Day 8

Yellloww peeps!
Monday's over yay! Soon it will be another weekend lol.

Today was busy busy but also happy happy.
I got to meet the replacement of my assistant (see prev posts lol).

Don't know how long these eyes can stay open, so..
Shoot.

I was having a chat with a friend of mine.
We're talking about daily stuff, and I couldn't remember how but one topic leads to another, we started talking about our ministry.
And she told me how she seems to be in 'desert'.
Gimana dia ngerasa ilang motivasi dan semangat buat pelayanan.
Well, I know exactly how THAT felt. I understood, because I have experienced similar thing.

Then I was reminded on a picture I saw on Instagram.
Stated there,
'When your life looks blur, re-adjust your focus'.

When our days passed by without leaving any impression.
When our work or study or even ministry becomes a mere duty.
When nothing in our daily live excites us any longer.
We might be in the same desert.

When our life looks blur, re-adjust our focus.
We might have distanced ourselves from the Source, and we might do things by our own strength.
That's why we got burned out so easily.
Because no one is ever strong enough.
Without God.

Yesterday, I was talking to another of mine and she told me how exhausting it is to resist all negative thought because once she lower her guard down, all of the condemnation would float back and push her down.

And God reminded me that it is only exhausting because she did it on her own.
That she rely on her own power, to stay alert ALL THE TIME.
Well, I got exhausted only on imagining it.
I was reminded right there and then, that she needs to lean on God.
That she needs to draw her strength from God, and that sometimes, all He wants is for us to stop fighting, and just trust and rest assured in Him.

Matthew 11:28

The Message (MSG)
28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”


Last week He taught me that the only things that constant in life, is Him.
That the only assurance that never be shaken, is Jesus.

Today I learned the 'REST' part on the 'rest assured in Jesus'.

He longs for us to just lay our life down at His feet.
Our hope, our fear.
Our dreams, our burdens.
He longs for us to be refreshed and strengthen on daily basis.
Not only when the going gets tough, or when things go south.
But basically, every day of our life, comes rain comes shine.
When our life is focusing on Jesus, when we 'walk with Jesus and work with Jesus', we are actually shown, that He longs for us to take a rest.
Rest assured that Jesus is more than enough.

Here's a song for you :)




Good night, Blessed People.
Have a good rest in Him :)

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...
