him with the wisdom that I received that he needed to let go all the achievements so that God can work through him much more than we could imagine. I also told him that the road in front won't be easy like Israelite when they decided to depart from Egypt and faced the desert. As long as we stayed with God, He will guide and open the way for us.

After that, he decided to move on and follow God's prompts.

Indeed, the vision came true. It's not an easy journey for him. The boss who hired him resigned after 6 weeks and his colleague also asked to leave and the team was in the brink of disbanded.

Anger and anxiety sprouted again, he wanted to return back to the old company and prepared to find the new job. However, when I prayed, the answer is to stay there and God will guide and open the path one step at a time.

On Maundy Thursday, the first impossible order came and saved him from being chopped.

After wards, the blessing poured to him in terms of sales order. In this new company, he really felt that he's in the desert. And only by God's grace and providence, he survived each day.

Until mid of 2019, another company approached him and asked him to join them. Here comes another discernment. After praying and discernment, I was prompted that the new company may like the promised land that God will provide milk and honey as long as we stay under God's wings and never let Him go.

He decided to move again to the new company until now and God's promises came true.

He never really worked hard to find the customer for the orders, God provided every day/month.



The morals of this story are

1. Trust in God not lean on our understanding

2. Grateful for God's blessings but don't be attached to God's blessings

3. Always stay close with God

4. Listen to the spouse as God may speak through the spouse

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.

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...
