being with each other... me & you...

haloo semuanyaaa =)
how are you all doing this past holidays?
mesti smuanyaa berpisah.. ada yg d indo, singapore, amrik.. tp i believe kita smua masih remember each other & Jesus of course .. hehe
aku sendiri d indo lg seneng2 nihhh.. tiap hari kerjanya jalan2, les chinese + keyboard (my new toy heehee), chatting, ntn drama... n menyempatkan diri utk refreshing (sebenranya selaluu sihh hehe)

More than I realize,,,
Things change everyday... whether we like it or not...
sebentar lagi, i may get a new roommate, coz rere mau pindah ke riverside T____T hiks!!!!
sedihhh..seddiihhh...
well ya, tadi I was reading my comic book..
eittt.. n dun think that reading comic thu ga berguna, coz I learn some things from this particular book, very important things about life indeed.
komiknya sih tentang friendships & love life nya anak SMP gituu...
n a bit extreme gituu character anak2nyaa, tp i think yaaa. mgkn itu emang gambaran asli nya humans yaa, hmm.. tepatnya teman2 di sekitar kita.
ada yang juteeeekkk bangeeettt (tapi sbnrnya mrk thu org yg kesepian & perlu perhatian), ada yg kaleemm & cinta damai jg (tp kalo marahh garangg..) hahaha.. trs ada juga anak yg pendiem, rajin bljr & slalu turut mamanya (who knows nyatanya dia itu benci mamanya & have desire to kill people).. and the main character of this book is a very playful, lively, smart & positive girll.... (tp ternyata she has had a terrible past.. karna dia anak yatim piatu gitu yang diangkat mamanya) and.. ternyata dia gitu2 jg sbnrnya di hati nya bnyk kesedihan... Interesting ya, that we, a creation of God, bisa have such contrasting personalities at the same time.. and tetapi ujung2nya, all these characters are striving to be happy.

well, what I mean is that..
there is a reason behind everything, including how people behave. Justifically speaking, their behaviors are attributed by how they are/were treated by people and how their lives are/have been. semuanyaa thu ada reason nyaa.. n what I learnt from it is that, if we want to just take a step forward and understand org surrounding kt yg mgkn always been misunderstood or krg menyenangkan sikapnya & give them some LOOOOVEEEEE.. (dengan nada keren! hahaha) pasti thuuu kt bisa akhirnya ngeliat kebaikan nya org lain itu...
the comic book also pictures how we each need others (God, friends, family) , all it takes is one person to change one's character & life loohh..
dan aku bersyukur when I feel that the world has turned its back on me, God is always there =D and alangkah baiknyaa yaaa, if i can only pass on the same warmth & love to one of those people who needs them ehehehehehe
dan sbnrnya Tuhan juga menciptakan kita sbagai creation yang perlu live & grow in a community, not just by ourselves. even though we think that it is sometimes safer to close ourselves, tp sapa tauu kita bisa lebih when we are open with each other yaaa hehehe

Personally speaking, ini smua I think kind of what God wants me to learn kalii yaaa..
berhubung I always get those verses about "loving others", "having the right heart for God", "to become a caring church" kaya daah more than 5 times kaliii pas aku buka daily bread... hahahahahahahahhahaa.
I know that aku perlu kasih Tuhan utk mengasihi org lain, tp prakteknya ga gampang yaaa.. hehe butuh waktu + extra patience yaaa hehehe.
Looking back, I think I kinda regret the times I could have been better with a friend or just a stranger, yet I chose not to be (sengaja ato ga sengaja).. hauhauhauahuaa.. =( kacaww yaa.
and jujur ajaa.. aku salut sih ama the main character in the comic yg despite her young age, belajar ngertiin org bit by bit, and still loves all of them at the end of each painfull process. hehehe
tp aku seneng that I come to realize at this point, the real point behind loving each other gituu..
sebenarnya itu smua will make us a complete person!!
well.. it's never too late to changee, karna God will make everything beautiful in His time yess!!

As it is said,

"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,
but also for the interests of others"
Phil 2:4

"love one another"
1 John 4:7

Let's do just that & start from the closest person around u! =)
God bless youuu all.
P.S. judul komiknya: Kodocha Child's Play

Thank you for the encouraging words rick :)

Memang susah untuk memahami rencana Tuhan bagi kita but as Joel Osteen said, God wants the best for you. You may think you're having your best moments now, but God wants to better those moments through His ways that we may not understand.

However, stay in hope, faith and love always!

Stay on fire for God always! Remember when we are weak, His strength will carry us through our troubles!

Amen!

A Wonderful Explanation

Kadang kita bertanya dlm hati & menyalahkan
Tuhan, 'apa yg telah saya lakukan sampai
saya harus mengalami ini semua?' atau 'kenapa
Tuhan membiarkan ini semua terjadi pada saya?'

....... Here is a wonderful explanation ......

Seorang anak memberitahu ibunya kalau segala
sesuatu tidak berjalan seperti yang dia harapkan.
Dia mendapatkan nilai jelek dalam raport, putus dengan
pacarnya, dan sahabat terbaiknya pindah ke luar kota.

Saat itu ibunya sedang membuat kue, dan
menawarkan apakah anaknya mau mencicipinya,
'dengan senang hati' dia berkata:
'Tentu saja, I love your cake.'
'Nih, cicipi mentega ini,' kata Ibunya menawarkan.

'Yaiks,' ujar anaknya.
'Bagaimana dgn telur mentah?'
'You're kidding me, Mom.'
'Mau coba tepung terigu atau baking soda?'
'Mom, semua itu menjijikkan.'

Lalu Ibunya menjawab, 'ya, semua itu memang
kelihatannya tidak enak jika dilihat satu per
satu. Tapi jika dicampur jadi satu melalui satu
proses yang benar, akan menjadi kue yang enak.'
Tuhan bekerja dengan cara yang sama. Seringkali
kita bertanya kenapa Dia membiarkan kita melalui
masa-masa yang sulit dan tidak menyenangkan.
Tapi Tuhan tahu jika Dia membiarkan semuanya
terjadi satu per satu sesuai dengan rancanganNya,
segala sesuatunya akan menjadi sempurna tepat
pada waktuNya. Kita hanya perlu percaya proses
ini diperlukan untuk menyempurnakan hidup kita.

Tuhan teramat sangat mencintai kita. 

Dia mengirimkan bunga setiap musim semi, sinar

matahari setiap pagi. Setiap saat kita ingin
bicara, Dia akan mendengarkan. Dia ada setiap
saat kita membutuhkanNya, Dia ada di setiap
tempat, dan Dia memilih untuk berdiam di hati kita.

If you love God..

HI friends,

post ini jg sedikit mengarahh ke erick pny post.. hehehe aku br aja masukkk n was surprised to see his post. and also that it was kinda the answer to my prayers this past week. =D
hmmm... sometimes emang bener aku sendiri masih terkadang maless saat teduh, malahan milih nonton online, or read comics.. and I choose to leave our God who has been so ever faithful =(

tp td pagi. I was doing some light bible reading.. heehee.. trs juga baca "our daily bread".. n as sometimes, I would just flip it open n see what's in it for me todayy..
and ternyata it was really the answer to my prayers.. yg berisi ttg gmn caranya untuk keep doing the work that lay ahead of me.. especially untuk caring for the souls of people yg telah Tuhan percayakan kpd grj/FA.. ini sempet bikin aku pusing sihh for a week.. it keeps bugging me and tugging at my heart gituu n buat aku perasaanya ga damai.. hehehe

Baca dhe John 21: 15-17, ceritanya ttg when Jesus asked Peter whether He loved Jesus three consecutive times.
In John 21: 17, it says: "Do you love Me?... feed My sheep." Why... instead of asking Peter if he loved His sheep,does Jesus asked whether Peter loved Him?
It says that the questions was asked "to underscore the essential truth that only love for Christ would sustain Peter in the work that lay ahead -- that arduous, demanding work of caring for people's souls -- perhaps the hardest work of all."

What I learned from this particular excerpt is that "affection for God's people in itself will not sustain us." because kadang we will meet with situations that will leave us discouraged, or even devastated. But, the love of Christ is "the only sufficient motivation that will enable us to stay the course, to continue to feed the flock of God."

So kalo hari2 ini you are like me, somehow feel discouraged in guiding people to Christ,
just come back to our for Him ajaaa, spt yg Erick & Eva bilang... hehehe.
karena if we love Christ, His love will flow through us, and it will compel us to be able to love others.

Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Holidays

hey all! the holidays are here for some of you (including me) and I hope
that you are enjoying it! Hope that all of you have your programs for the holidays
all planned out hehehe

I hope that all of us here can make full use of our holidays. Expand on the talents that
God has put in you; since most of us here is into music, I urge that all of us can make
use of this holiday to learn some new skills and techniques for whatever instrument you
play. If you'd like, you could even try out other instruments!

The talents that God has put in us is limitless and what matters most is your
willingness to develop them. Never think that you can't do something before you even
try it because you will only be condemning yourself to mediocrity, which is not what the
Lord wants of you. If things start to become more difficult, persevere! The fruits that you
receive at the end are worth it.

Make full use of your free time people!

24 hours in a day; 8 for sleeping, another 16 for expanding your talents, and 24 to always
praise God for His goodness that we may not comprehend.

God bless you all!
