Reserve

As I sat on the sofa, I leaned against an invisible shoulder.  I walked quickly right toward him. He also came toward me, so quickly that we almost hit each other's heads. We both laughed. The obstacle was that I couldn’t see what was holding me back today. 'I shouldn’t have run toward you. If I had been a little faster, we could have ended up hitting each other,' he said. I didn’t say anything. I thought the funnier this meeting began, the better it would be. Yet, typical him, he just a mind-reader. I only smiled and replied, "Let's just go walk, now." yet I remained frozen in space and time, just me and emptiness. We're walking to the city park and just went around, nothing really far but our steps actually might count like a mile. Restless just with him. I simply sat in silence, lost in my thoughts. It's nothing like there's no other place we can be. It's just I found my complete and I don't need to find anywhere else. "If only our ...

Do you know why it's hard to say goodbye? Because we afraid if our memories might not be able to remember them, rightly. The fact is, goodbye means good. No matter how hard.

Persembahan Sulung dan Persembahan Sukarela

Persembahan: objek, suatu hadiah kepada orang yang terhormat, yaitu Tuhan Yesus.
: bicara tentang sikap hati, kemauan sendiri bukan dengan kewajiban. Kita melakukan Firman Tuhan bukan karena disuruh melainkan karena kita mengasihi Tuhan Yesus.

Persembahan Sulung pun bukan suatu kewajiban. Ciri-ciri:
1. Dilakukan oleh orang yang bekerja. Ada level dalam persembahan. Awalnya persepuluhan.
2. Tidak wajib dilakukan. Kalau dilakukan pasti mendapat berkat (Janji Tuhan).
3. Diberikan pada awal bulan dalam kalender orang Yahudi (bulan Nisan)
Tapi yang paling penting adalah SIKAP HATI:
1. Punya mental Kerajaan Allah. 1 Timotius 6:10, jangan cinta uang dan pelit, khawatir.
2. Punya ketaatan, melakukan dengan iman. Berhitunglah bersama Tuhan Yesus, pasti Tuhan Yesus luruskan perbendaharaan kita dan jelas masuk/keluarnya. Selalu libatkan Tuhan Yesus dalam memakai uang,
3. Memberikan dengan sukacita, 2 Korintus 9:7
4. Memberikan yang terbaik, bukan yang sisa. 
Tokoh:
HABEL, Kejadian 4:4, sikap hatinya menggunakan standar Tuhan
ABRAHAM, Kejadian 22, sikap hatinya taat
HANA, IBU SAMUEL, ia bernazar.
JANDA DI SARFAT, ia memberi yang terbaik apa yang dia punya.
Apa yang kita dapat?
1. Mendapat terobosan didalam keuangan. IMANMU NAIK, IMANMU DALAM INGIN MEMBERI YANG TERBAIK UNTUK TUHAN SEMAKIN BERTAMBAH, ada pengelolaan yang baik bersama Tuhan. Kita menjadi dewasa dan siap untuk mendapatkan berkat yang melimpah-limoah dari Tuhan.
2. Bekat yang melimpah-limpah sampai tumpah. Bahkan kita ga bisa menolak untuk memberkati orang lain. Menerima berkat Tuhan itu NIKMAT, BOSS! Seluruh penghidupan mu dipegang Tuhan, sampai kesehatan sekalipun.
3. Menerima perlindungan dari Tuhan yang luar biasa. Tentang pertemanan, sahabat, Tuhan yang pisahkan. Karena bagian murid mendapat pelatihan yang berbeda, perlindungan yang LUAR BIASA. KAWANAN YANG KUATNYA BERSTANDAR TUHAN.

Persembahan Sukarela/Menabur
Kisah Para Rasul 2:41-47.
Ayat 45: memberikan yg sesuai dgn kemampuanmu. Maka akan diberikan sesuai dengan keperluanmu. Berhikmat, bukan berhutang.
Kisah Para Rasul 4:32-37.
Ayat 33: bukan ttg uang, tapi juga menabur kesaksian.
Ikuti pergerakan Tuhan.

Nazar: Janji seseorang kepada Allah, benazar yang mampu kau lakukan. 
Komitmenmu sama Tuhan itu ada waktu. Tidak lebih dari itu. Kalau kau tidak sanggup, minta ampun. Bertobat. Imamat 7:16.
Pengkhotbah 5:4-5, 
2 Korintus 8:12, pasti dari apa yang ada pada kita dan kemampuan kita. Bukan dari apa yg tidak ada pada kita, jadi jgn mengada-adakan. Pasti dari apa yg kita miliki dan dari apa yg kita berikan, pasti dicukupkan.

I leave it to you

If she reads this... Are you happy? I wish for my happiness every day. Are you smiling? I work so hard to put a smile on my face. Are you thankful? I have to keep saying it out loud until I do. Are you among friends? I don't have. Are you having future? I don't have. I wish I didn't fool myself. I wish I can wish something from the past. I hurt myself. I can't change. I have no longer chance. I thought I don't matter. In this time or after this time. I don't matter. Before you remember me, I wish I have already gone. So, you don't need to be so sad. When you turn your back to see me. When I'm gone.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: Sense for Being Smart

Some people reacted with how the dumbest thing about BATMAN V SUPERMAN  wants to sound smart. Well, I want to watch a film that makes me giggled for how hacks of cinema arts are all over the place and makes me think how my hobbies like reading old books, watching old movies, remembering favorite old songs, and loving the past artists and characters becomes worth it.  The most odd thing is people hated when BATMAN V SUPERMAN  mostly took out many comic book references to each scene, each line, and each shot. They put it as a movie too lazy to develop, a parody of cleverness and cultivation. Most people go to cinemas are not always a comic book nerds or movie nerds and came from any aspects of department. They not love films like the way we do, the way I do. But for me by that definition, they think as: Superhero movies can't be a parody of cleverness and cultivation. Well, this is perfectly wrong.  " A parody " means its fun. " Cleverness ...
