Count Your Blessings

In recent weeks, I’ve been feeling down, struggling with self-doubt and questioning my worth. Sharing my feelings with my husband has been a comfort; he’s been my angel, reminding me to count my blessings.

As I reflect on the past, I recognize these blessings in my life:

  1. Good Health
    One of my first goals after resigning was to focus on my health. With the stress and high cortisol levels from the past months behind me, I now have the chance to heal. I can exercise at my own pace, and my body fat is decreasing without the need for a formal weight loss program or strict dieting.

  2. Quality Time
    Being at home more has positively impacted my children. They are more obedient, have a better attitude toward their studies, and their appetites have increased. They feel happy and secure with me around. My husband also benefits, feeling more focused on his career knowing that I’m taking care of the home and kids.

  3. Self-Reflection
    In the past, with the demands of work and travel, I rarely had time for self-reflection or writing. Now, I have the opportunity to slow down, pause, and reflect on daily life, allowing me to see and embrace God’s work more clearly.

  4. A New Chinese Tutor
    Through a Telegram group chat, I found a new Chinese tutor for my children. He connects well with them and teaches differently than their previous tutor. Plus, his fee is half of what we were paying before.

  5. A Trusted Helper
    Our helper, who has been with us for nearly two years, has been invaluable. She’s trustworthy, loves our kids, and has become an integral part of our family. Without her, managing quality time with my family would be much more challenging.

  6. Homeownership
    By God’s grace, we’ve been able to fully pay off our house and are now official homeowners, not home loaners. This alleviates financial stress for at least the next two years.

  7. Friends and Family
    I’m grateful for the good health of both our parents. My sister has even sponsored a trip for my parents to Lourdes, which has been a heartfelt answer to my prayers. I hope my dad will consider baptism after their return.

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 ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
