The Rock

Yelllowww peeps!

Been meaning to blog but, well, lots of things.

TLG Movie :) And then BBC (Bible Camp, fyi).


Actually I really really wanted to write every single detail of every experiences here.
Tapi udah malem... and besok masih Jumat (yay TGIF yayayay!)

Anyway, just wanna share something that I've strongly felt need to be documented hitam di atas putih. Halah.

To cut the story short, my sister's received something we never even expected to nor praying for one :
Bahasa Roh. Yep. Speak in tongue.
Dan dia baru bilang malem2 pas kita udah di rumah balik abis BBC, when she actually have a whole day and night before to tell me WHY ONLY TELL ok la.
I'm just super happy super excited super super.. I don't know.
Just rendered speechless by how He does things beyond expectations.

So she told me her stories.
How on the second night where the presence of Holy Spirit throw us off balance and turned our soul inside out, she barely able to stand, so she kneeled down and cry.
That's where it started.

Ok lah ceritanya panjang sih.
Rada lama juga ceritanya, karena smbl beres2 koper plus nangis2an. Well.

Intinya, she came to a point and told me this :

Kak, I know that you've been praying for me. And mom and dad.
I know you've been worried that we don't get to grow in faith (internal story about the church their attending, anyway..)
I know that you are worried for me because I'm yet to find a community where I can grow, one like yours (TLG!!).
Yes, somehow I know when you asked me how's KK (Kelompok Kecil di UI si Febe), you're actually worried right?
But see kak, when you turned your worried into prayer, see, how in His time, He answers your prayer, Kak.
I got to meet Him face to face and to experience His goodness, His GRACE.
I got to understand FIRST hand, what you've been telling us all this time, what happened when He touched your heart.
You see, your prayer is not.. useless.


Nah sekarang giliran gw yg nangis2 hahahah.

Gimana sih. How to describe to you ya.
Kaya..
HE LISTENS.
HE CARES.
And this small prayer of a sinner that was actually unworthy of His love, has made a difference to my sister's life.
HE IS ABLE and HE WANTS to answer our prayers!

Buat yg baca post gw sebelomnya, this is another assurance that in His time, the same thing will happen to my friend as well.
And that it is my privilege to pray for him.
Because to take part in someone's life-changing experience is a privilege, isn't it?
Especially if they are someone dear to you :)

The thing about putting our hope in God is, you know that He never fails.
He never disappoints.
His love lasts a lifetime.


He is the Rock, his works are perfect,

    and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
    upright and just is he.

Deuteronomy 32:4(NIV)

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 ...

Thirty Three Is The New Three

“God’s reward growth with pruning. More growth.” I stumbled across a worship moment on YouTube and the word spoken by Michael Miller breathe fresh air into my soul. “Pruning seasons are strange. You get disoriented. You think, “What did I do wrong?” Nothing. My shears are the reward of fruitfulness. You’re being positioned for greater fruitfulness.” Sometimes I forgot that the One who wants to see all of His promises fulfilled in my life more than myself is the Promiser Himself. And in the in-between seasons, He’s still the sweetest reward. A few days ago I woke up with a DM on my Instagram. A friend stumbled across my profile, clicked on my blog and she told me she started crying because God revealed many heart issues she’s not even aware of. I am in awe of what God’s doing behind the scene. The last post was, so far, the hardest writing in my life. I wrote it down while it’s still fresh in my heart, the disappointment, the struggle, the embrace. But today, I wrote from a totally diff...

At the End of My Faith

“At the end of your resources, you’ll find Mine.” The Lord spoke to me gently when I had to withdraw from my emergency fund savings. It was earlier this year. But I realized this journey begins much earlier in my life. I was an accountant and I’m really good at juggling numbers. Making them even. Balanced. But when it comes to managing my own finance, I failed. Big times. It’s either I splurged, and of course I justified myself : Hey, you earned this. Celebrate yourself! I mean, of course, if you turned towards the culture, you would find voices that agrees with your dysfunctions LOL. But deep down, I knew it’s not right. On the other hand, when my savings dwindled under a certain level that I wanted to maintain, I would turn to another extreme, I became so.. Ungenerous. Stingy. I would be so calculative, not just to people, but to myself, too. So 2 years ago, God showed me the root cause of this struggle : “Ke, all of your life, you’ve seen your early father did not cover you in this ...
