Christmas Present

Dear Jesus,


Today is Your birthday...


Started 2000 years ago...

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9.6

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

John 18.37

As a present, I'd like to give You...


MEEEEEEEEEEE....... :D

So, once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Forever

The Message

The river of Your love
swept me off my feet,
carried me away
in its current
to places where
Your love is needed the most.

Giving hope
giving life
wherever it goes.



Your message of love
is kept in my very soul.
It shines thru my words
and good deeds.

The Bride?

Front (left-right): me, Devi, Valen
Back (left-right): Edo, Sanjaya, Ferry,Jak, Felix, Denny, Kevin

They are some members of my community. And, no, Devi wasn't the bride. She was the bride's maid:)


Yesterday, as I prayed, suddenly the scene before the photo was taken flashed in my mind. Felix and Edo teased Devi. They had an idea to put 'lollypops' they brought behind Devi's hair (she'd look like sailor moon, that was what they said). When the scene rushed in, I cried hahaha can u believe that? I cried because I was too happy. They were like real siblings, not friends. My heart was so full of thanksgiving.

Thanks for bringing us together, Dad. U bind us with Your love. I pray that this community keeps experiencing Your love, and let Your love shines thru our fellowship with one another. I pray that this community blesses our world where You send us.

Asa

Kuletakkan asaku pada
tangan Sang Penjunan.
Kulabuhkan anganku
pada kota bentengku.

Kala harapku membubung tinggi
biarlah kasih setiaMu yang
membuat kakiku tetap
berjejak di gunung batu.

Bila ketakutan menghadang dan
keraguan menyergapku,
Kau menembus kegelapanku dengan
cercah cahaya pengharapan.

Now I Know

I love you just because :)

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

(I Belong) To You

Another Hillsong's piece:


Here I stand forever in
Your mighty hand
Living with Your promise
Written on my heart

I am Yours
Surrendered wholly to You
You set me in Your family
Calling me Your own

Now I
I belong to You
Lord, I need
Your Spirit Your word Your truth
Hear my cry my deep desire
To know You more

In Your name
I will lift my hands
To the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows
I long to love You
With all I am
I belong to You

I will give them a new heart and a new mind. I will take away their stubborn heart of stone and will give them an obedient heart. Then they will keep my laws and faithfully obey all my commands. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 11.19-20

I will make an eternal covenant with them. I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will make them fear me with all their heart, so that they will never turn away from me.
Jeremiah 32.40

And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isaiah 54.13

You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You'll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.
Isaiah 58.12

Mon Père

He is the only son. He had a stern father and mother. His parents were so busy that they almost neglected their children (had so little time with them). It shaped him into a rebel and a hard-worker. He won't settle till he gets what he wants. He'll do anything to defend the honor of his family. He's a tenacious man.

Since he didn't have an example of showing love, he also doesn't know how to express his love to his children. I remember days when he went home and brought me some toys and books. As far as I remember, he gave me only those during his going out of town. He rarely spoke to me and spent time with me when I was a child.

It molded me into a girl who loves time and attention given. I prefer somebody spends her/ his time with me than s/he gives me a present. Anyway I admire his tenacity and hardworking.

I am what I am today because of you. I'm going from restoration to restoration also because of you. I learn to know my Daddy because of you, too. So, thanks to you:)

All Things Are Possible

Almighty God, my Redeemer
My hiding place, my strong refuge,
No other name like Jesus
No power can stand against You

My feet are planted on this rock
and I will not be shaken
My hope it comes from You alone,
My Rock and my Salvation

Your praise is always on my lips
Your Word is living in my heart
And I will praise You with a new song
My soul will bless You, Lord

You fill my life with greater joy
as I delight myself in You
And I will praise You with a new song
My soul will bless You, Lord

When I am weak You make me strong
When I'm poor I know I'm rich
For in the power of Your name
All things are possible, all things are possible

He Knows My Name

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

*Dad, U really are know me very well. I'm very grateful for it and amazed :) For U are truly AMAZING!!!

Yesterday

I found the light in my darkness eventually! Hurray \(^_^)/



The fruit of the spirit is love,..., self-control.
Love is long suffering, it is never tired of waiting, it has no pride.

I thought I'm quite a patient person in waiting. Yet, I was proved wrong. I couldn't stand waiting without any certainties. And that's exactly what Dad wants me to develop, and also self-control ^^

Dad also wants me to learn that I may not take pride in my backgrounds (family, and education). He wants me to take pride only in who I am in Him. And that's enough.
You see... I'm unable to do one simple thing without His grace. I just realized it ^^

Every single thing happens to serve God's divine purposes (Romans 8.28).

The Anchor of Hope

If only it were as simple as the fairy tales...

From time to time I'm tossed to and fro
by the wind of uncertainty, worry , and fear.

I throw the Anchor of Hope
which saves me,keeping me still.

The wind wheezes and swirls around me
but I won't be shaken.

My soul sings a new song,
blesses the Anchor of Hope.

It is my only Hope
in the midst of blowing wind.

I yield all my wishes and desires,
my heart and mind to You, Sovereign Lord.

I bring them all
into submission to Your will.
