Day 9

Yelloww darlings!

Today I waved my assistant goodbye ._.
But other than that, today was a calm uneventful one.


During my quite time today, gw tertempelak.
....

Once every now and then from beginning of the year, I asked God this question,
'What else, God?'
Not in the sarcastic, cocky way.
But more like, 'What else do You want me to do?'
'Because if You say 'go' I will go to wherever You ask me to.'

Even the 1st sentence on my devotional has seized my attention up.
Have you ever wanted to 'freeze' a moment and make it last a lifetime?
And I'm like, WELL YESS!

Basically, I was reminded by today devotional how some people (like me), avoid changes.
In fact, if I could just choose a moment and live there forever, I would.
But then, 'When it comes to change, we have a decision to make.
Change is a sign of growth and life and is sometimes needed simply to survive'
I think these kind of 'changes' is more about getting rid of destructive habits and lifeless traditions and any kind of thing that hold you down from running towards God.

Hal yang membuat gw tertempelak was when I read about Israelites who's about to reach Promised Land, but there's this huge river stands between them and the land.
And none of them knows how to cross.
After a painful dreadful 40 yrs, a river stand in between.
But as mentioned in Joshua 3, the priests carrying the Ark (tabut perjanjian) came to the edge of the river and stepped into the water, the water upstream stopped flowing.
It stood up in heap. So the people could cross over.

I was reminded of my question to God.
What else, God? Where else?
And when He kept quite, He doesn't mean that my question is not worth answering.
It's just that He wants me to take the first step of faith.
I need to come to the edge of the river and stepped into the water.
Only after that small step, THEN, He will make a way.

Notice that God did nothing until those toes touched the water.
That first step as all God needed to see.
Many times, we wont take the first step of change because we're afraid we won't be able to make the whole journey.
Don't wait until you believe it all.
Don't wait until you can see it all.
Don't wait until you understand it all.
Trust God and step out in faith. He will meet you there.

I've been asking for a breakthrough.
The thing is, it is my faith that needs one. I mean, a breakthrough.
So I could overcome my 'control issue' over changes in life and dip my toes in the water.

It's a free fall which I will need to take.
Afterall, God is there to catch me.

Isaiah 40:31

New International Version (NIV)
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

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...
