exam haven't finish... sunday... and tomorow is my last exam and holiday start at 4pm..=]
today been such a blessing for me and my spiritual life.. is awakening alarm for me.. ps. sukirno from indonesia come and spread the word of God in our church and truly he spread God's desire and wants to my life and for sure He wants the same thing for your life=]
the sermon came from luke 14:25-35..
there is a story about two traveler who travel in a hot air balloon. they carry so much things so, the balloon is heavy and that's how they control the balloon. to help then to reach t the destinastion they need to throw their 'valuable' things. first thing that they throw was magazines, then a portable chair.. and many more.. till finally they need to throw their drinking water that is so important for them. our christian life is like that, God wants us to focus on Him and LOVE HIM ONLY! we cant love this earthly thing while we want to love God in the same time. we as human being always have so many wish list and always wants this and that. while we having our long list and seek God, pray to Him and ask Him to fulfill our list, in our mind we always set that God need to fulfill the list. but we forget that God's answer to a pray is not always yes, can sometime be no and may be or hold on. at this point we start to get upset when we know that God's answer is no. we never realize that the long list that we made is a WANT list not a NEEDS. God not only knows the good for us but the BEST!
when we set our life to God, we need to pay the cost! what cost? isnt that being a follower of Jesus is free? and He already pay everything for us on the cross? hah?? =/
YES! follow Jesus we dont need to pay anything in Money.. but, we need to pay the cost like time, family and etc. for example you need to have a relationship with God by Praying and you need to spare your time to pray! may be at the time where you facebooking, watching tv or drama, can be any of your valuable time. you need to give up things that is 'important' for you.
following Jesus you need to be the salt and light to the world. The scripture says that what is the purpose of being christian indeed we need to be a salt and bring impact to the world but, in fact we fail. the salt is tasteless and we are just the same as others. who goes clubbing, gossiping, and etc. this is the cost that God's talking about. for example when group of people start to gossips, then you came, whats their reaction? 1) they will come ask you to join because they know that you are a good gossipers? or 2) they will tell others to stop, because they know you dont like to gossips and people respect you.
this sermon really kick me off and wake me up! lord i pray, forgive me that i haven't be a good sheep and daughter to you, help me and guide me according to your will.
i hope this can bless you guys and keep following God, yes, we need to pay the cost but, the reward is much more!!! He promise for an eternal life! what can we ask for more? =]]
stay blessed!

He leads me! and its ABUNDANT!!
God will never ask you to do something where His grace doesn't provide you through.. another truth that i know but its too hard for me to accept. i feel so pissed and upset these days... things that happen surround me has hurt me. its like when you nail a wood and you take of the nail, the hole is still there and that's happen to me. but all i know.. his abundant grace and presence is more than enough for me...another feeling of burdened and another feeling of upset.. makes my days full of haters and grieve.
sometimes i think i'm the stupid and childish person alive! its actually about a friend who has make a mess with me and the more mess she made.. i call her ''princess'' haha... its not only a name but it reflecting her attitude and her personality! she has double face and if you heard my story about princess you will straight away tell me that im the evil one... but after you know the truth then you will see and realize that she is princess! ahahaha.. sometimes i feel that my life is like a korean drama hahahah....the more she come and involve her self in my life the more mess she made! i dont expect that! and i dont ever want her to be part of my life. but sometimes the more you reject it. the worse it will be and i believe He knows me well.. He knows the best for me.. not just good, but best! and God never gives us a bad gifts.. not like your boyfriend that still a human can always makes mistakes and makes you upset. but He is Jehova Jireh, He is my provider.
i feel like my problem is like you pray so hard to ask what you want but, it's fail! the prayer answer that He gives is not always YES but sometimes can be NO or LATER... now God's answer is NO... i've ask him not to make her part of my life but, as i ask.. and even harder i pray or ask.. everything went totally wrong from my plan and my expectation!..it seems like God really test me out..want me to be His Humble servant. when this problem came and when i reflect my self then i realize is that how you give your whole life to God, wher the answer to all prayer wants to be your way and your answer.. intead of His..???
oh well.. actually being upset and angry of the thing that you doesnt need to be is useless... i fell this problem make me angry and take my Joy and love that God has given away!... i fell so sad that i start lossing my peace, joy and love,... i know that i need that more than anything.. even gold.. diamonds... designer stuff.. of course i can still live without this temorary stuff but not without my Lord...
i know i need to get rid of the haters and the anger also the upset from all this thing.. but i belive and i allow Him to do it according to His will and His perfect time... by my mouth i can say i forgive princess.. but i can say not yet with my heart... so all i do is just allow Him and Holy Spirit to work...
as i've been bless... i believe you guys can feel the same! so..
watch this one and be blessed!

because we are so in love with the side dishes.. the waiters kinda remember to us and always give the black face when we ask for more.. =.='' till one day he tell us ''we as a korean didn't like side dishes because we think it's a cheap food. so i dont understand how come you guys like it!'' hahah... may be he dont like how we ask him for more side dishes.. hehe..
ok.. so i order yuk gae jang... perfect for windy and cold day! =]]

the class run for one hour and we went back again to library and as my friend julia need to buy tights for her mom so i accompany her to go=]]

Wake Up from Laziness
I realize, know and understand the truth about depending and trust in God. How? And what? Its all come back to you knee of praying! But recently laziness drives me away from Him. I’ve been trying so hard to push my self and make sure i do everything on the to do list to pleased God. End up with failing. its not about i don't have anything to pray, but its just lazy! Can you blame the weather because its autumn? Cold? And feel of comfort under your blanket? awww.. This thing is not what God wants. i always reflect my self with 'how if?'.. How if God is lazy to talk and walk with me? How if He doesn't want to lead me? How if... indeed He is not like that! He keeps His promise and He never change! (Glory To You alone)
what makes praying is so hard? isn't it praying should be an easiest thing to do? Praying is all about surrender to God, Trust, Lean on, and Depend on Him. on top of everything, its all about you communication with God. These past weeks ive been through a challenging week. School is busy, lots of things to be catch up and finished, need to start studying for exams, revisions, I've been abandon my ministry, my family has a problem, sick, lazy, lazy and its all about lazy! all this business take me away from my basic needs of praying and what did you do when you are not walking with God? Lacking? fall to a sin? self righteousness? what else? i always question my self, will i be strong enough to go through to all of this and at the end standing right and realize that i'm still as 'Good' as i'm expected? who knows... you don't hold your future. you don't even know what happen in next 2 hours. Something could just Popping up out of your expectation.
Praying is about communication and relationship. to be practical praying is like when you are on the phone with you love ones, mom, dad, bro, sis, or friend but, this time you are making a phone call to father in heaven. Talk with him like you talk with your mom, dad, love one, friend.. and make your self as comfortable as you can. Yes, bible said that you must go to a room, close the door and pray by you self in that room. But personally i will go and pray with my heart. i pray as i study, eat, go to school, on my way back home, showering.. and in any situation i'm in. its like 24/7 communication with our father in heaven and its free.. no connection fee.. No international rates.. and you can call Him as many as you like!
I always feel that God want to use me even more and He wants me to depends and really walk with Him. but, my other heart said no, i cant, i'm not able to. true! To do a great task im not able to. im limited, far from perfect! yet, He speaks and reminds me of the story from moses. when God come and talk with moses in the burning bushes. moses have been ask to lead the people of Israel to go from Egypt and moses reply that he cant, he is not able to. He don’t have any cool sword but, he have a wood stick that he always use in sheperd-ing the sheep. This story hit me straight away! I feel im too weak to carry a burden by my self. I still got a lot of mission to be done. I can say im the only Christian in the family. Yes my mom and bro knows about Jesus and who is He? But, they don’t really understand or they haven’t have a personal encounter with Jesus. My dad knows about Jesus and he still in the process of experiencing Jesus. So, I always feel im carrying a burden by myself, the mission of introducing and let my family experiencing God is not done yet. This few weeks im ‘hiding’ from God. Its quite funny, why? Because no matter fast I run, no matter where im hiding, God knows where I am and who I am. What God wants is wake me up from all laziness, business and be available to Him. Come on dessy, wake up! I know God miss me to come and pray, talk and be transparent to Him. He took my fall away. He cleanses me and He wants me to be use for His kingdom. He wants me to come back to my knee and PRAY! I do miss God, miss every single lovely moments when He come and touch my heart, speaks to me comfort me.
I know he mold me, im Your ‘cake batter’ o lord.. Mold, shape and refine me as You want me to be! Thank you Lord and Sorry for what I’ve done, hiding from you and not listen to you!
He leads me and with His love, faith and patience that He has on me. His mercy, grace and promise endures forever. GBU all.
in His Grace,

What Kind Of Soil Are You?
A sower went out to sow his seed...
Luke 8:5 NKJV
The seed of God's Word is always productive. The only variable is the soil of our hearts. In the parable of the sower Jesus discusses different kinds of soil:
1) Hard soil. In Bible times hard-packed footpaths ran alongside the farmer's field. Any seed falling there just shriveled and died. Be careful; when you've been walked on and disappointed, you can become callous; you can develop a tough, impenetrable shield that makes it easy for satan to come along and steal the seed of God's Word before it has a chance to grow. Prayer will keep that from happening, so '… break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord… ' (Hosea 10:12 NIV). 2) Superficial soil. In Jesus' day much of the farmland was just a few inches of topsoil over rock, with nothing to sustain roots. One Bible teacher writes: 'Superficiality is the curse of the age. We live in a world of shallow relationships, superficial conversations, and hurried moments of prayer. We bounce from one spiritual activity to another without any real root system.' 3) Cluttered soil. This ground was overgrown with weeds. There was no room for anything else. Clutter happens so easily, and it's dangerous because it's so subtle. Ever notice how often you're bombarded with guarantees that material things will bring you happiness? Like the car manufacturer who advertises, 'You can't buy happiness, but you can drive it!' Get real! Do a soil analysis and weed out anything that's hindering your spiritual growth. Once your heart's tender, your devotion deep, and your life uncluttered, you'll be good ground that yields fruit for God.-The Vine-
just reflect our self and get blessed!

Take a Step and Learn!
recently my church has been move in a praying movement! that God has lead us to. its a basic foundation of our christian life and praying should be the easiest thing to do.. yet.. its so hard! ahahaha...there's a good sermon that my pastor, Daniel Prajogo has share God's word with us.. he said that we as a human always thought that we are strong enough to go through the ups and down that God has given to us. we are so prideful of our self and many times we always forget that we cannot do anything without His power.. strength that He has given for all of us..
when we read bible we notice that Jesus praying life is mentioned alot in matthew.. luke and mark.. But no one has notice and expose His praying life, it is because people think that Jesus is God and praying is should be an easy task to do for Him and we think that He is God and He suppose to have the power and strength so, He don't need to pray.. WE ARE WRONG!
word of God mentioned in John 5:30 'by my self i can do nothing'
Jesus is son of God who send to the world and He just like us.. a normal human being. yes He's got the power and all. but it doesnt mean that He doesn't need to pray!.
when we have our own business and all other idols in our life, we will have a 'cooling down' phase of christian life. our desire life to God and our praying life will cool down. then we will feel that praying is an obligation . because we come and seek God through praying because we want something in return.
where God ask us to pray because He wants the RELATIONSHIP with us.. His son/daughter.
i encourage all of you to makes your praying life is a natural, like instinct..NOT optional!!!! therefore He never prayed out of obligation. for Jesus, life without praying does not make sense.
our self righteousness, sufficiency often bind us from our real poverty. if we can live without praying, then we can live without God? is it??
if Jesus, His son need to pray and Jesus thinks he cant do anything without God... HOW about us???
will we think the same way as Jesus think?
(well.. im not telling this to all of you but, i do telling this to my self as well.. =]])
when we confess with our mouth.. words.. it cost NOTHING.. BUT when we confess with our life it cost EVERYTHING!!..
we wouldn't know whats happen until the times is right then when we reflect/look back we will realize how Rich is His Grace.
START TO PRAY! and rely on Him alone not Your self! =]] as he said.. ''..come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest.'' Matthew 11:28
hopefully you guys can be blessed! and stay blessed!
