Wake Up

Earlier today, I walked back home alone.
I think I've mentioned somewhere in this blog that walking alone at night is one of the best moment where I really can think about lots of stuff in peace.
Instead of being scared of the darkened streets and dim lights, I was soothed by the calm moon light and the rustling wind.

Tonight is a bit different.

There are quite a lot of things going on recently.
Things that I heard but not quite DOWNED on me.
It's like I've been slacking the whole time, not keeping myself alert.
I've been too busy taking care of myself, taking care of things that seems so important to me.

While walking back, I felt this heaviness on my heart.
Realizing that I've been forgetting the purpose given to me, and that my life was slowly focusing back on ME, instead of the One that given me my life.

Tonight, I was reminded. Why I was here in the first place.
I was reminded that this life I'm living is a gift.
And if I stop blessing others, I'm wasting my life away.
It's like a wake up call.
Like an alarm that was ringing in the background, but I kept pressing snooze.

I was reminded that it is not only about the responsibility given to me.
It's about seeing your loved ones are hurting, and knowing that there's no way you can sit tight and just watch.
They say, with great power, comes great responsibility.
But God is teaching me the other way around.
With great responsibility given to me, He's given me extra 'power' to do whatever He wants me to do.
I was reminded of this lyric 'break my heart from what breaks Yours'.
And really.
This is the first time I got my heart break to see people around me struggles.

I was reminded that God's faithfulness lasts a lifetime.
That His 'second chance' is limitless.
And no, it's not an excuse for us to take things for granted, take LIFE for granted.
On the contrary.
His second chance is our wake up call to refocus our life to the things that matters.
His second chance enables us to make amend, forgiven to forgive, and enables us to pick up where we left things off previously.

Peeps, I just wanna say, that it's never too late to turn your life around.
Life is all about making choices.
Choose wisely, for you only live once.
Time flies, chances might be missed.
Make sure that the things that matter to you now, matters to you forever.

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 me SCREAM

The Boy Who Showed Me My WHY

So last week, the entire school left Redding for ministry trip around the States. I went to Phoenix for 8 days and came home to school with tons of testimonies of healing, people set free, delivered, and experiencing the love of the Father in the most tangible way. But here’s my personal take on the trip to Phoenix, AZ. I met a boy and this divine appointment marked my life forever. I told God (and my team mates), if the reason of my entire trip, all the whirlwind of fund raising and preparations, was just for this one moment with this boy, I would do it all over again.  So on an evening, I was told that I would go to minister to kids in a home church the next day. (On prerequisite of being in the trip with Bethel people is a heart that is always ready with a smiley YES to whatever comes next. HAHAH. So many last minute change, you could be blindsided by the suddenness of if. Or you can take it as an invitation to lean on the Holy Spirit leading. It’s nerve-wrecking for a bit, but once

I Belong to The Youth

SO! I don't know where to start. But I certainly could say that THIS is not the end. God is not done yet. In fact, earlier today I was discussing things with Ijah and we both agreed on something : we are on an accelerated roller coaster ride. Faster than ever! Higher than we ever been before! There are milestones in life. Like moments when you graduated uni, or when your PR is approved. When you moved overseas or going back for good. Moments that marked a change in the season of life. But there are other kinds of moments : intangible, but leaving marks so deep your brain might let go but your soul never will. And last week was THAT kind of moments. A series of events that, combined together, was just.. Well. I couldn't find A WORD to describe it best. But I would try my best to re-tell the story. Here goes. (Beware. It's gonna be long) I was considering a one day leave, a half-day plus another half-day, or simply a 2 days leave to attend Empowered21. If you'
