A state of confusion and doubting


I started my personal fasting journey last Monday after Easter for the heart purification for myself, hubby and two of my close friends who have been struggling as well. On the second day, I was in a roller coaster state especially the evening time.

The trigger point was when hubby messaged his "fling" for common stuff about the kids' homework but I found it's a bit intense and annoyed. Aware of the situation, he suddenly shown it to me without me asking to see the messages.

After watching netflix, he wanted to make love with me, but I just didn't feel good about it. I told him that I was not in the mood and felt not good.

I told him what I felt, my doubt and confusion and I even didn't know whether it's just my imagination or my strong sense that something was not right.

We talked heart to heart and he understood my point of view, the hurt inflicted to me. I told him that I didn't blame him because I knew in his logic part, he was aware what is right and what is wrong, which border he could not cross but I was not sure about his heart. I couldn't control his heart and feeling and sometimes the fling just happened like that.

I understood he developed the feeling out of pity not lust or love but I also saw that the other party was also in emotional needs thus it may create emotional connection one way or another.

This was the seed of adultery when it's nurtured either subconsciously or not and the consequences will be detrimental to everyone surrounding us.

We are one as husband and wife, what he faces right now is not only his problem but also mine. When the evil tried to deceive us and our minds through our weaknesses, we need to fight together and not blame one another.

This late morning, suddenly my joy has been taken away. I felt the darkness of my heart, the hurt, negativity and all the facts that I ignored before suddenly came to surface and affirmed what I felt.

It's really not a feeling that I am expecting. I felt so heavy, confused and no peace.

Despite all of this, I still can give thanks to God for this undesirable experiences. The purification process is not an easy one because it's all about our heart and feeling. However, there's hope if we are able to overcome this together that our love is going to be stronger and the light will be brighter.

God, please help us to go through this together as individual or husband and wife so in the end we can celebrate the victory together with Jesus' resurrection.

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 ...
