First Business Trip after covid

I have been posted to a new post as sales associate and it's under Business Development Department since June 2022. It was an exciting journey, however I felt anxious and had a doubt in the middle of the journey whether I made the right decision. This was really out of my comfort zone, totally a new product and need to speed up my knowledge about the product as soon as I can.

I had no connection since I have left the workforce 12 years ago but I walked by faith relying on God's providence and daily grace.

Last week, I went to Jakarta for attending Indoagrotech event. It's a last minute decision when I got prompted during night strolling with my hubby. The prompt was like this I was asked to get the lead from the event and quickly I browsed the internet and saw the upcoming event which was one week away. After talking to my team and boss to get approval to go, I quickly booked the ticket and hotel and the ticket price was crazy but I had no choice whether we made a first step and learnt or regretted after that.

The journey was very smooth I would say, my flight was in the morning and hubby sent me to the airport.



After touching down, I went to drop my luggage to the hotel and went straight to the event and conference in Jakarta Convention Center. I met new people from new industry, listened to the conference and met my aunty and her friends who were supposed my prospect too.

After event, I went to meet my parents in law for dinner at Sate Senayan before returning back to hotel for good night rest.

The next day, I went to the gym first and had hearty breakfast before going to our Jakarta office. In the evening I met with my friends for dinner.







I departed the next day to Singapore, sent by my mom in law and she's thoughtful bring me lunch box just in case I didn't have time to have lunch in the airport as I was so busy calling and meeting. Finally I landed safely and met my family and friends again.




It's a fruitful trip as I got some potential leads along the way.

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...
