Adakalanya, ada waktunya, sesuatu berlaku tanpa kita sedari. Adakalanya, ada waktunya, sesuatu itu terjadi bukanlah kerana kita menginginkannya berlaku. Tanpa kita sedar, dan sebelum kita meminta sepotong ayat memohon pertolongan, tangan ikhlas sudah dihulurkan.
2 Timotius 1:7
Roh yang diberikan oleh Allah kepada kita menjadikan kita penakut, sebaliknya Roh Allah melengkapi kita dengan kuasa, kasih, dan kekuatan untuk mengawal diri.
Adakalanya, kehidupan kita menjadi terlalu pahit untuk diteruskan sehingga ada yang berani melakukan sesuatu yang tidak sepatutnya, Selidiki terlebih dahulu, amati sebetulnya bagaimana sesuatu perkara terjadi. Fokus kepada akar umbi permasalahan dan bukan atas faktor punca semata.
Mazmur 119: 7-10
Ketika aku mempelajari ketetapan Mu yang adil, aku akan memuji Engkau dengan hati yang murni. Aku akan taat kepada hukum-Mu, jangan sesekali tinggalkan aku! Bagaimanakah seorang pemuda dapat hidup dengan suci? Dia dapat hidup dengan suci dengan mentaati perintah-Mu. Dengan sepenuh hati aku berusaha untuk mentaati Engkau; jangan biarkan aku menyimpang daripada peintah-Mu.
Ketuklah, maka pintu akan dibukakan untukmu. Mintalah, maka kamu akan diberikan.

Christmas 2016
Can't wait for the day to come. I v been believing that each year will bring its own troubles, sweetness and many others. Since 2015, I v been thinking that 2016 are going to be a very hard year for me but looking at the calendar now, I think that I have made it so far and I shall marching on a little bit faster to call it a year end.
During Christmas, most people will assume that its about time to enjoy the moment of spending your time with your loved ones. You will see a lot of department store selling all those ornaments, red and green decorations, silver bells, holly, mistletoe and colored lights. Universal mantra "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas" will also be heard here and there at almost all department store to attract their customers to buy their items. Even all of us will greetings each other with Merry Christmas all along.
But do everyone knows on the exact meaning of Christmas? Does Christmas seems to be the joint word of Christ Mass to celebrate the day of our beloved Jesus birthday. Lets look into Matthew 12:36-37
"But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof int the day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
Lets try to put aside all the normal customs and traditions of celebrating Christmas, which were taken from pagan witchcraft and popularized by Roman Catholic church, and learn slowly to focus on the true meaning of the words, "Merry Christmas!"
Merry define as happy while Mass in religious usage means a death sacrifice. If that concludes the meaning of Christmas, then I believe that we will need to say it slowly now, not in a happy mood that our God has died on the cross to clean our sin. Or you can choose to think about it again before you say anything.

Keep Forgetting is a Sign of Aging?
A few days ago, the sweet friend of mine make a remarks saying that she keep forgetting this days. Is it a sign of aging? To be honest, its not a question to be answered. We will all be old one day and its a definite one destination for all of us.
Do not forget that in every of our blessing, there is a blessing for others too. Keep forgetting that will lead us to the be a bad kind of person. Be nice. Work hard. Do not take things for granted because every small things lead to a bigger things in life.
It may seems wonderful from the outside, but we never know how rotten the fruit could be. Be it in the fruit, or a person, dress our inner well to walk best in life. It is definitely not about how pretty your dresses are, but how did you react to your surrounding. Does your surrounding supporting you? Does your surrounding deny you over something?
Do not have grudge towards other. Let go of one person mistakes and give them a chance to be a better person. Sit still whenever you are needed to. Do not rush over something that you can't even verify how true it was.
Love yourself more. Be young in your heart.
