Here and Now

12.53 AM

By right I should be asleep for now. You know, beauty sleep and all that lol.
Actually intended to shut this laptop down but then decided to scroll down by Facebook wall.
Well well. Bad decisions, peeps lol.
Spotted one MV posted long ago, and like.. well. Hmm.
I feel like going home and going back and, you know, that kind of thing you peeps called galau lol.
But then I was reminded on last Saturday's Youth Night and things that follow afterwards.

Right.

Here goes.

I've been praying for all guests that was invited to the event.
I pray that no matter what they are going to see, hear, and experience, it would be a night of breakthrough for them.
For the hopeless to know that there is One True Hope that they can rely on for the rest of their lives.
For the unloved to feel that there is this abundant Love comes from the neverending Source.
For the sceptic to understand that there is sooo much MORE than what they eyes can see.
For the back-slider to be reminded of their First Love and to be made stronger in faith than ever.

And you know what?
When I hope that others received, I (yes, ME!) was the one who got MORE than my feeble mind could ever conceive.
It's.. More than my words can say.
Simply said, I got this assurance (well, more like RE-assurance) that I was in the right place and at the right time.
I mean not only for that night, but for Singapore.
For my study.
For my job.
For my house.
For my roommate ;)
For my Church community.
For my FA and all the preciously gifted peeps in it. So privileged to know all of you, guys. Really.
For everything that happened to me and the choices I've made, He made everything so beautiful till my knees tremble.

See, I'm just a regular person.
I got galau from time to time.
Sometimes I got anxious for dead-lines at works.
Sometimes I got overwhelmed by those online shops lol lol.
Sometimes I miss home (Jakarta home), sometimes I miss.. other stuff. Lol.
But that makes this all the more beautiful.
Because in my weaknesses His power make perfect :)
That it's not by my strength or my might or my bright mind lol lol that leads me to everything that I am today.
It is Jesus.

And like another normal person, I still don't know about the future.
Like, I know that now Singapore is my place.
This is where He wants me to be right now.
I might wish that I could stay here forever.
I might wish that I don't have to go back for good.
I might be wishing for other stuff as well.
But I give it all back to Him.
Wherever He wants me to go, I'll go.
Here and now and forever more, as long as I walk with Him, I am safe and secure.
Because all His plans are for good and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope (Jer29:11)

And like all those songs say, He never let go :)

When God Made a Promise

“I know this is too fast. And please don’t ask me why, because I don’t have the answer. I don’t know why.” “I won’t ask you why. Because I know.. It’s God.”   Wkwkwkwkwwkwkwkwkww duh supershy padahal biasanya ga tau malu. I’m still getting used to this. But those who viewed our IG feed and saw the pic posted in FB would know what this is all about. The Promise of God. It’s been there, mentioned the wholeee time in my earlier posts, yet unnamed. I’ll try to recall the whole story. Some details would be lost in translation because there are wayyyy TOO MANY. Haha. Fyi. I’VE BEEN WAITING SOOO LOOOONG TO SHOUT THIS OUT LOUD. So, here goes. Last Sunday, R asked me out to dinner. A few days before, he’s mentioned this fancy place and I calmly (I think) said, “Yes, yes why not” while inside I was [insert screaming emoji here] knowing that this is not a normal dining experience. OMG. I was so glad it’s through a text message, otherwise he would see ...

Luck?

Yellow peeps! Technically, I need to get myself some proper sleep. But then, I just need to share a thing, or two.. or three lolol. Here goes. Yesterday during FA, we were having this sharing session. A dear friend of mine shared how she felt like wasting her time studying for things she doesn't even want to pursue further. I was instantly reminded of another friend of mine who experienced similar thing. She took business instead of early childhood education because her mom told her to do so. Well, I think she was awesome back then. She went through 3 years of tough time, memorizing stuff she'd rather not knowing, but then she made it! And we graduated together, went through tough time of finding a job, and she got one in some kind of financial institution. What's makes it even more awesome, she took some courses that was required from her. She studied even more stuff about finance, going far far away from her early dream. Cut the story sh...

Season of Love

Yellow! Long time no write :P So.. My favorite month just over :(:( Nevermind. Because the best MONTH of the year is coming in another 29 days! Woohoooo! They say December is the season of love. But I'll say.. Well. Maybe I just tell you a story of 2 different people. WARNING . Stories might contain some fiction or non fiction, even a bit of mixed curcol. Okeh. Cerita pertama is about this guy. Udah bertaun-taun dia menjomblo. Mencari tulang rusuk yang rasanya ga ketemu2. Beberapa usaha pedekate sudah dilancarkan ke beberapa sasaran di waktu yang mungkin bersamaan, mungkin pula berbeda. Tapi entah kenapa. It seems smua ikan di laut itu udah nempel di pancingan penjala2 ikan mereka. Mungkin dia butuh lebih daripada sekedar pancing. Mungkin dia butuh jala. Or granat. At least beberapa ikan will come out alive. Even if terumbu2 karang jd korban. Oh well. It seems there's no hope. Jadi dia memutuskan untuk berhenti. Menyerah. Sto...
