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.

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...
