Yes, my final 7th post!

And today I just like to share with you, that when things do not happen what you have planned, be ready of something surprise!

This actually happened to me when I was supposed to head home straight after a long day's work but my laundry service mentioned to me that my clothes were not ready (as I have to work, so I can't really do my laundry) and I decided to do some grocery shopping instead.

(Especially to top up my instant matcha latte)

While on my way back from grocery, I spotted a sister in Christ who was cleaning up the pillars outside her shop, and I decided to greet her. From casual chats of politics (how our country is heading towards a new dawn) to sharing my testimony how God changed my life while she shared her experience too, I briefly mentioned how my pastor was praying for me on my birthday she suddenly decided to bless me a slice of a really nice chocolate indulgence cake!

But today I am not just going to talk about what I was so blessed. I would like to share with you how this sister Angelina, by faith, she has opened a shop near my office. Half of the time we do not see much business is running as the shop was rather quiet; but as long as she has opened it, coming to the 3rd year, she has managed to have just enough and now even a little extra to give back to community and tithe, all by the grace and mercy of God.

Sometimes many who believe in themselves (it is totally OK to believe in yourself) and worked their bums off could hardly survived, but her detailed and grateful testimony on how God sustained her exactly whenever she needed to break even and even with surplus tells me, there are some times you cannot just rely on your strength; in fact, there ARE some times you can no longer rely on your strength but to Him who loves and cares for us, and what that happens, you actually see everything falls into place, just at the right place and the right time.

And another surprising discovery I learned from her testimony, she is not a good cook at all. She is not some celebrity chef but whenever she allows the Mighty Hand guides her what recipe to cook, her food comes out remarkably nice and was well received by many. This is not just her take because she has a close friend who is a chef could only say this is a miracle from God the way how she prepared her food (only occasionally) and which cake to bake.
She told me she used to struggle in the hows when she started this business (by faith), but when she focused just on eternity and does her best each day, everything goes through.

(Moreover my boss just so happens to love her cakes too)

So far I have tried both cakes, one was the butter cake with pineapple (which was some time back) and this double fudge chocolate cake (this is what I am guessing). This version she is not stingy with the cacao and chocolate lovers who doesn't like too much sweetness, this is definitely the right shop to get.

Right now she only has 1 helper and her mom to run the shop and half of the time it is just baking cakes; but she also offers her place open to cake and coffee at times, which I think it is a perfect quiet place for chats and discussion.

Next time I will ask her permission and see if I can promote her place for gatherings or discussions over coffee and cakes; and if she's all right with it maybe we can have just that.

It's a non halal eatery though, so that's the only part that is stopping non Muslim to enjoy her nice cakes, but other than that, it's really quiet and elegant and I am now still amazed how she does it.

Her shop is non other than

Angelina Signature Cakes and Cafe

If anyone wants to check out the place for coffee and cakes (and perhaps meet her in person and listen to her testimonies), do let me know. If I am around in the office I will definitely try to find time and join you. haha.

At an end note, I would like to encourage those who are currently struggling in their business and wondered how they can pull through another day:

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
Psalms 34:17
