Go for a "mission"

As I mentioned in my 40th birthday reflection that 40 is a new 20 where God gives me a second chance to live my life in the fullest by using all my gifts and talents to be fruitful and become blessings for others.

Indeed, on my annual performance review, I was prompted to write self assessment and proposed myself to be transferred into different department which is business development.

I was in sales and marketing in my whole career life however I never felt that I had achieve success. I always felt that I was a failure because I never made a big sales. That's why I want to make another attempt to prove myself that I could do it.

I was born with entrepreneur spirit, I love learning new things, create something, solve the problems but I lack of perseverance.

Thus, I challenge myself to do the best I could for this company.

It's not an easy journey, there were times that I was down especially when I have planted a lot of seeds and nothing happen. But there were good times too where I got positive responses from prospects.

Despite all those external challenges, I feel so grateful that many people supporting me. My hubby believes in me and cheers me up even though he doesn't understand the business.

My team mates support and back me up when I don't understand or stuck during presentation to the clients and most importantly the CEO who is a servant leader and doesn't mind to get dirty hands.

The journey is still long and not sure when the seeds will start sprouting but I will keep doing what I could do. And these verse reminds me and become my daily strength.

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...
