Three Main Value-Adding Activities: Ministry, Study and Work :-)

My life has been revolving around those three things in the last couple of weeks. There is not much time spent for doing other things. Try my best to balance my life, getting enough sleep, not neglecting other things that are much more important than my study.

Yes, I decided to do master course this year and hoping to finish by the end of next year. Even though it is hard, I really enjoy it so far .. In the course, I learnt so many different things, concepts, practical stuffs .. They design and restructure the course very differently to last year. All of the core subjects that all commerce students must undertake are very interesting ... reallyy ... It is just so practical, makes a lot of sense, useful and serve the purpose of laying the foundation for things to come in the course.

Why I decided to do master is still a bit of a mystery to me ... I've thought about it for a long time ... I've shared this with a couple of friends, but only late last year I had come to a decision to further my study ... It was a factor of there is a possibility for me of going back to indonesia, lots of spare time after work and wanting to learn about economics/commerce that make me decide to do master course. I've also been working for 2 years (1 year as a Research Assistant and 1 year at Holocentric) and feel it's just the right time for me to continue my study (enough savings to pay for the fee and my living cost) ... There is also other factors which is ministry at pemuda has come to a point where there will be new inti serving for the next term. It doesn't mean I don't minister to my christian brothers and sisters anymore, but I will be focusing more on bible study and music rather than doing administration as a member of the youth committee ...

It has been really good SO FAR, but who knows what will happen down the track ... For now I just hope to finish this as soon as possible ...

James 4:13-17
13Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.” 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
