One Day

Blogging from the top bunk of my bed.
Actually never planned to write anything but I just can't help it.

One question that keeps popping out on my mind these days :

What is it with my brain that does the exact opposite of my command?

For example, I told my brain to stop remember.
But what it does is just flooding itself with lots and lots of stuff that used to be so trivial, no emotion involved, yet now become a story that so significant it won't go away and even have a soundtrack of itself. Lol.

See, now I'm empathising some friends whom I teased from time to time to be overly 'emo' or 'clingy'. Even to the point of ridiculously 'sad'.

Well I've been judging and now I'm walking in their shoes.  Lol.

I know. I know it's part of the process.
And to be processed means going through tough times, leaving your safe place, rough patches.

I used to answer 'A Walk to Remember' when ppl ask me my favorite movie.
But then came 'One Day' and I can't help falling in love with it.
You know why?
Well. Because. Lol.
Because I can relate.
You know I'm not the kind that easily pouring my eyes out every time a heroine dies on a scene.
But I can't help it with Emma.
I even remember the scene when she stood on an alley after her miserably failing dinner with Dex.
When she cries, I cry.
Well actually I wanna hug her and say 'I feel you, Em!'

So.. Yeah. I feel you, Emma Morley.
But I'm not giving in to such sad ending.
I will just trust myself to the Great Creator Himself, to write the story of my life :)

Well. I'm starting to see how therapeutic writing is.
If I can put a soundtrack for my thoughts,  it'll be something like :
I start this posting with Paramore's The Only Exception and ending it with Hillsong Hillsong United's I Surrender.
Lol.

Thank you, Lord, for even in my darkest hours, I know that Your love keep me safe and sound.


1AM. Monday.
Must sleep.


Night awesome people.
You are blessed.

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 ...
