Last holidays

Hi diary,

Friday,
I went to Lafayette at nite with Robert and Steph after dinner. We reached there around 10pm. I stayed in Diani's apartment again. I was happy knowing that she was happy too with my decision to stay in her place, thanks Di ^o^ I prepared the material for the intercessory meeting and also made almond puding with Diani. We had problem with making puding lately. Last Monday when I came there, we made a coffee puding, it smelled so nice, but the day after we came back from Chicago, we figured out that the puding was failed -.- We both were kinda wondering what's wrong with the process of making it. About the almond puding, I was washing the place for the puding while Diani was doing something else for a while, leaving the puding on the stove. It was boiling very high, that the puding spilled around -.- we were dissapointed by that. What's wrong with puding and us?? hmm I'll try again one day to make the milky puding.

Saturday,
I woke up in the morning for intercessory. I got the turn to lead that. Last night ci Lisa told me that she won't be able to join the meeting. I was kinda worry, but I said to God, as long as I do my part, God will do His own part. Thanks Ndru for picking me up. The meeting was good, somehow the nite before and when we started the meeting, I just felt hunger and thrist for God's presence. I wanted His touch again. Lord, please come and fill me once again. Lately, It was hard sometimes to really feel God's presence. I mean I wanted more......I wanted Him to soak me in this presence. Gonna make this happen.....teach me Lord.

Lord, help me to keep on the focus. I know there are a lot of distractions, but I also believe that you know my struggles, Father. Hide me under your wings and let me be strong in You. I desperately need your strength to overcome the distractions. I do want to soar high like an eagle beyond limitation.

The music team had a meeting in the afternoon. Pastur shared about the quality of David. After that, Sasa prayed for each sister and pastor pray for each brother, then we all sisters prayed for Sasa. Sometimes as the team, we forgot to support the leader in prayer. The leader may pray for the members, but the leader also wants to be prayed. This is a true fact...... I experienced this before. But, I still remember what my spiritual sister told me when I was stressed out becoming a new leader. A leader must prepare her/his mental to face this fact. God has given everything for us, thus we must follow Him. As a leader, we must understand others without ask others back to understand us. Give, but do not hope to be given back. Care, but do not hope to be cared back. These words have blessed and strengthen my heart during that time. Thanks Lord.

The service was good. The praise and worship session is ministered by our brothers and sisters from Bloomington. It was awesome....we felt joy, we jumped around when praising Him. Some of us were standing in the middle (the gap between the right row chairs and left row chairs), we praised and worshipped God exictedly. Thanks to hilo lan" for the companion, also for Diani hehehhe........we may need to praise God more boldly. Thanks God!

The sermon was ministered by pastur's friend from Iowa. His name was Lasben Sitinjab. The sermon was good, he brought some funny stories that made the conggregation laugh. It was about giving our best. When we give our best, we pay the cost. We should give the best we can give.

After the service done, we all went to Saigon for the dinner. Luciu, Going, Just-Jus, and CaPLoG all went together then. It was very fun and enjoyable moment. I sat with Pongchay, R-mond, Iechun, Ouis, Eddi, Mike, Rio, and Sunie. We were playing words game, teasing each other, sharing, overall.......we were having fun. I think we need to do this more often hahahhaha ^o^ Louis was starting another rumor heuheuhue......this was supported by Lisa and Tin". We were talking that the LCB members were so close together that one rumor can fly to the rest in just a minute.

At nite, I got another b-day surprise from CaPLoG and those bros and sis who went to Michigan. Thank you guys.........I do apologize for not be able to pretend, that I don't know anything about the surprise. Man....this happened again. I don't know why that I got easily know about my own surprise??? not a good habit. I wish I was blur on my b-day so that I can be surprised, but Diani's plan on Wed nite was success. I think you guys are not supposed to talk over the plan in the same place where I was. Anyway........I really appreciate everything. Thanks for coming and also putting those creams in my face because I was unable to guess my present correctly. Hiks hiks....I felt that my face was so sweet and chocolati -.- Anyway, thanks for the presents guys also those beautiful flower. I'll upload the photos once I get them from Vonny and Sigit. Special thanks to C-git for arranging the photos. Still have some people promised me my words encouragement hahahhahaha...........I didn't get any words encouragement on my last year B-day, was happy to have those this year. Can I have it special pake telor???? ;)

Vonny slept in Diani's room too this nite. Thanks to Diani, Frisca, and wimpa for a very good hospitality. We were having fun sharing until it was 3am huaa and tomorrow Vonny and I need to go to Leader's meeting. I was able to talk and clarify things with someone. Thanks for the time yaaa.... ^o^ was happy to know that everything is alright.
