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.

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 ...
