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.

Wait Bah

Motivates4Life: When there’s Nothing you can Do… Wait:

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!

Adventures

Yeah I am back hahha

After 5 days in Indonesia now I am back for 2 weeks in my sweet home country.

Lots memories and stories to tell hahha

First among all-big thanks to Daddy for the protection during our 5 days trip in Surabaya and Malang. Daddy really the One who provides and helps during the panic situation at the beginning of our journey while in LCCT..almost miss the flight because of some unexpected problem. First miracle during of our trip hahah.

We landed safely at Juanda International Airport Surabaya and yeah we finally met our friends from UNESA. My first impression of UNESA campus was-wow its really feel like home. So much different with UKM. It doesn't really look like a campus but for me its like more on a campus village style-everything-the road, the local people who stay inside the campus and they plant vegetables- I love it haha. and just no monkeys in there unlike my campus haha. Whe we arrived at the hostel- I have to tell you that their hospitality was superb just like 5 stars hotel. From the food and everthing especially I had the chance to try cappuccino with granule chocolate and its made in Indonesia. The taste was like heaven!

During our first day in UNESA, they brought us to jalan-jalan around Surabaya city and visited The Heroes Monument in Surabaya. Sweating a lot since Surabaya weather is just like Kuala Lumpur hahah. Tiring day after the whole day journey and came back to hostel. but since dring that time was EURO season..me and another 3 friends from Malysia woke up at 1.45am to watch the final match between Italy and Spain. I wore my Italia jersey but then so sad when Italy lost 0-4 with Spain. my firt time watching football with my coursemate actually hahha. Day 2 in UNESA, we visited the faculty of education and met the rest of the special eductaion program students. We had our informal discussion about the special education program both in UKM nad also UNESA. A lot of input we get during the discussion especially the practice they already had in UNESA but we do not have yet in UKM. We do not spent much time in UNESA since we have to go to UM. But even though it was limited time together with the UNESA students but the knowledge we get was very helpful.

On the way to UM, we stop by Lapindo Mud in Surabaya. Quite scary but it was sad while listening to the stories of the local peole who stay there long time ago. I bought CD of the Lapindo Mud tragedy but haven't watch it haha.

After long journey we finally reach Malang city. Compare to Surabaya, the weather in Malang was cooler. We stay in hotel-not bad bah the place. We spent 4 days in Malang and as usual again their hospitality alaso not bad. Since I am a big eater.. I love when they always give us food but not really with the bun hahha. I love trying new food and of course some I like some not hahha. Actually its a school holiday season so we don't have chance to go school and see how their special education in classroom. But thank God we had the chance to visit one of the vocational school for special needs students and of course again the practice of specal education in that school super good. The special needs students so talented and so much creativity compared to my self actually. I was thinking when are we in Malaysia gonna have like them-that's why we visited that place-to learn something new and information for our special education program in Malaysia.




We suppose to teach sumazau dance to the special needs students in that school but since we do not have much time the school management canceled it. Big relieve for me by the way since I just don't know how to teach sumazau dance in front of the VIPs including my lecturers also there for the sumazau dance session. After that the school management brought us around that school and visited different classroom whereby some students stayed during holiday just for our visit.






Day 3 in Malang, we went to Mount Bromo which I consider it very far from our hotel. Just recently I am excited about hiking and since our planning to climb Mount Kinabalu cancelled at least I have the chance to climb Mount Bromo haha. Its very very cool and to get to the first peak we have to use Jeep. Since its still dark plus very cold we slept during the journey hahah. When we arrived I was shock because lots motorcycles! They offered to send us to the peak but we don't take it since the road was quite dangerous. and that was my first experience hiking with traffic jam on the way to the peak haha. Very beautiful place and stunning view from the peak. After that we get back to the jeep and went to the second mount which the real Mount Bromo haha. Very sandy and lots horses. Again offer us use horses to up the mount. I don't like horse and the smell was describable haha. Difficult and very challenging but thank God we manage to reach the peak of the mountain. Mount Bromo is actually an active volcano..Thanks again for the protection Daddy. Because of the horse we smell like horse's shit as well hahhahaha.


After 5 days there, we finally going back to Malaysia and of curse our program report waiting for us hahahah. But before that another miracle happened in airport. When we want to get in the plane my immigration card was not with me. I thought the immigration officer took it but when I checked my other course mates still have it. I was so worry but then Daddy helps me..they let me get in the plane..halleluyah!
Wow..such wonderful journey and all glory to God who never fails be with us during the journey:)

YES I CAN!

Hola again:)))

This is what Daddy gave me these days:)

Whatever I have,

Wherever I am,

I can make it,

Through anything in Christ.

Philippians 4:13 (MSG)

Step by step-He leads and Provides!

Its been a busiest and hard week of my final exam..4 papers in one week but Daddy is everything.He helps me and give me peace during the exam..thanks Daddy.

 O ya..in one week time I will be flying to Surabaya and its not like any trip that I had before since it contains 40% of our final exam marks. so basically each of us have to do report for this trip and before that of course fundraise by ourselves-including the flight we have to fundraise total RM1,000 and you see God provides. So basically what we gonna do there is visiting the two universities- Universitas Surabaya and Universitas Malang. and we will be having chance to visit the special education school there. can't wait..I heard Indonesia special education school was good. something new to bring back here in Malaysia for sure. Its a one week trip and of course all the time I am the only one believer among my coursemates but strongly believe Daddy is always be with me. My mission field-to be salt and light :)

2 weeks after that I will be joining STOMP TL training in PJ. STOMP TL is Students Together on Mission Partnership Timor Leste -organized by the Fellowship of Evangelical Students Malaysia (FES). We will be on the field from 21st until 31st July. Let me share how actually God brought me to join STOMP TL. Last year I attended the East Asia Regional Conference in Singapore and everyday there is a session called country sharing. I remember I represent Malaysia and shared about the christian students movement and the challenges we face in this country. and there one session that really caught my heart- Timor Leste! During the country sharing I can't even describe how my heart look like. I keep on thinking and telling my self.."one day I will go to this country for mission trip"

So since that I put Timor Leste in my mission country list:) I shared with my taiko-she is truly wonderful person to me-thanks sis for listening hahha. Clearly I remembered she said " Our Father is never in a hurry. One step at a time." If Daddy really call me for mission He surely leads me step by step..its just like what is in the book I am currently reading No Distance Too Far (Will update my book review after I done with the reading ya:). Come back to my story, after that my new semester started and studying as usual.And in my CF we were given the FES flyers about the activities coming up and I saw STOMP-Timor Leste. Yet I didn't do nothing because I plan to do my short semester during the semester break. Until last March sis asked me about joining STOMP TL. She asks me to pray about it. I calculate my unit for my final year and I realize it should be ok without me doing my short semester-YES I said Yes for STOMP TL. That was the first time I say YES without worrying the fund that I have to raise which total is RM 4,500. wow its bigger than the loan I get every semester haha.

But as I was reading the The World Race site I found this, very interesting and inspiring me "If God calls you to this journey then He will also provide for the necessary funds"..wow..Rm 4,500 is not small amount to me but not for Daddy kan. This is the time I should trusting Him more:) still need RM3,350 but like what we tell our trip leader-the money is on the way from Daddy :). So ya do remember me in prayer and also thanks to each one of you who support me in prayers as well as in financial-GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN :)

So will keep you update ya..till we meet.God bless you:)))

Papa Day!

Yesterday was Father's Day yahuuu..
We had wonderful Father's Day celebration both in SIB KL as well as in SIB Kajang.
I don't remember any special moment about Father's day until this year..DADDY reminded me about being grateful with everything I had including my precious Papa.


I don't have so much memory with Papa because I am not the "anak bapa" type haha. But then while I was sitting today..looking through Papa's picture I realize how much he actually been good to me! Ya..Papa is not the type of father who express his love in words but more in actions..I think la haha. He never say 'I love You" but I knew through his actions like buying my favorite-pork during my birthday last year hahha. Mama also told me how excited Papa was when I was born and even he is the one gave my name-Nernny..amazing kan:)


I remember when I was around 2 years old..when my parents going to our "ladang", Papa will put me inside the "Barazit"

This how the Barazit looks like

Barazit is our traditional basket where we use to carry harvest such paddy or other crops as well as any tools that we need to take with us when we going out to jungles or ladang hihi. As I remember Papa's Barazit was bigger than this where I can fit inside it. Papa will send me to my uncle house and I will wait for them to come back from ladang. hahah that was one of my favourite moment when I was small kid.


Later on..when I grown up, Papa taught me how to sing and speak in front of people. I remembered every year during Christmas I will sing one Christmas song during church. and until now Papa sometimes still ask me to do haha.


O ya did I mention about Papa is actually a Pastor but in our church and they call him Pastor, Gembala, Tumpuk and last year Papa get his Pendeta :)). So I am a Pastor's kid hehe. Papa doesn't really taught me how to pray and read my bible by asking me to do that everyday but I learn it through seeing him doing. Papa always remind us the important of praying and staying as strong family-and that is how I am now haha.


Papa and Mama will remind us only one thing to pray before go to sleep. Before meal is our prayer practice moment hahha because Papa will ask each one of us to take turn saying grace.


When I was 16 years old, Papa ask me to give sharing during Christmas's night-that was my first sharing in my church! The courage to speak up is actually been train up since young-when Papa always bring me along during his ministry. That was ONE THING I really want to thank Daddy for giving me such wonderful Papa. Not only that Papa always enourage me and always giving me chance to bring something new in our church and also many chances to share with our people in church and also in our family.


Me and Papa didn't really talk much actually. Even when I called him yesterday to wish him Father's day..not long after that Papa's favorite dialogue ' mau cakap dengan mama?" hahahha..but of course I knew he has so much to say but just don't know how to say it kan haha. O ya and last year Papa ever ask me "bila mau kawin?" hahahhahaha funny la. usually Mama is the one who always ask but that was the first time Papa asked me that question. and my answer to him.."sabar la Pa" hahha. I think he just miss "pongivasan" in our house after my last brother's wedding last 2 years.


Its been 56 years now and I am still thinking what is the best gift I can give Papa for Father's Day. As I remember I bought shirt and neck tie for him before but well Narnia is just so bad in choosing gift for man hahha..it does't suit him hahahha. Yesterday I told Papa that I will make steam cake for him when I am back..but I think I will do something more for him and mama too. surprise..tunggu saya pulang bila-bila la haha. So I did this for Papa

Happy Father's Day Papa!

Other fathers might look good and better than you hundreds times..but I have to admit today that You are my Hero among all fathers in the world. Sayang ko!

PATIENCE

PATIENCE

"I gama tumahan dot oruol ko kosusaan ko karaatan"

These few days I just tend to lost my temper and easily get hurt--hish..tak boleh bah macam ni :(


I lost patience when people take our turn to do presentation which our group suppose to do it first-the reason i get angry was I just want to finish all my presentations this week.
Again today i lost patience when my friend tend to made decision without asking permission from my group-again!


I am totally angry with my friends and even people surround me..but thank God for  He calm down my spirit and emotion and I choose to quiet myself unless I will getting more angry. I sing! hahhaha just like what Iin Tjipto did when she angry-it does work actually hahha. I went back to my room and tell Daddy-I am sorry for I lost my temper today and after that I sleep before my next class. 


Somehow I think myself-why should I easily lost my temper with small stuffs..should't happen again bah. so yeah Love is Patient kan. Live it out!

7 Steps Before You Commit by Sheri Rose

Your Time and Talent are Valuable, so before you commit to anything or anyone, consider the following:

1. Look at the fruits of what follows that person and ask yourself where will they be leading you. Keep in mind NOT ALL open doors are from God. 

"Just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions." ~Matthew 7:20

2. Take a hard look at your future and ask yourself, "Is this God's purpose & plan for me? Or will this person or project detour, delete or distract from what God may have for me?"

"Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil." ~Proverbs 4:26-27

3. Ask yourself, "Will I be growing in my walk with Christ when working with this person or on this project?" 

"...be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." ~2 Peter 3:17-18

4. "Will my time and talent invested become a blessing to anyone other than myself?"

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." ~1 Thessalonians 5:11

5. Before you walk away from where you are for a new venture, PRAY HARD and count the cost of what you're leaving behind or giving up. 

"But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?" ~Luke 14:28

6. When the beginning excitement phase is over, is this something or someone that you would want to stay connected to when challenges arise?

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." ~1 Peter 5:8

7. Don't allow desperation force you to make a move too quickly. For major decisions, seek wisdom in the Word and wise counsel from those you trust. Then wait at least 30 days and see what God reveals before you invest your valuable time & talent in anyone or anything.

"Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act." ~Psalm 37:7

"Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path." 

Psalm 119:105

A Way of Escape A Way of Escape

 

My Princess Warrior,

The enemy will always attempt to trap you by a appealing to your earthly desires and his strategy has taken many of my chosen ones down into a pit of despair.

Spiritual warfare is not a game My Princess Warrior. It is very real, and you will have to run as far from temptation as you can to keep from falling prey to it. I know running from the darkness may seem radical to many, but you are called to live a radical faith.

I will always make a way of escape for you. But you ultimately make the choice to either bite the tempting bait of Satan or escape the snare of the enemy and run to Me.

Love,
Your King, the Great Escape 

~

"And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires."
~2 Peter 1:4 NLT~
