My Burfdae Wish
Dear G,
I am truly grateful for another year that You have entrusted to me. When I look back for the past 21years, You never let me down through it all. I am captivated by Your love and Your love will always get me home. I don't know where would I be right now without Your love, I have days of mercy and moments of grace. And I thank you dear G for every breath that I take. You have sent so many angels into my lyfe, thank you for surround me with people who loves me tenderly.
One thing I only ask, that I may dwell in the presence of the Lord all the days of my lyfe. To know the depth of Your heart and swim on it. Take me higher, draw me deeper and makes me grow stronger in Your love. Remind me that I am simply breathless without You near by. A woman that close to the Lord and bear Your heart and Your passion. I want to rise up to be a woman You have designed me to be, and when people look at me they will point toward You directly. Teach me to be a woman who doesn't scrape and claw to be noticed and appreciated, but the one who is fully content and secure in my relationship with my King.
I want to enter the year ahead embracing the promises that You have in store for me. May I see the things that my eyes have not seen, hear the things that my ears have not heard, and experience the things beyong my wildest imagination. I want to live the year ahead to bless and touch many many many life's as You have blessed me so much! To be a great, bold, exemplary, wise and loving woman, daughter, wife to be (if You called me to be one), leader and other roles in my lyfe.
Give me the ear that always ready to listen to Your words first rather than my own needs. Ears that always ready to listen to other peoples problem even tough sometimes its not easy to stay quiet and be still. And please open the eyes of my heart Lord, open up my eyes to the things unseen. Help me to be able to always see Your ways. Eyes that always look the good on other people and not to judge them. And let my lips always declare that You are the God of the universe, always be able to worship and praise You even tough I might face a difficult situation. Let words that come up from my mouth always lift up someone else's days, built them up and not tear them down. And feet that always willing to go extra-mile when it comes for serving my Lord and King. Feet that always go everywhere You want me to go even to the ends of the earth. Last but not least, please give sincere humble and right heart that always break apart for what break Yours. And gain me Your wisdom to live in this world.
Dear God, thank you for loving me, and giving me Your all. As I grow up, I will still serving You. I want to know You more, I want to love You more. I will never forget You, Lord. You are a great big God. I'm young and do not know a lot! Come and be my all. I will grow up knowing You.. :)
Amen,
lil-nie

How Great Is Our God
Kemaren itu gw pergi sama temen gw untuk nonton movie. Nah pas nunggu movienya mulai, dia show gw video ini. Video dari Louie Giglio. Pas liat namanya kok familiar banget yah kaya pernah tau tapi gak inget. Dan abis nonton video ini bikin gw merinding to the max bow! Haha. Penasaran kah? Please watch the video below :)
Begitu liat video ini gw langsung inget bokk, ternyata Louie Giglio ini yang kotbah tentang laminin juga. Wonder apa itu laminin? Ayo nonton ini juga :)
After watch this two video, all I can say is.. Lord I am amazed by YOU! I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. And I will worship you as long as I life, for You alone worthy of all praise!!

Psalm 148
1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the heights above.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise Him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at His command they were created,
6 and He established them for ever and ever— He issued a decree that will never pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women, old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And He has raised up for His people a horn, the praise of all His faithful servants, of Israel, the people close to His heart. Praise the Lord.
Hikmat Dari Macetnya Jakarta
Tidak terasa hampir setahun setelah gw for good dari Singapore ke ibukota (tak) tercinta ini. Well, to be honest gw ga mau muna. Sometimes I'm proud to be indonesian, sometimes I'm not. Jakarta terkenal dengan negara termacetttt, banyak korupsi, gak tertib, peraturan dibuat untuk dilanggar dan selagi kamu punya uang, you can buy almost everything.. termasuk keadilan dan rasa aman di Indonesia itu mahal banget bow.
Dari selama gw di Jakarta ini, yang paling gw stress'in adalah macetnya dan tidak tertibnya orang Jakarta. Gw di sini kan nyetir sendiri, jadi gw ngerasain tuh kebelet pipis banget tapi stuck macet, dan waktu yang kebuang sia-sia. Juga udah macet, masih ada aja yang nyelip-nyelip nyerobot dan bikin makin macet dll. Kayanya gw gak perlu jelasin lagi deh ya gimana stresssssssnya macet di Jakarta, I wont make a post simply just for complain and grumble. But here, I want to thank God because He is an awesome God. Sometimes He use circumstances to teach us a lesson.
Kadang pas gw super emosi sama macet, Tuhan kaya bilang "udah daripada bete sendiri mendingan doain untuk perubahan." Busettt kaya nancepp banget bokk. Dan karena gw ngalamin sendiri, gw jadi lebih sungguh-sungguh doain jakarta. Bener-bener menangis untuk kota ini, negara ini. Dimana ngeliat anak jalanan, tukang minta-minta, orang gila dsb ada.. bikin miris hati banget huhu. Dan selain berdoa juga harus disertai dengan action haha. Kaya kemaren ini pemilihan pilkada, gw bener-bener nafsu banget untuk gunain suara gw, lanjutin broadcast campaign dll karena gw pengen banget melihat perubahan Jakarta!!
So pemutaran kedua kali ini akan diadakan pada 20 September 2012. I really encourage you to vote! Jangan lah jadi golongan putih, belajar jadi warga yang bertanggung jawab. Hasil pilkada kemaren itu yang golput gede banget loh sekitar 40persenan. Lets's we give our voice, choose wisely because your voice is count! Emang kita harus doain kota Jakarta ini, but despite all the prayers needed we need to be practical as well :)
And if you wonder whom I will choose is.. watch the video bellow :D Ini contoh dari rakyat Jakarta yang practical dan aplicable loh haha, they exactly know whom they will support and they made campaign for it. It took lots of effort and thanks for their willingness so we can enjoy the video. How do I know about this video? Look carefully and you may spot someone on that video. Not me. Clue: blogger too, and her blog lots of book excerpt :P

Girlfriends
I love this post so much :) Every words of it represent my feelings, and truly agree with every sentences of it. A great reminder for me, that "A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure." So I want to share this thoughtful post with you girls, do enjoy.
I was just getting out of the house to take my children to school when a message came buzzing in on my Blackberry: “Girlfriends, you are needed. Can you meet me for brunch at 11am today?” My schedule raced through my mind and without much thought, I replied: “Can we make it at 10?”
I am not a planner, but this kind of spontaneity is new even to me. After getting married I had less time for my girlfriends, and even lesser since I became a Mom. Between the daily errands I had to run and the constant emotional challenges I face in raising the two future leaders of the world (yes, that’s what I tell myself to feel better), I felt I had no time to dress myself pretty, let alone be of good company to anyone. But as I sat there with my girlfriend over brunch, listening to her story about an exciting happening over the weekend, I knew that the time with her was a time well spent.
I began to think about what it means to have girlfriends in our lives. Often times when women are trying hard to balance between work and play, we tend to cast friendships aside. But we forget the benefits we get from nurturing female relationships. Not only are girlfriends the source of close and effective communication, they are also where we get that feel-good effect simply from an hour of ramblings about our feelings that can totally fill up our emotional tank for weeks. Women need each other to heal with, to laugh with, to grieve with, and to celebrate being a woman with – all of which are about communicating feelings that only women can understand (I mean, try talking your feelings out with a man and you might end up with more emotional damage than when you started). And when emotions are all laid out on the table, when vulnerability is shown, we create a unique bond that builds up into a sense of support and security.
Casually between the laughter and the tears that followed, my girlfriend said: “I do stupid stuff and you girls are my shield.” And I can’t tell you how much truth I found in that. When we are out there making a mockery of ourselves without thinking twice, or when our worst gets the best out of us, it’s these people with whom we have a unique bond that can “bitchslap” us back to reality and point out objectively just how good we have it – without pretense, without reservation.
Girlfriends are good for the soul – I’ve heard that often before. And like all relationships, friendship needs nurturing. Whether it’s a quick chat over coffee or a nice intimate dinner or even a day away together for a spa appointment, connections with other women have proved to do a lot of good for the female soul. When we invest the time and effort to grow this friendship, it will do more good for us and others.
So ladies, since there are only so many hours in a day and so much you can put your energy into, make the right priorities and make your girlfriends a part of it. Husbands, as much as you hate feeling neglected for the few hours that your wife is off to nurture her relationship with her friends, remember that it’s usually her friends who remind her just how wonderful you are to her.
To my girlfriend – you know who you are – thank you for the sunshine!
