Pride and Things Around It

I think pride is necessary. 
Not the kind of pride that looks down on others. Not the kind of pride that makes you think you’re better than others. Not the kind of “lucifer” pride thing. 

More of the kind of pride that makes you feel good about yourself. The kind that make you feel like you belong. The confidence that you’re doing well because God has enable you to do so. 
The kind that, you know, still gives God the glory... but at the same time gives you the confidence you need to move forward, to embrace life.

Sometimes, your best is just not good enough. And sometimes you wonder.... is there really such thing as “free will”? Because at the end of the day, God’s plans prevail. And those plans.... are good even if you can’t see it now. 

Im one who questions a lot. Like, A LOT. Im one who thinks deeper than most people. But Im also one who knows that my faith in God is greater than all my questions, thoughts and doubts.

So God, if You’re reading this..... I dont even wanna talk to You right now. You know how upset I am. Like a child, Im throwing my tantrum at You right now. 

.... and like any good parent, You stood Your ground and refused to give in to my tantrum. You let me have my fit, but You never leave me. You’re watching me, making sure I dont hurt myself. You know I need to vent. You know I need to release that steam off me. 

Im not done, God. Let me still throw my tantrum. I need it.

And as what I always tell Sonia.... Im telling you this too: know that You still have me. I may roll on the ground, give You a hardtime, scream my lungs out.... but hey, dont we all do it from time to time? You have my heart no matter what. Regardless. I love You. There.

You don’t have to give me all the answers. You are sovereign. Still enthroned in my life, and You will always be.  Remember that prayer I said on 7 February 1999? Yeah, THAT one particular prayer...... I meant it. 

And I also know, that You love me. No matter what too.
So, there we have it. We’re good.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4.

Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
