Janji Ditepati


I remember when I was in primary school every time this date-31st August being mentioned one thing that cross my mind was-MERDEKA!
Later after that when I was in my secondary school I finally found out that Malaysia was born on 16th September 1963
Since that I knew clearly that 31st August every year is Malaya's birthday.
Thank God that I am not sure since what year but for sure now Hari Malaysia on every 16th September is Malaysia public holiday-thats the real birthday of Malaysia kan :)

Janji Ditepati
I heard many people disagree with the Merdeka's theme this year-politics?
Well I am not really into politics but for me personally I like this theme anyway.
Why Janji Ditepati?
As we going to celebrate Malaysia 50th birthday or Jubilee year I think Janji Ditepati is what God wants to do in this country.
Jubilee is the year where God will fulfill His promises upon this country-beloved Malaysia.
Hope Of Jubilee!

As I read 2 Chronicles 7, verse 16 caught my attention. Wow..Malaysia you are dear in God's heart.


Every time when we gather to intercede for Malaysia I always remember and believing that God will do something great in this country..Halleluyah!
One pastor ever mentioned, "Kritikan tidak akan mengubah Malaysia, hanya Tuhan yang boleh mengubah-jadi berdoalah!"
How many of us, who very good in criticizing and complaining about our government yet never spend even 5 minutes to pray for Malaysia?
God placed us in this country with reasons-one of them is to stand for this country before Him.

Satu Malaysia Satu Bahtera
When I first heard this song, I told my friend, "Cantiklah lagu ni"
Yeah..the lyric is just so meaningful especially when it comes to the word of BAHTERA-ARK
Remember the story of Noah in the Bible? God saved Noah and his family from the punishment of the big flood (Genesis 6-7).
My prayer is that the same thing will happen for this country. That none of us will left out from entering the ark of salvation from our Lord Jesus Christ.


So yeah-we can make different for Malaysia..wake up and start praying for your country!
MALAYSIA FOR CHRIST!

Talk is cheap-Walk the talk


Mark 14
v.13 But he said emphatically, " If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same.
v.50 And they all left Him and fled.

Talk is cheap. Even Jesus's disciples proved it.
This is the story before Jesus was arrested. A few hours EARLIER all the disciples had said they would rather die than denying the Lord. A few hours LATER, however, they all scattered!

As I was reading this chapter I told myself- really talk is so cheap!
Us-nowadays- very easy to say we are devoted to Christ and will never denying Him-like what the disciples said.
Yet when trials come- are we still with what we said earlier?
When we meet someone that we think he/she is our soul mate even though he/she is not a believer- easily we sold our faith and denying God.
When we get the superb job offer that requires us to deny Jesus- easily we sell our faith. (I wonder how much our faith is). My question- HOW STRONG IS YOUR FAITH?

The Bible said, faith without action is dead (James 2:17). The same thing with our talk. WALK THE TALK bah!

If we claim that we love Jesus but we never live the life that honor God- it proves that we don't love Him> Talk is cheap.Walk the talk.

If we claim that we are Christ true follower yet we never have the effort to spend quality time with God-praying and meditating His Word day and night- again we are just not the true follower> Talk is cheap. Walk the talk.

If we claim we are serving Him with all our heart but never really preparing ourselves before serving-too busy in ministry until we neglected time with God-we are not serving Him indeed just showing off that we able to do so called christian good work. > Talk is cheap. Walk the talk.

If we claim that we are different from this world yet the way we live out our life- just like how the nonbelievers did-we were the same as them! > Talk is cheap. Walk the talk.

If we claim that we are living holy good lifestyle as what God command us to live holy because He is holy- yet the way we run our relationship, our speech and action just the same as the people who don't know God- it proves that we aren't. > Talk is cheap. Walk the talk.

TALK IS CHEAP. WALK THE TALK.
Strong reminder from Daddy for me and each of us.
Last Sunday Pastor Hendrik shared about "Kristian Sejati" "The True Christian".
When we claim we are the true Christian but never have the deep relationship with God- we are not..ouch! sakit kan.
Seorang murid Kristus dikenal dari buahnya.
The true disciple of Christ known by its fruit. 

so yeah.Beloved..I am not perfect none of us. That is why we need God, we need Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit every moment to live in this dark world.Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). Without Him we are nothing.He is waiting for each of us to come back to Him. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9)


Word of the Day: TALK IS CHEAP. WALK THE TALK.

A Walk To Remember


Botardi!!
Hahaha finally I get the chance to write again yeah.
Oppsss..I guess I didn't post any birthday wishes this year..busy travelling here and there.
But I think this year birthday was the coolest birthday celebration I ever had hahah. My birthday is the same date of our church camp..and get Pastor David and Sis Tunung to pray for me. Since Papa and Mama is not with me..they are more than enough for me. Obrigada!
And as I told my friends what is my ideal birthday present, Molly bought one for me hahaha

now my Hiro has a little brother named Fahi hahahha

Just right after our church camp I had STOMP Timor Leste. One week training in Crossroad was very good preparation especially for me because during that time I was so worry about my funds. Ishh..this girl kan. Daddy keep on reminding even during the church camp about trusting Him..and yeah Daddy really showed me His big miracle! He provides more than enough 2 days before we left Malaysia. Aman O Diak- Father You are Good!

STOMP TL
Password given:
"Grow A Heart For Timor Leste"


Wow..sangat wow bah hahah
a lot of memories and that is why I named my journey as "A Walk To Remember"..same title with one of my favorite movie hahah..but yeah with different story. This is STOMP TL version ya.

Why 'A Walk To Remember" ?
Here it goes..

My first experience staying over night at Changi Airport. Thanks Daddy for the sleeping bag we had haha.

Of course my first time in Timor Leste. A year ago I told my self that one day I will go to this country..and Daddy make it happen this year. Birthday present from Daddy yeah!!

Timor Leste...Its hot, dry and dusty. (When people asked me about Timor Leste weather-this is the best description I have hahah)
Dili the capital city of Timor Leste is a small city with abandon building-burnt building during the war..plus the graffiti on the wall..all around the place. Somehow I guess that was what really in the Timorese heart.

The people?



Good hospitality as always hahha
We stayed in Cocoon. Its a library and at the same time the local NGO in Dili.

 Met the three wonderful teacher from Singapore- Siew Lee, Lishan and Dawn-They were full with faith and live simple life there yet giving big impact especially in rising up new Timorese young leaders.

Met Frans again..the first time I met him was during EARC with Lishan. and now get to know great young people-Naza, Acacio, Atoy, Luis and Lina.

 Not only that the kids in Cocoon just amazing..Nai,Azianah, Ahsiah, Monica, Ruben and many more..they were super cute and many of them barefoot! The cool part was during our last day with them, the kids lay hands on us and pray! Hancur hatiku:(

We helped out with some youth training in Vision Training Centre (VTC)..with around 85 of youth there. With their big size sempat me worry during our first session haha. But then thanks Daddy and also Maun Abel and Peter for your help:)

The youth in VTC like singing and one of the song we learn is "Joven" means youth. Met Leli, Anje, Eddy, Abe, Sika, Oppie and even The Rock hahaha. They were full with talents and dream. I hope that they will continue with their big dream..Their stories especially during the 1999 war were undescribeable. Can you imagine some of them hide in the mountain for 4 months without proper house so they have to sleep on the rock. So much scars in their heart. Daddy heal them with Your surpasses love.

Not forgotten the first polite Pak Guard we met. It was our fault to take picture in one of the campus without asking permission. The Pak Guard came and shook our hand then scold us! Hahahahah after that before he left again he shook our hand. Funny betul..

The view in Dili was fantastic!!!!


ok..I am not a beach person but Dili change everything..the view from sunrise to the sunset sooo cantik! and during our BBQ with new Malaysian friend- Ps.Naomi, Pricilla and the brother- we mandi laut at night with Maun Abel and Sakai Bert (Jess always call him with that name hahaha)..kesian Jess tak dapat join. Our Pendekar Peter and Mama Beatrice pun tak join ni.It was super cold and suddenly something bite my toe..and  that actually stop me to continue mandi laut :(((

Costa Rei
The place where Jesus' statue built
and here we had our reflection after 10 days in Dili
and here where Daddy showed me His dream and real heart to be my dream
and here where I once again surrender everything into Daddy's hand about my future..
I am ready..just wait for His perfect time and next command :)

So yeah that's how my STOMP TL
Its not the end but its the beginning of our journey to continue growing heart for Timor Leste.

Obrigada barak...big thank you
for your support and prayer ya.
Maromak Foo Bensa-God bless!
