This new Blogger's display confused me a bit when I was about to make this post. Well I used Googl* Chrom* (oops.. :p) as my browser, then it said that Blogger didn't support this browser anymore. So how to make a post? Asked myself.. Kinda hard at the beginning, but next I found myself writing this posting.. Hahaha..

Sooo, what am I gonna tell this time?

That I felt like a bird, rejected by the earth.. But thanks to earth, now the bird's flying higher! :)
That the bird fought hard to find her own mountain, to be her refuge.. And she has found it in God! :)
That what didn't kill her made her stronger! :)
That what she FEELS is not always what IS really happening, so she gotta learn from that! :)
That she doesn't have to fight for something that doesn't deserve her mind, body, and soul! :) Yes, instead, she deserves to be fighted for! :) When the grace should come, it'll come!
That a lot of things could happen, lot of things could hurt her, but it's OK.. :)
Cause there's nothing.. NOTHING's gonna be able to hurt her, as long as she has The Healer beside her! :)

So, I'm not affraid of rejecting, not affraid of brokenness, not affraid of whatever negatives that devil said to me, there's nothing's gonna hurt me as long as my God's beside me, He heals the hurt! :)
A stone could be thrown at me, but I'm gonna use at a stepping stone.. :)

Yes, now it's the time..
Not to be weak, but to be strong..
Not to cry for sadness, but for happiness..!
Not to give up, but to surrender..

So, bird.. Fly higher! :)

(*Ngomong apa sih deeee dee....?? Hahhahahaa.. Sindrom tengah malam.. -_- wkwkkw now sleep!! :p)

After a verrryyyy lonngg time no blogging.. Almost 2 years since 2009.. Wow.. A lot has happen since I've last written, and finally here's my first post (again)!

Wohoo..! :D

Nothing's special to talk about, it's just a short opening for a start of re-blogging. Actually I just read one of a new blogger's blog, which made me remember the good memory and all excitement in writing a blog.. : ) Then I decided to write one! :D

Since it's been almost 2 years, please excuse me to tell you shortly about what I've been through in this first posting..

Well, I've been BUSY (really) these past couple years.. Changed a lot into (I hope) a better person.. Grown up, not phisically, but in paradigm and mindset (even I hope that I also physically grow up!) wkwkwk.. Overall, I enjoyed these 2 years a lot :) Thanks to God, to family, to friends, and to life itself, for making me wonderfully lived it..

So, as a short first post I think that's enough for now (coz it's too late and I gotta sleep)~ Dunno what to tell next, but I'm looking forward for the next posting.. (Hope that I can make it) hahahha..

Let's see how the contestants of The Apprentice try to impress Donald Trump. Or how the American Idol contestants impress the judges, especially Simon Cowel? Simon is a producer of more than 17 billion albums and it is NOT that easy to make him impressed. Even if we are so surprised with their performance, Simon probably will only sit there and be cool without expression. Donald Trump wants an extraordinary business man and Simon needs an extraordinary singer. You see that?! The X Factor! They want the X factor from ordinary people so they could be extraordinary. Or have you ever been invited to a party by a rich man and you don’t even have any idea what you should bring as a present? Maybe he already has all things we think we could give to him… So, could you imagine how to impress the Lord?

Yes! Let me remind you that it will be so hard! ^^

Ps. Jeffrey’s son came to him and asked, “Daddy, could you share a little of your money for me?” then Ps. Jeffrey asked, “For what?” and his son answered, “I want to buy some candies.” Well, then he gave the money and see what happened when his son came back? He asked, “Could you share a little of your candies for me?” and then his son replied, “No…! It’s mine!” You see?! Sometimes we do exactly like his son did!

Romans 11:35) Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36) For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

We can see that all things in this world are His. That’s why… It’s so hard to impress our King. But praise the Lord! The Bible exactly shows how Jesus was being impressed by some people. Well, let me show you, for us to learn and could do so...

1. Mark 12:41-44
This is a story about a poor widow that threw all money that she had as the treasure, while other people gave from their abundance. That impressed Jesus! He knew that the treasure was so precious for that poor widow but she still gave it all.
That’s how to impress the God! Give our precious things. As Ps. Kong Hee said, "If your giving never touched you, it will never touch God” It’s not only about money but also our times, our services, our lives…

2. Matthew 26:6
This story tells us about a woman that poured an alabaster box of very precious ointment for Jesus’ burial. The disciples said, “To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.” But she sacrificed something for greater good and that was Jesus’ burial! It’s talking about sacrifice. Will we give the sacrifices for something greater?
For example, will we give our Saturday night for going to church and have a music-rehearsal for giving our best services at Sunday? Well, God impressed by the sacrifices and He can see what’s inside our hearts, do we give it truly or not?

3. Matthew 8:5
Matthew 8:5 tells us about a centurion who truly believed in Jesus to heal his servant. And Jesus impressed by his faith! As Romans 14:23b “for whatsoever is not of faith is sin”. So, without faith it is impossible for human to satisfy the Lord!

So, there are 3 keywords, PRECIOUS, SACRIFICE, and FAITH. From these three men, we can see one same thing! They are unknown, we don’t know their name. They’re just ordinary people who did extraordinary things. But they impressed the King! So let us give the service that will impress our God. Give the best, if it touches us, it will touch God. And see that the heaven will be so busy for us^^.

GBU^^

When I was browsing with my net, I suddenly wanted to pick up my phone n turn on the radio. Then I did it. Guess what happened next^^ I heard a preach from Maestro FM, and it's about the bitterness and forgiveness, the one thing that - sumtimes - could be so hard for all of us to do^^ Wheter you realize it or not, sumtimes we keep what people do in the bottom of our hearts. And it comes to step of "easy to forget", next "hard to forget", and finally "unforgetable and unforgiveable"! It's NOT nice.. -_-'

The sad fact about it, is... unforgiveness will hold up the answer of our prayers... T.T Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. If today we figure out that some of our prayers are not happen yet, then we better to check our hearts. Have we forgive and get out from bitterness?

Have you ever heard that THE BITTERNESS IS A CHOICE..? that's realy.. realy.. realy.. true! I just heard from that preach. Bitterness is a condition where you could CHOOSE to stay or out of that! The 'simple but real' fact that we usually forget is - we could NOT pray and say, "God please make my heart forgives them" THAT IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I assure you! Man is not a robot which heartless and being controled. God will not make decision for us because He made us in His likeness, we can decide as He can.

But I'll give you the key that can control it! You know what... THE KEY of forgiveness is A HUMBLE HEART! We will never be able to forgive if we still have the pride in our hearts! God said in I Peter 5 : 5-6, "5) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"

See? He order us to humble ourselves. That's should be our decision and not His. As Jesus said in Luke 14 : 7-10 :

"7) And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them. 8) When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9) And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10) But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee."

(If you don't realy get the point of it, I suggest you to open the Bible for reading the Indonesian, before you step forward in reading this paragraph^^) Well, the desicion about WHERE WE WILL SIT in the wedding is our choice! God can't do that for us even we pray everyday for all day long or cry in bloody tears.. That's - once again - our choice! So, now's the time to make decision, will we BE HUMBLE to forgive or not? Don't be worry and think, "It's hard.." because God already did it before us. He humbled Himself by coming to this dirty world and gave us the forgiveness, so why don't we?^^.

Hope thiz sharing may bless you all^^ I was so blessed when I heard it and I hope you so.

^^GBU all..
