This is a thanksgiving post which has been delayed for sometime. Anyway, I still want to share this surprise news to everybody.It's been my dream to publish book, but ever since I started on my writing journey, I realized I have a lot to learn before doing that. However, several months ago our church launched a project of poems and pictures book. As a part of mercy ministry, the book is to

I wake up this morning (as usual, on wee hours) and was given grace by God to do something I've been wanting to do. Even though it's a step of faith, and I prayed that God would help me from making mistake, I feel it's a wonderful baby step I take. However, today I noticed something which I never been aware before.As I finished my typing, and when I look up, suddenly I caught a burning sign on my

I've been wanting to join the blogging chain of Thanksgiving posting every Thursday held by http://hanshinta1.blogspot.com/. But yeah, never got a chance (energy more precisely) to do it. But today, despite my weakness, as I read her blog, I got reminded of the long time post (in my mind) which I've been waiting to write.

Found this wonderful song by Jadon Lavik.Let's sing along:) My soul finds rest in YouMy fortress and my rock. My hope for life, my hiding place. My refuge and my God. In You I've found my home. My shelter from the storm. And I'll pour out my heart to You. And lean upon your throne.Chorus: I will put my trust in You. I will put my hope there, too. I will stand upon Your word.

Today I happened to chat with one of my old college mate and somehow in response to his question I shared with him one of the lessons God taught me sometimes ago. I have been wanting to share the lessons with you as well, but as usual the energy took control. But I think today, after having a nice lunch, I want to gather my remaining energy to write down this wonderful lesson which I've just

Today I come to realize something. I need to write this down so that it can be a reminder for myself of how God works in my life.As I have been struggling with pain for the past one year, I still keeping up hope that somehow, sometime, I will be able to get rid of this pain. Thus my journey of finding the way out begin.It started with frustration I would say. Been to so many doctors and can't

This morning I wake up with kinda good feeling...after awful pain last night.So yeah, I am thinking of listing different things happened in my life now. Just for fun to see (since I am really unmotivated to do my journal entries).1. Happiness is able to do small daily chore without giving myself pain and fatigue afterwards.This one is rarely happened. My cycle of fatigue and pain come and go.

This morning I got a beautiful song from my sis across the sea :)Thanks sis for lifting my spirit up and reminding me of wonderful truth of the power of God and the love of Christ.One of the lessons I learnt lately in my weak moments is that the love of God require no performance. Instead, His love gives strength to those who are weak. Despite all the pain and struggles, I give thanks to God that

Lately, I haven't been able to blog a lot. The reason is because I was sick, very sick. However, it take some time to figure things out since the cause is not widely recognized by the mainstream medical practitioner (It took me almost 1 year to find the right doctor who is aware of the issues and can do the right diagnosis all the while I got worse throughout time).Today I got the test result

This morning, I was awaken by the answer of a question that has long ago been occurred in my heart.Sometimes, this happened, when I have a good sleep at night, and wake up by thoughts about God. But of course, it's not something that happened to me everyday so far. And this morning, not only I am awaken by this wonderful thought, but also it awakened the "sleep from blogging" in me all this time

Starting yesterday, I'd just come to realization, how much God loves me.For the past half year, I have been working hard, trying hard to make a way out of my difficult and complicated situation. Each time, the more I tried, the harder I hit the wall. And as my faith grow weak, my walk with HIM grow weaker.

I always amazed of how God is able to speak into my life unexpectedly...especially of encouragement in due season.Lately I have been reminded (by reading most of the time) of how I am supposed to respond especially when I face difficulties in life. I need to strengthen myself out of my true identity in Christ. Not of what I own, but Who owns me instead.Strangely, today...as I embarked on a daily

"For those of us who know God, pain is a process with a certain purpose. We don't make it through tough times. We are made through tough times -- made into the beauty of Christ Jesus." - Joe Stowell (Anchors in the Storm).

Lord Jesus,Take away my unwilling heart, create a bond servant heart within me. A rebellious mind and act You despise, but life of full surrender You desire. May it be the last for me, so that I can start anew with You. Oh Lord, please forgive my sin of disbelief and fear and filth. I long to walk with You, each step with Your Spirit as my ultimate Guide. Withholding nothing, regretting nothing.

In the midst of my struggle, I come across this wonderful truth:"Do not try to get some kind of a 'plan' from God for your life, so you can start working on it! If you work on your plan, you will very likely spoil it! Or God may spoil it for you! You need only to know that God has a plan for your life, get to know His voice, do His will today and every day, and commit yourself into the hands of a

"Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God..." - Romans 1:1 (NKJV)This first sentence in the book of Romans has showed me one truth about God's calling. There are many aspects about God's calling in one's life which we can learn throughout His Word, but the opening greeting from Paul, the Apostle of God, contained a deep understanding about the

There are many times when God answers my questions unexpectedly--in terms of timing, and ways of course :))One of those questions (or matters if you want to say) are: I have too many of 'what if's running in my mind. And I got the answer in the midst of a book. Thus the quote which struck deep into my heart:"In God's world there are no 'ifs'. No place is any safer than any other place. Our only

When I first get to know God, I heard that He is love, and He loves all the people in the world including me, regardless of my condition.When I later getting to know Him more, I learn that knowing that He loves me in my mind affects me not so much compared to realizing that He truly loves me in my heart.Then lately, I learn that to know Him is really to know Love, in all of it rich aspects, all

What is it in Your mind? I was wondering...have I gone too far? Or I'm just at the brink of Your perfect will?Guess this is like the moment, when You called Peter to step out of the boat, and walk on the water...Not only I never walk on the water before...naturally I am a lousy swimmer as well.Oh, God, hands up---I surrender all: be it unto me according to Your will.

Of all the hymns that I love, there is one that's resounding in my life. It's not as popular as Amazing Grace, or I Surrender All, or Blessed Assurance, but I think the 4 verses really cover the different aspects of God's characteristics in our life.Though I've never had a chance to sing it in church worship services, I'm so glad that God still let me learn the sweet tune and beautiful lyrics.

Got called to attend a meeting...in such a short period time of notice (half hour only).Then, when I got there, I got more than just doing my work.I got a brand new DIGITAL CAMERA, 5 mega pixel, plus the 512 MB memory card.Couldn't believe it the first time, still amazed until now..

In our lives--in the middle of tight schedules, and struggles of daily living--it is so easy for us to lose our true prayer life. Now, what happen is not that we are not praying at all. As the matter of fact, we do. But it is what drives our prayer life which really concerns me. I'm really grateful for the fact that even in our limitation and not-so-right approach towards prayer, He still a

Do you ever feeling that what you do right now is just a vanity? That no matter how hard you tried, in the end, you’re facing the same old bulk of dissatisfaction and emptiness. Just like the wise man once said: all is vanity and grasping for the wind. (Ecclesiastes 1:14-NKJV)Many things could happen which drive us to that point: high tide of modern lifestyle (where everybody is racing like horse

Just want to thank God for what happened recently. Tight schedule with tons of workloads, at office and home--quite tiring rally actually, combined with minimum hours of sleep per day :( It's like I'm being stretched to maximum, and being so grateful being able to turn to God everytime I need it. So, one grace at a time, and one favor to savor. At least, now I can exhale...for a while:) -finally

Finally, able to unpack my things after weeks moving back to my own house (being so packed with work lately, and even in this long weekend, packed with another work). In the process of the unpacking, I found some of interesting memorabilia from the past...one of my old poems scribbled in the piece of paper...(well, what can I say, I'm the type of inspirational writer when it comes to poetry,

This week has been an unforgotten week for human history, about two thousand years ago. Reading again the passages, remembering each scene which have took place for the Lamb of God to surrender His blameless life for you...and me. As I reflect on God's love for humankind, I can't help it to see God's love in my own personal life. How His eyes has never taken off from me (and you as well--my God

I think in orchestrating the step of our lives, God, the Ultimate Creator, are truly truly ...creative? amazing? wonderful? :P (all those words can't really captured what's in my heart-- I'm running out of words this time.)It happened two days ago, in the midst of my interview for a new job, suddenly I was asked about my

It's common how we usually get too accustomed to particular truth of the Word that we forgot to chew more and sink deeper in the truth.As usual, I used to read the whole passage, particularly in Psalm.

Some of those 'first time' are:Attending the e-worship & sermon service instead of regular weekly service.Jotting down the sermon point by typing instead of hand writing.Now, I know, one of irreplaceable part of the full life of true believer is going to worship God weekly as a part of body of Christ.

For almost one week, facing many difficulties which resulted in unfavorable health condition. But thank God, in the midst of the 'storm', one little miracle sprung up.

Reading Genesis 2:8-15 is like reading a geographic direction. As a matter of fact, there were many research has been done based on the information in this passage, especially by the archaeologists, to try to find out where is the true location of Eden in the first place. That is not our topic today. What I got from this passage are somewhat different yet closer to our life. This is the passage

In our walk with God, often we find ourselves struggle to find time to be alone with Him, talk to Him, listen to Him, and meditating His Word. Amid our hectic life, the discipline often slip into one or another form of religiosity. Yes, we have prayed every time we wake up from and before we went to sleep. Adding to that, prayers that we say in hurry before we eat ( the hungrier, the 'hurrier' :P

Today,reading from John 3 :1-3 has changed my perspective on seeing things. It is interesting to note that the explanation of this perspective was took place at night. Nicodemus, a Pharisees, a ruler, this high rank man came to see Jesus for an 'explanation'. He just started an opening acknowledging Jesus as Teacher from God. Jesus' response seems 'irrelevant', if we see at a glance. But as usual
