The Conversion of The Soul

 


I always believe that in every situation of our life, God always takes control eventhough it may not seem right according to human's perceptions. However, through painful experience and suffering, God shows His mercy and love even more.

This is the story of my dad's conversion which is still on-going.
One of my greatest wishes is to see my dad believe in Jesus Christ and being babtised before his earthly time is up.
With this current situation which I or my siblings can't travel to my hometown, it seems impossible for my dad to know Jesus if none told him so.

I encouraged my mom to tell about Jesus, but my mom is a bit hesitant and always says that's it's hard.
I keep praying and fasting for the conversion of his soul and offer the prayer through rosary intercessory and ask all angels and saints to help.

One day, when my sister faced the storm of life, five of us had video call. This was the first time that we gathered as a family and communicated what we felt and expressed our mind.
And from this conversation too, my mom told us that my dad has changed a lot.
He spends most of the time praying to Tian Kong (God in Kong hu cu religion) and loves to go to Gua Kerep which is Mother Mary Grotto. He calls Her Mother Mary and even though I don't know how and what he's praying for and what experience he has but I believe for sure that he loves Mother Mary so much.

Then, recently, my mom told me that my dad has called Tian Kong to Jesus.

For me, it's a big revelation that God answers my prayer even though he's not babtised yet.
I always believe what God has begin, He will end it in beautiful way.
This event encourages me to pray fervently and even more.

Thank you Mother Mary, all the angels and saints to intercede our prayer.

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 ...
