Love Like That

Yeah! Finally, some me-time! ;)
Change bed-sheet? Checked.
Doing weekly laundry? Checked.
YouTube + earpiece? Checked.
Room mate asleep? Checked. LOLS.

So many things happened this week.
So many words cramped inside this so little space called brain.
So here goes:
Things revealed. Money lost. Shock. Sick. Feverish. MC. Business taken care. Money found. Miraculously money never lost. Healed. Back to work. Another miracle: 4 accounts closed in 1 day. Awesome FA. Revelations over revelations. Another revelation *smirksmirk* Food tasting. Another soon-to-be-TheRoyal's-colleague. Another meeting. 1st offering sermon EVER. Nervous like.. so nervous. DONE! New friend introduced. Another awesome fellowship.
Yep. I guess that's all :)

Well, later I'll let you know the detail.
Let's just say that I was reminded how it is to live under grace and favor of God.
Once you're in, you'd never know how it would be like to be out of it.
Like trying to breath when you know you're in outer space. Simply no oxygen.

Anyway, today sermon in YRC was about something that I was contemplating on for quite some times.
About putting your hope in others.
And the following disappointment that leads to less and lesser hopes in the end.
About loving something or someone until you put it/him/her first over God.

Yes.
Okay.
I honestly say I'm thinking about it because this was what I've been doing the whole time.
Well.... *shyshy*

See.
All my life I know that I need to put God first and foremost above anything and anyone.
But I'd like to come clean that all this time, all I do is the exact opposite.
Well, I keep saying and I think I actually believe that I have put Him first.
The thing is, I could stay up all night just to wait for a single chat *past-tense-here, okay*
but at the same time, my morning devotion was always done in a rush.
You see here.
I could love people soooosooomuch. Toooo much. LOL.
That I would wait the whole night even when I was sleepy and tired just to hear a simple 'hello'.
But to greet my Father, I should drag myself and done it out of habit and obligation.

Okay.. That's just a simple example.

I am thankful and grateful that I've been made to choose.
As I mentioned in my previous entry here that you can not serve 2 masters.
Either you love Him entirely. Or you don't.
And I choose to solely love Him and to put Jesus first no matter might happen.


Yes, it's true that when I say : let Your will be done in my life, He did it.
He does it.
I cry, I bled (inside lah not outside), I'm doing things that I never thought I could do.
I feel things that I never thought I could feel.
And He works wonders.

And yes, whenever I remember, I'll be praying for you.
And I know that no pray goes unheard, simply because Jesus loves us too much :)

Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.
Mostly what God does is love you.
Keep company with Him and learn a life of love.
Observe how Christ love us.
His love was not cautious but extravagant.
He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of Himself to us.
Love like that.
(Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG)

Great things are happening. More to come.
And while waiting on it, I just wanna learn to love unselfishly.
Love like that.

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 ...

My Miracle

So this weekend, my mom and Febe was in town. In fact, I've just sent them off a few hours ago. WOW! Wow God wow! That's all I can say.. I'm loving every second I spent with the two. Good food, good times. But above them all, good talk. The best kind of talk where God is so evident, so powerful, so ever-present, in everything that we said. Sometimes we tend to talk about God's miracle like it was so far away, so abstract, when actually it is right there in front of us. So tangible, we can grasp it with our hands. For example, when Febe mentioned about Dad and the accident and his sickness. We can see how God allowed his pride to be crushed. And out of a new-found humility, God shaped His character : more Christ, less of himself. I knew who my dad was, and I know who he is now. And all I can see is miracle written all over him. Through the worst the world can assume, God brings in His best for our good. Not to mentioned how God put a heart o...

I Used to be Love Drunk

Nahh.. I'm not gonna bragging about love drunk or such. That's the song I'm listening while studying now. LOL. I'm such a multitasker. Ever heard a quotation about love that inspired you so much you can be a poet over night? I think it's true. I've been there. Trust me, I know. When the love I felt was so, so, so overwhelming almost physically. Yes, I think love's one hell of emotion that can make human do brave, crazy, stupid stuff. Love is good. Indeed. But love also destructive. (See Helen of Troy. Stupid Paris, what was he thinking?? Lust maybe. Not love. Whatever. I wasn't there) Anyhow, after some deep thinking, I can also add one more strong emotion that motivate human to do braver, crazier, stupid-er stuff than love do. It is hurt, i think. A bruise on your heart. That can be healed over time, or not. At least, that was the thing that inspired me more than falling head over heels in love. See the evidence below. so what. if u can put your finger ...
