It has been such a long time since I’ve pen anything down. I was just too engrossed in being present taking in everything in photos and capturing them dialogues in memory. I forgot what it’s like to have them in writing.

Got home as soon as I can to kiss the boys off to Ayden’s first Soccer training this year. It was pouring heavily an hour before and I’m so thankful that the sun decided to come up!

Feeling so good that I have the house to myself before I’m off to my Monday Night class! Here I am in bed, enjoying the still and quiet. And then I realised that my mind is so loud. That it hurts.

It hurts because I’m constantly thinking about this and that. Overthinking it all. Overworrying. Replaying all over and over again. I’m tired.

I’m really tired.

Do not overtake someone on the right lane and go slower than the speed limit. Just stay on the left.

As I lay here in bed, (in our Coleman tent that we finally used a year later!) and hearing the waves crashing against the shore, the stress and tension of this worldly life slowly fades away.

It’s has only been 5 days into 2023. But the past two weeks has been quite stressful with workload. I’ve been having such bad migraines. I think this camping trip was much needed. Time to reset and reconnect to nature, sometimes I feel the need to stay/be grounded.

I’ve always dreamt of owning a beach house, so that I can pray and sleep whilst listening to the crashing waves. Oh how therapeutic! A retirement plan I hope in the making.

A group of friends were kind enough to invite us to join them on their camping trip. I don’t think we’ll ever discover this awesome place at Seaspray if not for them. Camping lots are generous, the facilities are well maintained and being across the beach is a bonus!

Our last day of camp, Anne managed to whip up some good old gado gado which is awesome! Ayden had so much fun camping with his peers for the first time our of his current social circle. Glad he is settling well too.

Till our next camping trip!

Good and bad days exist in this journey called life. One day you feel broken, the next day you feel whole. It’s all part of the Almighty’s Plan. It’s teaching us to lay complete trust in Him. Remember, we walk by faith. He will not allow us to break, He will carry us through!

Whatever it is you’re going through, remember you don’t have all the answers to your trials. The Almighty does. Your job is to bear patience and manage the situation the best way you can. Let Him handle the rest. You need to trust Him. He is your Protector and your Healer!

Things didn’t work out because you were under the Almighty’s Divine Protection. Understand His Plan. Yet half the time we pine for what’s over and gone and refuse to accept that He did it in our best interest. He always does.
