Rest in God

Someone told me that he did not have time to read the Bible, prayed and had devotion anymore because he had so much works to do and he did not have time for it! He had very busy schedule and he got stressful at the end.
Without God, we are nothing!
It is important to have good relationship with God in any situation. Leave everything to His hands and you won't regret it! Have faith, pray for it and be consistent worker. Let God guides you to the right way.
If you feel you do not have time for God because you are too busy with your works, try to rest in God for a while. Give your little time to Jesus! Dont forget that we have God in our life! Dont let you use your own power!

Remember, He is always be there and waiting for you...... :)

Worship is in Everywhere

Two years ago I was hungry of worship. I prayed so Don Moen came to Indonesia to have worship concert and it was happened! However, the time was not great at all! I must went back to Seattle because school starts already and I was so dissapointed and upset! I asked to God, "Why when Don Moen wanna come to Indonesia, I must go back to Seattle? I really want to hear his worship! Why the time is not right?!" God said, "My daughter, you will find worship in everywhere."

Its been two years! and yes, I have found worship in everywhere...everywhere...everywhere..I went to great Christian university and met tons of great worship singers who have passion to worship God! They worship with heart and spirit! I also join choralons where we never stop enjoy God's presence and His beautiful songs. Surprisingly, God has sent me new best friends and some of them are worship singers.

Now I know what is the meaning from "YOU WILL FIND WORSHIP IN EVERYWHERE!" It is not just from famous worship singers, but from everyone! Right now, I always experience great things through music and yes Lord, worship music is in everywhere and never stop! Your songs are forever and I will sing a new happy song for you all day long....

But I still do wish that Don Moen will have live concert in Indonesia someday, but I do believe that I can enjoy worship songs from everywhere, anytime and from everyone!

Thank you Lord for the songs....Your songs have changed my life!

Relationship

Sometimes it is really hard to "wait" and sometimes you ask God "why should I wait? why not now? I think I am ready to have relationship with him/her!" but God says "not yet...not yet...wait till My time because My time is always right and you won't regret it."
I always questioning all the time about this, but God spoke to me 5 months ago about 2 things:
"Have deep relationship with Me first and let him come to you, when I am ready!"

Whoever you are, remember, you are not alone. Enjoy the love of God because it's forever. If it's His will, he/she will come to you without you look for her/him. When its His time, everything will be so wonderful. Maybe some of you just have broken heart with someone that you dated with. But remember, God has someone out there for you. someone who is better than you've ever imagined. Or maybe it's not the time yet and He wants you to have deep relationship with Him first before you go too far with someone that you love. Well..maybe you are not strong enough or something else.
Maybe some of you have failed in marriage life, but have you invited Him in any situation that you have? This is why it's important to have deep relationship with Him first before everything "too late." When you invite Him in any situation, you will have strong marriage life because God is the foundation of everything. Let your family have deep and beautiful relationship with God because when you have relationship with Him, it is not easy for the devils to ruin your marriage.

I have been in love with the wrong person, and I dont want it happened to me again. When I was in relationship with him, I didnt talk about it with God and I even didnt talk about it with my parents. I realized that it was wrong. How do you know if he/she the right person without you ask God first?
God knows your heart...God knows what kind of person that you need to live with forever. Marriage isnt temporary, its forever. This is the reason why you need to have deep relationship with God first. When you have deep relationship with Him first, it wont be easy for the devils to shake your marriage life and your relationship. Always invite Him in any situation that you have. He is our Father who wont let His children fall and He is our God who wont let the devils ruin our marriage life.

Well I am still single, why? Because I choose to have deep relationship with God first and if it's His will, I believe someday God will send me the right guy who I will marry with. AND I believe that He won't let me hurt.

PS: Have relationship with God forever and invite Him in any situation that you have. Let God guides you, protects you and saves you from any situation. Follow Him, let He walks and speaks with you anytime...Focus on Him and not anything else :)
His love is forever....

Faith, Not Fear


Faith, Not Fear - Don Moen

He is a HEALER

Last year I went to the hospital to check my blood pressure and ended up to take medication regularly. The doctor was so surprised when he knew that I had high blood pressure. Mine was 170-180...it was really high and the doctor kept saying how young I was to have this high blood pressure. I was scared and asked God why I had this problem! I asked to God, "WHY? I am 20!" I couldn't eat the food that I really wanted. I ate healthy food everyday (which is good!). The hardest thing was when I wanted to eat something and I just realized that I couldn't eat those amazing delicious and unhealthy FOOD coz of my blood pressure and fatty liver! I tried so hard not to eat those food and lost my weight. I took the medicines regularly which was hard for me at the first time. I cried, complained and angried to God "WHY WHY WHY this happens to me! when everyone are healthy why I am sick? Lord WHY! I am still 20!" I was also afraid if no one cares about me...

However, I am so thankful for having great parents, brother and best friends who always be there for me. When I was so weak, God became so strong at that time. He gave me strength not to eat those food and not to drink coffee! coffee was my morning drink, but I changed it to soy milk hazelnut....Even though it was hard for me at the first time not to eat my fav food (I LOVE FOOD), I could handle it! One of my friends introduce me with salmon! hahaha! I did not like salmon at all last time! At that time, God prepared and introduced me to healthy food like wheat, brown/red rice, delicious salad, soy milk, vegetables, salmon, fish, etc... and I realized that living healthy life is great and I choose to continue it forever! I love healthy food! thank you Jesus for delicious food! God is so good....

Its been 8 months and getting better. Last time I checked in December, the doctor smile at me and said "its great! Im happy for u! its getting better!" and I checked to nurse 2 weeks ago and she said that my blood pressure was 119 which is normal! I am so thankful for what He has done for me. I am so thankful that He sent me a great and amazing doctor before everything was too late! and I believe that He is a HEALER! (Forgive me Lord that I did not trust you at the first time)

Until now I still taking medicine and living healthy life (well sometimes my diet failed, but hey! I tried so hard lol)...But I have faith that everything is gonna be allright! I do believe that my God is a healer. He wont let His children sick and fall. Even though there are other sickness and problems in my life, I wont be fear because I know God never stops working! He has great plans for me and He prepares it from now on!
I dont know when I will stop taking medication, but even though I need to take it forever, I don't mind coz I know that medicine is a candy from God that heal me.

My friends...
dont be afraid of your sickness. Trust in Jesus because He is a Doctor and Healer!
Never stop to have faith in Jesus in your turbulence time. Enjoy the life that God has given to you and do not let the devil take it from you. you deserve what God has given to you. Be thankful and enjoy it. God has beautiful, amazing and great plans for u! so never stop to trust Him! Let you received His peace and joy.

I read this Bible verse after I checked my blood pressure last year in August.... He talked to me through this beautiful verse when I was so scared of my sickness.

Luke 8:48 "Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. "

His words made me calm at that time and I found peace...
His words is FOREVER!

Thankful

I am so thankful for everything that He has done for me.
Receive His joy and peace in your dry times.

Maybe you are feeling unpeaceful right now..
Maybe you are feeling exhausted ....
Maybe you are feeling broken...

My brothers and sisters in Christ...
STOP HAVING NEGATIVE THINKING and just keep going!
like what Justin Bieber said in his movie "Never say Never!"
and like what Dory finding Nemo said "just keep swimming keep swimming"
Do not stop!! you are not in the end zone and there's no word "end zone" in life dictionary!! but there's always have a better zone!

I know it seems so hard to continue to walk into that zone, but invite God in your life and let Him guide you.
Yesterday, I was so exhausted because of school's works. I felt like yesterday was the busiest day I have ever had in my life. Homework, study for the tests, papers, etc... I was tired, exhausted, angried, complained! I did not sleep at all last night and it was terrible! My sleeping cycle became worse...
But...God reminds me today to invite Him in any situation that I have. I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT I HAD AMAZING GOD IN MY LIFE! The devils attack us from this way!

Sometimes in life, we do not remember that we have God who can guide us in difficult and dry times.
This is what Christian about....Christian is not just a religion, but it is about having faith in Jesus in any situation!
It might seem really difficult to just continue to walk, but the fact is that...when you leave everything in His hands and let He guides you, you will be allright!

So..this morning I prayed for strength and passion. I do not want to have strength from my own power, but from Him (my Creator!). The strength that He has given to me are not just usual strength, but it is more than that! I even cant explain it by words.

I am so thankful for today. God always guides us in the way that we cannot see and it's beautiful!

My advice is...when you feel you are in the end zone, do not stop because there is always a better zone! and this zone called "His plan's zone"
invite Him in any situation...let Him guides you! trust Him! Focus on Him and not something else.
Obey Him and you won't regret it.
let you feel and taste His peace and joy that He has given to you...

Great song for you..



great words!
