Lazy Morning

This is Monday, after a not-so-productive weekend. I had long unorganized sleeps due to last week stress.

Okay. Go back to work.

The sun didn't come over my window this morning (so weird). I thought it was raining. It made me want to sleep some more...

Breakfast time!

p.s. It's embarrassing to read your own blog post again...

Quote

"Let God write your love story."
-Jackie Kendall

Woman of God

I don't know why. I am always touched and amazed by stories about woman who was bold and righteous before The Lord. This kind of story is just a minor portion of the bible. Maybe that's why they are so wonderful! (It's not easy to find one.)

There are:
  • Deborah, a prophet who was judging Israel (Judges 4: 1-10)
  • Jael, who killed Sisera on his escape from battle (Judges 4: 17-22)
  • Ruth, who was loyal to her family and found favor before The Lord (Ruth)
  • Hanna, who prayed patiently for a children and she gave birth to Samuel (1Samuel 1)
  • and so on... ^^.
They are so wonderful. I want to have a wife who like them. What a blessing from The Lord.

Solomon writes:
  • A wife of noble character is her husband's crown,
    but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. (Proverbs 12: 4)
  • The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
    and he receives favor from the Lord. (Proverbs 18: 22)
  • Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,
    but only the Lord can give an understanding wife. (Proverbs 19: 14)
  • Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
    She is more precious than rubies. (Proverbs 31: 10)
All glory to The Lord!

Cheers!

Morning thought

This morning. 6.30AM. I am still so sleepy. I watched some short videos on Youtube. Tried to wake myself up.

I love to lean my head against my desk lamp. I don't know why. It's just comfortable and peaceful.

I like to feel how dance move my body, if I have a chance.

I want to feel that I am not ready for a relationship, so I don't have to rush.

I love to love you...

Time, slow me down. Can you?

Romantic verse

My friend, Aan Mansyur, just posted a very nice verse. I don't want to loose it. So I post it here:


cinta serupa dengan laut
selalu ia terikat pada arus
setiap kali ombaknya bertarung
seperti tutur kata dalam hatimu
sebelum mendapat bibir yang mengucapkannya.

[cinta, Abdul Hadi Wm]



love is like sea
it always go with the stream
the waves fight all the time
like words in your heart
before they reach your lips and voiced out

[love, Abdul Hadi Wm]


Enjoy.

Thank God, life is complicated

Life is complicated. Yes, it's true. You know why? It is because The Creator's mind is far beyond our brain capability. We are just too limited to understand that. Life is (not complicated for him but it is just too) complicated for us.

Because it happens this way so it is easier for us to trust in God alone.

Because it is only when we trust God, he can work powerfully in our life and make it fruitful.

Like what written in 2 Corinthians 12: 9

Each time he (Jesus) said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Only when we are weak and cling to him, his power will powerfully work in our life.

Trust him with all your heart because "we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." (Romans 8: 28)

Life is complicated for our benefit, for his glory.

Embrace it. Live righteously.

Be blessed.

Open

How open is a blog should be?

I like to share a lot of things to people, such as: story, experience, knowledge, anything!

I like to share what I feel, how I think but I know that time is very limited and I would be great if I have something that is ready to capture me 24-7 even though if it's just a blog. At least I can embrace myself. At least people who are interested can read it.

But,

How open is a blog should be?

I am not a very private person. Yeah, many persons know my story, but yet, not anybody. I choose them. But I don't think it would be nice if this blog become private.

I don't mind thought to let you read this. But, planning for future is playing a big part in my brain. I just don't want to spoil the surprises I construct well in my mind for my friends.

(I am preparing something for valentine...)

In the mean time, my thesis is still going on. Glad to find myself very thoughtful in doing it. God always works wonderfully in my life. I don't want to miss a single chance!

Today, I bought 4 booklets by Hazel Lim, one of my favourite artists. They have very engaging words. Lovely.

Prayer

Lord,

guard my heart if I love her so much,
satisfy my heart if I miss her so much,
help my heart if I must wait for so long,

Amen.

Holidaeaey is finished! *burb..!*

People...! If someone never updates his/her blog for quite long time, you can assume that they stop blogging (even though it is just for a moment, sometimes). But if someone is repeating that cycle for a few times, it can be it just his/her her pace in blogging. So just accept it and wait and you can remind him/her to post more recent (with some force, maybe).

Okay. Holiday is over..! (Let’s shout it again with a sad face) Holiday is over..! I just got my schedule. Guest what! My class are just on Thursday and Friday.. Lalalala... Do you think this is fun? Wake up~! This is my final semester. So I will be working on my project everyday! (Yes, I am sure and working hard so it will be like what I type just now...)

Today was the first day for the college. The library was crowded. It has been so long after I saw that scene again. And I feel awkward surrounded by so many people in college because the holiday was quite a lonely period.

Tomorrow, there will be my first workshop for my dissertation. I must catch-up all delayed work. Please help me in prayer. I just read my friend book Fearless by Max Lucado. It is a very nice book that change you mindset about fear and how to overcome it. But in Singapore the book is out of stock. I have put a reservation for it. Just wait...

See you.
