5th week in Sydney

Colosians 3:15 - 17: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ga kerasa, next week udah my 5th week di Sydney ... Well, kalo jet lag sih udah ga lagi, but a lot of things are already happening this year ...

Firstly, I am moving job (again) to software company in law industry ... I am excited about the opportunity and will hopefully grow more through this job ...

Secondly, my bro's gf is coming to Sydney and she will be studying English for one year .... It will hopefully be a good time to share with her and also I want to introduce her to Christ ... It is not possible for her to come to IPC, except for night church .. but even then, her english is still very bad .... Maybe I will go to nearby Korean church with her and my bro ...

Thirdly, one of my best friend at uni Farris is getting married with Helen .... I am happy for him, even two of my other friends are coming from Indonesia just to attend the wedding .... Today, we had acara tuker2 bingkisan merah di rumah Helen and Farris ... It was very nice, simple, friendly and seneng lah ngobrol2 ... I was introduced to both families and the acara lasted until 4PM gitu ... Tugas gua hari ini adalah jadi tukang photo ... Minggu depan waktu di gereja and resepsi, bakalan bantu2in di penerima tamu, parkir, projector, etc ... hehe ... Btw, gereja yg bakal dipake buat pernikahan itu bagus banget sih ... Tempatnya di rosebay di sekolah High school helen ... Gerejanya reminds me of miniature gereja di Europe ... Very ideal and classic banget .... hmmmm ... Europeeeeeeeeeeee ....

Fourthly, I am joining bible study again and may possibly lead .... That's exciting, but I am unsure of many things ... One is time ... Second is place (I can't use my place to run bs) ... Third is members .... For this 2 weeks I can't join the preparation since Farris is getting married, but hopefully I can join soon ...

Fifthly, I just realize kalo orang indo yg gua bisa ajak ke gereja tuh udah limited banget .... Kebanyakan org indo yg gua kenal udah ga anak uni lagi ... Di tempat kerja ada bbrp sih, tapi kebanyakan dari mrk udah Catholic atau udah tau kalo mrk Buddhist sih ... Kalo udah tau Buddhist, kadang rada sungkan mau ajak ... Catholic, biasanya ga mau ... Tapi pikir2 ga ada sungkan2 kali ya .... Firm aja, tapi sopan ... :) ..

Sixthly, This Wednesday bakal ada reunian ama anak2 exchange ... I am looking forward to see my friends again, terutama yg dari Sydney .... Gimana ya kabar mrk? hmmm

Seventhly, My friend B just accidently admit to me that he likes someone .... haha .... lucu abis ... gara2nya gua made jokes between him ama one particular girl (F) for no reason ... cuman iseng aja ... Terus dia bilang ke gua privately kalo jangan digodain, ga enak ama cewenya ... Gua ga sadar maksudnya ... terus ya gua tanya ... ga enak kenapa? kan biasa gua make jokes ... Dia jelasin muter2 sampe akhirnya dengan polosnya dia bilang sih ... "Gua kan suka ama dia" ... Waktu itu gua langsung ngeh, but can't help buat ketawa ... Dia juga rada blush gitu, soalnya B pikir gua tau tentang itu ... hehehe ... ga sengaja jadi victim deh ....

Spiritually, I feel like I have not fully trusted my life to God .... Kayaknya feel guilty banget ... Ttg masalah pindah kerja, masalah keluarga, masalah ini dan itu .... Susah banget mau berdoa, concentrate baca alkitab kalo in the middle of these things .... Gimana yah ... kalo mau jujur, mestinya all of these ga seharusnya bikin kita ga trust God, apalagi kalo kita tau God is so powerful and holy and He is our Father ... Kayaknya the things that I am worried about is so insignificant juga ... I learnt dulu di Holland that as Christians, kita seharusnya udah mati in Christ and alive for Him ... Now this life we live is for His glory ... Jadi mau pindah kerja kek, mau do this and that kek, we fully put our lives in God's hands .... Jujur gua gagal for these past 5 weeks .... Kebanyakan worry and lose focus on the things that really matter ... Banyak kali gua ngomong hal2 yg salah dan berpikir ke arah yg salah juga .... Well, I know it's a bit vague, but please pray for me ... and other Christians who are struggling as well ....
