Oh mine, I feel heavy. I am heavy. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I’ve been gaining weight since the end of 2008 – OK, this is the time to stop blaming my AD trip to cause this weight problem. But somehow it’s true, it started there and I couldn’t seem to stop
I just received a call yesterday from my church choir coordinator (err, what’s your position actually, Angky?) He asked me whether I can join the Monday practice – means joining ROS (Reformed Oratorio Society). I almost forgot to breath and started to giggle (my famous reaction whenever I get nervous).
Before my praying time last night, I took my Bible and was led to open Jeremiah 23. I’m currently having some dilemma about my job so before I opened the Bible, I had expected to find some encouragement for me as I had planned to have a discussion with my
I took a bus and not MRT to office this morning. I found that though it takes longer time to reach my office, but I’ll always get a seat in the bus, so I could use my commuting time by having some rest while I listen to the sermons from
A short rhyme from John Piper’s poem about Hosea and Gomer caught my attention: Think not, my son, that God’s great riverOf love flows simply to the sea,He aims not straight, but to deliverThe wayward soul like you and me.Follow the current where it goes,With love and grace it ever
There were times in my life, when I got misunderstood by others; I wished that someone would stand up for me. Saying things to defend me, things that I can’t speak on my own. Maybe I’ve watched too many Disney’s fairy-tales – because the wish never came true. The prince
It takes me a lot of courage to say I’m sorry, but it takes even more courage to openly admit that I’m hurt or disappointed by others (and then forgive them). My standard procedure when I’m hurt (seriously) is smiling, say nothing, going away, and crying alone. I rarely reply
This morning as I gazed outside my window, I saw a middle-aged lady walking out the HDB complex. It was not too early, about 7.30 AM, but surely she has woken up this morning much earlier than me, because she was already on her way to office when I was
(One week late edition) I saw one last night, a very bright star, close to the moon. (My Google research told me that it’s probably another planet like Venus or Jupiter – but for me, it’s a star). Since I was a little girl, the sky always fascinated me. I
It’s just crossed my mind – about loving someone, and what is the best means to measure it. It’s natural to expect someone you like (or you love) to feel the same way with you. And when you don’t get the expected response, it’s just human to feel sad and
I cried a bit last night while I was talking to my Mom. I told her I really feel uncertain, and though I’ve tried my best to be strong and always look happy, but deep inside I really feel scared. I told her, that in too many times I think
(a belated posting from April 22nd, 2010) Ada kegiatan apa aja nih? 😉 bike to work? ;p hehehe berkebun? dll?anyway … HAPPY EARTH DAY !!! I just received that email in my inbox today. Can’t stop myself from producing a smile (though a bit sad one) in reading it. It
In my Bible reading today I came into this verse – which is very well-known to all Christian: No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both
As I received a not so good SMS last night, I thought, “Gosh, what now?” I didn’t reply to the message immediately, because I really don’t know what to say. I wanted to curse, I wanted to give terrible advice, I even expected one to happen since I really couldn’t
As I was downloading some number of Christian e-books to read and study, I somehow felt intimidated by the number of the books – and for sure the number of pages I’m going to study. I was having my break, trying to figure when will be the best time to
After taking time in my recovery for more than one month, I still don’t feel fit enough to do anything, other than going to office and do small amount of household chores. It feels like my life has been trimmed down to less than half of its size. Regrettably this
I came across this article today Yosef: I am a heroin user, not a criminal , and thinking how far the truth is being twisted these days. When doing something wrong (against the law) doesn’t make you a criminal (as long as you don’t harm anyone but yourself), is doing
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 It’s not easy to have a perfect peace, when we have so many ‘not right, not complete, not perfect’ things in our life – or in our mind. The endless
Catching up with my daily devotional on 9th January 2010: Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:23, New King James Version It was a dreadful moment,
The title in English: it’s not that I don’t believe, but I can’t do anything about it. I’m 31 years old and single. It’s a good combination to anticipate a lot of curiosity from family and friends why I’m still single at this time. Some of them asked out of
