I Was There

I re-checked my old email this morning. I found my ex-colleague's email (Aida). An email of her pics collection during our working time. We worked together in Centre for Modern Management (CMM) Kuching in 2004. It was still in Simpang Tiga office. These pics were during Ramah Tamah Aidilfitri in our office. I worked for 1 year here then I pursued my career as an educator. :)

To all my ex-colleague in CMM, all the best in your future undertaking. I missed this moment and it was a great opportunity working together with you guys.

A Tribute To My Dad

This post is specially dedicated to my dad. God called him back in 1998. I still remember, i got a chance sending him a handmade Father's Day card a month before he passed away. That was still fresh in my mind.

Dad, i was your little girl when i was young, now i have grown up as a woman. Thank you dad for your loves, patience, hardwork, kindness etc.. I remembered you sent me to school when i was in primary school, I remembered your hugs & kisses every time i came back from secondary school, I remembered your advices before i went to college... I remembered my last kiss on your chin & cheeks during our last meeting. Owh... how nice if i could go back to that time. (i just couldn't stop my tears rite now) :(

Thanks for being the BEST father to all of us (Igang, Billy, Ping, Kate n Me).
I love & miss you Dad. All of us love & miss you too. May you rest in peace! God bless.

Happy Father's Day to all Dads around the world too. Cherish all the time with your dad when u still have the chance.

This poem is for my dad.

What Makes a 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

Konsert Muda Mudi

X4JC was invited to perform in Konsert Muda-Mudi 2008 at The Summit Auditorium, Subang Jaya on 6th-7th June 2008.

Personally, it was fantastic nights. Everything was great.....p&w session, preaching and altar call session etc. I was truly blessed listening to Ps Peter De Run who came all the way from Kuching. He was great!

We had an opportunity meeting YB Hannah during the first session. We were blessed by her sharing that night.

Bersungut-sungut

Shalom! Saya sangat terpanggil untuk berkongsi renungan ini dengan semua pembaca. Ianya diambil daripada http://renungan-harian-online.blogspot.com/
I hope everyone will be blessed by reading this. Bersyukurlah dalam segala hal. May God bless you!


Ayat bacaan: Keluaran 15:22
======================

"Musa menyuruh orang Israel berangkat dari Laut Teberau, lalu mereka pergi ke padang gurun Syur; tiga hari lamanya mereka berjalan di padang gurun itu dengan tidak mendapat air."

Pernahkah anda melakukan perjalanan jauh? Biasanya dalam sebuah perjalanan anda akan berhadapan dengan banyak hal, situasi dan pengalaman. Anda bisa merasa capai, gembira, sedih, bosan, emosi dan sebagainya ketika melalui perjalanan tersebut. Perjalanan kerohanian kita pun seperti itu. Ada kalanya kita mengalami masa2 dimana Tuhan melakukan mukjizatnya, menolong kita, menyembuhkan kita, mengangkat kita dari kegelapan, melepaskan kita dari beban dan lain2, tapi ada kalanya kita menghadapi masa2 yang kurang menyenangkan.

Bangsa Israel punya sejarah panjang mengenai masalah bersungut-sungut ini. Alkitab memaparkan dengan jelas bagaimana mereka berulang kali bersungut-sungut, komplain dan mengutarakan ketidakpuasan mereka, meskipun mukjizat atas mereka sudah begitu banyak dilimpahkan Allah. Dalam ayat bacaan hari ini kita bisa melihat segera setelah mereka melewati Laut Teberau alias Laut Merah, dimana kisah laut terbelah yang menenggelamkan prajurit2 Firaun baru saja terjadi, bangsa Israel masuk ke padang gurun Syur, dan mengalami kesulitan air. Mukjizat penyelamatan luar biasa baru saja mereka alami, tapi kemudian ketika menghadapi kesulitan air, mereka sudah mulai bersungut-sungut lagi. Cuma bangsa Israel yang seperti ini? kalau mau jujur, kita yang hidup hari2 ini pun masih sering bertingkah seperti itu. Seringkali kita menghadapi masa2 sulit dengan bersungut-sungut. Kebanyakan orang berharap bahwa Tuhan akan segera menyelesaikan masalah kita secara instan, dan jika tidak, kita akan segera menggerutu, kesal dan bersungut2. Kalau kita lihat secara luas dalam hidup kita, begitu banyak berkat Tuhan yang turun atas kita sejak lahir hingga sekarang, betapa tidak pantasnya apabila menghadapi pencobaan kita langsung mengeluh.

Pada satu ketika, ada seseorang yang dirampok di jalan. Dalam seketika dia langsung dikerumuni orang banyak. Dia hanya tersenyum, dan hal itu mengherankan orang2 yang mengerumuninya. Ketika mereka bertanya, dia menjawab: ada dua hal yang membuat dia tersenyum. Satu, dia bersyukur dia cuma dirampok dan tidak dibunuh, dan kedua, dia dirampok dan bukan merampok.

Alkitab berbicara berulang kali mengenai hidup dengan penuh sukacita. Kalau kita mengenal pribadi Tuhan, kita akan tahu betapa hidup kita ini ada dalam tanganNya. Jadi buat apa kita mengeluh? Kalaupun Tuhan mengijinkan kita berjalan dalam lembah permasalahan supaya kita terlatih dan ditempa untuk percaya dan bergantung sepenuhnya kepadaNya. Tetaplah mengucap syukur dalam segala hal, karena Dia adalah Allah yang setia yang tidak pernah membiarkan anak2Nya berjalan sendirian. Tuhan akan selalu memberikan solusi sesuai waktunya Tuhan. Ayat Mazmur 103:2 yang berbunyi "Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku, dan janganlah lupakan segala kebaikan-Nya" (Mazmur 103:2) dapat menjadi sebuah ayat yang selalu mengingatkan kita untuk tetap hidup dalam sukacita dan tidak melupakan segala berkat yang telah kita terima dari Tuhan.

Dalam kondisi apapun, mari persembahkan segala puji2an, hormat dan kemuliaan pada Bapa.

Does God still speak to people?

HOPE THIS STORY WILL ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY WITH GOD!

A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible Study.The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does God still speak to people?' After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.

Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.

It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'God...if you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'

As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, 'God is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.

The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. 'Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.

As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that street.'

This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.

Half jokingly, he said out loud, 'Okay, God, I will.'

He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something! , 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street.' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.

'Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.

Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.'

He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice! yelled
out, 'Who is it? What do you want?' Then the door opened before the young man could get away.

The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. 'What is it?'

The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, 'Here, I brought this to you.' The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk! toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.

The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk.' His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?'

The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face.

He knew that God still answers prayers.

Thanks Anne for this beautiful email. May everyone be blessed. I am touched! I believe God will answer my prayers too. Just have FAITH! Amen!
