My Fun Weekend...

Welcome back...

I've been busy with so many things, that I did not really have time to blogging. Eniwei, weekend was fun and excited. I went to the Multicultural Job Fair on Friday. It was okay....my first time to dress up and meet employer. Then, I cooked for CG: Pineaple Shrimp Mayonaise. Thanks to Budi and Steph for helping me.

Happy Birthday to Helen, Ci Lydia, and Albert. We gave Helen and Ci Lydia, a b-day celebration. I think Ci Lydia celebration was awesome... hehehe mau lagi ga ci? Bawa baju ganti lho ya...

CG Challenge,
Helen and I decided to join Ohana, so we have OHAPLoG hehehhe.... we win the 2nd place....well done....good teamwork! It was fun and exciting. Thanks to Louis for taking care the event, also Rio and Wil.

Next week, we're gonna have the prayer concert for Indonesia. Let's prepare our heart. Together we humble ourselves and ask God to heal our land.

I went to Final Exit Performance on Sunday night. Thanks to Helen for keep holding my hand....I was kind a afraid, but all scenes were awesome and real. Be careful with the choice we make. Your current choice determine your future. Will you be at Hell or Heaven??

This weekend, I asked God to reaffirm my calling. I know I need to corporate with Him to make every single plan that He has in my life comes true. It takes heart, courage, time, but I'll surely walk with You, my Lord!

Tuhan buat aku mengerti dan menjalani setiap kehendakMu dalam hidupku.
"Hingga kemuliaanMu nyata, hingga kuhembus nafas terakhir...." (Sasa's song on yesterday service).

Aduh pr2 belon pada kelar.....harus ngebutttttttttttttttttt!

Thanks for the transportation, Bud!

Comfort Zone...

This past few days, God has been reminding me about comfort zone. I believe it is not such a coincidence, since it stated for three times. Last Monday, Renny sent me a sms to remind me for my duty of making the care group material for the next week. The topic is comfort zone. Due to my busy schedule with school, I finally made it on Wednesday.

On Friday evening, I went to Hillsong and Joyce Meyer conference...wow...the opening praise and worship session by Hillsong was awesome. God...when can I have the chance to experience the same praise and worship atmosphere.... Again...Joyce Meyer brought up the topic about comfort zone from John 5. I want to go for another Hillsong concert, hopefully one day they will have one in Indonesia too.

On Saturday intercessory meeting, Pastur talked about comfort zone too.... so, this must be God's heart to His people then. Lord, help me to realize my comfort zone. I want to step out of my comfort zone and see you do big things in my life.

Thanks to Rio, Helen, N'dru for the help in making the movie clip. Thanks to my beloved Father for the creative ideas. I hope people can get the message and join heart together. The clip was done Saturday at 1am.....praise the Lord! Konser doa will be delayed to next two weeks. Must be ready by then.....

Lord, I know there are lots of things I need to do. I know as I'm doing Your business, You will take control and handle my life. I have no doubt that I will not lack of anything, even the time that I spent for You.

Tomorrow, I have an exam, my B2B class....... I don't want to be worried by that cause I know I have my God with me, amen!

The Joy Of The Lord is My Strength....thanks for putting that back, Lord!

Thanks for the wonderful and awesome prayer time with hunny last night. Although I was tired, I got restored by the warmth of your embrace. Mau lagi donk, Tuhan.... iya ga si.... will never stop to pursue Your presence.....more and more.....wanna wait upon You, my Dad and King!

Thank you for everything, my Lord!

Why I feel this....

I just get done with one of my class presentations. It was good, thanks God that we're finally done with one project. I just realized that from four groups that presented today, we were the only one who did not deal with food and beverage. Thus, it simplified our tasks. We did not need to deal with those food policy in other country.

Aiyooo...I almost forget....this morning, mom called me. Ups....It seemed so click. I was thinking to call them but I had to prepare myself going for school. They called me when I was driving. Mom reminded me about my bro, Ciwan's b-day. Sorry bro...I was too busy with things....

Eniwei, Happy Birthday to my beloved brother, Ciwan. Dah terima sms ama testimony ko? Miss you here....next year we can then celebrate both your b-day and andre's. My family may be here when the time for celebrating my parents' b-day come.....yipiiie....will they??

I don't know why, but I don't feel happy and peace right now. Feel like mau meluap-luap gitu... waduh gimana nih.......Lord, may your peace dwell in my heart. I know I may have lots of things to do. But I also have a great God....

Mouse aku kenapa ya.......rewel banget...susah digerakin dengan bebas....kadang sebel sendiri. While sekarang harus bikin paper lagiiiiiiiiiiiiii...............ya ampun banyak banget sih paper-paper. Tuhan, tolongin donk.....bertahan.....sampai kelar....duh...bagusnya semester depan 18 ato 15 credit hours ya??????

Hua.........hunnnnnnnnnnnnnn I want to eat silver dipper now.......

Thank you ce....

Yesterday I called my mentor in Indo. We talked and shared about lots of things. Thanks for everything, ce. Those sharings burn the fire in my heart. Lord, I want to surrender my worries, believe that You are a good Father who knows the best for the daughter. Help me to walk in faith and not be distracted with less important things.

I will run to catch God's will in my life. Now, I'm not really 100% sure about what I want to do after I graduate next August 2006, but I will never stop until I find what God wants me to do for next.

Choices:
Go to china --- learn Chinese language
Go back for good to Indo --- Work together with my families
Stay in the U.S --- find a job or go for MBA or go for school of ministry
or ???????????

I need to see what God has for me in His mind. It is not easy but I know He will reveal that to me soon.

Matthew 7:7-8
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Lucu banget ga sih... aku tuh sering banget ngadepin hal-hal yang serupa dengan apa yang dialami ama cici aku tuh.... God sends a partner for us to face things in life. I thank God for her.

Thanks for the Silver Dipper...

On Saturday night, I finally ate Silver Dipper....yummyyyyy......should we eat again next saturday? Thank you Uis, dah anterin "cici-cici" yang manis hehehhe, bener kan?

Vonny and I gave "Pao-Pao Pig" to our brotha C-Git. Git, jadi dimasakinnya kapan ni? Kita kan belon ikutan? Gimana Pao-Pao Pig, seneng ga? Dah diajak bobo belon kemaren? Cute sekali tuh tampang Pao-Pao Pig hehehehhe should we find "K??-T?? Pig also Pon??? Can't really reveal the "nickname", otherwise someone can turn from a lovely person to grgrgrggr..... I'd better run first then....

As we gather, we remember all the times we had together
As our life changes for whatever, we will still be friend forever

I cannot really remember the exact lyrics for the song, eniwei thanks Von and Di for coloring my life. Kapan kita bercuap-cuap n ketawa ketiwi di MSN??? Von, dah kangen godain si diani lagi neh. Kenapa dia selalu jadi korban "kebaikan" kita ya? hahuehuehue

Ren...thanks for the sharing. Eniwei, we shall not worry about "it". Believe with no doubt that the time will come soon...and we see the "best one"

A Prayer For My Buddy's Mom

Hery,

I'm sorry to hear how mom is doing....but I know God will always be a faithfull Father for all of His children. Have you ever heard this song?

PELANGI KASIH
APA YANG KAU ALAMI KINI
MUNGKIN TAK DAPAT ENGKAU MENGERTI
SATU HAL TANAMKAN DI HATI
INDAH SEMUA YANG TUHAN B'RI

TUHANMU TAK AKAN MEMBERI
ULAR BERACUNPADA YANG MINTA ROTI
COBAAN YANG ENGKAU ALAMI
TAK 'KAN MELEBIHI KEKUATANMU

REFF:
TANGAN TUHAN SEDANG MERENDA
SUATU KARYA YANG AGUNG MULIA
SAATNYA 'KAN TIBA NANTI
KAU LIHAT PELANGI KASIH-NYA

A verse for you:
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

When you read this blog, you can join with me in heart:

Father in heaven, I pray for Hery's mom. You are God who knows everything more than human do. You are God who exactly understand what is going on and how does it feel. Now, I pray for Hery's mom, that You will comfort and strengthen her during the most difficult time in her life. I pray that You will give assurance to her and Hery that whatever things they are going through, You will always be there for them. I pray that you may heal and set her free from the disease and infections. Pray that you will strengthen her body, Father. In Your mighty hand, I surrender Hery and his mom. May You work mightily in this family. Thank you Lord, Amen!

Have a pleasant and safe flight, buddy! God will always be with you...as He keeps watching you from the heaven.

My stressful weekend...

I think my body and my brain both need a break. Last week and this week, I had many exams, assignments, and team meetings. I felt so tired and exhausted. Dealing with M407 class for the homework had made my brain so stress....Kadang susah banget ni buat bersyukur...sampai kemarenpun masih ga yakin kalo actually I'm taking the right class...

Duh kenapa lagi ya....down lagi nih....balik jadi anak Tuhan yang takut tantangan....tapi aku percaya aku ga pernah melangkah sendiri. Thanks to Hery, Visal, Juju, Elmo, and Edhi for their help with my homework. Thanks to Diani and Vonny for their companion. Ga tau jadi apa kalo aku bener-bener harus ngerjain pr itu sendirian >.<

Tadi dah exam....tadi pagi bangun jam 6:30, ngantuk banget. Exam mayan susah, but I have done my best....waduh tapi benernya ada salah juga...belajar yang textbook kurang banyak. Yang lecture dah paham, tapi terms di textbook susah banget. I know I have made some mistakes on the exam, eniwei I'll give it to the hand of the mighty God.

Bentar lagi mau ke writing center....badan kerasa lemes n capek banget....masih ada satu kelas lagi nanti sore. Besok ada team project data yang mesti disubmit, chinese test kudu memorize characters, radicals.....Tuhan, mampukah diriku???? harus!! "Walk in faith sampai ujung" kata hun-hun....

Benernya Tuhan mau apa ya....kadang hidup ini berat banget. Dealing with double majors, sibuk n mayan susah.....endurance and preserverance. For anything great, there is a cost must be paid. Ada harga yang harus kita bayar saat ini buat masa depan......

I'll put my trust on God. Altought sometimes things seem so heavy and difficult, I will force my heart to be grateful and believe that God is in control and I will never walk alone.

A prophetic message that will open your eyes....

"PROPHETIC MESSAGE TO THE USA CHURCH"

- by Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj (-Prophet from India).

Delivered to the church in St. Louis, June 2002

Don't you believe any of the false prophets who preached to you after 9/11 saying it was not a judgment of God.... Two days before 9/11 happened, a dear friend of mine, a very saintly prophet of God, was taken up in the spirit to Heaven. And while he stood before the presence of the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ called forth for a mighty, powerful angel. He came and stood before the Lord Jesus Christ. And a fiery torch was given to this angel. As soon as the angel held the torch, he became enflamed (engulfed) with fire from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. And then, the command was given to the angel, GO FORTH! And cast this fire down upon the nations of the world. And the angel and this prophet came down, and they stood in the mid-heavens. And the angel told him, now see what happens. And the angel took the fiery torch in his hand and cast down fires in several parts of the earth. And when the fires were thrown, the angel told him, From now onward, there will be bombings, fires and destructions in many, many nations around the world. That (vision) was (given to this prophet) on the seventh of September (of 2001).

Read the full message: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~revival/warning-usa.html

I heard his preaching on the DVD these past two sundays. I was so blessed, so I decided to search this prophet from the Google. I found this prophetic message is very powerful. Will we stand for our beloved country, Indonesia? Will we stand in the gap for Indonesia, so that God will heal our country?

Thanks God for my exams....

I’m finally done with two exams today. One is in the morning and the other is in the evening. Thanks God for the strength, wisdom, and the ability to do both exams. I was worried about my evening exam, but it was not that bad. I can answer most questions. Thanks God that whatever I learnt has equipped me to do the exams. Now, it is time to surrender my results to God. I have done my best, and let God do His part. See… this is our privilege as God’s children. We do our best and God will do the rest.

Thanks God for the beautiful weather. It is predicted to be warmer this week. It is the time to wear your summer clothes before summer ends. I cannot imagine that in two months I will meet winter and snow again.

Anybody know any tour that go to Seattle and Vancouver?

My Current Thoughts

There are so many things that we can be worried of. We just have to many things stuck in our brain that keep causing us to be worried. We need to learn how to give our lives to the hand of a mighty and powerful God.

Read what God says about being worried:

Matthew 6
Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

ConCluSioN:
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Whatever your current conditions are, surrender your life into the hand of the mighty God. He is our provider ^.^

Father, I pray right now that you teach me and my friends to surrender everything to you. We believe that You hold our future, our decisions, our study, our work, our family, and everything. When we walk with You, we know You know the best for us and You will always give the best for Your children.

Amen............

My Niece, Rachel....

On Friday I called my mom. She told me a good news. My cousin finally gave birth on September 30 at 1pm. Congratulation Cik Yuyu and Ko KaHan. I'm happy for you guys. God's promise will never fail. Though, doctors from Singapore and Indonesia have different opinions about the sex of the baby, but the parents keep holding onto God's promise. Yup, it is true....a pretty baby girl is coming to the world. Her name is Rachel Devina Limas.

On Saturday, I received an email from my cousin, David. Thanks for the info and the baby picture. He informed me that the weight of the baby is 3.2 kg and the height is 49cm. She is a cute adorable little baby. She will be almost one years old if I decide to go back for good in the end of August 2006. Hmm.. finally I have a lil' sister hahahhaha ups.... a niece...

May God bless my little niece.....

I have a great God and loving Father....

Lord, I give you thanks for everything that You have done for me. Your never fail to show Your faithfulness to Your children. I am so grateful to have a wonderful and powerful God, plus a very loving Father.

Vonny’s surprise party was finally done….How did you feel on that day, Von? Thanks for all corporation…

Driving to Lafayette alone at 10:10pm….I didn’t feel like going at the first time, but since Hunny offered to accompany me for the car service, I chose to go on that night. We went for grocery midnight heuheuhuehue ckckck…My hunny needs to refill two bottles of water. Thanks for the yum yum popcorn chicken, hun ^.^

Saturday,

God worked miraculously since the morning. I went to Bob Rohrman for changing oil filter for my beloved car. Thanks to Hunny for her companion. It was not as crowded as usual, so I can get my car free wash yippi ^.^ we were waiting with our textbook. Suddenly one of the guys from the dealer called ‘Debra’ so I stood up, hearing someone called my name.

It was unexpected….surprisingly…the guy informed me that he found something wrong in my car that would cost me $370. If they found worse damage, it would be double that amount. If I don’t repair or change, it would even worse and more expensive…. I was shock….First, I didn’t really understand what the guy mean. Second, it was expensive. Third, I didn’t have my brothers with me. I was panic that I told Diani, I wanted to make a call in Indo. When she was trying to activate her phone card, the guy came again. He said, “sorry, it is not your car” fuih…someone’s name is the same with me…. Legalah hati ini………thanks God…..Everything was taken care and my car was ready to go. It was clean hehehehhe

Diani and I proceeded to go to Twin City to check my bumper. Once again, God heard my prayer. I told my problem to the guy there, he then inspected my right bumper. Then, I asked him, how much would that cost me…..amazingly….he said, “Don’t worry hun, we take care of it, it is free of charge” Praise the Lord! Thanks for everything Lord. One of the Fridays, I have to bring my car there for short repair.

We went for lunch in Great Wall. We arrived there 5 minutes earlier. Thanks God that we don’t have to wait for long time for the buffet to be set. Now, I can eat ‘bubur bitan’ huehuehue okay….next time hunny can cook for me then.

We arrived home, Diani turned on her MSN. She then said….what??? a bomb again?? Yes, it is true….there was three bomb explosion in Bali….man….why again??? This fact came to my mind….that I had to take the burden. Dolly and Alfa asked in the email before about who has the burden for organizing a prayer night for Indo. I wanted to do it but considering my busy schedules for school, I was just afraid of not being maximal. But what happened to Bali…..made me go on….If God places the burden in my heart, I would go for it.

Music team had the outing at China Garden. It was fun being with all bros and sis from music ministry.

Sunday,

I will have two exams on Monday, one on Tuesday and another one on Wednesday, also a group meeting on Tuesday evening until night…..I badly need God’s favor and grace.

I stayed up until 2:30am studying for one of my exam. The textbook was hard to be understood, please help me Lord. Open my mind and give me understanding.

In the morning, the sky was dark. We can hear the thunder….scary….I checked the weather.com. It stated that today is going to be thunderstorm the whole day. I was worried….I don’t like driving in the heavy rain and thunderstorm. I experienced that before and it was scary and I was afraid….

I pray to God who is above everything. I asked Him to stop the rain and delay the thunderstorm until I reach Indy. When we went to prayer meeting, the rain was stop. Praise the Lord! Prayer meeting was awesome. We listened to the preacher from India again. He taught me a lot…..wanna experience more of God’s mighty work in my life. Teach me to wait upon you Lord!

After prayer meeting, it was no raining at all. It was cloudy….and the weather was nice. I decided to drive back directly. Thanks God for everything….knowing that You will always protect me.

I know my Father loves me…..and I love Him too…..
