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.

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...
