Thanksgiving

Yippiee! It's almost Thanksgiving! It means that winter and Christmas are comingg! Lol.. -____-   Winter is my fav season over all seasons.. Even I can't bear cold weather at all, I still like it!! :p  However, before Christmas we always "celebrate" Thanksgiving day the first.. hehe.. It's quite funny for me when we need to be thankful everyday, yet we still have the exact day to be thankful.. >___<

Well, speaking about thanksgiving, I like Thanksgiving day too.. Because it's reminding me that I have been receiving sooooo manyyy blessing, mercy and grace from Him.. Even I have broken His heart for many times, He still loves me unconditionally.. Kyaaa! So, this time I just want to be thankful to Him.. :p

I have been blessed for 24 years, and still I haven't enough to thank Him.. I will never ever enough to give thanks because His blessing is never stop! Well, even He pours me with His blessing, mercy and grace, it doesn't mean that I don't have to face any trouble or circumstance.. lol.. A quotation from "Fireproof" film, "fireproof doesn't mean that fire will not come".. Ouch! When I watched that movie, I realized that as a Christian I am granted a salvation from Him, but it doesn't mean that I will free from any problems and I can live freely.. I am not! But as He promised, He will give us the crown of life..

"Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. 
Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, 
and you will have tribulation ten days. 
Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."
--Revelations 2:10

Awww.. He will never ever forget His promise because He is faithful :D  On this Thanksgiving, I just want to thank Him for everything that He has done in my life, what he has given to me.. I want to thank Him for the family I have, friends and community, for the chances to repent, for the forgiveness, for the honor to serve the King of kings, also for the talents that He grants me.. Aww.. So many things to be thanked! >___<  But, after all, I want to thank Him for His sacrifice at the cross for me.. I will never be able to pay it back.. Never!

Soooo.. During this Thanksgiving, let's us counting His blessing! I believe that you all have a bunch of His gifts too.. Let's count them and be grateful! But, don't forget to do it everyday.. lol.. All glory to the Lord! Amen :D

Jesus, Take The Wheel

I've found this great song.. It's all about surrender to the Lord.. :)

"Jesus Take The Wheel"

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline

It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

she was going way too fast

Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was so scared

She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder

And the car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time

She bowed her head to pray

She said I'm sorry for the way

I've been living my life

I know I've got to change

So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

Oh I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

From this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

Oh take it take it from me

Melayani Dengan Apa yang Kita Punya

Ga ada manusia yang sempurna. Setuju? Yup.. Kalo semua sempurna, ayo monggo cubit2 pipimu, make sure that u're still alive.. hehehehe.. Ga ada yang sempurna di dunia ini n ga akan pernah sempurna, yang sempurna cuma Tuhan aja.. Masing2 kita punya kelebihan dan kelemahan, tergantung gimana kita mao menyikapi semua itu.. hehe.. Misal, ada orang yang bego banget di bidang science, tapi dy jago di art.. (gw contohnya.. lol.. meski gw belum jago in art, tp ya better lah daripada lo kasih gw science thingy.. gw bisa paralyzed.. huahahaha..) Nah sekarang depends sama orang itu sendiri (in this case, gw.. hehe..), gimana gw mao nilai diri gw sendiri.. Mao terus berkarya di bidang art, n belajar di bidang science.. Ato gw merasa "cukup" aja sama ke-dodol-an gw di bidang science.. hehehe..


Sama hal'nya di dalam pelayanan.. Karena manusia tuh ga ada yang sempurna, jadi kalo kita diminta pelayanan, jangan sampe jawabnya begini "oh ntar aja pak/buk, saya masih banyak dosa.. masih belum layak melayani Tuhan.." Helooww.. Kalo manusia ga ada yang sempurna n ga akan perna sempurna, ntu berarti kita ga bakalan perna melayani dunks? Jangan pernah mikir begitu! Itu hasutan iblis.. I was like that tho! Serius.. But, Tuhan ingetin kalo Dy memanggil kita bukan karena kelebihan kita, melainkan karena kekurangan kita.. Tuhan dateng buat kita yang penuh dosa, bukan buat orang yang ga berdosa.. Secara ga ada orang yang ga berdosa di dunia ini, jadi inti'ny Tuhan dateng buat kita semua.. Buat gw n lo semua.. :)

 "Bukan orang sehat yang memerlukan tabib, tetapi orang sakit; Aku datang bukan untuk memanggil orang benar, melainkan orang berdosa." -Markus 2:17

Jadi, kalo kita mikir Tuhan ga akan memperhitungkan pelayanan kita karena kita masih berdosa n belum layak melayani, itu SALAH BESAR! Jangan dengerin hasutan iblis jelek deh.. hehehe.. Dulu gw mikirnya.. "Wahh mendingan gw ga pelayanan dulu lah.. Gw masih banyak dosa begini koq malah pelayanan.. Nambah2in dosa aje.." Jiaahh.. Thanks God kalo akhirnya Dy kasi gw Markus 2:17.. hehehe.. Dari situ gw sadar kalo Tuhan mao gw apa ada'nya.. Dy tau setiap kelemahan n kelebihan gw, n Dy mao terima gw apa adan'ya.. Tapi bukan berarti kalo kita punya sikap jelek, tetep kita pelihara sampe mati loh.. Bukan gitu.. hahaha.. Dy mao n sanggup ubahin kita, asal kita'nya mao diubahkan.. Well, gw juga sedang berproses-proses ria neh.. heheheh.. Masi buanyaakk attitude2 gw yg harus dipoles sama big Daddy.. :p   Yah yang pasti, kita kudu terbuka ma Tuhan n terima setiap pembentukanNya.. Ngomong2 tentang pembentukanNya, gw uda perna sharing tuh di "Peleburan Api." hehehe.. Nahh, karena (sekali lagi) kaga ada manusia yang perfect, n that's why we need Jesus.. We need Him sooo baddd.. We need His mercy n grace..

"Akulah jalan dan kebenaran dan hidup. Tidak ada seorangpun yang datang kepada Bapa, kalau tidak melalui Aku." -Yohanes 14:6

Nah kan? Inti'nya kita ga akan lepas dari kelemahan n kekurangan kita karena kita ini waaaaayyyyy far from perfect.. Is that means kalo kita ga akan perna qualified buat pelayanan? Sama sekali ga bener! That's why we need Him soo badddd!! Kalo ada yang bilang ga perlu Tuhan, ya monggo2 aja.. hehehe.. Kalo eke seh  kaga bisa :p  Well, sebenernya setiap masing2 kita udah dapet panggilan loh, sekarang depends dari kita sendiri.. Apa kita mao terima panggilan Tuhan itu? Pilihan ada di tangan kita.. Jangan sampe apa yg eternal kita tukar dengan sesuatu yang temporary.. Hehe.. Juga, karena gw nulis ini, it doesn't mean kalo gw fine2 aje dalem pelayanan.. hehehe.. Gw mah juga sama aja, ada kala'nya gw cape, uda ga tahan n pingin nyerah.. But, He keeps reminding me His process for me.. Reminding me the promises I made to Him.. Huhuhu.. Kalo dah gitu, ga jadi nyerah dah.. hahaha.. Gw pingin, sumday kalo gw ketemu face-to-face with Him, He will say, "good job My daughter.." Kyaaa.. >___<


Jadii, kalo sekarang ada yang lagi ngerasa cape ma pelayanan, ngerasa ga worth n pingin mundur.. Jangan dulu yup! Inget Bapa kita yang udah nunggu kita bertahun2 lamanya buat kita berbalik ke Dy.. Inget kasihNya.. Inget semua kebaikan2 yang sudah Dy bagiin ke kita.. Itung berkatNya satu2.. Kita kaga akan pernah bisa bayar itu semua.. Karena we have nothing.. Cuma freewill n obedience yang kita punya.. Maka itu, pake freewill kita bae2.. N jangan sampe pilihan2 kita, ngecewain Dy.. :)  Be strong yah! Jangan lelah bekerja di ladangNya Tuhan.. Roh Kudus yang beri kekuatan.... *nyanyi.. heheheh..*  However, calm sea will never made a skillful mariner.. God bless.. :)

“Karena itu, saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, berdirilah teguh, jangan goyah, dan giatlah selalu dalam pekerjaan Tuhan! Sebab kamu tahu, bahwa dalam persekutuan dengan Tuhan jerih payahmu tidak sia-sia.” 

-1 Korintus 15:58

P.S., ini video selalu give me strength when I'm down.. hehehe.. Meskipun gw uda nontonin bbrp kali, I always can't hold my tears when I watch it.. *serius! kaga lebay loh ini.. haha..* Hope this video also gives u a strength.. Keep ur spirit up!! :D
