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 ...

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...

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 ...
