She...

San Diego,
Tue, September 9, 2008.

it's been 4 days since i arrived in San Diego...
and it's been 5 days since my eldest sister passed away.
yes i know, thanks in advance for the sympathy..

it's a long suffering for her,
she suffered from a breast cancer, which was started about 5 years ago.
well, it's still a miracle she survived for these years..

what can i say tho...
these are m family's though moments..
a sibling of mine has gotten home to Father's dwelling place..

no more emails from her,
no more her laughs,
no more talks...

well, we're just human beings..
what comes from Him, comes back to His almighty hands..

i can't say anything more..
it's just,
i'm thankful that His great power and grace fulfill every of us, in every single seconds right now..
and i know, she's now in peace, all the best in His great plans...

i just want to sing this song,
dedicated to my beloved siste, words from God..

it's 'Chosen as Mine' from Hillsong..

Here I am so close to you,
Know My voice, I’ll never leave you..
For I have loved you since before the sands of time were made,

I love you still and always will..
You’re chosen as Mine...

My Father wants to bless you now,
Receive from Him all that you’ll ever need.
Come spend eternity with Me. My heart’s full of love for you.
I love you still and always will,
You’re chosen as Mine...

Cries in the desert, My child, I hear them.
Tears in the valley, My lovely, I count them.
You’re so precious; you were on My mind as I died.

I love you still, always will.
Chosen as Mine..


i just need her to know,
that even we didn't make it to reach San Diego before your time had came,
i just want her to see us finally came to this place..
it was her dreams..

esp with me,
yes sis.. i'm here now..
you see?

we love you..
but you know what,
God loves you more than we do...

To My Dearest Sister...

To a dear friend of mine, a sister, a hearty mentor, an amazing blessing by God’s great grace in my life.

Great words would never be appropriate,
Bunch of times would never get enough,

Father God, I dedicate an enormous gratifying for her,
For every thoughtful moments she had for me..
Which words will never put across..

Hearts been attached,
Thy loves be lasts..

I pray for you to be strong,
For His love will uphold us,
For His heart will guide us upon..

tiw hunney..
i have these verses for you..

“For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart. I was so senseless and ignorant, I was a brute heart before You. Nevertheless, I am continually with You. You have held my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Who do i have in heaven? There is no one on earth who I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from You shall perish, You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. But it is good for me to come close to God, I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works..” (Psalms 73 : 21 – 28)

tiw..
I don’t know how to speak up these things in my heart.. but absolutely, what’s in my heart are indescribable pieces of loves that Father has been fulfilling me with.
An overwhelming love that I just can give it to you in prayers and all cares…

Oh I always hate farewells…
But I know we will meet again someday tiw..

i really miss those moments when we cried together, sang together..
our times of worships, laughter, those night food cravings...
for every room that shared, those nite times spent without sleeping...
every hugs given, every prayers devoted..
God.. our friendship is one of a kind we know..

and this is the song that always reminds me of you, my dear ex housemate..

Thank you for giving to the Lord..
I am a life that was changed..
Thank you for giving to the Lord..
I am so glad you gave..

i'm so thankful for every little things that makes me contented just to think of it..
and i want you to know every single thing that you told me, those things been spoken, really means a lot to me.. when i was mistaken, when you feel down, when you have no one to talk to.. i'm still and always a friend.. being a good 'fruitcake' to struggle with you...


Tiw, when I get married someday in the future, i’ll want them to play the ‘magnificent’ from hillsong, and I really want you to pray for us in private.. remember that, ok?

So, if He ever calls you for world missions all over, don’t forget to fly back here on my wedding day..
it's a must. hehehehe.

Love you for always tiw..
Gonna miss youuuu hunneeeee..

*bear hugs*

"And friends are friends forever,
If the Lord's the Lord of them..
And a friend will not say never,
cause the welcome will not end..
Though its hard to let you go,
In the Father's hands we know..
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends..."

Sharing Some Blessings.. (Make Sure You Read This!)

hey guys..
i'm about to share a wonderful video here my friend recommended me.

oh it's being a blessing to me, and so, i want to share the blessings to all of you guys..

i really hope this video will make your day, bring you joy and faith even more..

just play this youtube video,
it's titled : Father's Love Letter.

Someway, i feel the circumstances i'm living in, is just underestimates me.
it feels like, they ignore my presence, just because they’re consider me as someone who has a bubbly personality.
And they really act as if having a bubbly personality is some kind of childish.

I just can’t comprehend this, people often misjudged me because of that?
Or maybe something else?
But all I know I feel is underestimation. And it stretched to many portions. Well yeah, that’s it.

There’s written in the bible, “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Timothy 4 : 12, KJV)

Hmm. This should be a good flog upon me.
So I should prove that God’s presence in me is NOT nothing, but it has a HUGE influence in my daily life!

Don’t you think so?
So even I’m young, and they think bubbly is childish, it’s a whip for me to choose to be an example, stood up more, firm beside His heart!

Hmm. This time, I’m learning more about humility, being such a bouncy person doesn’t mean I have to be such a child-like one. But bubbly means cheerful, and make better circumstances wherever I am, to show that His love brings me a joyful life. Doesn’t mean without sadness, but just be positive..

Oh, and below, I found a really awesome video from Donghaeng.
The title is ‘I Love You’
Oh it’s sooooo wonderfully made.. hope it’ll be more blessing to you guys.
God bless, and have a great day ahead!!

(you should wait a couple of minutes, then if it doesn't work, just click on the empty space below where the arrow mouse pointer turns out to hand pointer. it will play in a whole page.)
(MAKE SURE YOU SEE THIS FLASH!! it made me wept a bit. hihi.)

(you better wait a while till it full loaded)



I remember something like a dream
What I thought was real at night turned out to be
And I thought of giving up
'cause the pain was much to much
Tired of aching

So I tried to close my eyes to the fear
Even tried to cry… was all out of tears
Then from somewhere up above
From a father made of love
To a lonely space in a breaking heart

(chorus)

You sent me an angel. Oh oh
Oh what an angel, yea
Someone to touch my very soul
Sing to my heart
So you send me an angel oh oh
My very own angel, yea
Just what I needed….. an angel

I can still recall the moment I first knew
That my heart had finally found a home in you
That my search was at an end
And my only lover friend
was now here beside me
There was something in the smile on your face
Nothing in all the world could replace
When you held me in your arms
I was sure that all along
you were meant for me and me for you

(chorus)
Here was my angel, oh oh
Oh what an angel yea
Someone to touch my very soul
Sing to my heart
Whoh, send me an angel
My very own angel oh oh
Just what I needed, oh oh
An angel

Oooh you send me an angel oh oh
Oh what an angel
An angel
Someone to touch my very soul
Sing to my heart oh who
Send me an angel oh oh
My very own angel
Just what I needed
More than I ever dreamed
Cause my dreams were never this good
Til you 'came my angel
Baby baby oooh, mmmmm

never give up,
because we always know,
Father is always there in any of our circumstances..

LONELINESS..

If you’re reading this now, I might say u’ve been in this kind of situation before.

Or.. you might being on this station currently?

From what me and my fellows had experienced, being alone is something really irritating. Moreover, several might experience some of frustrating moments.

Do you agree with me, if I say most of WOMEN experience this kind of phase?

At first, I thought I’m just exaggerating after something that’s might seem insignificant to some people.
I tried to seek advice from some of my girls, and they resulted to say the same point.
It’s one of women’s most problematic issues. And we have to overcome this lonesomeness in life, somehow.

Learning from Paul, (well, this why I say most women, not all. I don’t think you dudes experience as painful as we do.. Correct me if I’m wrong.) There’s 3 types of common loneliness (Purpose Driven Life Daily Devotional) :

- Loneliness of separation.

- Loneliness of transitions.

- Loneliness of rejections.

Loneliness of Separation
It’s written that Paul never went anywhere alone; he always had at least one traveling companion. Yet, at the end of his life, he’s in prison in a foreign country and he couldn’t just pick up the phone and reached out and touched somebody.

We can experience the loneliness of separation because of military service, career, or maybe an illness. Many of us have lost our roots, or never had any to begin with, and that can cause loneliness.

What can you do about your loneliness from separation?

Focus on the needs of others – Get your eyes off yourself and focus outward. Look at how you can serve other people.

Focus on your purpose – Even when Paul was isolated in a prison, he wanted other people to know about Jesus. He wanted everybody to know about God’s love. He stopped looking at himself and he looked at how he could still tell others about the good news.

When you’re lonely – Stop building walls. instead, start building bridges!

Instead of saying, “I’m so lonely,”

say, “Father, help me be a friend to people who need a friend. Help me to help lonely people.” That is the antidote for loneliness.

Loneliness of transitions.

The fact is, life is a series of transitions.

We’re born, we grow up, we go to school, we graduate, we get jobs, we change jobs, we retire, we die.

And every time we make a change in life, there’s a good chance we’ll feel lonely.
We can even be lonely in a crowd; it doesn’t make any difference how many people are surrounding us.

It’s our relationship with those people that makes a difference.

How can you face loneliness when you’re in transition?

make good use of your time – Think, “What could I do now that would be difficult if other people were around? What could I do in this time of loneliness that I could not do if there were other people here to interrupt me?” Use your time to do something great for God.

stay focused on your purpose – So that at the end of your life, you can say, like Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7 NIV).

Loneliness of rejections.
Loneliness often comes from the feeling that you’ve been betrayed, deserted, or abandoned.

Paul felt deserted when he first went on trial in Rome. He wrote, “At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them” (2 Timothy 4:16 NIV).

Here’s one of the greatest Christians in history, but no one came to his support! He says, “But everyone deserted me.” He’s on trial for his life; no one comes to speak for his defense.

Yet, Paul didn’t say, “I’ve spent thirty years in the ministry and this is what I get?” No, instead he said, “But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it” (2 Timothy 4:17 NIV).

The Bible teaches that we have emotional needs and one of our greatest emotional needs is to be accepted.

Rejection is often the most devastating form of hurt.

Loneliness is so painful that people will try anything to relieve it.

They take drugs, they get drunk. They go through long lists of short-lived dating relationships. They coop themselves up in their homes with the TV as their only friend.

God says, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5 NIV).
____________________________

Oh yes I know, THEORETICAL things are much easier for us to tell.

In practice, we often get tired or even failed.
That’s why we need God.
We’re just nothing without His presence in our life!!

Frankly, I’m in this station exactly.

It’s terribly frustrating sometimes, and this is really a test to pull my faith back more next to Him!

Truly, I learned a lot about this loneliness thing, and I feel there’s no ‘enough’ to learn to overcome the loneliness.

It comes by over and over again.

Sometimes, if I feel terribly fatigue, I talk to God and tell Him every spot of pain in my feeling.

Somehow, God answers me differently from time to time.

At once, I might get dreadful, and God gave me easers, any small things. He really knows how to make me smile…

And at sometimes, God can disciplinary His own way. And that makes me stronger to realize how much strength I still have left.

These kinds of things, that makes us closer to God in our lonesomeness.

It’s the thing that ONLY God that knows and understands every of our pain!

I truly experience this..

so let’s learn more, be prepared, and RUN THE RACE WITH ENDURANCE!!

(and again, the song i put up there, journey by angela zhang, comes to rhyme...)

And in the end, we can say these..

For I’m already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 4:6-7 (NIV)

Dearest Nadya..

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Psalms 73 : 21-28, KJV.

thanks to my dearest darling sist, nadya..
my dearest friend, i truly thank God for you..
i truly grateful for He sent me you,
to be a friend, far-away though. [hee hee].

when my joy seems starts to fade away,
i realize what u sent me months ago,
these verses are superb for me!
it rhymes.. it rhymes.. and it rhymes...
totally strengthen me!
awesome God.. awesome nad..
now i'm having a big smile on my face. hihihi.
i love you as much, dear.. and u know Daddy loves us more..

GMB New Formation

news ahead...
some of us might know these news already, well, just share a little bit.
you guys must have notice the Indonesian well known Christian band, GMB (Giving My Best) ?
yap! from JPCC.
a little news from them, this June they'll launch their newest album, in a new band formation.
well, a bit shocking for me personally, because Sidney as the vocalist, stepped out from GMB and now the new vocalist for GMB is Bams-Samsons.
below i attach some picture i took from jawaban.com.

yes, this is the flyer for the new concert.
a bit 'movie' style. err... i still missed something there.

this is the new formation of GMB.
from left to right, Jeffry Hermanto, Bams, Joseph S. Djafar, Amos Cahyadi, & Adi Prasodjo

Bams in his new move..

and here they are..
new GMB.

this is a democratic country. so, let's shout out a bit. hee hee. no offense.
from me personally, maybe first impression about Bams doesn't really have the good charm like Mr. Sydney does. i like Sydney a lot.
he has this Pastoral - Worship Leader ambiance which no one would be like him -of course!-
well, i'm not judging Bams, but there's a bit missing-Sydney-weird-acceptance-for Bams thing.
hee. hee.
we know.. Bams is a celeb-kind person, many negative gossips around him.
oh, i miss Sydney. he's just adorable. hihihi.
well, people comes and goes, changes are weird, and hard to accept sometimes.
but we can't just compare Sydney and Bams, and hoping for Bams to replace Sydney's charm.
never will. but i'm sure, Bams has his own style, His own charm to be a worship leader.
we should see His great growth in the future..
maybe Bams will follow Sydney as a Youth Pastor? we'll see..

In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand...

this is one of my favorite song..
this is a superb one, a really powerful song.
see each word within says how powerful God we have..

" 'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live"

ow.. that sounds really ironic, yea?
yup. the irony between His death and our lives.

for me personally, this song really reminds me, how small i am..
anything good within me is not me, it's GOD.
all within me is all bad.

"No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand..."

i'm amused with this last paragraph..
it really shows how huge is His great love..
and nothing really matters, nothing is too hard with His love provides us..

it's time to learn about our generous God..
what i mean with this is in fact, God talks more about giving thank about heaven or hell.
see what He means about giving?

we're created as His character, and we're formed to be like Christ.
our God is a generous God.
even if we sins all the time, make Him disappointed, He still gives us the air to breathe.. He keeps providing us so we can eat each day..
that's small part of His generousness.

what i learn from here is, what you reap is what you sow.

so, instead of thinking WHY ME LORD?
then we should turn our mind a bit up side down..
GIVE MORE, DEMAND LESS.

-Psalms 23-

Youth Bungur's 41st Anniversary

May 17, 2008 – was a big day for us (my church’s youth community). This is the day we celebrated the 41^st anniversary of our youth. And a specially big day to me, since I’m alone was the event coordinator.

i attached couple of our pictures, not all of them, but I’m gonna tell about the pics one by one.

Just for info, we celebrated the ‘birthday ceremony’ with games and others at the church first (the game resulted a bit awkward by the way -- hee hee hee. but we had so much fun that time..), then we went to an orphanage at Kelapa Gading called Pondok Kasih Sejahtera (from the ministry of Hand of Hope). So, just enjoy the story!

This is our team. The main youth team.

from left to right,
Kiky – Aliang – Me – Andre – Shandy – Agus

many thanks to all.. and to the event team as well,
sorry we didn't had any chance to take pictures.. hiks..


these are the pics when the game session was held. it was really so much fun i can assume.
great work for shandy and anyan.. lotsa thanks for your hard works guys..

anyway, the game session itself has 2 types of games.
both of them are group games.
the first game, one of our group member had to draw something that written in a paper that we drew before. this first game that i said ended up a bit awkward in the drawing theme. haha. but it's fun because of its awkwardness. hee. hee. hee.
the second game, 2 of our group members have to practically show to others about what they're doing without any words. just body language. hee hee. and that was fun too!!

and this is the 5th group that won the prize!
Congratulations!

from left to right,
Kiky - Gigy - Ifan - Priscillia - and Andre giving the prize.

The Anniversary Cake.

(I don’t really know how it taste like, because actually, I don’t really like certain tart cakes smell. The sugary thing that covers it really disturbs my appetite. Sorry.. just personal taste of mine. Hee hee.)

Left: Kiky Right : Pnt. Jimmy Liem

Kiky is our youth leader. And Pnt. Jimmy Liem is our youth pastor.

Pnt. is an abbreviation for 'Penatua'. i dont know how to say this in english.
This one shows a symbolic session of first cut cake give-and-receive one.
(Mr. Jimmy, why no smile then? Hee hee. Sorry about the blurry thing again.. hehehehe)

They're the orphans at the orphanage. This one shows their spirit to sing praise for Jesus.
oh, it's amusing! they're really cheerful and full of spirit!
i was amused and got so excited!! even i was really tired, still i enjoyed to sing along with them.
you guys should see this short video that i recorded when they sang the song 'Hari ini Kurasa Bahagia' (Today I Feel Glad)
well, unfortunately, this video uploader turns out to be an error here. so.. just request and i'll send it to you via email.

How Do You Develop Self-Control?

May 7, 2008.
by Rick Warren

God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NCV)

*** *** *** ***

Successful people have one obvious trait in common: personal discipline. They are willing to do things that average people are unwilling to do.

It’s my observation that successful people express their self-discipline in six ways:

· Successful people master their moods – They live by their commitments, not their emotions. They do the right thing, even when they don’t feel like it. “A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls” (Proverbs 25:28 NLT).

· Successful people watch their words – They put their minds in gear before opening their mouths: “Those who control their tongue will have a long life ….” (Proverbs 13:3 NLT).

· Successful people restrain their reactions – How much can you take before you lose your cool? “People with good sense restrain their anger; they earn esteem by overlooking wrongs” (Proverbs 19:11 NLT).

· Successful people stick to their schedule – If you don’t determine how you will spend your time, you can be sure that others will decide for you! “So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days” (Ephesians 5:15-16, NLT).

· Successful people manage their money – They learn to live on less than what they make, and they invest the difference. The value of a budget is that it tells your money where you want it to go rather than wondering where it went: “The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get” (Proverbs 21:20 NLT).

· Successful people maintain their health – That way they can accomplish more and enjoy their achievements: “… control your body and live in holiness and honor” (1 Thessalonians 4:4 NLT).

Now, where do you need to develop self-control?

The disciplines you establish today will determine your success tomorrow. But it takes more than just willpower for lasting self-control. It takes a power greater than yourself. Think about this promise from the Bible: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT).

The more I accept God’s control over my life, the more self-control he gives me!
