...God's Mate Selection...
Everyone longs to give himself or herself completely to someone, to have a deep and committed soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and unconditionally.
But God says: No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, with giving yourself totally, unreservedly to Me alone.
I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me; exclusively of anyone or anything else; exclusively of any other desires and belongings.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing -- one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the very best. Please allow Me to bring it to you.
Just keep your eyes on Me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I AM.
Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you.
You must be patient.
Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.
Don't look around at the things others have.
Don't look at the things you think you want.
Just keep looking up to Me, or you will miss what I want to give you.
And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you could ever dream. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even this minute to have both of you ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me .. and this is perfect love.

...I am WhO I am FoR a ReAsOn...
Last nite, I'm not really mello or anything, but may be becoz I read lots of 'words' about friendship...it just made me thinking...do I actually have a 'real' friend...I feel that a lot of time people expect me to be 'perfect', the fact that I'm 1 of the deacons in the church...I feel that although it's not that I'm try to be some1 that I'm not...It's just I'm not feel as free to be myself to express what I feel and think...Yea...I guess many of us will experience in life that people have put some sort of expectation on us...the wording in SISKA msn's nickname (thanx sis) keep me thinking 'I am who I am for a reason'...It will be very tiring to be somebody that we r not, to try to please everyone surround us...I guess..we just need to make sure that our conscience is clear...we can't expect everyone to love us...And also the sms from Yen last nite 'Confrontation: bringing to light an issue so friendship is restored and strenghten, worrior chicks have the courage to handle confrontation' (thanx Yen). Last nite, I ended my day with talking on the phone with Bel...Haven't talk with her for sometimes, I really2 glad to have her in my life...somehow...she's one of those person that I dare to be myself...I don't have to hid anything from her...my worry, my frustration...Really glad to have some1 that I can trust, Someone that I know won't judge me but encourage me to be that mighty woman that God wants me to be....Lup u so much :)....

What is a friend?
It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself."
~~~~~
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.
~~~~~
"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." -- Charles Caleb Colton
~~~~~
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
~~~~~
Most people walk in and out of you life, but only friends leave footprints in your heart.
~~~~~
A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you. (Doris Wild Helmering)

...HiS PlAn FoR Us...
Sometimes I ask the question,"My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear You answer me,"My Precious Child...be still."
Sometimes I feel frustrated,cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear You say to me, "My Busy Child...just rest!"
Sometimes I feel so lonely and I think I'd like a mate.
Your still small voice gets so clear and says,"My Child...please wait!"
"I know the plans I have for you,the wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, Child,and put your trust in me.
I've plans to draw you closer. I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see and much you do not know.
But know this, Child...I LOVE YOU. You are Precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb, I planned your destiny.
I've something very special. I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you are gifts you cannot earn.
They come without a price tag,but not without a cost; at Calvary,
I gave My Son, so You would not be lost.
Rest Child, and do not grow weary of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you just like I said I would.
Your name is written on my palm, I never could forget;
Therefore,do not be discouraged when my answer is..."Not Yet!"

...GiVe AnD Be BleSSeD...
(eliz, jen, tan, yen, ta and me)
These are some of the story that was preached last sunday...
Quaker Oats
Henry P. Crowell, affectionately called. The autocrat of the Breakfast Table, contracted tuberculosis when a boy and couldn't go to school. After hearing a sermon by Dwight L. Moody, young Crowell prayed, I can't be a preacher, but I can be a good businessman. God, if You will let me make money, I will use it in Your service.
Under the doctor's advice Crowell worked outdoors for seven years and regained his health. He then bought the little run-down Quaker Mill at Ravanna, Ohio. Within ten years Quaker Oats was a household word to millions. Crowell also operated the huge Perfection Stove Company.
For over forty years Henry P. Crowell faithfully gave 60 to 70 percent of his income to God's causes, having advanced from an initial 10%.
Senior Partner At Kraft
Years ago a young man began a small cheese business in Chicago. He failed. He was deeply in debt. You didn't take God into your business. You have not worked with Him, said a Christian friend to him. Then the young man thought, If God wants to run the cheese business, He can do it, and I'll work for Him and with Him! From that moment, God became the senior partner in his business. The business grew and prospered and became the largest cheese concern in the world! You ask the name of that young man? J. L. Kraft who became president of the Kraft Cheese Company!
Colgate
William Colgate ran away from home at age 17. He tithed the first dollar he made as an employee, soon was made partner of the company, and ultimately owned Colgate Palmolive Company His giving grew from 20% to 30% to 40% and finally he was giving all of his income.
Everyone wants to be successful...in our life...for our future...for our career...It really speaks to me that to be successful is not only based on our ability, skills and how smart we are...these 3 company are giants company worldwide...they can be successful because the owner's FoCuS is and always right...

...I'm NoT PeRfeCT YeT...
If you see me make a mistake
You see me do something wrong, my dear
My God's the only one that's perfect
Not me, not yet, not here,
Cause you see, He is still working on me
And He's working from within
Changing my heart, my mind, my spirit
So I won't want to sin,
And though sometimes I may
Stumble and trip and maybe fall
My Lord is always there to catch me
Lift me up, brush me off and all,
And when I catch myself
And I'm about to do what's wrong and not right
I simply ask my Lord for strength
His power is out of sight,
And when I need His leadership
My conscience tells me clear
Cause with His Holy Spirit within me
I have nothing, at all to fear,
And if I do something that's wrong
The guilt just pains me so
My Savior gives me His Grace and a hug
And says, It's OK, I TOOK CARE OF IT
I LOVE YOU, COME ON, GET UP AND GO.
Today all the indo people have to elect for Indo president...This is my first time, as 5 years ago I was still under age hehe...Last month (the 1st election) I worked so haven't got chance to give my voice for Indo goverment till this 2nd election...though didn't really now who to choose at least I gave my voice hehe.....

...Sydney...
Sunday comes again...We dropped Andrew and Stephen to domestic airport... sydney...hiks... really want to go there...miss all those fun stuff last year...pancake the rock, ayam panggang 99, gelattisimo...hehe....miss Ratna, Arief, Siska, n all of the syd youth (Though I just known some of the people there for a very short time but fell like had been known u guys for years).. (This syd pic to remind me about those lovely memories hehe)..for andrew, stephen, belinda, adri and ado and everyone from Indo who are in sydney now...u guys will really enjoy this trip especially the Hills conf will really bless everyone...
Neway, went straight to church....many had gone for holiday..tante preached...really blessed by the sermon. There is 1 story that really touched me...it's about a man named John Harper, he and his 6 years old daughter were some of the people that were in the Titanic.According to documented reports, as soon as it was apparent that the ship was going to sink, John Harper immediately took his daughter to a lifeboat. It is reasonable to assume that this widowed preacher could have easily gotten on board this boat to safety; however, it never seems to have crossed his mind. He bent down and kissed his precious little girl; looking into her eyes he told her that she would see him again someday.
That night 1528 people went into the frigid waters. John Harper was seen swimming frantically to people in the water leading them to Jesus before the hypothermia became fatal. Mr. Harper swam up to one young man who had climbed up on a piece of debris. Rev. Harper asked him between breaths, "Are you saved?" The young man replied that he was not.
Harper then tried to lead him to Christ only to have the young man who was near shock, reply no. John Harper then took off his life jacket and threw it to the man and said "Here then, you need this more than I do..." and swam away to other people. A few minutes later Harper swam back to the young man and succeeded in leading him to salvation. Of the 1528 people that went into the water that night, six were rescued by the lifeboats. One of them was this young man on the debris. Four years later, at a survivors meeting, this young man stood up and in tears recounted how John Harper had led him to Christ. Mr. Harper had tried to swim back to help other people, yet because of the intense cold, had grown too weak to swim. His last words before going under in the frigid waters were "Believe on the Name of the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." This servant of God did what he had to do. While other people were trying to buy their way onto the lifeboats and selfishly trying to save their own lives, John Harper gave up his life so that others could be saved.
I'm so amazed and touched by this story...how a man can really focus on doing God's will even until his last breath...

...DaD..
God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of a summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle's flight
The joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities
When there was nothing more to add
He knew His masterpiece was complete
And so, He called it ... Dad
