Self Reflection –part 2-

2010-02-23T07:12:00.001-08:00

I think I’ve been delaying this post for so long..

It’s been two months since my last post here, hmm.. I think I have to be more diligent.. :)

Anyway, for my self reflection –part 2- post, I think it’s best to base it on this book that I recently read, “The Shack”. I guess many of you have read it since it’s one of the bestseller.. and maybe you feel, “Wow! Is it true that God really like that in person? How can you ‘meet’ God, actually? or, I don’t think that it could really happen in this real life..”

Well, to be honest, I was so wowed at first.

I thought, “Wow.. If I can meet God in a place like that, what would I say to Him ya? Can I say, God, I’m sorry for all the bad things I’ve done.. or, I would be so mad at Him? ”

Hmm… Maybe option no.2 is what I’m going to do..

I’ll be so mad at Him until the point that I’ll blame Him for all of the bad things that’s happened to me.. :( I’m not making it up, it’s true..

Sometimes, when I feel so sick and tired for all of the troubles and dilemma.. I’ll say to God, “God, I can’t take this anymore.. Please take away these troubles from me.. Why did you give me this complicated situation anyway?” I was blaming God.. And then I’ll cried my heart out.

But then, after my tears are dried up and I feel better afterwards, I started to think again with my coolheaded mind. I’d say to myself, this situation is not God’s fault, it surely not! Maybe all of these happened for a reason.. I was sad because of that, of course.. But is blaming God the right thing to do?

I don’t think so.. (I can say this AFTER my head is clear.. :) )

I have to admit, all of the things that happened to me, brought me some goodness too.. Because, if I never had those troubles, I would never learn how to deal with the cruel life. All I ever learn would be the good things only, I’ll never know what it feels like to be suffering from pain, aches and even depression. It’s hard in the process, but in the end, after I got through of it, I know the pain will go away…

No pictures in this post, cause I meant it to be a self reflection one.. :)

I’ll see you at the next post!

Self Reflection- part 1

2009-12-10T07:02:00.001-08:00

OK, since it’s early December and we’re counting our last days of this year, I decided to make this post. I’m going to ask myself questions and answer it with honesty.

1. What am I doing here??

Hmmm.. this is a tricky question, but actually it’s easy to answer.. if you know the purpose of your life, it’ll only take a second to answer this..

What I’m doing here is to serve God’s purpose.

Seems easy, right? Well, for me, whatever I’m doing here in this is solely to serve God’s purpose in me for this world. I know that I’m here for a purpose, and it’s not mine to decide, because I’m a daughter of God, and it’s my obligation to obey. Maybe you’d think, “Don’t you have any desire what to achieve in your life, like a success?”

Hmm..

Nope.

You see, since I was a newborn in Jesus, I realized..

I don’t have human desires anymore, like the desire to be a rich and successful person, or to be a media mogul or maybe a millionaire.

I don’t have that kind of urge anymore. It’s just evaporated in the air.

Life is no longer a life if you’re away from Jesus, if I may say so.

My life, my body, my voice, my music and my writings are for Jesus only.

2. The second question would be, Am I satisfied with my life?

Yup! You bet I am.

Of course there are times of difficulties and challenges, but..

All in all, I feel very contented with this life God has given me.

In my life, I can have hope, where other people wouldn’t dare to dream about it.

I can have certainty, when other people are always afraid and worry.

I’m not alone, for He’s always beside me.

I have the greatest treasure of them all, and I have it by His Grace.

Now you tell me, isn’t that great or what?? ^^

Well, this is it for part 1, I’m going to continue it to part 2, and so on. Until the end of this December. I’d say.. Why don’t you do this post too?

Just 2 simple question for part 1 and you’re good to go! ^^

God bless you all!! ^^

(btw, I listened to Israel Houghton’s songs while I was writing this post, love his voice! Now that’s what I called the gift from God..)

So many things to be thankful for..

2009-11-26T19:40:00.001-08:00

Today is Thanksgiving..

And there are so many things that need to be thankful for..

I have a wonderful life that God has given to me..

My family, who’s always be there for me..

My friends, who’s always stand by me through the good and bad times..

And my Lord Jes us Christ, You are forever so amazing to me..

I’ve never seen anyone like You, Jesus, who never get tired of me, hehe..

No matter when I was bad and don’t listen to Your Words..

Or when I fall to the lowest point of my life.

But hey, isn’t that life’s all about?

We made mistakes, we do good things..

There are blessings, tears and joy..

I’m so grateful for everything!

A Very Special Thank You for Jesus…

For Being The Best Friend in my life, forever and always! ^^

ps: What about you? What are you thankful for today, in this Thanksgiving? Do comment here and let me know about it! ^^

Love You, God!

I guess I've begin to see the whole picture now..

There are lot of things that I don't understand in the past, but I do now.

Maybe, just maybe..

I have found my destiny..

And I know, that I'm born for this.

God, I love my life.

And thank You for making it so special for me.. ^^

A little update..

2009-09-04T04:49:00.000-07:00

I just bought the CS Lewis book, Mere Christianity and Problem of Pain.. I've been wanting this book for a long time!! ^^ I haven't finished reading it, so I guess more pictures will be coming next!
Oh ya, I want to share it with all of you, I think I've been closer to God lately.. when I pray, I feel I can touch the presence of God, and it makes me so calm and relaxed.. peace here in my heart.. ^^
You know, people used to say that they feel excited or a sense of euphoria when they feel the presence of GOD, but I don't. In my heart I feel like it's so calming, and making me want to sit still in His lap..Just like Mary (Martha's sister in the BIble), hehe.. ^^
How about you? What do you feel when you're praying?? ^^

A Quick Post! ^^

2009-08-21T03:42:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened to me lately.. ^^

Bad things and good things too.. But there is something I wanna share with you..

I recently bought Rick Warren's book "The Purpose Driven Life".. (after so long.. hehe..^^)

And it has been an inspiration for me..
It made me realized that we are here in this earth, only to serve Him and to please Him only..

We are here to make God happy.. It's not for us, it's for Him..

It just strucked me in the head and made me go like, "Now I get it!" ^^

How about you??

Just watched this movie..

2009-08-12T06:47:00.000-07:00

Love this song..

I'm always amazed whenever I watched this.. ^^
I remember when I watched this for the first time, it was 1993 right??
My brother, Joshua, was just born that year..

Great ending!! ^^

One of the Life's Great Lessons..

2009-07-13T06:40:00.000-07:00

You know, after this holiday I felt so blessed and also very humble. Why? Because when we thought that we had it all, and all of a sudden we fell. In that moment, you realized that you can't have it all, and it's all because of your greed. If we lose God, we will lose everything, that's one of the great lessons that I've learned 2 days ago. And I'm thankful for it. It hurts, yes, painfully. But if you just look at the big picture, you will learn that it's what's best for you..

My mom's fave hillsong's song

2009-07-13T06:38:00.001-07:00

I love this song!!

2009-07-13T06:33:00.001-07:00

My ipod is rescued!! Thank you, Jesus!!

2009-07-09T02:22:00.000-07:00

You know what, I thought that last night my ipod just crashed, you know, kaboom or something like that..I prayed to God, "Jesus, please.. you know how much I need this, please don't make anything bad or something else happen to my ipod.." I prayed like that, over and over.. The most devastating part for me is when I saw the Ipod status, it says it's been corrupted or something, so it need to be restored. Oh dear.. not again.. I was so depressed and sad..

But, you know what? I can hear that God's voice was whispering to me and said, "Don't be affraid, it was the Satan's attempt to knock you down, if you can get through this, you will know that your ipod is just fine.."

So, I prayed that God will give the strength to deliver me from this test, and I went to sleep. I'm not worry anymore.

And you know what happen today, just before I posted this? It turned out to be my ipod is in perfect condition and it's all can be synced up. So, there's nothing bad happened.

Hmm.. That's weird, I think. Yesterday, it didn't even show up in my itunes screen, and it needed to be restored, but now it's perfectly normal?? This rather odd situation just make me even more believe in God, and even further, it's getting clearer that what happen in the spirit world was more real than what we see in this real world. It is more important to believe in what He said, and always have faith. You're gonna need it. ^^v

1st Post.. Yay! ^^v

2009-07-07T21:24:00.001-07:00

Wow, another blog to write! I don’t know how I’m gonna divide my time writing my 2 other blogs (passionfor-beauty.blogspot.com and myscrambled-egg.blogspot.com), what I know is I love to write. I can’t stand looking my thinking fade away just like that, so I always depend on my writing to remember all the things I’ve learned. It reminds me about what Whoopy Goolberd said in her movie “Sister Act 2” = “If you wake up in the morning and you can’t think nothing but writing, then you’re a writer. “ I guess that quote describes me best. ^^

Honestly, I do feel like that every morning I woke up, I always had this kinda great things in my mind, and I could lost that memory in the next 5 minutes, so I have to write it out. It’s an urge I can’t escape.

In this blog, “Note to God”, I would write about religious thing, my devotion and faith in Jesus, and so on. Actually I’ve thought about writing this topic in my other blog, but I think, this kind of topic can’t be combined with other things, you have to have a special place for it, right?? So I created this blog. In this blog , I would write in 2 languages, English and Indonesia, but mostly in English (I don’t really understand this, but I every time I think in bahasa Indonesia, I will write it out in English, something’s up with my brain, I guess.. ^^).

I really hope my writing can help all of you, don’t forget to comment, OK?? If there’s anything you want to ask, you can contact me in my Facebook, I will reply as soon as I can.

Lots of Love and Prayer...

GBU! ^^v
