Lost Sight, Found Strength

The path is so dark and dim, but Julie keeps walking. She is scared, yet her adrenaline makes her look back several times, urging her to walk faster with each step. She wonders why she can't move faster and then realizes it's just her thoughts getting wilder the longer she's on the road. She shouldn't have chosen this path—terrified and confused. She's already halfway through. It sucks. The only way is to adapt, over time. She has one more block, two more, and again she convinces herself it's just one more step to her destination. She's no longer afraid when she starts looking at the sky instead of the road. The evening feels scarier when it's right in front of our eyes, but when it's above, the stars are beautiful. The cold air on her skin feels warmer as her mind grows calmer. Gently, she realizes that she's no longer worried. In fact, she's arrived, in no time. -- I think loneliness comes from the mind. It's not about being surrounded ...

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.

Family in Peace: Makna Damai Kristus

Ester, Yakobus, dan Markus.
Yakobus bilang ketika kita hidup di dalam situasi penderitaan, kita diminta untuk berdoa. Hidup hingga pikiran kita kacau~ pengendalian diri secara sengaja, BERDOA. Saling mendoakan baik untuk orang lain agar kita sendiri mendapatkan damai sejahtera. Hal ini memanglah tidaklah mudah.
Ester menceritakan sikap Haman yang tersinggung kepada Mordekhai. Ester sendiri malah minta kematian Haman, hal ini pun menjadi pikiran yang berat oleh Raja Ahasyweros. Contoh ini adalah gambaran dari kekecewaan dan kekecewaan dapat menghasilkan suatu keburukan.
Dalam Markus, murid-murid Yesus protes mengenai orang lain yang mengusir roh jahat di dalam nama-Nya. Tapi Yesus bilang barangsiapa yang tidak melawan kita (Pengikut Kristus) adalah bagian dalam kita, yang berhak mendapat hak dan berkat dari Tuhan Yesus. Hal ini menggambarkan kuasa dan kasih sayang Tuhan tidak terbatas pada hanya kalangan mereka melainkan pada semua orang yang percaya. Bagi setiap orang yang percaya pasti mendapat anugerah Damai Sejahtera yang daripada Tuhan.
Berdoa adalah hidup orang beriman. 24/7 hidup berjalan bersama Tuhan. Bahkan dalam amarah, kekecewaan, kegelisahan, keinginan, peristiwa yang Tuhan izinkan dalam hidup kita, dan perbuatan kita, datang kepada Tuhan. Sumber Damai Sejahtera hanyalah didalam Tuhan. Jadi: tidak ada damai sejahtera maka kita sedang menjauhkan diri kita kepada Tuhan Yesus.
 Ya, memang dunia ini ga enak tapi Tuhan Yesus adalah sumber kekuatan dan hidup. Kita yang berusaha untuk menjadikan hidup kita sebagai damai sejahtera, kita yang berusaha TETAP MENGANDALKAN DAMAI SEJAHTERA DALAM HATI DAN PIKIRAN KITA. Bayangkan jika kita ada didalam keluarga dan kita tidak memiliki pikiran demikian? TUHAN YESUS ADALAH JAWABAN.
Jika kita sudah tidak memiliki alasan/ buntu untuk melihat jalan untuk mencintai dan mengasihi orang-orang di sekitar kita, masih ada Tuhan Yesus yang setia untuk mengasihi kita apa adanya dan kita yang penuh dosa oleh darah-Nya kita sembuh. Tuhan Yesus yang mengobati kesedihan mu, kesepian mu, kekecewaan mu, penyesalan mu, meredakan amarah mu, dan memerdekakan mu.
Bagaimana datang kepada Tuhan:
BERDOA
CURAHKAN ISI HATI KEPADA TUHAN
PUJI DAN SEMBAH TUHAN
MENDENGAR FIRMAN TUHAN
AMPUNI DIRI SENDIRI DAN ORANG LAIN (semua ada waktunya, tapi sejak datang kepada Tuhan, bukan lagi hati amarah dan pikiran jahat kita yang menguasai melainkan SEGERA jadikan kita berubah, menanggalkan pendirian kita yang lama dan ikut apa yang Tuhan minta dari kita: IA YANG MENJADI DAMAI SEJAHTERA KITA)
JALAN BERSAMA TUHAM YESUS.

Like A Superman

He holds my hand and we're going to the grocery store. Lots of couples and the children. "Why don't we have kids, too?" "Hmm... Convince me until the end of our grocery time so we can have kids." I don't remember what he did but he actually made me believe we need to have kids. But, at the end of grocery time, his face turned sad. He found me still in doubt to have kids. "This night, I do." And, he smiled. While we back home, around the neighborhood, we visit the city park.  "You are beautiful." "You are the most handsome person I won't give up to any men, even if he's king of England." "Well, that too much." "Or even, if you don't love me anymore." "I won't." There comes the woman, she used to be his woman. He chats with her while I keep smiling. I know myself. She really loves him. I mean, she is gorgeous, he is gorgeous, and I might be cute. So, he cho...

Another Past: Monolog

Image
Gwenda Abbon, 18 years old was living in the place, right on the center of the earth, called The Whaledome. It's really a big massive dome and stood side by side with the ancient center earth cave called Ancient Maze. She used to live in the future. You might not want to know the year, but Gwenda told me, our world will not be what we used to know, anymore. Gwenda is a ghost, from the future, she said that she knew she will be on the past after she died. And now, she haunted me. I am the writer. Gwenda told me about the future she is being told before The Whaledome road down to Ancient Maze. She used to be history teacher, there she told me everything about the doomsday. Economy has a throne of power, politics is only seen as a form of fraud and no one believes anyone. Everyone will be crazy for an idea to save the world and war is everywhere. The world is not to be saved, but the souls, as notified by valuable book to everyone. But no one believed it. Earthquake...

To be Unfaithful

Maybe I'm not the first choice or the one who had been expected. Maybe I'm not someone who is perfect for him. Maybe I'm just holding this during my journey with him. Until I walk alone, try on myself facing the truths , I was slapped with fond memories of his pieces and they were always there in every sheet of my life. I was slapped with how beautiful he had filled my life. At the end of my journey, I know I love him. I think it was a game, but it turned out I found a pillow and blanket  currently most comfort and what I needed. Now, I would never be able to jump over the wall where I did not have any tools to break even destroy it. I just will always cooped up in a cage. Many things I've done to make myself enjoy life in a cage, but it turns out when I realized how bored now, I had forgotten how fun outside the cage. I thought I was late to realize that the world outside the cage, but it turned out they were friends outside the cage care of me, even though I was...
