My journey with Christ

This year i have stopped being a cell group leader as well as BSF group leader, ah yes and worship leader too. I am not sure if it is the right decision but i went ahead anyway because i know i dont have peace if i continue. I was in the cross road and dont really know what to do but took the step of faith and stop everything because i believe if God really wants me back He is able to make it happens. Since i have stopped everything (i am still singer and translator) , i start to wonder, what is it that God want me to do this year? The answer didnt come straight away. As i shared bfore the theme for me this year was God increase and I decrease but the details of job desc for me wasnt revealed until recently. Firstly, my cell group leader was MIA (missing in action) so indirectly as core team member with another member we both tried our best to keep it going. When theres new member at church we tried to reach out to them and brought them to our cell group. It was kinda 'agressive...

I like being efficient and do things fast. I dont like to waste time and what i dislike the most is waiting, whether it is as small as  waiting for someone when I pick them up, or waiting for things to happen for eg in my case right now that is meeting my future partner. You can see from my life , as soon as I finish year 2 uni, i straight away looked for internship, and i hopped from one work to another very fast. I talk fast, eat fast, even walk fast. And with today's world, it makes things worse.  I copied this from one of the websites i stumbled across as i prepared this sharing: Some of us have very busy lives and feel as though we are always in a hurry. Others may have had to slow down for reasons outside their control and may feel some resentment, or at least a slight sadness, at not being able to do as much or do it as fast as was possible in the past. One of the reasons we find it difficult to slow down is that we have not become convinced of the need for th...

Ohhh... how i wish i could share with you about my love story  on this Valentine's day.. haha if thats what you are looking for then.. too bad .. this post isnt about that. Today wasnt a good day for me. Since the morning ive been quite embarassed. Why? Firstly i dropped my speaker phone dust protected underneath Swarovski's store display stand. The store assistant actually had to lay down on the floor, take out all the boxes in the drawer and took it out. I felt so bad and then 10 minutes after that, the strap of my heels broke, so i had to drag one of my legs and walk to the nearest shoes store to buy a pair of new heels! What a day huh! Thats not the whole story yet So today i was planning to go somewhere after my dinner at best friend's house. On my way to this friend's house i didnt notice the protruding nature strip and my car hit the nature strip quite badly that the rim came out. At that time i didnt know my tire was affected too. However i could feel that s...

I have been stressing about my trip to Europe this year since November last year. Several reasons include my passport expiring in July and i need to have at least 3 months before it expires when i am in Europe. At the same time I checked Indonesian Embassy that the earliest i can apply extension is 6 months before expiry which is in January. To complicate things further, visa application may take up to 10 weeks which if i apply in February im afraid that i wont have enough time to get my passport back before i fly to Indonesia. And... another major thing is i can either apply my Schegen visa from Dutch embassy or Germany embassy depending on my itinerary. But if i go with Germany, my other family members in Indonesia have to fly to another city for the application. However if I apply from Dutch embassy i need to go to Sydney to apply. This all really gave me headache from November 2014. I have tried to find so many alternatives and finally this is what happened I called Indonesian em...

I think i have shared so many times about promotion at work. All i can say is I am trully favored by God especially in career wise. Today i finally receive permanent position at workplace. Praise God! As you remember this was my journey since started working at royal childrens. Specimen reception - started with 1 year then got extension for 3 months  twice. Then promoted to Medical scientist - started with 1 year contract which is due end of March by the way and it was supposedly to be extended yearly as well. All this while i never worry about my work even i know my contract is up soon but i just go with whats in front of me and just give my best . I know there are so many others in my workplace who keep on worrying about their positions but i know my confidence and future is in the Lord. A few days ago, my manager actually came to me and mentioned that he wanted to ask for my extension before i go holiday. He wanted to put me to permanent but the system didnt allow him to do ...

Before i enter 2015 ,i have been asking myself and God. What am i lacking of ? What do i want to change in me in this new year ? What does God want in me? How can i improve myself to be more like Him?  It has always been on my foremind until today i finally received a revelation from God that is : more of Him and less of me Looking back to mid 2013 to end of 2014 i realise my main concern in my life has been all about me : my visa, my house, my job, etc. And i realise the more i look to fulfill my own needs the more i am not satisfied and contented. The more i feel i am lacking here and there and it is never ending. Up till yesterday when i went for running and spent some quiet time with God , God told me i need to strip off myself and focus on Him and His kingdom . He reminded me again whom He called blessed : Matius 5:3-11 NIV “Blessed are the poor in spirit,    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.     Blessed are those who mourn, ...

I really love the lyrics of this song . It is an indonesian song called : Hidupmu berharga bagi Allah meaning Your life is precious to God.
