Burnt Out

Pretty Fire Extinguishers.

Have been a fan of her beauty.

Looking for a future spouse who looks like this. LOL.
But beauty without good character is zero.
So yeah, gotta pray like really hard, to get the perfect combination of physical and spiritual beauty.

No Boundaries - Kris Allen

I have been very very very (zillion of very(s)) busy lately!!
A lot of thing happened
But I dont have the time to update or post it here. Sigh.

But this is something to represent what's been happening to me lately.

A cool song from Kris Allen, "No Boundaries".
It has powerful lyrics!

------

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you lost your way

And what if my chances were already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

So hear I am - still holding on!

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe it's harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

There are no boundaries!

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today as good as it gets
Don't know what the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am - still holding on!

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there’s nothing between you and your dreams

Quote of the Day

"Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!"

- Proverbs -

------------

We do not have to use gifts or money to buy our way into any situation when we have God's favor, He will make room for us.

First Sunday in June

As usual have a blast and blessed Sunday.

Church.

Great sermon from Ps Jose Carol, "Who's In Control" part.2

Friends.

Pizza e Birra.

Pascal's patisserie ( I dunno how to spell it).

Starbucks.



And this is me and Elbert, again, trying to annoy Hera, by taking picture with Monmon.

Guhreat Saturd Nite

Had a really great Saturday nite wif a bunch of friends.
My blenders' friends.

Well actually, we planned to have our Dudes Nite Out.
But then Tya annoyingly begged to join us.
As a gentlemen we couldn't say no, could we??

So we went to Poste @ The East building, Mega Kuningan.
Astrid also came along joining us.







Mr. Muscle, Edwin Tirta haha.



The birthday boy, Iris.



The preacher, Wfu with Tya.



This is when me and Elbert had the idea to make Hera envy for not being there with us.
So we asked Tya to take picture with us.
We still missing you regardless Hera.
But for now, you are so err.. replaceable, ahhahaha, joke! (read that as irreplaceable! lol)



After Poste, we moved to Blok S, and had our very late supper.



Momski Astrid with her so-called, "Bakso Berondong".
Nothin beats the experience of eating Bakso accompanied by two berondongs, Edwin and Jeffrey, right momski? Lol.



This is when the preacher gone wild. Hahaha.

Grateful for these awesome friends.

NEW day - 669

Yeayyy, grateful for 669
my NEW day!

Move But Wait, Wait But Move

Hey guys,

Thanks for your willingness for checking out this blog every once in a while.

Been very busy lately.
Thesis. Works. Ministries.
All collided into one.
Trying to live a well-balanced life, with a very good time management.

Anyway.

I shud be doing my articles.
But, I dropped here instead.
Writing.
This.

I have been getting the same message lately.
I've been told to MOVE.
But also at the same time to WAIT.

Haha, controversial i know.

I've been told to take a step.
Out of the comfort zone.
But in the other area of my life, I've been told to stop my step and wait.

And there's nothing I could do, but obey.

Both doesn't feel good.
Moving out from a comfort zone doesn't feel good.
Especially if you have to move from the start again.
But I don't mind doing something back from the start again.
Because I know the context is on the higher level.

Waiting also doesn't feel good.

Both activities force me to exercise my faith and hope.
When I move, I exercise my faith, increase my hope.
When I wait, I also exercise my faith and increase my hope.

What funny is, one of my friend is kinda experiencing the same thing with me.
So I have a comrade.
It feels good knowing that you are not walking alone.
Knowing that you have a friend who says, "Me, too."

Hmmm....

Gotta go back to my unfinished articles.

I'm gonna enjoy this moving but waiting, and waiting but moving season.

Thanks for reading once again.

Waiting Patiently

I ran quite fast
Really fast to reach a point

But He tells me to slow down
Even stop
And wait

I sighed

A slight feeling of disappointment tickled me

Why waiting again?
What is it that You want me to learn
I thought I passed Your test

I grumbled

He said, "No, I want you to feel time
If you can feel it, how every second counts, you will appreciate it
You will not take it for granted"

I looked down

I tried to argue, keeping my voice from trembling

You know I don't like this
I'm an early adapter, I don't like to be the last one
I feel so left out
I hate to hear people talking about something that I missed
Because normally I always the one who tells them what they missed
I'm very good at knowing the latest trend, the latest infos, the latest updates, the latest news
I just simply don't like it
I didn't even want to reach that point at first
You are the one who made me feel excited to reach it
But now, as I'm running for it, You want me to stop
I can't understand You

I kept on grumbling, like a kid
Like an immature person

He knelt down, looked me in the eye
Then calmly He spoke

"But this is not about what you like, and what you don't like
Nor this is about what you want to feel, and what you don't want to feel
You're an agent here, a tiny part of this huge and complex team
I want you to learn not to do anything based on your plan
You are going to the next level, bare with it
It's worth the wait"

He stood up and offered His hand

"Now come on, hold My hand, walk with Me slowly
I want you to learn more about Me, before you arrive there"

I looked up
Grabbed His hand
And walked slowly

I whispered

I'm sorry
I'm going to the next level
I want to learn
This is not about me, this is about You
This is not about my plan, this is about Yours
It has to be less of me, and more of You
It's worth the wait
Because the glory belongs to You, for everything that You have done



So here I am, standing, waiting for my train to come
