Today I started the day with doubt... with worry... with tiredness... and with question...
"Am I really capable to do this?"
"Am I that strong?"
"It's so tiring... can I handle this?"
Today I ended the day with hope... with joy... with a refreshed mind... and with answers...
I saw the broken hearted healed...
I saw tears was shed... replaced by smile... and even laughter...
I had a meaningful conversation...
I've been blessed by one person and have been a blessing to another...
It is AMAZING how HE works!

Last Two Week
Woaa.... recharge!!!
So happy that today I could have a daybed for two hours!!! ^o^ It is truly a privilege, especially after days of lack of sleep.
Long time I haven't update my blog.
3 months ago I started to write journals on a book, that's why I blog less. Yea... I'm a conservative, I prefer writing rather than typing.
Anyway... What happened in this last two weeks?
-Have been writing summaries of the books I read: "Ajar Kami Bertumbuh" by Billy Kristanto, and "Let Me be a Woman" by Elisabeth Elliot (luv them both! so deep yet practical!). Lots of new thing to learn, and trying hard to live what I read >.<
-Have been going out with people that I have never gone out with before
-Have been listening to BBC radio (always luv British accent! And I did it also to neutralise the Singlish. Haha..)
-Bought a new handphone. Why? Coz I'm so 'clever'. I kept my HP in my jacket, and washed the jacket! (put it in the washing machine). When I realised, it's been to late... So sad! I luv my Nokia 6020... so simple... so black... so durable... so convenient to use... and the most unforgettable feature is... its endurance! It still worked eventhough it's been falling on the floor for more than 15 times! *I had a habit of putting my HP on my bed. And sometimes when I woke up in the morning I would found it lie on the floor :p*
-Had a new colleague coming on board (a Filipino guy)
-BBQ at East Coast on May Day and stayed at Lilis' house the night before (had seafood, laughed at Tim Hawkins funny video :D, and talked about our life now)
-Cherishing the last moment of my "New Testament Survey" by DR. Griffith *this coming Monday would be my last class* :'( SO SAD! I luv his lecture. Luv the reading materials. Luv his testimonies in each of the class he taught. Coming to each of his lecture always make me realize: My GOD is a living GOD, HIS Word truly lives in HIS people's lives.
And yes, I luv my life. Busy... somehow tiring... but meaningful.
Like the prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola I read from EE's book today:
"Teach us, Good Lord,
To Serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen."

An update after so long...
It's a nice weekend for several reason:
1. Good Friday & Easter! ^o^
2. Long weekend! And I finally had 7-8 hours sleep! Hah... feel so good!
3. For the first time in couple of months that I went for a movie & eat sushi together with friends
4. For the first time in my life I curl my hair! Hahahaha!
Long time no update my blog... been occupied by work, courses, and Easter preparation >.<
I'm grateful for the last couple of months for the fact that I was given time to dig deep to God's Word (through personal quiet times on Ecclesiastes, through Prayer Meeting & Bible Expository, through semon on Saturday Fellowship, through Sunday Service). Really... the more I dig deep... the more I feel scary as well as blessed.
Why scary? Karena gua jadi ngerasa betapa kotornya diri gua. Dosa2 di dalam pikiran... dosa2 yang ga keliatan... ketidakpedulian... motivasi2 yang ga bener...
Ternyata gua udah banyak banget mengakumulasi sampah dalam pikiran gua. Menyedihkan... karena somehow gua selalu ngerasa kalo hidup gua itu bae2 aja. Gua ga ngelakuin hal2 yang ngerugiin orang laen, hubungan gua sama orang laen juga bae2 aja, pokoknya lancar2 aja lah... Tapi ternyata semuanya itu cuma ilusi. Gua membohongi diri gua sendiri.
Ternyata gua punya kebiasaan untuk mengkompromi hal2 yang (menurut gua) "kecil dan ga penting", padahal itu bisa dipake orang buat ngejatuhin gua. Gua lupa kalo standar Tuhan adalah sempurna..
Daniel 6:4 "At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent."
Ternyata masih ada orang yang "secara ga sadar" belon gua ampuni dan lupakan kesalahannya...
Akhir2 ini gua dipertemukan kembali dengan orang itu. Dan gua diajar lagi buat mendoakan orang yang ga bisa gua lupain kesalahannya itu. Lega... :)
Ternyata gua belum bersyukur sepenuhnya dan belom pake bener2 kesempatan yang ada buat menimba banyak ilmu di negeri singa ini. Harus bisa memeras abis apa yang bisa gua peras di sini :p Honestly... I'm struggling with my Japanese course. Udah mulai ada kanji nih... susah banget! Udah mo nyerah sebenernya... udah ga mo lanjutin... ketinggalan banyak...
Tapi... di saat gua mo bolos kelas... di saat gua ga mau lanjutin ke term selanjutnya... entah kenapa gua dituntun "secara paksa" untuk lanjutin ke term selanjutnya... Sampe sekarang gua masih bertanya2 kenapa gua bisa disuruh nerusin kursus ini... In a process to understand HIM...
Sebenernya masih banyak banget yang gua pelajari akhir2 ini... tapi hal2 di atas adalah hal yang utama.
And why blessed? Of course, karena gua bisa sedikit demi sedikit bisa menyapu habis kotoran yang selama ini gua tumpuk di bawah karpet!
Gua percaya masih banyak banget kotoran... dan masih terus expect kuasa-Nya buat terus mengorek luka2 gua yang tedalam untuk disembuhkan, dan menyelami bagian tergelap dalam hati gua untuk menelan kegelapan itu dengan terang.
Work in me, Lord! I'm ready! :)

Judgment Day
Just wanna share with you a sermon I heard at Sunday Service last week about judgment day. It left me with a question,"How responsible have I been with my life?"
My good friend who's going to the same church with me has allowed me to provide link to her blog *very lazy Ita :p* You could read the summarize of the sermon here. Thanks to Lilis! :)
