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.

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...

Prayer for broken marriage

Lord, Your word promises that you’re near to the brokenhearted.  I am broken.  My heart hurts from all the hard parts  of this marriage.  You promise to save those who are crushed in spirit.  My spirit hurts from the deep cuts.  Save this marriage, heal my heart, restore the hope and joy in our marriage.  No, make it more full than it ever was, to begin with.  In Jesus’ name. (Psalm 34: 18) Heavenly Father, you said I could cast my burdens upon You and You will sustain me.  This hard season of marriage has lasted longer and been more painful than I ever could have imagined and I am failing.  Please take this burden and help me to not be shaken from the commitment to our marriage.  (Psalm 55:22) Holy Spirit, I am weak, hurting, and ready to give up on this whole mess of a marriage.  You said,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness”, but I am struggling to believe there is hope.  Take this ...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...
