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)

I Belong to The Youth

SO! I don't know where to start. But I certainly could say that THIS is not the end. God is not done yet. In fact, earlier today I was discussing things with Ijah and we both agreed on something : we are on an accelerated roller coaster ride. Faster than ever! Higher than we ever been before! There are milestones in life. Like moments when you graduated uni, or when your PR is approved. When you moved overseas or going back for good. Moments that marked a change in the season of life. But there are other kinds of moments : intangible, but leaving marks so deep your brain might let go but your soul never will. And last week was THAT kind of moments. A series of events that, combined together, was just.. Well. I couldn't find A WORD to describe it best. But I would try my best to re-tell the story. Here goes. (Beware. It's gonna be long) I was considering a one day leave, a half-day plus another half-day, or simply a 2 days leave to attend Empowered21. If you...

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 ...

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 ...
