Whatever It Costs Me

Sometimes God met you in a very least expected moments.
And I think that is the reason why there's never a dull moment with Him.
Ups. Downs. But definitely not dull lol.

It's been a busy weekends. Febe was here for her birthday :) Nana was here.
I got to meet Kelyn's little newborn awww so precious :') 
And most of all, I've shared many things to many people. God's thing. The journey and the process.
And His promises!

But now I'd like to hit PAUSE and take a breather.
It's easy to write about things that are obviously beautiful. Or when things are resolved.
Or when your prayer is answered. And when the storm is over.
But He has just reminded me of something that is humbling and at the same time.. Terrifying lol.

A few hours ago, my sister informed me that she would stay with her friends. Again.
Lol yes I am a jealous sister. I know I've been busy. But I've arranged my other activities around my sister's plans. I've prioritized her. And when I didn't feel like she prioritized me THAT WAY, well, I got upset.
I used to throw tantrum (ngambek, ga tau Englishnya apa lol) if this kind of things happen.
But this time, I chose to NOT react immediately but instead, cried out to God.

"Help. I don't like this feeling Dad.."

I was in the middle of my nightly routine, showered, toner, moisturizer, all the girly stuff lol when the presence of God came down, like, out of nowhere hahahaha.
(I was like, wait God, wait, 20 more sec wait hahahahaha omg).
So I knelt down beside my bed and cried my eyeballs out right there and then.
Planetshaker's playing in the background..

I want You
More than my comfort
I want You
more than my needs
Holy Spirit
You are so precious to me

I want You
More than success
I want You
More than my dreams
Holy Spirit
You are so precious to me

He reminded me that He is more precious than anything else in my life.
And even as I'm writing things down, I still don't know fully, how to wrap my heart around all this..
He said, "There will come a time where worshiping me in your obedience means letting go of your precious ones, those that you love the most. There will come a time where you have to put everything that is so precious to you behind. Including your family."

Well all the tears tho hahaha.

These past week, He's sharpened His calling to me.
Revelations after revelations. Doors after doors.
What's with the triple acceleration, God? Why now?
Well, what I know is, He's never late, never too early. And I know that He's always good.
My good good Father.

If you read my previous post, I've mentioned earlier about a larger than life calling.
But what He reveals these past week was actually much much much bigger and I suddenly felt so small in comparison. I know that I'm totally helpless, powerless without Him.

And I know that for every step of faith taken further, there is a price to pay.
But I WANT IN. I WANT IN, GOD!
Even when it doesn't make sense, even when it hurts, I would still ask the Holy Spirit to speak louder than my thoughts and my feeling. And once again, I would ask for the strength to obey.

I want You, whatever it costs me
I want You, You're all that I seek
Holy Spirit You are so precious to me

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...

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...
