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

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...
