the best one

the great exchange:

i exchange my weariness for His strength, my weakness for His power, my darkness for His light, my problems for His solutions, my burdens for His freedom, my frustrations for His peace, my turmoil for His calm, my hopes for His promises, my afflictions for His balm of comforts, my questions for His answers, my confusion for His knowledge, my doubt for His assurance, my nothingness for His awesomeness, the temporal for the eternal, and impossible for the possible! ( a book by elizabeth george )

wow. it was so touching when i read up this sentences. i felt like, im the luckiest one. maybe it couldn’t called as a great exchange, but the best exchange.

love,

my extraordinary holiday =)

well, holiday isn’t coming yet, but the atmosphere of holiday is like the air around me =) hmh the next two weeks are my exam season as well, maybe its sounds weird, but im so excited for this (really!) hahaha.. excited to get my best score and G.P.A (IP) and welcoming my big and extraordinary holiday!

no special event, big vacation, or bright planning, but i feel like, something big will happen in my holiday! time flies so fast, and its been 1 years since i had decided to flowing and fulfill my life in here, settle down with any other stuff and my only hope about God’s present in my life, and there’s still a lot of things that i think it will hardly to through it, but in fact, it went hardly but smooth with God by my side =) and im find it now, im preparing to face the next big things what is God given to me.

over 3-6 month ago, till now, its a hard time for my family, specifically to our financial condition. like there’s a stuff going on, and we just can’t do nothing beside wait. through this hardest time, i had to trying be thankful in any conditions. and believe me, be thankful when the hardest thing’s going on is harder that u think. but that’s the challenge, and still think firm, that is all from GOD.

so, what can i do? well, i decide to preparing my big and extraordinary holiday, without knowing, what will happen on the next, but one thing for sure, that God always in here, strengthened me and holding me through all these things.

so, what things that we still fear for? if you’re going to live by faith, you’re going to have to take some risk, in some situations, you’ll wonder if God is going to come true. but im believing, where God guides, God provides.

my extraordinary holiday’s list to do :

^ writing and finishing my book ( my big dream haha )

^ helping and support my family all the way

^ keep be a blessing wherever and wherever i am

and i believe, this short to-do list will be a great things to complete my extraordinary holiday =)

whoever u are, ” and my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious richest in christ Jesus.”

GBU

open-up ur heart

a couple of days after my 20th birthday, i was thinking about my future n prayer that i prayed for. basically, it wasn’t far of my fam, my friends, my study, planning in a years later ( married, maybe? haha ) and my ministry.

and one questions just suddenly popped-up in my heart, are those really a things that i want in my life? and my answers directly came up in a second, absolutely Lord, so givin’ to me!

but i know, its not about God hasn’t capable of giving all those things or its not about God hasn’t enough time to answer or follow up my prayer, but how much n far u want those things? and r u that ready to receives that?

i looked up my self with full of shame feelin’, like a child breaking up her mommy’s antique guci, n find out that im totally no effort for that.

i wasn’t just begin praying, His words taught me to open up my heart as big as world. it’s repairing me day by day to keep my heart n soul free of things that God dislike. i had learned how to giving when u r not capable of, n i’d learned to accept all the things that i thought that i can’t handle to. but in fact, all those things just came into me smoothly without compromise, n liked i just could yelling to God at first time. but God just answered me back with one open-minded words : open-up ur heart, my child. see what u never seen before, and feel what u never felt before, so u will receive what u prayed for, n what i’d prepared for u.

i went to bathroom to wash my foot, n back to my room, sitting up powerless, kneels on my comfy springbed n begin talked to God. hopefully got a specifics answers how to open up my heart gently.

thank God, the answer always not come in easy way, but hardly n sure. so i learned it n take it deeply into my real life.

giving and accept gently…

so u will receive the things that u r prayed for..

it’s just not depend on ur effort, or how often u pray for that, its about r u ready about anything that God has prepared for u, even the bad ones.. so just open up ur heart, n u will receive the good ones also. =)
