Money Vs God

Chinese New Year is a time when family comes together and celebrate a new beginning of the year. Its a reunion. For some, Chinese New Year is a time of spending and also paying all the old debts. Money Money Money as usual.

I had some struggle at work. Client has delayed our payment and so I had to delay payment to suppliers. I can't even pay myself. It was very challenging and the whole time, I am just thinking how to settle this and that.

I couldn't take it one day and was feeling super depressed the whole morning. After a whole day of facing suppliers and answerable to their payment, I came home all down and broken. I cried. Cried and cried. And I couldn't stop. I kept asking God why did He allow all that to happen to me? Why? Why?...The crying couldn't stop and I decided to talk to someone but I don't know who. So I randomly called someone who answered his call unexpectedly.

It truly worked for a while as I was distracted by the conversation and ended the conversation having the both of us laughing. I ended the call with soothing heart and I prayed that night. I told God that I am not gonna think about it anymore and just for Him to take care of the situation for me.

The next morning, I went to work as usual. But I did everything constructively. And managed to work on these bad debts that others are owing. Even though I know they couldn't pay me immediately, I was hopeful. I prayed. True enough pay came in slowly...not a lot but good enough. I just praise Lord for providing without asking. I praise Lord for giving when is needed. He is amazing. AMEN!

NOT SURE HOW?

"I played with you in the night and think about you in the day.

I load you with lot of games and protect you with a bag.

Yes, you are my entertainment everyday that even Entertainment News Channel can't take me away. Hahaha.

I love you, Ipod Touchy for you have accompany me all the way~!"

Listening in different language

I attended Bahasa Service today. Tats was the drummer. Amazing service. The group was small maybe around 20pax but Holy Spirit just filled in that room that moved my heart. A few times during praise and worship, I could feel that my heart was pumping.

I had a hard time understand what Pastor Yayah was sharing. I guess I was totally "lost in translation" situation. Thank God, my Nokia has a Indonesian to English dictionary and look up the key words. It was a very basic massage about God's love and how as a Christian we should carry our attitude toward our lives. AMAZING.

You know the amazing part about attending a "Foreign" language was that we just concentrate on the body language and the key words. Like a Puzzle, we are just putting everything together. And at the end of the day, I asked Tats was it what all the sermon about? And he said YES. God just want me to pay attention and listen what He want me to understand. I am BLESSED.

And through this experience, I realised that perhaps God is equipping me for Mission work this year. I need to get used to foreign language such as Indonesian. So that I am able to widen my horizon. 2011 will be a meaningful year for me. I have decided to do more mission work and charity to give Glory to our Lord.

God is wonderful and definitely has a bigger plan for me. AMEN!

RE: LIFE

This morning I woke up at 6am to church. It was a 2 hours service. Honestly I was very sleepy but there was an interesting word of wisdom from Pastor today:

"Life is not about you surviving through a storm but its about you dancing in the rain...." WOW~! Yeah! Its true. We always talked about how bad life is and how we struggled through the difficulties but it wasn't about all that? It was truly about how u can enjoyed yourself even there were difficulties in life.
