Davin Indah Love story

It's not by coincidence that God called us for attending Deeper / formation ME Weekend. He knew exactly what we need as a married couple. Even though there are no major issues in our relationship right now except my works, I found we are less connected to each other. It seems that there's thin wall between us. And the timing was just nice after our 16th years anniversary. When we came to deeper ME weekend, we didn't have any expectation since there are no major issues to be solved. Friday session went smoothly.  We wrote love letter to each other, he thanked me for what I have done in the past 4 years bringing extra money to the family. Things getting intense on Saturday afternoon as the topic went deeper, digging our iceberg that's where the issues surfaced. I told him that I feel like married AI husband, perfect husband but had no feeling.  When he asked me what he's lacking, I said only the real feeling. I wanted him to be a real human who can express his feeling...

It's a privilege to be able to serve during Inner Healing Seminar and attend the event as participants as well. I can't remember the last time I joined this event but this is like a refresher and we were so grateful that during washing feet, our family experienced healings. We forgive each other including the kids and it's really wonderful moment as family and it's the best Mother Day's gift I ever had.

Last Friday we had our first ME Love circle, we were asked to come earlier by the presenters and apparently we were chosen to be the next new batch of presenters. We need to attend deep ME weekend retreat to dig deeper about ourselves, relationship and prepare to be the presenters. It's not an easy task due to the big commitment, we need to write the presentation guided by the senior mentors, present and guide the participants and sometimes to counsel them. Well, as what we received during the ME weekend retreat, the "new adventure". Perhaps this is the "new adventure" that God has prepared for us to embark the new journey to make an impact of other people's live and to be the living testimony of God's love.

Today I served as keyboardist the recollection of KTM and PD KKIHS collaboration event with the theme Renew and Reconnect. It's a heart warming to see the familiar faces and brought back the memory 15 years ago, the good old days when both of us were very active in KTM and PD KKIHS and served there happily without bothering about all politics in the church and the organization. We attended 2 sessions today hosted by Fr. Valens and Sr. Euphrasia. The first session was about Humility. Humility is the foundation of Christian life like what St Augustine said in his quote. Humility is not thinking about ourselves less but thinking less about ourselves. And by God's grace alone we could have the spirit of humility otherwise our human nature will take control and we can become prideful. The most dangerous of pride is spiritual pride especially when we thought we are more knowledgeable and wiser than the rest.  Humility is also the virtue that reminds us everything we have in this worl...

This year, we gonna celebrating 15th years wedding anniversary and as a gift for ourselves, we decided to attend Marriage Encounter. This is our 2nd ME retreat, the first one was 10 years ago on our 5th year Wedding anniversary. Even so we haven't forgotten everything. The only take away that we remember is expressing "I feel..." and writing love letters. Before coming to ME on Friday, we were full with baggages, bitterness and resentments. We pretended that everything was well, we tried to be lovey dovey but we knew deep inside our heart, we have been hurt. Whatever we said was just critics and sarcasm which came from the root of bitterness and resentment. On Friday night, we had a long talk especially the unresolved issues. Thanks God for the solitude time and no distraction, we were able to focus to one another. We listened each other's feelings and understood the reason behind. We clarified things that we assumed, we tried to understand each other's point of v...

This year we are grateful that eventhough it's pandemic, we are able to attend online couple retreat organised by HSM Surabaya. We attended the offline CSF retreat 3 years ago at Batu, Malang. It's a memorable retreat which we had fun, totally giving ourselves to each other without any distractions while gaining more knowledge and faith to strengthen our marriage. After 3 years, we decided to join again to recharge and revive our love sparkles.  The program run for 3 days, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. It's not full day since we still need to take care our family and kids. Still, we are gaining something. Yes there are tears during our pillow talk since it's pruning time and it's not easy when you need to be out of comfort zone to be a better person. However, we are enlighten by the end of sessions and as our next project and commitment, we are going to be a cathecist for our kids bring them closer to God and nurturing their faith. Psssttt as a bonus we win photo ...
