Davin Indah Love story

Yesterday, I reached a point where I felt completely overwhelmed. I told God honestly, “I’m tired.” Tired of trying to be a good and obedient girl while my work problems remain unsolved. My business has no customers right now, which means no revenue. Yet the expenses keep coming — warehouse costs, the car, and other commitments. The waiting and uncertainty are exhausting. I’ve been praying day and night. Attending weekday Mass. Completing the 54-day novena. Praying to St. Joseph. And still… nothing seems to change. In my frustration, I even told God that it felt pointless to keep being obedient and faithful if everything stayed the same. But this morning, something gentle happened. While doing cardio at the gym, I was watching YouTube, and a video from Rick Warren about the  six tests from God  appeared. I clicked on it. Somehow it felt like God knew exactly what was going on in my heart. The video led me to  Hebrews 11 , the chapter about faith. And slowly, my doubts sta...

Yesterday, I watched the movie  Risen . It tells the story of a Roman tribune who was tasked with investigating the missing body of Jesus after the crucifixion. During his search, he eventually encounters the risen Christ himself. One scene stayed with me. When they were sitting quietly together, Jesus asked him a simple question: “What do you seek?” That question echoed in my heart. What do I seek? I began to realize that part of my restlessness may come from not knowing the answer to that question. There are moments when I feel like something is missing, as if what I have is somehow not enough. Yet deep inside, I know that it’s not because I am ungrateful. I am very aware of how blessed I am. I have a loving husband, healthy and growing children, a peaceful family life, and a home that is fully paid. Over the years, we have even had opportunities to travel and experience many beautiful places together. But if that is the case,  why do I still feel restless sometimes? When I ...

This week has felt like a spiritual roller coaster for me. There were moments when I felt lifted up, full of positive energy and hope. But there were also moments when I felt very low, overwhelmed by negative thoughts and confusion. It feels like a spiritual battle happening inside my heart. On one side, I feel deeply grateful for everything I already have. I am blessed with good health, a loving husband, kind and mature children, and a harmonious family. We have a roof over our heads and a car that serves our daily needs—even though it will expire in two months. Yet on the other side, I sometimes feel restless and inadequate, as if I am not contributing enough financially to our household. My business has been slowing down as we approach summer. I am uncertain about the demand for winter rentals in June and July for destinations like Australia and New Zealand, since their winters are milder compared to places like Japan or Northern Europe. Another concern on my mind is our storage spa...

Two weeks ago, our family watched  True Spirit  on  Netflix . The movie deeply resonated with me—not just as a story of courage, but as a reflection of the entrepreneurial journey. A Short Synopsis of  True Spirit The Mission Driven by a lifelong dream, 16-year-old  Jessica Watson  attempts to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around the globe. The Challenges Even before the journey begins, she faces intense public scrutiny after colliding with a cargo ship during a trial run. Once at sea, she endures massive storms, deep isolation, and dangerous equipment failures—including a terrifying knockdown that leaves her briefly unconscious. The Support The film highlights the important role of her family and her coach,  Ben Bryant , who helps guide her through both psychological and physical challenges from afar. The Outcome Despite critics questioning her maturity and ability, Jessica completes her 210-day journey and returns to Australia to a hero’s welco...

Finally, I have time to write this journal again. The business has quieted down now that the winter season has ended and spring has begun. On top of that, the war that broke out in Iran has caused many flight disruptions, especially for Middle Eastern carriers. Many flights have been cancelled, affecting tourists around the world who are in transit. Once again, ordinary people’s lives are disrupted by events far beyond their control. As things slow down, it gives me time to pause, rethink my strategy, redirect my life, and recharge my spirituality. Last night I felt completely overwhelmed. Our car’s COE is expiring at the end of May, and we are facing a dilemma: should we extend the COE for another five years or rent a car first before eventually buying a new one? We do not want the car to become a liability. Yet at the same time, I need a car to support my tuition work and my business. After much careful consideration and prayer, I decided to apply to become a private hire driver. It ...
