Broken vase

 

This is what I feel right now. Everything was going well in the past week and suddenly the beautiful vase was broken apart. I even didn't know how to describe the feeling. 

Hurt, upset, pity, mercy are mixed together. Sometimes I am just wondering if we can turn the back time again, what could be ?

Lord, what's going on ? I have been putting myself together despite the brokenness.

Lord, I really need you most, to give me strength and grace and heal my broken heart.

Please help me to understand my hubby's heart and mind too. I really don't know who is right and wrong, I am just feeling confused right now.

Oh Lord, You are the one united us since the beginning and we are running out the wine. Please replenish our wine of love. The true love.

It's all started on Friday night when hubby showed me a talk from of of pastors about marriage affairs. I didn't think much at first but thing was getting intense when I probed him further and finally he confessed that when I was in Jakarta, he felt the vibes starting coming back when he had long chat with that woman and when he saw that sermon video, he felt that God has reminded and warned him that's why he had courage to tell me what's happening.

Did my heart break ? yes of course

Did I hate him ? definitely no

Did I want to help him to get out from this situation ? Yes, absolutely

But things have gone sour and too far from what I expected.

I asked him how's his prayer life ? he told me that his prayer life has been in motion, all the prayers are just muscles memory without any meaning.

I asked him, did you read the daily reading ? he said no, because he told me it doesn't matter and he doesn't feel any effect.

I told him to read the bible everyday because it's like eating supplement / vitamin, we may not feel it right away the impact but when the storms happen, Holy Spirit will remind us through the words of God.

This is my fault that I told him that he's now chasing more worldly things like very cautious about his image, physical appearance and sometimes instruct me to wear something that I am not comfortable because it's too open.

That's where the fight broke. He told me that he's hurt because of what I said. 

I was like.....WTH.....yes, I did pass unfair judgement without considering his feelings. My point is that I just want him to come back to the Father.

Because I know that once we are off from the tree, we will think, act and behave like human. It's easier to get emotional, hurt, revenge, self right etc.

I am not always right everytime, but I know for sure that I have peace in my heart despite the hurt inflicted to me.

In the end, I decided to go for a walk since I couldn't sleep anyway. I walked to West Coast Park, sitting down there watching for sunrise then coming back home.


I tried to calm down and reflect what has gone wrong.

I tried to remember how we met for the first time, what make me fall in love with him, what has changed in the past 14 years, what are my wishes etc.

I went back home, taught the kids chinese and had lunch with our god daughter and kids' godparents at Marche.

After that I fell a sleep and able to sleep for 3 hours plus. Then we had make up love.

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 ...
