Passing On The Faith

There's an incident one month ago that our eldest son did something shameful. He suddenly sent a vulgarity message to his friend and his friend forwarded it to the other groups.

Thanks God, my hubby saw the msg and did damage control. He's very disappointed to him because we never taught anything like that and he's been accompanying him to study and almost every day spending quality time with him.

As for me, this is like a sign for God that we can't control our children 100%. As parents, we only able to do what we know best for them but it's only 1%.

We don't know their heart and they may change every day. Thus Faith become the most ultimate weapon.

It's prompted me to pass the faith on the children not just the praying habit but reading the bible. They may not understand yet now, but when times come, I believe that Holy Spirit will guide their heart and mind especially when they need to make important decision in their life.

So every night, we read daily reading and either I or hubby will explain the meaning behind and how we should behave. Surprisingly, they are very enthusiastic and looking forward to it.

My ultimate purpose is so that they love and put God first in everything they do. Others will follow as long as they stay very close with God and never leave Him.

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...
