Reflection of Mt Fuji quest

Summer apparently is not the best time to see Mt Fuji as it has the lowest visibility and if we spend day trip or stay 1 night only, we call ourselves lucky when Mt Fuji shows itself.

3 Great lessons from Fuji San quest :

1. Having faith above the clouds
In our first 3 days, Fuji San is full covered with clouds, we can't see it but we believe it's there.
Similar in life, sometimes things are not going according to our plan and expectation. We thought God leave and never care for us. However, God is always there behind those "problems" watching over us.


2. Beauty is in the eyes of beholder

Instead of complaining, we should embrace the beauty of the nature. There are beautiful things surrounding us that we can't see when we focus only certain things. 

Every season and every moment has their own beauty


3. Perseverance and hard works paid off

I almost gave up and need to accept and embrace the facts that I won't be able to see Fuji San with my own eyes. However, hubby encouraged me and told me to go round to see from the other sides.
The next day before we went home, we decided to wake up at 4.30am, observing the direction of clear sky and driving there.
Our handworks paid off.
It's a quiet morning and we saw Fuji San clearly in the west lake and South west Area.
We finished our quest around 8am and it decided to close the curtain.

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...

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.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
