The Power of Prayer and Fasting

It's a testimony how great is our God. 

Weather has been unpredictable these days, and on Friday we have planned team outing since 2 months ago. 

Two weeks before, it's been raining in the afternoon and even when I checked 5 days before, it's a high chance to have raining in the afternoon with even some hours are thunderstorm.

I still had hope that the forecast may change, however every time I checked the weather forecast, it happened as predicted.

On Thursday morning, I decided to pray and fast. I told God that I knew this was a trivial case and not like life and death situation, but it would be nice if the rain could stop for 3 hours only during our activity. Furthermore, I told God too if He has another plan, and the rain still happened, I still gave thanks to Him.

Miraculously, on Thursday, it's a nice and cloudy day and I jokingly told God, please don't mess up my request, I asked good weather on Friday not Thursday.

On Friday morning, it seems that weather was in our favour and the organizer told us that according to NEA forecast, there will be no raining in their area so we can proceed with the activity.



It turned out, the whole day was a sunshine and even hotter than usual day. In the end, the activity turned well according to the plan.

On Saturday noon, the heavy rain started pouring again.

I only can say How great Thou art. It may be a simple and humble request but I will always keep this in mind that God always care even small little things, furthermore during the tribulation, He will care even more than anything.

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...
