Akhirnya blogku diupdate!

It's been a while my bloggggggg ... There is so much happening since last time I updated my blog ...Don't know where to start ... I feel like there are so many things happening and I don't know where to start ... I feel lazy updating my blog as well because there are many things happening, but if I don't do that there are even more things happening and I will never update this blog again .. huh ... *kayak lingkaran setan kata orang indo* ... ^^

Anyway, during these few months there is one at least one blessing that I receive ... and "that is" or lebih tepatnya "she is" Azaria .. ^^ .. We started courtship in April and pray that this relationship can truly bring glory to God ... Don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I guess both of us surrender our relationship to God ... He is in control la ... and whatever happen I am hoping we can grow together through this courtship ... Please pray for us!!

I just got a new job *again* ... The reason why I move is because I don't really like the work environment in my current place ... 4 developers resigned last month and we definitely shared a common view that my current work place is not suitable for developers ... I will move to North Sydney for the new job ... I will miss hunter connection food *cheapest in city* but I can't wait to try the beef laksa at Northpoint ... hahaha ... Thank God for the new job !!

I need to find a place to rent soon .. The owner of my current house wants to use the property and we have to move out soon by 9 June ... I haven't got any confirmation yet regarding the rent ... Please pray that I can have a place by 9 june ... Otherwise homeless deh .. huhuhuhu ...

My mum is very sick ... She had tipus + demam berdarah at the same time and has to be hospitalized ... Kaget banget and kuatir, but I realized ga bisa ngapa2in juga ... Can only call her and pray to God ... Please pray for her as well, especially biar dia and papa bisa kenal Tuhan ...

Bible study was cancelled again last Wednesday .. huhuhu ... si alfred datengnya telat, si ting2 and rio ga bisa dateng .. si wendy and me bible study sendiri juga ga possible ... kita group paling telat deh ... haha ... yg lain udah at least selesai chapter 3 ... we are still at chp 2 ... *matenggg* ... Tapi ga mau ngebut2 juga sih ... hopefully we can finish well ... yg paling penting ya melakukan firman Tuhan nya ... bukan cepet2an ..

Been reading a book called "Merupa hidup dalam RupaNya" ... bagusssssss, menempelak sekali ... recommended!!!!! .. It's like kumpulan kotbah2 yg bisa digabungin jadi satu ... ada bbrp theme: Berhala (memakai Tuhan untuk kepentinganku), Cara Tuhan (balas kejahatan dengan kebaikan), etc ... Ask me if you want to borrow!! Bukunya dikasih si Azar and dia ada 3 copy?? hehe .. kurang banyak !!

Hmmmm .... I guess that's about it for now ... There are so many other things that happened in my life these past month ... ada yg sedih, senang, menyebalkan, membuat kuatir, exciting, boring, melatih kesabaran, etc ... I guess ga bisa ditulis semua, but I am thankful because through all these I believe God works in me and others .... I know I am slow to trust and have faith .. Maybe I also need to love more and there are some areas in my heart that need to be changed ... and God is patient with me! hehehe .. So I'll be patient too ...

Lastly, I just want to remind myself about what I've learnt in Holland ... that is to die for self and live for Christ ... Kesibukan and activities kadang bikin me lupa about this truth, focussing on myself, my achievement, my problems and jadi self-centred and sombong rather than on focusing on God ... uhuhuhu .. Please pray for me!!!

Blessed man!

Psalm 112

1^[a] Praise the LORD. ^[b]
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who finds great delight in his commands.

2 His children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. ^[c]

5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn ^[d] will be lifted high in honor.

10 The wicked man will see and be vexed,
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.

Besok si Jun dibaptis! ^^

Can't thank God enough for His grace ... I was shocked because I thought he was not yet ready and Om Joe suddenly told me that my bro is going to be baptized on easter ... I know that he joined kelas katekisasi, and told him kalo belum ready ga perlu dibaptis gpp ... yg penting terima Tuhan dulu secara sungguh2 ... That's what i told him, because in my eye he is not yet ready ....

After knowing that from Om Joe, I was really worried ... I was worried that he might feel pressured to be baptized by Om Joni ... I certainly did not or never put any pressure on him *tried my best not to* .. I then shared a little bit about christianity with him and asked him questions as well as showing him the passage from Luke 14: the cost of a disciple and a few more passages (John 3) .. Then I asked him, after knowing all this, do you really still want to follow Christ? He said "Yes" ... Dia bilang: "I am tired ga ada pegangan and gua percaya kalo Yesus itu ada and mati buat dosa gua gitu lah .. Lagian gua udah ngerasa cocok ama christianity .. Gua ga mau follow institutionnya, tapi gua mau ikut Tuhannya" ...

And then we prayed a little prayer ... After that, barulah gua sedikit tenang ... Right now, I want to learn to put my trust in not what I see, but what God is working in my family .... Pls pray for us!! Happy easter everyone ...
