Life is Such As A journey

Life is such as a journey.

We have to walk through this journey and head for a certain destination. Many things we've got to encounter in this journey. Some things are easy and some are pretty hard. Many things have just been unpredictable to us. We can't annoying it and keep walking instead, no. We must be put our focus on everything happens in our very own journey.

Well, we are heading for a certain purpose. Sometimes we know it pretty well, but there were times we were lost. Couldn't find the clue the universe has provided. Well, especially in receiving God's blessing. We like to think that everything will be going all right. That everything is okay. That we don't need to do something to gain it. It would be blessed for us freely, we guess. Even we use to take it for granted, don't we?

After all, we have to do something in our journey. We can't just take a sit, shut down and wait for something great. Nothing's gonna be happening then. We have to rise up, stand up and move, doing something good for our life. We don't want to be such as common people, do we? We don't want to live a common life. Each of us do want to be having an especially fabulous wonderful life.... or that sort of thing! (Don't we???)

And to reach that purpose, there's no other way but paying the price. No matter how much it costs, we still have to pay it. We shouldn't loose any chance to gain a better level in our life. And the chances often comes hard. Uneasy. Painful. Through all the difficulties. Need a profound contemplation. Apparently it seems so hard to be reached, too far away to be approached, too high to be climbed, too heavy to be burdened. But, it wouldn't change the fact we have to face. Anyway, we still need to pay the price. We have to pay the price for everything we do as well as for anything we don't. Ough, seems unfair..

So, instead of take a sit, let's take a move. Let's do something good in this short life!
Besides, we do need to face the feeling hurt. To face the irritating thing. To be painful may be the best way we have to walk through. But it's okay. Keep walking. Don't ever stop or terminate your journey. It'd be useful for your spiritual growth, it'd be strengthening your bones, your nerves and particular muscle in your spiritual body. You'll get immune by then! Faint and disappointments apparently have been becoming a particular way for God's children in living their life so far..

And, if we didn't want to take the responsibility, we'll never get any reward nor blessing from the heaven above. We wouldn't get anything either from this life. Maybe, He created us for such a time like this.. Don't care about what people say. They might be wrong. They might be rude or whatever the problem they were facing. But for us, we have to keep faithful. Keep walking. Keep struggling. And don't be surrendered. We have the power we need to make this war inside already .

So, face it. Face up to your challenges. Face up to your problem. Face up to your giants. Scratch it's face and let's shout 'We'll face you and we'll win this game'. We'll get arrived safe and secure at the point we are heading for someday.

If we keep walking.
Don't ever be surrender but trust in The Lord and cast all your cares upon Him.

Let's make our journey forward...

My Prayer (Again)

Tuhan,

Ajari aku mengasihi tiap orang sebagaimana diri mereka adanya, bukan seperti yang kuinginkan,
karena bagaimanapun aku tahu bahwa Engkaulah yang menaruh mereka di dalam jalanKu.
Kadang aku nggak mampu, kadang bete, kadang sebeeeel liat orang-orang yang nggak sepaham denganku.

Tapi masalahnya adalah, bagaimanapun, mereka adalah ciptaanMu, sama seperti aku juga, yang penuh dengan kekurangan dan belum sempurna.

Seperti Engkau mengasihi mereka semua, ajari aku untuk mengasihi tiap orang dan menerima diri mereka apa adanya tanpa tuntutan-tuntutan yang terlalu tinggi, yang aku tahu hanya akan berakhir dengan kekecewaan.

Terima kasih sudah menjadi Allahku, yang mengasihi dan menerimaku apa adanya, menaruh sentuhan pribadiMu yang unik dalam diriku, bahkan memberikan segala yang terbaik dalam hidupku. Tanpa Engkau aku pun bukan siapa-siapa.

Jangan biarkan segala kekecewaan dari masa lalu menawanku lagi, Tuhan. Aku mau melepaskan segala yang ada di belakangku dan memandang pada hari depan yang cerah yang telah Kau sediakan bagiku, karena aku tahu pasti, janjiMu ya dan amen.

Kiranya Engkau berkenan memakai hidupku jadi saluran berkatMu yang besar, sama seperti Engkau telah menjadikanku karya besarMu.

Jadilah kehendakMu.

Amen.

I've Decided

I've decided . . .
to respect other people such as I do to myself
to search goodness and not fault from others
to feel secure about myself so I wouldn't feel bad to anyone else if they do something better than me
to do anything I should do in my life
to make not excuses
to emphasize my values on love, integrity, charity, and every such a right thing!
to be an example of goodness (as well as possible!)
to serve rather than pursuing something unreal out there
to build my dream and realize it as well as God has given it in my deepest soul
to see the beauty of life
to be grateful all the time
to love anyone who's worth it
to catch goodness in all of the bad stuff I encounter
to be faithful to the path I should stick to/do belong to
to do the best I can
to make happiness for my environment
to love God and His Words
to give likewise to get
to forgive instead of blaming
to make this world better
to make difference
I have decided.

Dear Almighty God

Dear Almighty God,

Thank You for Your guidance through my ongoing process in life. Without You I'll be lost anywhere.

Lord, please teach me to always be thankful for all You've done in me. Many things happen. Good and bad. Easy and hard. Happy and sad. Awesome and disappointing. But I believe, behind all of those, You are there, and always be there for me. Your hands are working to make a goodness for me.

I've desired to be closer and closer to You but unfortunately I couldn't.. I did many distractions before You, even there were times I didn't trust You seriously, I walked away from You, I did many trespass before You.

What a sinner I was!

But, why Lord, You always be there for me?

Your love and Your faithfulness are always be with me, protect me, remind me about Your eternal salvation. Wherever I flee from You, You'd search and find me. Over and over again. How I awe You, Lord. I do owe You much!

Oh, my heart is longing for You, Lord. Bless me, encourage me, fill out my thirsty with Your water of life. I need Your help. I'm really devastating, empty, nothing.... But I know for sure You are able to turn my situation for good.

Let Thy will be done.

Amen.

Just A Prayer

My Dear Lord,

Burn me with the fire of Your love. May Your fire warm my soul.

Don't let me die in this cold, cold world.

Lord, I'm really never knew what would be Your design for my future, but why do I feel that it would be so amazing ones?

Oh my Great Lord, I am really unworth to stand here, asking You that question..

Your greatness rule over the sky, over the sun, moon and all of the stars. But, why, Lord, You take me so precious? Who the hell I am!

For I am as grass, and the glory of me as the flower of grass.

My life is as shadow, as a blooming flower, with no long life in it.

For what is my life?

It's even a vapour, that appeared for a little time, and then vanished away

Who am I, that You are mindful of me?

Who am I that You visit me anytime You want to?

Nothing should I proud of before You, Lord, nothing I do has really pleased You actually, but You still do look at me, abundant me with Your love and mercy, support me, accomplish Your great work in me, and hide me behind Your cross.

Please, Lord, hold me tight, take me into Your embrace, grasp me.

how I love Thee, my strength.

Be Thou exalted, o God, above the heavens, let Thy glory be above all the earth..

Amen.

IF

If the cheerfulness of childhood has gone

If the glorious of youth has broken

And if the spirit of boldness has been vanished away

Only you and your situation remain

What would you do?

If the people surround you

Who've always been supporting for years be gone

If your situation seems to be worse

If you have nothing to do anymore

Only your soul remain

What would you do?

If there's nobody out there

If there wouldn't be any help

If there's no spirit even more

Only you and you alone left

What would you do?

If the spirit crashes

If your heart be broken

If your vision has to be faded away

Everything seems to be blurred.

Dark. Empty. Zero. Nothing.

What would you do?

What should you do?

I Have Decided

(An Answer for A Note To The Self)

No.

I have decided to do something

New and better. Wiser. Useful. Important.

I don't want to waste my life

As long as I have time for me to live,

I'll live a worth living life

I'd rather do something hurt myself but useful, than just nice but nothing

I know it's not easy

Even, it could be so hard.

Is it really a good choice?

Probably no, but wise one.

I won't that someday I'd be woke up and realized that I definitely have done nothing.

I want to add something good to the world.

By accumulating it little by little,

One step at a time.

May be just doing a simple thing

One doesn't care

But it doesn't really matter.

My focus is not about what people say.

Whether they'll be pleased or not, it's not of my business at all!

As long as I do anything good.

Why should be afraid of something that haven't realized yet?

I'll look at my future boldly, with determined soul

And challenge myself to do it by myself

With The Lord who'll always be strengthening me

I have decided.

It Is The Time

(A Note To The Self)

It is the time to start over something new

It is the time to stand up

To arise and shine

It is the time to move

To make a difference

It is the time to do something indeed

Something useful and important

It is the time to find the path

The journey we have to pass through

It is the time to challenge yourself

It is the time not to wait for any longer

And see whether there'd be somebody out there

More in experience, more in wisdom (should be!)

That older, wiser and smarter enough

Cause there'd be nobody!

Only you and the situation remain

What shall you do?

If there's nobody to be count on

Nobody to be asked for

Nobody to be blamed

Or nobody to be helpful

Only you alone

Is it the time to be just quiet

And shut down yourself?

Is it the right time for it?

Or is it the time to make mistake

Again?

what is life supposed to be

That was not our will to be born. Was not our will also to be exist on this earth. But, our life is supposed to be something. How come? I don't understand. Sometimes I do walk and walk and walk, but have just found anything about the meaning of my life. My vision was faded. Blur. Almost dark. Like being in a dark night with no moon and the stars in the sky above. There's no sign. No warning. No description that could explain us to be such a something, or any clue that point to where would our journey has to head for. No, nothing at all.
Yeah, one say, just wait for The Lord's will; but how it supposed to? Do the world has too many signs to be watched for, don't it?
Many things have made me confused along this way. Can't think anymore. My mind is messy. Chaos. Have nothing inside.
Well, back to the question, what is our life supposed to be? Can't you please answer my question? How could we then becoming a pattern for one without nobody to give us some? No, I can't stand that way. I can't. I'm unable. I'm so weak. Even have no power to think at all. I'm out of my mind. Can't control what would to act, what should my behavior to becoming, Even, I would haven't known who I used to be eventually.
Oh my goodness.. I'm devastating. Desperate. Distress.
Lord, in my circumstance, please, do incline Your ear upon my prayer. I beg to You. Don't throw me away. I'm scared. I'm just afraid to be so far from You but also too embarrassed to be closer.
I'm a sinner.
I'm none.
Empty.
Oh, I don't know what to do, Lord.
Can hardly wait to know what's my life supposed to be...

Check out my Slide Show!

My Prayer

Lord, I don't want to skip anything in my life

Whether it good or bad, nice or hurt, I won't pass anything.

If those bad things do come from You, I'll face it.

If You send me the disappointment stuff, or griefs, or yeah, You know, all of bad thingds to be encountered, I'll also face it, too.

If it would build me up, if it would strengthen me, lighten me, or show me more of Thy pathway, why not?

I'll face it as You want to.

I'll be not affraid nor be worry

For I know You'll always be with me.

Guide me, Lord, bless me, take my hands, encourage me, love me, accept me just the way I am, even plan me the best design for my future.

I know that such a best plan awaits me next if I do walk with Thee.

So Lord, please, take the lead

Through this journey You direct me to

I'll be secure in Your hands..

IF THE HARDSHIP WAS A CERTAIN SITUATION

If the hardship was a certain situation

You have to encounter

By permission of your God

So you have to face it up

Don't be back off

Neither take the turning move

You won't be arrived anywhere

No matter how noble was

The destination you had been heading to

If the hardship was a certain situation

For 'the one and only one'

You alone have to struggle

None stays for you

So you have to keep fighting

For none could ever attained glory

Without persistance in struggling

It's a certain war you deserve

It's a struggle you're worth it

That 'll bring you out into the destination

You'd been destined to

What've you been searching for?

All of those are gathering up there

Await you right now

So make your war

For every single day of your life counts

To encloser you to reach those all up

Keep straight forward!
