Faith Journey

This is a random thought of me that I think it is a little bit useful to share hahaha.

I met my cousins yesterday and we had a good conversation along the time. He told me about his wife's culture which tends to eat dogs. For your information, I have my beloved dog, which I get from my cousin's wife I told the previous sentences.

Then suddenly I think, maybe if Boy (my dog's name) is not given to me, it probably will be eaten too by my cousin's family. And don't you  think that we may have a similar fate to my own dog? We were actually under the punishment, if God was not that tolerant by giving His only Son to redeem us?

When I sincerely adopt Boy, I do not expect that he could catch all of the rats in my home or helping me out to earn money by its intelligence. Just enough for me to watch him running, playing, eating it has already made my day.

Don't you think that by saving us, God does not expect us to inherit all of the worldly material, popularity, position, and etc (though I don't deny that all of them are formed of God's blessings to us). But more than that, God just wants us to ENJOY our life with Him as what He said (1 Corinthians 10:31) So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

What I mean here, I don't say that we don't have to be ambitious to catch our dreams, on the other hand I want to emphasize that through the journey we are at, God concerns more on the process than the result. I believe a person has ability to accomplish something at office, or doing the house stuff, but God wants you to put your heart into whatever you do.

I think just like as parents to their children; nothing is more happier than seeing their children are grateful with what they have gotten from their parents.  

This is the cute story of Jesus and me on last Christmas!

In January 2019 my colleagues and I celebrated Christmas at office and it got me to home a little bit night than usual. Well of course for some Indonesians maybe it's not as strange thing to get home midnight from the office, however my track from the office to my house isn't that safe; the street lighting is quite dimmed & evolved very little, right of the street is large river and left of the street is rice fields, so can you imagine a woman riding motorcycle alone passed through that street ? hha

Ah yes at that moment I did not have internet quota nor phone credit, so I was little bit worried that something happened to me or my motorcycle because I did not have a companion friend to go home together.

And this is the cutest thing. Bad things that I have thought really happened to me. When I was riding my motorcycle, I was feeling that there was something wrong with it. Its speed was running slower and slower and yes viola my motorbike chain was detached. I thought I would push it all alone until I met a garage to fix it, on the other hand I was also scared cause it was night and I could not call my family to help me cause I was running out of my phone credit.

But it is!! when you consider Jesus as your boyfriend, father, best-friend, He really meant it! HAHA.. He would take care of you even when you can't see Him directly. So, my motorcycle finally stopped, stopped exactly by the person who was selling the tools at a crossroad. The man sincerely helped me by tighten the nuts of the chain with the tools he sold, so it could run again! YEAY 😂😂

Finally, I arrived at home safely.


And my experience reminded me of His promise in Isaiah 46:4. When you feel you have no one to rely on, no friend to talk to, He is the One with His incredible & amazing ways will always provide what you need.
