The season of planting the seeds

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die.
A time to plant, and a time to uproot.
A time to kill, and a time to heal.
A time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them.
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
A time to search, and a time to give up.
A time to keep, and a time to let go.
A time to tear, and a time to mend.
A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate.
A time for war, and a time for peace.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1–11)

These are the seasons of life that every one of us must go through. Everything in this life has an expiry date—except the love of God.

This is a personal reminder to myself, especially in this season I’m in. I was frustrated when three weeks passed and nothing seemed to bear fruit.

I started doubting myself. I judged myself harshly—I felt like a failure, like I wasn’t good enough. I even began to believe I was being punished for my past mistakes. It spiraled downward until I didn’t even recognize myself.

But thank God for my husband, who caught me before I fell deeper into that pit. He held my hand and reminded me: This is the season of planting, not the season of harvest.

It takes time. We may not know if our seeds have landed in fertile soil or on rocky ground—but we keep planting anyway.

Our role is to obey and remain consistent. The outcomes—the results—belong to God.

As long as each day we choose to do something good, something aligned with our conscience, we are planting seeds. And that means we are on the right path.

Patience is built in the waiting. Growth happens in the unseen. Every small task we complete is a step closer to the fruit we hope for.

Keep planting. Keep trusting. Your season of harvest will come.

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...
