The Beauty of the Lord

Wondering times of trial,
I look to the Lord for revival.
Why? Where? Who?

His beauty I cannot fathom,
Seek it, search for it, come...
Where? Who?

The grace to all, the gift for you,
A meer copy of the true.
Who?

In you.

Cruising week

Hi all... I wanna talk about my week. Firstly on Monday I got a haircut from the famous Eliza Kusmanto.. International hairdresser. She turned me from a nerd to what my friends call a "gungster" (Filo way of saying gangster =P) She was too expensive to pay with money so instead I made her a TimTam's shake (Gloria Jeans style) hehehe.. Then on Tuesday I had a nice long chat with Rhesa (about what you say? well be patient) and on Wednesday I had my lovely powerhouse with a TWIST!! Rhesa was doing edification!!! Go Rhesa! Go Rhesa!! He did a pretty good job considering it was his first time. And finally yesterday, Thursday, we had an awesome cruise hosted by the two lovely Jessica and Han2. Everyone looked gorgeous and spiffy, and the weather given by God was PERFECT!!! Full moon, no wind and the stars came out to dance. All in all, a perfect night out!

JESUSFREAKS!!!

Caaayyoooooo!!! I believe it is time to be the ultimate JesusFreaks that we were created to be once again. For a month now I have been learning stacks of lessons from the Almighty but I was always focusing on the wrong things. Now I realise that IT IS TIME TO BECOME JESUSFREAKS AGAIN!! I can feel my spirit rising!! I can feel my faith rising!! I've had enough of being knocked around by my emotions and the devil with his tricks. I want to F.R.O.G. again (Fully Rely On God!!) for everything: joy, peace, fun, smiles and even tears. I've had enough of people who need to be conformed by the world or by their friends, people who are ruled by their emotions, people who cannot worship Him unless their in a "good" mood or even people who feel lonely in the middle of the crowd. I don't want to be one of those people again. I want to rise up beyond the "natural" and go into the "SUPERNATURAL", not "ordinary" but "EXTRA-ORDINARY" Not ruled, dependant, addicted to anything/anyone BUT GOD!! We were all made for something special, made to BE DIFFERENT from everyone else!! COME ON EVERYONE!! WHO WILL JOIN ME?!?!?! WHO WILL BECOME A JESUSFREAK?!?!?

Another painful lesson learned...

Hi guys... Another thing I learnt from God is that there is nothing that God wants except your broken and empty heart. He did not die on the cross as a price for a heart stuck together on joy or pain, but He paid the price for our broken hearts. If we try to offer up our lives with anything attached, He won't accept it for the simple fact that He didn't pay for it. Only when we give up our broken hearts to Him, even though its extremely painful to empty your heart, then can we be stuck together once again with God's love. So many times I've tried to attach things to my heart in order to please God, but what really pleases Him is your broken heart and that only. Then He will stick it all back together with His love and we will be complete. That's why we have to rely on God and Him only. Stay on fire everyone! Ignite it in your hearts! Do you long for Him in every moment of your lives? Or do you depend on other people's love to cover you? Remember, the greater the pain, the greater the offering to God!!!

Forgetful but blessed!!

Hi guys! Right now I feel so blessed by God banget deh... (ini sharing engkin dari kemarin ^^) Kan dua minggu lalu, gue bete banget krn lagi di testing sama Tuhan (bukan bete marah sih...tapi lebih ke sedih" gitu lah..) Tapi abis di testing dan sudah menang, gue bisa langsung merasa Tuhan itu lebih deket lagi. He takes care of me even in the smallest things like waking me up in the morning even when I already turn-off all my alarms (note the word "alarms" coz I have/need more than one hehehe). And you know what!! Since all year 12's are allowed to go to the city for lunch, me and my friends go down to play some basketball down the road from our school everyday. On one occasion, I accidently left my blazer there which I might add costs $200 and I had my wallet in it which had US$100 in it. Crazy aye!! I was panicking in school like nuts and the moment the bell went I rushed down to the basketball courts and IT WAS STILL THERE!!! Bersyukurlah!!! Man, God takes care of me sooo much!! And even when a few days later I left my glasses down there also, and I found them again. God is soooooo good aye? So many people play at the courts and they didn't even touch it!! I'm glad I have God on my side cos I'm so pikun, kakek" hahaha...

Battles & Fortresses

As you all know, last week I went through one of the greatest battles I've ever faced. It took a lot of strength from me and at times I felt like giving up. Other times I would be strong whilst the devil taunted me. But in the end, THE LORD BROUGHT ABOUT A GREAT VICTORY!!! Wooooohooooooooooo!!!! Man, one thing that I learnt from my experiences with battles is that after you have won a battle in that particular part of you, it becomes one of your strongest points. (Just like if you break a bone, the pain comes first, then healing and finally the bone gets stronger!! You can check my biology book if you don't believe me hahaha..) Well this part of me now is a fortress that is impenetrable by any of the devil's tricks. Strong and mighty is the Lord Amen? He healed me once again and made me realise at His greatness and majesty. So glorious!

Btw, on another topic, my Indo is getting better!!! (not writing yet though...too hard) Try talk to me in Indo and you can tell it's getting better. Sometimes I have to have "permanasan" first though.. so be patient. This is thanks to all my Indo friends at church especially Icha (who forces me to speak Indo with her because she doesn't want to speak english with me ddaaassaaaarr euy!! hahaha.. ngak lah.. Icha baek koq (^.^)\/ peace, peace..jangan di cubit lagi ya? hehe), Rhesa (who helps me with the weirdest Indo words I've ever seen in my whole life, I had a list of all the words he gave me but I lost it *hiks* *hiks* sorry rhesa, you have to tell me again later muahahaha) and Daniel (who always corrrects me if I'm wrong when I'm "kelesek" with my words hahahaha). Thankyou semua!! Keep on teaching me more!!
