The more we praise Him, the more peaceful we are. Praising Him is a powerful weapon to get rid our problems. When we keep praising Him, we find love, hope and peace. I wrote this song for my Father in the Heaven....

Believe

2012-01-31T19:49:00.000-08:00

I still cannot see the big picture yet

I still cannot see how small the problem is actually

I still cannot see how to believe

Complicated

weird

and unreal

I missed it

Wish I could go back at that time

Wish I did it

I dont know if its too late

I dont know if its just a test

I dont know anything

No words can say

No words can explain

No words can tell

Its better to be quiet

put His words instead my words

praise Him and be thankful

I wish....

I hope...

I pray...

Its hard to believe

but I try

and I choose to BELIEVE

I choose....

2012-01-31T19:45:00.001-08:00

So many things weird things happened this week. Just heard bad news from home and I felt like my heart stopped for 1 second. I cant believe about whats going on right now and I dont know what it happens. God gave me vision and confirmation, but weird thing happened. It is such a big challenge for me. I still dont know is it just a test or what...I dont know. I cannot expect too much, but I try and choose to BELIEVE!

What I see right now everything is so complicated and non sense. but, if its not His will and plans, He will change the story and much better.

My God is not a confusing Author and I believe the time is coming... what I need to do is just believe...I try and I choose to believe....

I still cannot believe that I will be done with undergraduate study in 3 months.....3 months! can you believe it? The hardest part is that I will leave Seattle soon. I am sure it will be really hard to leave NU and Seattle in May. I had the best moment and met most wonderful people in my life. They are just such an ahmayzing friends. I dont know how will I feel when I leave this place, but I will try so hard to think that it is time to move to the next level of life. Well..I dont want to think about it right now. What I wanna do is that I just wanna enjoy this 3 months as "undergraduate student"

The most exciting about 2012 is that I will have an opportunity to go to London for a year to study in Fashion Business. Well, the application still in process. If this plan is God's will, I believe that everything goes well. We'll see whats gonna be happen! I am nervous and so excited at the same time.

2012 will be such an memorable and amazing year! I dont know whats gonna be happen, but I do believe God has a great plan! From my work in the future, mission, soulmate, friendship, etc. I'll keep trusting Him until I arrive in promise land. I will try not to worry too much!

I am so thankful and I cannot stop saying "Thank YOU Jesus" all the time. 2011 was not an easy year, but it was a very blessed year too!

I am excited about what gonna be happen 2012! I am excited to experience amazing journey with Him.

I closed the old year and welcome the new year!

The Beauty of God...

2012-01-16T04:14:00.000-08:00

Some of you knowing me really well, but I have never told anyone about my story when I was 20. I think it is time for me to share my story to you. I had a problem worrying about my appearance. I did not do it in healthy way and ended up bad. I could not focus in class, I almost fainted and got headache all the time. I tried so hard to lose my weight and be "skinny" like what people said. I also worried about being "ugly" I was not confident at all and someone told me if I wanted to be beautiful I must made my eyes bigger. It was the scariest thing in my life to do eye surgeon! I have never done it before and I was totally scared. I was thinking about doing it because I was worried of being ugly and no one wanted me. I ended up worried about life and myself. I felt no one understand and accept me.

I still remember I was sitting in my room and told God "Lord, why You made me like this? I am not beautiful, I am scared about future, I am....." But my Father, who really knows me well and accept me for who I am told me "seek the Beauty of God first before you think about your appearance." This simple answer changes me Forever!

After a year, I chose to be ME and not someone else. I chose to be happy and do it in HEALTHY WAY! Now I know the meaning of "BEAUTIFUL" Because of His GRACE, I have found the Beauty of GOD and His BEAUTY appears on me.

God made us uniquely and everyone is beautiful in His eyes.

Seek the beauty of God first, before we focus and wanna change our appearance

Very unexpected opportunity come for next year. I am so excited!!!! praying for it and I will let you know if/when everything set up! woah woah!!!

Is this gonna be my next level of life after graduation??

The Taxi Driver

2011-11-26T23:42:00.001-08:00

arrived in the apartment parking lot...

Taxi Driver: "Maam I am sorry did I gave you the card already?"

lady: "u havent given it to me!"

taxi driver: "did you see it under the chair?"

lady: "no" (with angry face)

the taxi driver look for the debit card and scared if he couldnt find it

lady: "did u find the card?"

taxi driver: "not yet maam...not yet"

the taxi driver still looked for it...

taxi driver: "I wont get paid if I cannot find it"

lady: "well...I need my card too!"

taxi driver: "yes maam. I am sorry"

after 10 minutes....

taxi driver: "oh I found it! I am so sorry...I am so scared if I dont get paid"

The taxi driver was scared if he couldnt find the lady's card he wont get paid and most probably the taxi's boss wouldnt let him to work anymore.

God spoke to her that the taxi driver really needed the money for his family. He needs to work really hard to find money to spend holiday with his family for Christmas.

God reminded her how blessed her life is and let she shares the blessings to others. She regretted whatever she said and acted to the taxi driver.

The last word that she said to the taxi driver "have a good night and merry Christmas...God bless you and your family"

The taxi driver: "Thank you maam. Have a wonderful Christmas too."

They wont meet each other anymore, but the lady pray so he will have wonderful time with his family for Christmas....

Learn for today...

We are so blessed, but dont forget to share it with others. Receive the blessings from God and be blessed...

We dont need to share only money, but we can also share HAPPINESS and JOY!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.....

When I do not know what to do...

2011-11-05T00:46:00.000-07:00

Lord,

I don’t know what to do

I am confused

Feeling tension on my shoulder’s muscle

I dunno how to handle these people

Lord,

I don’t know what to do

I don’t have words to say

I even cant do anything

Lord,

What can I do is just pray

And making a song with only 2 words,

HELP ME.

I don’t know what to do

Lord,

I do believe that everything will be allright

Don’t let myself overconfident

Its all Yours

And its all in Your hands.

I do believe…

even though I donno what to do

You provide

You help

You will take care of it

Thanks Dad..

I still dunno what should I do

What to do..

Dad, please help me

I trust You

Dry Season

2011-10-11T16:57:00.001-07:00

This past 4 months has been really challenging to me. I had been through a personally challenging time where I did not feel peace. Yesterday my heart was hurt and I could not handle it. I felt hurt and empty. I have not felt this way for a long time, but the Holy Spirit gave me a power to pray last night. I almost fall asleep, but someone woke me up and there was a whisper that said, "My daughter, lets talk!" Even when I lost my words to say, God lifted me up. Lord spoke to me clearly from Psalm 23.

God is my strength in any situation. He has healed my broken heart and spirit that I experienced this 4 months. The joy comes in the morning. I feel new and my spirit is on fire again. This afternoon, I was walking through windy, cold and rainy day from class to apartment. When I was walking, God spoke to me "Even though there is a challenging season, you will be back home safely as long you keep walking and trust Me. You will be allright."

Life as Christian is not always easy, there will be challenging and dry season. If I say, being Christian is always easy, so I dont say the truth. BUT the truth is that I can be strong as a Christian because God who gives me this strength. God has put me in the community that I really need during college age. The community that encourage me to carry His calls and community that show love to others. I am thankful that God put me in school where they dont just teach about success, academic, but also in spiritual way and this is what I really need the most. BUT, I cannot always stay in this level, there is a time where I need to move into the next level and the higher level is, the harder its gonna be. God has prepared us to go to the next level, the level where we will find exciting and new things. Keep focus on Him. He is faithful and never fails. Let God lead you to the promise land.

PS: I am feeling that someone praying for me now. I am feeling so encouraged. Whoever you are, thank you. Lord,bless whoever this person is.

Happy Tuesday :-)

God's Calling

2011-10-05T08:24:00.000-07:00

Sometimes God wants us to do something that impossible to make it and sometimes it doesnt make any sense. I don't know about your experiences, but I had some experiences where God wanted me to do something and be honest, I said "NO!" at the first time. However, because of the power of Holy Spirit, my heart said "YES!"

Most of the time we say NO to God because our own desire, but when you say "YES" to God, you will feel supernatural feeling where you know that you make best decision in your life. Decision is a choice. You want to carry His calls and move on to better way or ignore His calls and move to "whatever" or "what I want" life.

It is really hard to say "YES!" to Him because non-sense plans. BUT, have you realized that once you follow Him, once you carry His calls, once you say YES to His commands, the Holy Spirit gives you a power and the answer "YES" means everything. One words called "YES" to God is forever and not temporary.

God has promised us into a beautiful life and promise land. On our way to promise land, we must follow His commands. In between, we do have hard times. This is the reason why FAITH is really important in our life. Dont let "dry life" come to your life. Let your spirit always on FIRE and not dry spirit.

Enjoy the journey that God has given to you. Walk with God is the best journey we have ever experienced in our life. Create our future with God and not just create future with ourselves. Follow His commands and do not give up on Him.

Lets have journey together to promise land by follow His commands and carry His calling.

When we say YES to Him, we will never regret it.

Thankful

2011-09-22T13:18:00.000-07:00

My brain and body are very exhausted and tired right now. There are lotsa things to do that I must finish soon. I am taking 19 credits this semester and most of the classes are psychology senior classes. Sounds not fun at all, especially when you have class straight from morning to late afternoon. I must admit that I AM TIRED!

BUT! My heart is thankful and grateful! My brain and body can be tired and exhausted but my heart will never stop saying thank you to God who gives this amazing opportunity. When I am tired I always think how blessed I am for having an opportunity to have education in America and being in amazing school with bunch of great friends!

Sometimes when we are tired, we don't remember how blessed we are. Have you realized how lucky we are for having unique experience and opportunity that not many people have it?
When we are tired, we start to complain and it stop us to receive the blessings that God wants to give those to us.
We must be thankful in any situation and stop complaining. When we complain, we dont get anything and give disadvantages for ourselves.

It is hard to be thankful when we are in the situation where we dont feel comfortable, but lets we learn to be thankful not just in good situation but in ANY SITUATION.

"When we say thanks to God with all our heart, you will find your heart filling up with life and light" - Joyce Meyer from Battlefield of the Mind

"God doesn't call you to be a tired person, but He calls you to be a can do person" - Joel Osteen devotion book Your Best Life Now.

"Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fult in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky" - Philippians 2: 14-15

Lets we learn to be thankful and be rest in God. Put God first in your life, so the Holy Spirit work in you.

God bless and happy Thursday

Focus

2011-09-19T02:07:00.000-07:00

Have you ever experienced when you are in very hard situation where you are stuck and cannot go anywhere?

Have you ever experienced when you dont know where to go and confused to choose between 2 ways?

We are a human and human can be wrong. Let God speak to you today. Listen to His gentle whisper and don't leave or ignore Him by our own desire. Sometimes we complain why God never give an answer and talk to us, but the truth is that He always speaks to us in many ways. We cannot listen to His gentle whisper because we think too much about our plans and we are too busy.

Spend your little time to God. He is waiting for you. Dont ignore His gentle whisper.

Keep your focus on God and don't let the idiots ruin your mind! Ask God for PEACE AND JOY and HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU. It's a gift and use the gift of God properly.

Let God remind you if you are wrong...

God bless

The Beauty of a Relationship with God

2011-08-09T07:25:00.000-07:00

Have you ever felt that God is so far away from you?

Have you ever confused about relationship with your friends, even with your close friends?

Have you ever..... (fill your problems)

This summer holiday I have learned a lot about the real relationship with God. Have you ever felt so close with God? How do you feel? Isn't it so beautiful? Even it is more beautiful than anything

Tthe relationship with God is always solve everything. When I don't know what to do, when I dont know what to say, when I dont know how I feel, when my heart is so heavy, my heart always call my Father. Even when I dont know what to say first word to God, He knows. He knows my heart and that night He said "my daughter, lets talk" I closed my eyes and I started my deep conversation with God.

Never ignore our relationship with God :)

When you have a problem, you cannot sleep with it, dont forget that we have a Father who wait for us to talk! Have deep conversation with Him. Don't let ourselves lose because of the situation that we have! Have a deep relationship with God and experience the beauty of a relationship between God and ourselves. When we have relationship with God and trust Him fully....The problems will be solved.

Finally....I am HOME!
I am so in love with Indonesia...so rich with cultures and beautiful music.
Oh colorful Indonesia, why you are so exotic?
so excited and thankful! God is great huh? HE IS!

2011-04-20T01:08:00.000-07:00

I Love You

There is a girl in the corner

With tear and hurt feeling that she can't hide

She can't erase her memories from the past

She feels embarrassed and unloved

She cannot see the color of life

And cries where nobody sees

She tries to believe

But she is too weak to try

She prays that night

'God what love really means?

Could you send someone,

Someone who love me for who I am?

Then she heard a voice from deep inside her heart

And it said, 'My daughter, I love you for who you are

You are loved by your Creator and are never alone

I always be here no matter what

I love you for who you are

You are loved by your Creator and are never alone

I always be here for you

No matter what....

I will give you the love,

The love that you never knew,

The love that more than beautiful,

And the love that more than words...

by: me

2011-04-20T00:23:00.000-07:00

I LOVE YOU...

When you are down...

2011-04-17T03:39:00.000-07:00

My mood has been up and down this week because so many things weird things happened to me. Sometimes I feel so down, but God never stops working in my life! When I am down, He becomes stronger! He gives me strength through songs and words!

He is good all the time...yes, God is so good! He won't let His children fall!

His words and songs never get old...

..........

2011-04-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

If you have an experience about feeling scared about the future, you are not alone! I also have the same feeling as you.

I am graduating next year with my Bachelor Art Degree with Cultural Psychology major. Most of my friends asked me already about what am I doing after graduation?

well..I know what Im gonna do after graduation. Im feeling confident about it, but at the same time this feelings called "nervous" and "scared" always on my mind. People talk about bad things about it, especially when someone that you closes with talked about how hard to be in that part of job! I know that she talked about the right thing and I do need to see the true life in business world. On the other hand, it just hard for me to accept it!

Before I became a college student, I had so many dreams that I wanted to achieve. It seemed so easy for me to reach all of them. Just like a person who still see the mountain from far away. It seemed so beautiful and easy to climb.

However, Im in Junior year right now and everything that I thought it would be easy, it's not. Im scared, Im nervous, Im confused...Can I click with the people that I work with? Can I be a leader? Am I strong enough to lead them? How if I ruined everything and make people upset?

So many negative thinking on my mind right now. It's really hard to say "YES I CAN DO IT! IM POSITIVE WITH IT! I CAN DO IT" I wish I could be a kid again where I did not think too much about it and everything seems so easy to do. I really miss the moment when I was a kid and had so many dreams (I used want to be a doctor) HAHAHAHA! :p

I am scared about the future, but I am strong because of God. My future is in God's hands and I believe He is always be there, works in my life and guides me! He won't let me fall.... I have faith in Him and I will walk not just only by my sight, but I will walk with faith. God has given to me this gift...A gift to be strong and I wont let the devil take it from me.

So do you....

Believe in God and obey His calls....and you won't regret it!

I dont know whats going on after I graduate and step into business world, but what I know right now is that... I dont need to be scared because God walks with me. He holds my hands step by step.

My friends....If you scared about the future, dont let the devils make it worse. Your dreams, your visions and your goals are in God's hands! dont let the world bring you down...but have faith in God ;-) and...

LET'S WE CREATE OUR FUTURE WITH GOD

PS: whoever you are...if you read my blog..please pray for me....So I can be strong.... :-) thank you

Rest in God

2011-03-31T01:27:00.000-07:00

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

2011-03-29T23:42:00.000-07:00

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

2011-03-26T00:33:00.000-07:00

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....

He is a HEALER

2011-03-12T12:00:00.001-08:00

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!

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!

Dear February...

2011-02-18T22:23:00.001-08:00

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

God's love is not statistic

He loves you for who you are,

and His love is more than words....

God is good

2011-01-31T23:48:00.000-08:00

Maybe some of you are not in fire right now.

"I am weak right now"

"I feel so dumb!"

"Why I cannot be like her/him?"

"Why it happened to me?"

"Why I am feeling so bad mood lately?"

"Why I cannot find that joy and peace in mind?"

"Why I am sick?"

"I am fat and ugly!"

"I am not special at all"

"I am alone"

"I am feeling homesick!"

"everyone rejected me"

"I am so guilty!"

"I am scared"

"I am so busy and I dont have time to have devotion"

and....what else? you can put your complain words next!

people.... if you always complain all the time, you won't be move!

If you always talking and hearing about negative things with the wrong person or not with encouraging people, HOW you can step the next level?

guys...you are not alone, it also happened to me all the time. BUT, thats how the devil attacking you! The devil always wants to bring you down through feeling, people, and etc! The devil will never stop attack you from various ways and from your weakness! Maybe most of you also doing ministry, but why it still happened and sometimes it become worse? well... when you are in fire, thats the time where devils attack you! so guys...guard your heart by God's words, prayers and being with encouraging people and believers. Talk with the right person. Pray to God and ask Him for help!

remember guys..we are just a human..very weak human. This is the reason why we need God in our life.

Dont let the devils keep attacking you! but let God speak to you! Invite God in our life. Let you rebuke the devils by the name of God and by His grace. God is not a joke friend who always gives you joke words and leave you with no reason! He is a God, Father and BEST Friend! He is always there and always be with you no matter what!

Let you find that peace, love and joy through Jesus. When you pursue God first, He will send you great friends without you look for them. He will send you great social life (encouraging people and believers). Our God is so good and His love is more than words. He wont let His children fall.

Dont let people and everything around you bring you down! keep hang in and have great conversation with God.

-Give some of your time to God. have devotion, talk to Him and worship Him. Even though you are so busy, give your little time to God.

-Never feel you are ugly! no one ugly in this world! it's just your feeling!

-YOU ARE SO SPECIAL! Remember, God gives each of us amazing, gifted and unique talents!

-When you feel alone, never forget that God always there with you. You cannot see HIM, but you can always feel HIS PRESENCE! Ask God for friends and He will send you a great friends!

-Dont feel down when you are weak and when your friends leave you. God wont leave you! Speak to Him!

-Dont be scared. God always be with you.

-When you feel so guilty, talk to the Lord. dont listen what people say, but listen God's words. His words are always encouraging. He is a Father who loves His children more than words. You are being saved because of Jesus and He has saved you and love you. He gave His life to save you..

Maybe some of us are keep complaining about what happened these days.. but remember, dont let the devils bring you down! dont let jealously and negative thinking always surround you.

Let God renew our spirit daily.

"When everybody else is down and defeated, when you are all alone with nobody nearby to encourage you, simply encourage yourself! Your attitude should be: It doesnt matter what anybody else does or doesnt do, Im going to live my life with enthusiasm. Im going to stay ON FIRE. Im going to be aglow. Im going to be passionate about seeing my dreams come to pass." -Joel Osteen

"Friend, if you want to see God's favor, do everything with your whole heart...God will take you places you've never dreamed of and you will be having your best life now"- Joel Osteen

When there's storm in our life..Have faith and trust God!

As Christians, we believe in God and sometimes hardly trusting God. The question is...

-Are you really 100% trust God and His plans?

-Are you ready to go to the next level?

-Do you believe in Him?

-Have you invited Jesus in every situation?

If not, pray to God. Have deep conversation with Him. He never sleep and tired hearing your prayers. Trust Him and invite Him in any situation that you have. God knows more than yourself. Let God breath in your life.

Bible verse of the day: Psalm 23

God bless you :)

2010-12-17T12:47:00.000-08:00

I am sure some of you have heard about this amazing product called LA MER! I just can't live without it! I am 21 and my skin is combination, so it's oily in t-zone, but dry in cheek area. I have tried tons of products, but no one works well! I even went to the doctor, but the medicine that he gave it to me did not work as well!

One day my friend talked about good things about LA MER! so I decided to try it out!

I bought the cleansing gel and the moisturizing lotion... I used these products for like around 5 months already and I LOVE it! My skin glow and healthier than before. It's expensive but totally WORTH IT! really! It works pretty well on my T zone too! The moisturizer that I pick is not that creamy and rich like the Creme De Lamer one and I think it's the best for my skin.

Two weeks ago I had facial and the esthetician told me that LA MER IS JUST FOR OLD WOMEN AND IT'S NOT TRUE! this product can be for everyone and any ages! Just pick the right one for your skin and you'll see how amazing this product!

I don't know for your skin, but this product work really well for me...you should try it!

PS: I use the gel cleaner and the moisturizer every morning (1 pump moisturizer) and night (1.5 pumps moisturizer) regularly + I also using ORIGINS for my acne treatment at night and it works well.

Also, I use this in Indonesia because the weather is warmer! trust me, it's totally great for combination skin!

21

2010-12-08T00:14:00.000-08:00

Thank you, Lord for life and 21! You have changed me become a person that I am today. I am excited to continue my journey with You and I am so ready for it...

I still cant believe that actually I am 21 right now! wow... When I was 16 years old, I was wondering what I would be in 21! I asked my self:

"am I gonna be in college?"

"am I gonna be in state for university or australia?"

"am I gonna have boyfriend at that time?"

"or married with someone? WOAH! no way!"

"am I gonna work?"

and...

"what I am gonna do?"

well...

- yes, I am in college..

- yes I am in state

- no not yet! still looking haha! I am so picky! well it doesnt meant Im looking for the perfect one, Im looking for someone who has same faith, goals and missions as me (hopefully). and yes, I am so picky! I pray so God pick a guy for me because He knows the best! and I pray when God ready, He will send me a great guy and he will come to me first.

- no not yet haha! need to find someone first

- work? emm kinda?

- what I am gonna do? HERE I AM! I am a hard working student, best friends and loving sister and daughter!

I am excited about what happened in my future! but I do believe everything gonna be better and better.

God is a loving Father who wont let His children fall! if His children fall, He will raise them up again.

and I do excited to continue my journey with Him!

He has changed me become a person who can enjoy life, thankful with everything and He changed me into a better person that I am today.

When I was 16,

it was not easy for me to smile..and happy!

but God changed everything! I pray so when I smile, I smile with all my heart.. when I am happy, I bring light to people, when I am sad, there's always someone who bright me again! I am thankful for life! He has sent me great and loving friends that I have never imagined before. friends who I can call "FAMILY IN CHRIST"

Thank you Lord for life and 21! I have a feeling that its gonna be a great year!

with love,

Elvina

I love Indonesia

2010-12-05T01:48:00.000-08:00

THE MORE you TALK ABOUT INDONESIA, THE MORE I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

I used to hate my home country before, then I moved to State just because I am getting bored living in Indonesia. Well..traffic jam, hot weather, annoying people, etc...it was not enjoyable AT ALL!

well...wait! it was in the past!

I do not know why but now..I AM IN LOVE WITH INDONESIA! the warm weather, the sunlight, friendly people, crazy traffic jam in Jakarta, the thunderstrom, the view, the beach in Bali, my family, best friends..OH HOW I MISS IT SO MUCH! the culture, the sounds of nature, the songs, the dances, the color, the food, the smell of Batik! how can I forget these things? Don't you know that Indonesia is such a great and the most beautiful and enchanting country ever??! oh and THE MALLS IN JAKARTA? oh come on! they are AWESOME!

well.. I am proud to say that I was born and grew in Indonesia and I AM INDONESIAN!

People that I met in State always talk about Indonesia, about missionaries, about how they love Indonesia so much, and about how beautiful Indonesia is. well...it doesnt meant I love Indonesia just because of them, but the more people around me talk about Indonesia, the more I am in love with it and I really meant it. This is a place where I belong.

I went back to indonesia last summer and it was great! it was the first time where I felt....I even do not know how to say... I felt in love! I came back to my 2nd hometown, Seattle! and I dont know why but theres something missing! Seattle is a great place to live! but Indonesia still always in my heart! I belong to Indonesia...Solo, Jakarta, Bandung and Bali are my favorite places in Indonesia! well Solo is my hometown and I spend more time in Jakarta and I love both cities! those places are my 1st HOME!

I am planning for going back to Indonesia after I graduate.

- will it be easy? (we'll see)

- will I miss Seattle? (of course! and maybe I will visit once year? haha)

- but...if I get bored, will I leave INDONESIA? (NO! Indonesia is my homie and this is the place where I belong...my homie where I was born and grew and my homie where I can spend my time with family, best friends and childhood friends!)

and I am going back to Indonesia for Christmas break and I am so EXCITED! 12 days till going back home! yayy

I miss Indonesia... If I have a choice right now, I just really want to graduate as soon as possible and going back to Indonesia...

I dont like Indonesia anymore, but I AM IN LOVE WITH INDONESIA!

love and like have a huge different meaning...

I like Indonesia

I love Indonesia

you see the differences?

well I love INDONESIA!

I LOVE BEING IN INDONESIA

but wait still 1.5 years...May 2012..remember that! haha.. :) I dont know how I feel after I graduate..woah! I think I'll have this feeling called "MIXED FEELING" you know what I meant by mixed feeling huh? lol.

God loves Indonesia so much! God bless Indonesia and wont let His creation fall. He is the Creator of Heaven and earth! Thank you Jesus to let me enjoy Your creation.

PS:

AKU CINTA INDONESIA

DEPRESSION!

2010-11-02T11:12:00.001-07:00

Depression is such a BIG topic for us. There are thousands depressed people out there. In fact, Im sure at least one of our friends has this problem...DEPRESSION!

Depression can be happened because of stress, non happy life, wrong social life, etc...

Depression can make someone want to kill themselves and feel lonely. Besides that, it make someone to be a negative thinker!

Have you ever watched TO SAVE A LIFE? it's a movie that u must watch! we never know what happened to depression people. After I watched the movie, I feel like I need to make a move! not only me, but us! we need to show love in deeper way to people, especially for them who feel lonely, stress, etc... We never know what's going on in their life. Change them into a person who have hope and show them that they are not ALONE!

So, last week in chapel, the pastor college talked about depression! and i think its an important topic for all of us!

This is the summarize that I wrote from his sermon...

What you should do when u get depression?

- recognize that depression steals life and HOPE!

HOW TO GET RID OF IT?

- Focus your mind on good times in the past

- Choose to praise the Lord in the middle of your problem (Psalm 143: 6)

- Ask for God's help (Psalm 143:&)

- Listen to the Lord (Psalm 143:8)

* God loves you (1 John 4: 9-10)

* God has all power

* God is faithful

* God is JOY

- Pray for deliverence (Psalm 143:9)

- SEEK GOD AND FOLLOW HIM!

by: Pastor Phil Northwest University Kirkland,wa

I think this message is not for only Northwest University students, but for all of us! This is why we need God in our life! Seek Him when you have problems! talk to someone who you can trust! (parents, best friend, sister, brother, cousins, pastor, etc....) and do not keep it by your self!

go with the right social life and change the way you think! (from negative to positive thinker)

God bless you :)

When you leave anything to God

2010-10-18T17:01:00.000-07:00

This is my prayer in the desert..

"Lord, I am so stressful! everything are so hard and not enjoyable to me! I hate everything everything! I am so stressful..I need Your help! I leave anything to You Lord..I just wanna work consistent and I will leave the rest in Your hand. I trust You Lord......................"

and, HE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS...

He is a loving Father who always brings light in the darkness. How awesome our Father is? and He is Jesus..our God! He saved my life! not only my life, but your life and our life too! everything become so enjoyable, amazing and fun this week! I dont know how it works, but God who makes everything works! He who makes everything from stressful week to the most enjoyable week!

Everyday is always new and it's a gift! so REJOICE! be REJOICE in the Lord and sing a new song everyday! Dance and sing a thousand mile just for Him!

This is what you get when you leave everything to His hand! be consistent still, and leave everything to Him..Trust Him and have FAITH! pray about it! you won't regret!!

PS: are you so stressful today?have you leave everything to His hand? now, leave everything that make you worried to Him...you won't be regret! He will answer your prayer at the right time and He won't leave you..He never leave you...just wait and have faith.

Thou, Oh Lord

2010-09-27T16:41:00.000-07:00

Today, I learned this song from Choralons and this song has deep and meaningful lyrics. My heart has been touched from this song. I just cant stop singing this songs for Him. This is the reason why I cannot stop saying how beautiful His words, His songs and His love. His words is more than meaningful, His songs is more than beautiful and His love is more than words.

I just cant wait till next rehearsal! gonna sing this song again with my Choralons family!

Thou, Oh Lord

Many are they increased that troubled me
Many are they that rise up against me
Many there be which say of my soul
There is no helpe for him in God

But thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head

I cried unto the Lord with my voice
And he heard me out of His holy hill
I laid me down and slept and awaked
For the Lord sustained, for he sustained me

Thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head

Jesus is my Best Friend

2010-09-26T23:37:00.000-07:00

"Jesus is my best friend and He send me a good friends."

"When you pursue Him first, you'll find great friends without looking for them."

'God send a friend where each of us can complete each others and a friend who bring joy."

"I am a princess because I have Daddy in Heaven and He is the King!"

- We need to know God more and it is important for us to write our life experience with him in our journal book. As Christians, sometimes we read the Bible and pray more, but how about life experience with Him?

This is the reason why we need to write our faith and life experience in our journal, so we won't forget the moments that we have. Our own story can remind us of relationship between us and God.

- We need to trust Jesus and have faith. He is a not joke friend and He wont leave us! HIS LOVE IS NOT STATISTIC! however, His love is more than WORDS and more than BEAUTIFUL!

- Even though we cannot see Him, but we can always feel His presence. He always there with us and for us when we are happy and sad.

- He is a good listener! He is not just a friend, but He is more than BEST FRIEND. He is our Dad from Heaven and we are His children and He wont let us fall. Sometimes theres a moment when we ask "God where are You? I need You right now! "

dont u know that He is there already with you?

He is always be with you and always there for you! His presence is like a wind, you cannot see it, but you can always feel it!

- He is a healer friend. He heal you sickness and heal your broken heart! and He knows us before we know Him. He knows and understand our deep heart! what happened to us and hows our feeling. He knows everything because He is our CREATOR and He wants us to know Him as God, best friend and parent!

How lucky we know and have God like Him!

He always touch your heart with love.

He is our Daddy in Heaven. He won't let His children fall! you and I deserve His love and blessings..

Bible Verse to read: Psalm 13: 1-6

This week...

2010-09-14T21:28:00.000-07:00

"there are always fun things to do.."

yes, I am part of Choralons now...I dont have that golden voice, but God has opened this opportunity. I am ready to serve Him and sing it out loud just for Him. Amazingly, when I start to sing, my voice can be so high. I still do not know where that voice come from, that voice only come when I worship Him with all my heart..the voice from my HEART and it's all because of Him. There are 124 students who join Choralons and they have passion for it. The best group I have ever joined in my life. We practice the songs and worship Him at the same time.

(His songs are more than beautiful)

(the latest CD of NU choralons...I will be on it for the next cd! )

And this is what happened when we get bored after study...

as usual....

and I cant wait to sleep....

good night.....

I just cant wait to start a new day tomorrow...

I miss her so much..

2010-09-14T11:29:00.000-07:00

"there's a time to say hello, but there's always a time to say goodbye..how if you say goodbye and I say hello?"

there's always a time where I really need to be around her...

Last night I dreamt I went to Regal theater and Cheesecake Factory with my best friend, Cindy! When I woke up I just released that it just a "dream." She has moved to Savannah which is so far away from Seattle. I do miss my friend, Cindy so much! weekend in Seattle is not that fun without her. I went to her apartment every weekend just because I really wanted to meet her and shared interesting stories and went to interesting places. However, everything is a bit change right now. Well..I still have friends..good and close friends..but..something just missing without her. She is not just a friend, but she is a sister, my movie buddy and best friend. Thank you Cindy to give me the best year in Seattle... Luckily, we are still in the same country plus we come from the same country and city! but if you read this, I just want you to let you know that I do really miss you and weekend in Seattle isnt that fun without u! You such an amazing friend! I love you friend..

:)

2010-09-09T23:30:00.000-07:00

God spoke to me last night

"daughter, I'd love to open the opportunities for you because you want to serve Me with all your heart."

How I love my Daddy Jesus so much! He always gives me such a beautiful and inspiration words!

but its not just for me, but God wants to speak with all of you too!

so guys..

"when you want to serve Jesus with all your heart, He will open the opportunities for you and there is always a purpose why He open that opportunity."

God is so good... and His love is more than words :)

serve Him with all your heart...

I need YOU

2010-09-06T06:52:00.001-07:00

I look around

I see joy, beautiful and love surround me

There is no darkness anymore

Because it happened already

And what makes everything new is Jesus!

I need You, Lord in my life!

You make me new

You have changed me

You have cleaned my sin white as snow

I am in the right and better hands now

Life is so enjoyable when God let direct every steps of my life

This is why I need You, Lord to be part of my life.

Life is so precious when I know God in my life.

How Beautiful

2010-09-06T06:51:00.001-07:00

I see the moon and the stars in the darkness.

I am so amazed in the light of the stars and the moon smile at me

I am amazed the colors of the morning

I see the power both in the morning and night.

The sun bright the days and the moon give light to the dark.

The earth worship You

All your creation are so colorfull

I feel like I want to dance and sing all the time

To enjoy how beautiful Your creation is

I cannot stop thinking how beautiful my Creator is.

The Creator of earth, Jesus.

Thank you Lord to let us enjoy Your creation.

Life with God

2010-09-06T06:50:00.000-07:00

Why I was born here?

Why life cannot be changed?

I cannot see the color of life

I cannot see the light

Where is that hope?

Where should I go?

No direction and no hope

There’s always a purpose why I am here

God’s purpose that bring me here

Here I am with my knee down

I just want to worship You

Obey and carry Your call

Life is so precious when I know You Lord

There is always light in the darkness

There is always joy inside tears

There is always hope inside hopeless

There is always peace in thunderstorm and rain

And there is happiness feeling that more than words

I need You, Lord to be part of my life.

The best moment that I have is the moment when I know You as my Lord.

Life is so enjoyable with You, Lord

Walking with You is the best journey I have ever had in my life.

I AM HERE

2010-09-06T06:48:00.000-07:00

Sitting in my chair

In empty room

With hurt feeling

I cannot handle these problems

The darkness, sadness and emptiness inside my heart

Being alone and tears of sadness

I just cannot handle it.

I asked “Where are You God?”

With tears and my knee down

There was no love

There was no light

There was no joy

And God said, I am here with you.

You cannot see Me,

But you can always feel My presence

And here I am with you

And I always be here for you

I wont leave you

Because I love you more than words

And I will always love you..

Lord,

Thank you for Your love

The tears of sadness have been changed into the tears of joy and happiness.

This is why I love being in college

Summer loving

2010-08-25T01:42:00.000-07:00

"hows your summer? my summer is full with love...I called it summer loving"

till the end of summer, why time goes so fast?
i still cannot leave this mood called "holiday mood"

SUMMER IS OVER.

I did travel a lot this summer...I went to Solo, Jakarta, Bandung (a lot!), Bali, Tawangmangu, Singapore New York, Boston and here finally, back to Seattle and prepare for school. I love to spend my time with my family and friends in Indonesia. Each cities have its own uniqueness.

I still cant believe that actually Im gonna start school on Monday. I am so excited to meet new people and learn something new.
I believe that God doing great things this fall semester! I will learn more about something new that I have never learned before.
I still do not know about what happened this semester, but I know that I'll learn something exciting and something ...something and something... maybe there is gonna be tears, but tears of joy!

I still remember last year, I asked God "Lord, why You want me to be in Bible college?" and He answered. "I want you to learn something from here."
after a year, I realized that... "Yes Lord, I learned a lot from here..from this place! and people around me"

A few days ago 2 my friends talked about missionary in Indonesia and I am so amazed with God's works! I think it is the most amazing story that I have ever heard in my life. Being missionary isnt easy, but with heart, passion and faith, missionary can be the best and the most wonderful experience we have ever had.

I have never done it before, but I will do it someday. I pray so God gonna give me strength and I want to serve Him and people with love in deeper way. yes, someday, I will do it at the right time and with team who want to serve Jesus and love people in deeper way.

I am so excited about what God wants to do in my life. I still cannot see it, but I always dream about it...its not just a dream, but its more than dream and someday, it will be happened.

tomorrow my parents and 2 my friends are going back to Indonesia again! I am so gonna miss them so much! and see you in December....

hello fall semester!

I heart everything here

2010-08-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

10 more days till going back to State and I just realized that I havent taken any pictures in Indonesia yet! I need to bring my camera tomorrow and take random pictures. yes?

so, just came back from Bandungland. the weather in Bandung always remind me of SEATTLE in spring! the rain also remind me of Seattle's rain! hola Seattle, I cant wait till I come back!!! but Im gonna miss Indonesia. really! my heart always belong here. I think Im gonna feel "bittersweet" . Even my country isnt perfect, but Indonesia still the most beautiful place on Earth! the place where I was born and grew, especially Solo.

I am so gonna miss everything here in Indonesia..memories with friends, family, puppies (ye rite)! and etc...
I love everything here..I will come back again soon!

I miss everything in Solo...

2010-07-13T07:23:00.000-07:00

So, I went back to Solo from Saturday until today and I had so much fun with my best friend! I still cant believe that actually I really miss being back home where I can meet my childhood friends and cousins. Beside that, I do enjoy being in Solo more than Jakarta. I went to Solo alone and I really enjoyed everything! I even couldnt remember when I felt so in hurry, sad and dissapointed. This is what I did: had deep conversation, laughed a lot, had fun and enjoyed everything!
The reason why I love being back to Solo:
- I have the most wonderful friend in the world

see you Solo, I will see you again soon..yes soon...
I just had the most relaxing weekend so far in Indonesia... 3 days with full of laugh <3

I wanna go home

2010-07-13T07:05:00.000-07:00

sometimes you wanna going back home just because u wanna spend your time with your family, best friends and the one that you love the most

Love people in deeper way

2010-06-26T06:04:00.000-07:00

"Love is not just a feeling, love is an action too!"

Three months ago I went to PF Chang seattle with my friend Cindy. We had so much fun and ate good food! However, we ordered too much food then we couldnt finish it. I was planning to box it and threw the food somewhere because I did not need it for the next day and I wouldnt eat it because I was gonna eat somewhere else.
When I almost threw the food, the homeless guy asked me "miss, can I have the food?"
I was kinda scared at the first time. I almost said "no" because I was thinking if I gave him the food, he wanted it more. On the other hand, there was a voice from my heart said "give it to him. its better if u give the food to him than if u throw it up.. because there's someone who need it" I was so surprised when that little voice spoke from heart. After I gave it to him, he said "thank you miss..thank you so much!"
God is so good...God loves people in deeper way, include this homeless guy. God just touched my heart at that night and He said to me "love people in deeper way"
From this experience, I realized that "love is not just a feeling, but love is an action too!"

You are beautiful, my Lord

2010-06-24T08:37:00.001-07:00

I see the moon and the stars in the darkness. I am so amazed in the light of the stars and the moon smile at me :) I am amazed the colors of the morning and the light of the day just bright my days. I see the power both in the morning and night. The sun bright the days and the moon give light to the dark. I cannot stop thinking how beautiful my God is! The creator of the earth. When I look up to the sky, I say "You are beautiful."

I love you more and more summer..I dont really care about how hot you are, but I love you! 3 months holiday always give me big smile...

So I am so excited about what happened tomorrow! I always excited to start a new day! I feel like I wanna say thank you to Jesus all the time about what He has given to me every time. I feel like I wanna worship Him every time because I am kinda hungry of worship. Its pretty hard for me not to have 3 times chapel per week and pursuit on Monday. I am kinda miss worship Him, listen to His words and spend my time with God every night. But thank God! He sent me beautiful friends here in Jakarta and they such a great friends who love Jesus! and there's always time for me to worship Him, listen to His words and spend my time with Him. I love Indonesia more and more. God has changed everything here in Indonesia, especially my social life.

Anna, my beautiful friend from Seattle just sent me an email! God's words always more than beautiful! God just answered my prayers from her email. I feel like God just talked to me from her. I am glad having a friend like her in Northwest University. I really cannot wait to meet her again in August! I am kinda miss NU friends because they are not just a friend, but they are my little family.
I do miss them <3

and I am glad for having a wonderful friend here in Indonesia. God is so good! I cannot stop to say He is good because God is good all the time.

My summer is pretty good so far. I am so excited about what happened tomorrow and what God wanna do in my life. Its pretty clear that my heart always in Indonesia. (well but Seattle still my 2nd home!) haha...

I love my life! thank you Jesus for wonderful days that You have given to me. thank you to let me love, bring light and joy to people. Let me be a light to all my friends and family.

2010-06-04T09:02:00.000-07:00

such a good song

I need to spend more time with God

2010-06-04T08:25:00.000-07:00

Hello I am in Singapore right now!
So, this is what happened an hour ago,
I was not happy about it! first, the weather was darn hot, second, it was the most crowded place in the worlddd! omge! but yes, I do excited to meet my bestie in Singapore, Elvina tomorrow and I am happy for my bro who has graduated from high school. I thought today was not a good day like usual. I got tired, angried and complained easily! What I wanted to do was just get out from Singapore! I felt like I was not belong here at all! What a waste time to spend my time here! well.. thats what I thought an hour ago..
However, I just realized that it is not all about Singapore. It is not all about how hot the weather and how crowded the places are..it is all about my time with God. I havent spent my time with God these days. Its been 3 weeks that I didnt listen to the worship songs, read the Bible and listen to His words. I really miss it! I miss having 3 times chapel a week at NU and pursuit on monday night and el camino on sunday. My life is not complete at all without God. This is the reason why I felt like I wanted to cry all the time, got tired easily, complained all the time and angried every single of time. I feel something missing in my life and God reminded me just now that I need to spend more time with Him.
Tonight, I wanna spend my time with my Daddy in Heaven. There is nothing better than spend my time with my God, listen to His songs and read His words. I just wanna let you know, when you feel close with God, everything become so beautiful. When I see the moon, stars and city lights from my room, I just realized that how beautiful God's creation is. He just touched my heart tonight.
His love is more than words
His songs is more than beautiful
and His words is more than amazing!
I think I need to spend more time with Him, especially before I sleep.
Thank you Jesus for everything that You have given to me. I am excited to see what happened next because every moment have its own memory that I cannot forget.

Finally...

lovelovelove

Here I am!

2010-05-01T21:35:00.000-07:00

Before I came to Northwest University, I was wondering why God wanted me to go to NU instead my top choice university? I was planning to go to another private university, but I have never finished my application! There was always something missing or problems that made me confused! how weird huh? Two years ago, my apartment mate, Joyce, told me that I should visit Northwest! I have never heard about this university before because I am not from Washington area. I am from INDONESIA..not even America..but I was wondering why Joyce always told me to visit Northwest allll the time? I was in community college at that time. The reason why I went to community college because I was waiting for my university's top choice to accept me, but it never happened. After a year, I have decided to visit NU. When I visit NU, there was something different that I could not find in any universities. I prayed to God about it and I applied to NU! everything goes sooo well and easier than I thought. I wanted my Pastor and Christian friend (Sylvie) to fill the references. and yay! I got accepted!!! I still prayed about it again because my Dad is really strict about university. I told my parents that I am going to Christian University and they allow me to go there!! :) When my dad visit NU, I was kinda scared if he gonna complained about the university. I prayed to God, "God, if NU the right college for me, let my dad say something good about it." and one thing that my dad said for the first time, "wow..it is beautiful and so green!" I was surprised!

It's been a year... I am in Sophmore year at Northwest University now. My journey at NU was the best journey I have ever had in my life. I learn more about Bible..(until now!) and my Bible classes are hard, but I learn a lot from the classes. I have met the most wonderful professors and friends! I have joined amazing crews! I cannot imagine if I am in my top choice university right now, I wont have this amazing adventure, I wont meet those wonderful people and there is a possibility where I cannot have those opportunities. I am so glad that God put me here. I know when I come to NU, its not just "university" where you learn academic things! but NU is the place where I can learn something from God! I have learned a lot from here!especially about missionary. I have learned something from academics and experiences. Chapel and Pursuit are my fav!

Thank you Jesus to put me in the right place. The place where I can talk about You and worship You whenever I wanted.

I want to carry Your call :) and I will obey You..

it's been a year at NU..yes, it is.. <3

PS: Carry the Call!

Create our Future with God

2010-05-01T21:14:00.001-07:00

I still remember when I was a kid, someone asked me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always said "I wanna be a doctor!" or "I want to continue my parent's company!" or "I want to be a teacher!" How easy to answer those questions when I was a kid. I wish I can give that kind answers again, like a kid who still see the mountain from far away. However, everything is not same like before. It's really hard to climb this mountain! and I even do not know which mountain should I climb...
Last week, someone asked me "so.. what do you want to do after you graduate from college?"
I answered.."I do not know."
"Continue your dad's company?"
me: "emm..we'll see.."

it is really hard to say "OF COURSE!" because I have other plans..

but.. I trust my God. I want to create my future with God and climb the right mountain until top! I want to reach it until top! wow..it's not gonna be easy, but I'll keep trying until I reach it and I want to see how beautiful God's creation from the top of mountain is.
I do not know what should I do after I graduate, but I have a dream (at least hehe) and my dream is not just a dream, but it is more than dream! a dream where I want to serve God and people with love and joy.

Create our future with God guys.. because with God, you'll find the most amazing journey!

New Year Resolutions

2010-05-01T16:27:00.000-07:00

How come it is May already? How come time goes so fast?
I still remember what I did in my New Year eve 2010. I spent my time with the most wonderful people in the world..my FAMILY. I could see how God changed everything! It was the best New Year I have ever had in my life. It was full with joy, love and laughs. I always pray about it, especially before I come back to Indonesia. Last year, I did not want to come back to Indonesia (my home) because I was tired with everything. It was include family and social life. I prayed to God that I wanted to stay in Seattle to stay away from Indonesia for a while. Loneliness, angriness and tears on my New Year 2009.
but.. God is so good..1 January 2010 at 12 AM, God showed me that there is always joy inside tears and there's something beautiful inside the storm. Everything are so different right now! Don't know you know that last week was the first time I said to all my friends "I miss Indonesia!" from deep deep of my heart?.. I have never missed Indonesia before, but I can say it now.. "I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss everything in Indonesia, include the food!" I cannot wait to come back to Indonesia for summer!

and yes, it was my New Year resolution 2009! and it happened now! One of my New Year resolution 2009 was "I believe God will change everything when I come back to Indonesia! I want happiness for my New Year eve and spend time with my family with joy, love and laugh!" I wrote this down on my piece of paper with tears and put it on my Bible..
but yes, it happened now... this is what happened when I trust to God fully.
God always gives you what you need and not what you want.

I was never said "I love you" to my parents and brother, but .. it is so easy to say "hey..I love you guys!" from my heart right now! (this is also one of my New Year resolution 2009).

So.. this is my New Year Resolution 2010:
- I want to learn how to pray from God
- Bring light to people
- Speak about His LOVE and His amazing words
- Be more consistent to read the Bible
- Serve God and people with love
- Keep praying for some of her family and friends who still not believe in God fully.
- Better GPA for college
- Go to psychology department
- NU Choralons for fall semester
- Save more money :p (hehe..)
- Europe trip
- Indonesia for summer
- Mr. Right? :p

:)
how about yours? I am excited to walk with my God! Create my future with my God is going to be the most amazing journey I have ever had.

Making the Cut

2010-05-01T16:23:00.000-07:00

Every year, high school seniors apply to their fav universities and then watch the mailbox for the letter announcing their acceptance.
It was different for teens in New Testament times. Jewish boys would often attend rabbinical schools until age 13. Then only the best would be chosen to "follow" the local rabbi. This small, select group of disciples would go where he went and eat what he ate -modeling their lives after the rabbi. Those who didnt make the cut would pick up a trade like carpentry, sheep herding or fishing.
Guys like Simon, Andrew, James and John hadnt made the cut. So instead of following the local rabbi, they were down by the docks, knee deep in the family business. Its interesting that Jesus sought out the men the local rabbi had rejected. Jesus offered His invitation "Follow Me," to ordinary run of the mill fishermen. What an honor! They would become followers of the ultimate Rabbi.
Jesus extends the same honor to you and me-not because we are the best or brightest, but because He needs ordinary people like us to model His life and to lovingly rescue people in His behalf. So, follow Him and let Him make something of your life! (by Joe Stowell)
As followers of Jesus who love Him from the heart, we may be ordinary, but we have been set apart :) ( Sper)

PS : Even the ordinary and the outcast can make the cut to follow Jesus.

(Jesus) said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19)

Bible verse : Ephesians 4: 17- 24

What is LOVE?
* Love is not just a feeling, but love is all about action too!
* Love can change everything, include the way you think

Why there is no LOVE?
# Do not get anger
# Ignorance separated you with God and people
# Jealousness make angriness

How to LOVE them as your brother and sister in Christ?
~ Bring or be a light to people from your mouth (do not make them angry!)
~ watch our comments about everything
~ Love people in deeper way

*God's love is not statistic and God's love is more than words*
