The awesomeness of God

with one comment

When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities.  When GOD doesn’t solve our problems HE has faith in our abilities.
if we will only entrust Him with our lives.
One may observe God’s accuracy in the hatching of eggs. . . . .
  • those of the canary in 14 days;
  • those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
  • eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days;
  • those of the mallard in 35 days;
  • The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)
See God’s wisdom in the making of an elephant. . . .
The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body – too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.  The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.    A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

Treasures for a woman’s heart

leave a comment »

Ladies out there… what do you treasure the most?

hmmm… if I am to answer that question few months back, the options would be…

  1. My BRAIN, though I am not a Berkeley graduate, but I am not a dumb dumb blonde girl… at the very least I know how to tab my own bill.
  2. My BEAUTY, I always say I am beautiful. Then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
  3. My BEHAVIOUR, I can be cool and collected even when I am about to explode. I use kind gestures, encouraging expressions, and positive words to most people around me. I know my way around people. I read Malcolm Gladwell’s books.

But right now, I tell you, I treasure something rather different. And it’s totally true what they said, where your treasure is, your heart is.

Disappointed

Do you remember one of my posts about Flood in Jakarta?

Well, last Friday, we got news that our salary was deducted because we were absent from work even when it was because of the flood. I was so disappointed. Logically, I could not go to my workplace because the water was flooding the roads. Did they expect me to swim to work? I was speechless when I checked my bank account to find half of million (in indonesian rupiah) was not there. I felt…. 😦

I stumbled upon this clip on youtube. It did not help much, but it helped indeed.

If My People Pray

leave a comment »

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14 –

I have been wondering on how my prayers can be heard, maybe you have been wondering too. And today, He says it bluntly to me through a song and Scripture reading. Literally I “only” need to humble myself, pray, seek His face and turn from wicked ways. It’s no time and place to ask again. I need to do it, then He will hear…

 

Happy Sunday people. Do as He told.

14 Ways To Handle A Christian Introvert

…if you do, we are loyal to you for life.

If you ever met me, you would think I was an extrovert — I preach, I lead praise, I talk to everyone, I talk too much, and you can hear me laughing from across the street — but I am a full-blooded introvert.

If it were up to me, I’d rather be in my boxers all day eating Godiva while browsing food photo blogs and bothering my dog and cracking up at YouTube videos of Whose Line Is ItAnyway and leaving dry ironic comments all over Facebook while reading the latest theory on how Sherlock survived the second season finale. 

I intensely guard my personal space and my private life.  It takes a herculean effort to step outside my comfort zone and interact with messy, fleshy, real live human beings.

Here’s how you handle us.

Giving A Person More Attention Because They’re Attractive: And We All Do It

leave a comment »

We all, indeed, do it!

J.S. Park: Hospital Chaplain, Skeptical Christian



Ever prayed more for someone just because they’re hot?

Come on, I’ve done that too. Let’s not act like we’re above judging looks here. We give more cred to someone based on their defined jawline and thinner waist than their less tangible patience and hospitality and compassion.

A very fleshy part of our human nature presumes that good-looking people are also just good, or that less good-looking people don’t really count somehow.

In church it’s easy to ask for prayer requests from the well-off, well-dressed, clean-cut, easily approachable mid-twenties demographic. Not the weird cat lady off the street, not the dude with the one rotten tooth who talks up a storm, not the pale socially awkward kid who says dorky things.

Most Christian books have the same problem: they’re geared to that same easygoing group of believers who attend the same megachurch in a crimeless suburban gated neighborhood with the…
