Don't Judge A Man By His Wealth

Scene 1 - Thursday, 2 August 2012
Jam 9.15am dan gw ada di dalam lift untuk naik ke kantor gw. Dan ada seorang bapak paruh baya, si empunya office building ini. Terus dia masih ditengah loby gitu deh, tapi si satpam tetep teken tombol lift, biar posisi pintu lift tetep kebuka dan nungguin si bapak ini masuk. Maksudnya sih baik, biar si bapak ini sekalian masuk dan gak perlu nunggu lift berikutnya. Dan respon dari si bapak ini adalah: “Udah-udah biarin naik aja dulu liftnya, dodol ya kamu.” Well, mungkin si bapak ini gak enak kalau ditungguin kali yah, tapi gw tetep aja shock masa ngatain orang di depan umum? Walaupun nota benenya dya seorang satpam yang bekerja untuk dia.

Scene 2 - Saturday, 4 August 2012
Gw lagi dinner bareng temen gw di salah satu restaurant deket rumah gw. Only two of us, having simple dinner while waiting for our other friend. So we laughed, chit chat and eat A LOT! Haha. Sebelah meja gw itu seorang bokap dan anak cewenya. Bokapnya nontonin TV yang ada di restaurant dan anaknya mainin sedotan ajah. Terus ditengah-tengah gw lagi cekikikan ma temen gw, well girls are girls aren’t we? :P Gw denger nih anak cewe ngomong gini, “aku tau password ipadnya pasti papa suka marah-marah.” Bokapnya gak ngegubris sama sekali, dan dari convo mereka gw mendapatkan kesan bahwa si papa sering ngoceh dan marah.

Scene 3 - Monday, 6 August 2012
Gw lagi nyetir otw balik ke rumah dari kantor, uda sore gitu dan jalanan lumayan padat. Di depan gw ada motor dan yang buat gw tertarik itu orang yang duduk diboncengan ini bongsor bow sampe yang nyetirin naek motornya ajah gak keliatan. Biasanya kan orang naik motor tuh 2-2nya keliatan kan, yang mengemudi sama penumpangnya. Tapi yang ini gak keliatan, terus saya sudah mulai menebak sepertinya si bule deh. Eh pas mobil gw lewatin mereka, gw liat beneran ternyata bule. Dan mereka lagi tarik tiga, jadi si bule melukin anaknya yang lagi tidur gitu dan si tukang ojeknya. Nih bule melukin anaknya protective banget deh, dan si anak tidur peacefully walaupun diatas motor.

***

Dari ketiga scene diatas, apa yang bisa kalian pelajari? Kalo saya, saya sungguh-sungguh belajar not to judge a man by his wealth, but his personality. Apalagi buat cari suami ntarannya. Emang no doubt banget, kita sebagai cewe butuh rasa aman dalam hal financial. Tapi dari kejadian sehari-hari yang gw pelajarin ini adalah look for something in a man that money can't buy. Again I say look for something  that money can’t buy. His integrity, character, and his heart for God.

Sekian aja deh postingan ini. Mau post dari bulan Agustus pas lagi kejadian, tapi ga sempet terus >,< Mood nulis lagi super ilang ahaha.

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
