Surrendering to God's wills : A Journey through Faith and Uncertainty

During this uncertain period, I’ve found strength in reflecting on special moments tied to significant dates. I wanted to write them down as a testament of faith, so I’ll remember them when the answers to my prayers unfold.

15 August: The Feast of the Assumption of Mary
This was the day I officially tendered my resignation, stepping into the unknown without any idea of where I would work next.

15 October: The Feast of St. Teresa of Ávila – A teacher of prayer and the spiritual journey
This marked my last day as a working mom, transitioning back to being a stay-at-home mom.

1 December: First Sunday of Advent – Hope
I began the Novena to Our Lady, seeking guidance and praying for my next work assignment, though still uncertain about what lay ahead.

9 December: The Feast of the Immaculate Conception and Second Sunday of Advent – Peace
On the final day of my novena, I messaged the CEO of a company that had promised to hire me. He replied, saying the strategic planning discussion would take place later in the week, and he would touch base with me after my return from the holidays. Before sending the message, I prayed, finding peace regardless of the outcome. I trust that everything is under God’s control.

As of now, I don’t know what the result will be. However, I’ve made peace with whatever path God chooses for me.

If it is God’s will for me to work again in His field, I trust that He will provide a role perfectly suited to my talents, gifts, and time. It will offer flexibility to spend with my family, a monetary remuneration to ease my husband’s burdens, and even support our dream of a pilgrimage to Italy.

On the other hand, if His will is for me to remain a stay-at-home mom, I trust He will give me the grace to nurture my children, support my husband, learn new skills, and write inspiring articles or content. I believe He will also provide financially for our family and our pilgrimage plans.

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 ...

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that  I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat...
