My turn to see, taste, and testify...

Yellow,

How are you all? As for me, I am doing fine with my new job, still on training. Kadang ngeri juga, kalo pas diteranginnya bejibun, kan susah ngingetnya begitu, meskipun sudah dicatat-catat. Ada satu cowo yang train aku skrg, dia bakal pindah Boston Jumat besok. Jadi dia berusaha menghibahkan ilmunya hehehe…I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthen me.

For those who have not known yet, I just got a big birthday present from God, which is a job. After couple months wondering and searching His perfect will, God finally gave me the job. Thanks God for His faithfulness. Season may come and go, but God will never change. I am still a temporary employee, but if God permits, then I will be hired permanently. After my OPT ends, I still don’t know what I should do. I need to pray and seek God’s will again. Oh mai-mai ternyata emang didalam hidup kita, ga bole berhenti cari kehendak Tuhan.

Things I have learned throughout the desert time:

1. Walk by faith

Kalo Tuhan udah taruh something didalam hati, jangan pernah takut. Meskipun ga keliatan apa-apa didepan sana, tapi melangkah dengan iman. Obedience brings you to the Promised Land. Thanks for those who brought up about the promised land. Semuanya lewat proses yang tidak gampang. Untuk dapat sampai di tanah perjanjian, ketakutan dan kekuatiran harus dikalahkan supaya dapat terus berjuang sampai tujuan. Jangan pernah takut melangkah. Pastor Oscar dulu pernah bilang, kadang kita tungguin Tuhan tapi benernya Tuhan sedang tungguin kita untuk melangkah. Jangan pernah takut salah, kita ini anak Tuhan, kalo sampe salah melangkah pun, bakal dibalikin lagi (thanks Len for this advice).

2. Romans 8:28

Detik ini kita ga bisa melihat apa-apa, semua tampak kurang baek dan ga sesuai dengan keinginan hati kita. Tapi percayalah, saat nanti kita berada didepan sana, dan kita menoleh kebelakang, kita bisa tau kalo semuanya Allah kerjakan untuk kebaikan kita. For about 6 months, aku berada dalam situasi yang ga menentu dan sangat tidak mengenakkan. Berulang kali mau menyerah, mau quit the game, tapi Tuhan baek dan tetap setia. Aku dikuatin lagi…n finally today aku bisa liat gitu kalo selama ini Tuhan mau ngajarin aku banyak hal.

3. God is the provider

If you are in the right place (the place where God wants you to be), God will provide everything. Don’t worry, but trust and believe that God is able to provide you with things you need. Just say in your prayer!

4. God will grant the desire of your heart

Pertama kali ikut Care Group di San Diego, ditanya ama tetua-tetua disini apakah aku pengen dapet kerja gitu. Ya aku bilang pengen…pas ditanya dimana, aku jawab pokoknya yang terbaik. Terus salah satu tetua berkata, God will grant the desire of your heart. Yap, that’s right…pas aku interview di LPL, didepan gedung aku bilang ke Tuhan kalo aku mau dapet kerja disini n Tuhan beneran ngasih. Prinsipnya kita berdoa n minta ke Tuhan, kalo cocok ama kehendak Tuhan, pasti dikasih gitu. Jangan takut minta lho…for I and you should know that if we ask often enough, it will be given, if we seek diligently, we will find, and if we knock with persistence, all door will be opened unto us (mengutip pledge #3 BOSS)

5. 1 Corinthians 2:9

If we love God, we must trust that He is preparing the best for us. He is working right now to give you things beyond your expectation.

6. He makes all things beautiful in His time

Jalan Tuhan bukan jalan kita, sedalam-dalamnya dan setinggi-tingginya pikiran kita, kita ga bisa menyelami pikiran Tuhan. But He is the god of yesterday, today, and future, He knows the best timing. We may have been praying for something, and it seemed that nothing happen. Don’t give up!!! Keep praying, keep asking, and He shall give it to you at His time (kalo sesuai kehendak Babe lho!).

Whatever situation you are now….GOD IS ABLE! GOD CAN DO MIRACULUOS THINGS IN YOUR LIFE! Don’t give up! He is there and He is walking with you.

Lately, got minor problems with my car. Pas parkir dicompany parking lot, bember belakang kiri disenggol ma orang, gat au sapa. Pas kuar-kuar kerja tahu-tahu melihat cat mobil udah terkelupas n ada baretan dikit. Oh mai-mai….mayan sebel, sedih. But, God teaches me how to be grateful. Eh hari ini pas parkirin mobil digarasi, sempat terlalu mepet. Jadi bemper kanan deket roda, ketempelan cat tembok n ada yang ngelupas juga. Aduh…pusink de…padahal dah hati-hati lho. Ga ngerti ada apa dibalik semua ini…udah doa padahal…aiz…so guys, help me in prayer ya so nothing will happen again with me and my car.

Thanks for everyone who has been a great supporter and encourager. Thanks for all prayers…Indeed your prayer come to pass….I got a job! Miss ya all ^o^
