Put Trust in God


On Wednesday afternoon, my team mate in Jakarta messaged me to ask the status of the documents that's supposed to be received early this week.

When I checked with DHL, it seemed that DHL picked up the document but they didn't update the status and apparently didn't send to the correct destination. The customer service had no idea where the document was, he only told me that he would check in their back end and update me again the next day.

Worried ? yes, calm ? yes

I had a tendency to solve the problem as quick as possible but this one was beyond my control.

At night before sleeping, I prayed to God and St Anthony to help us to locate the document and I surrendered to God because I knew He took control of everything even it's beyond my capacity.

Thanks God, I could sleep well and in the morning, I prayed again and offered it with my fasting.

After I was done with my exercise, I received 2 missed calls from DHL and when I called them back, they told me that the document was in Cyprus. I didn't know who's  party was to blame, instead of looking for the mistakes, I asked them how to solve this problem.

They told me that I needed to contact the party in Cyprus and to arrange DHL pick up from there to be sent to Jakarta.

I didn't know this client of my boss, I called my boss, he never picked up so I plucked my courage to message this contact person that I got from previous document we sent there.

Since there's time difference between Singapore and Cyprus, I needed to wait patiently.

At noon, my boss called me and I told him what has just happened and he said that yes, he received email from Cyprus' party with regards to this wrong document and he forwarded it to me.

Oh thanks God, at least the document was found.

Quickly I messaged her and arranged for DHL pick up. Long short story, DHL has picked the document up and in transit to send it to Jakarta.

I was relieved in the evening. I shared this story to my hubby and kids during our family prayer, and it matched with the daily reading. 

I believed everything happen for a reason and I told my kids, even we make mistake, God will take control of everything as long as we pray and surrender to Him.

Thanks God that I experienced this and able to go through together with God and it became my living testimony to my family how God interfered and took control of everything from the beginning to the end.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

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...

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 ...
