5th June 2009

Few weeks ago, on 5th June 2009, there was a great things that happened in my life. It was like another Friday, until 11.30 PM, I heard a big shouting from my parents’ room.

My father was unconscious. It made my family panic and tried to call him. I called an ambulance to bring my father to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctor said that my father’s pituitary gland is broken. It was caused by aneurysm that’s broken caused pituitary becomes thinner. My father was carried to ICU section. My father was held by ICU doctor, neurologist, and special neurologist surgery.The ICU doctor told us to call all family member and prepare for the worst thing. The neurologist explain to us about the possibility cause of the problem.

The special neurologist surgery gave us a good news. He said that my father had hope to survive. We had to move him to hospital headquarter in Karawaci. After I received that good news from the last doctor, I arranged my father movement to hospital headquarter. They prepared all of the tools, doctor, medicine, and ambulance for this movement.

At hospital headquarter in Karawaci, I received bad news from neurologist team. They said that my father conciousness value is too small for going surgery. They suggest me to let my father go. Because it wasn’t any hope. When all of my family heard about it, we are very sad. I decided to take my family out of ICU room and pray. In my prayer, I asked for my father life.

After half an hour, we called by neurologist team, they said that my father was moving his hand and the conciousness value has raised and they were ready to do surgery on my father brain. The surgery was prepared and the neurogist team had prepared the surgery room. The surgery takes 10 and half hours, from 11.30 AM until 10.00 PM.

At 05.30 PM, the neurologist team leader call us and told that the surgery has been succeeded. All of our family were thankfull to God and we continue to wait until my father come out from surgery room. At 10.00 PM, my father was moved to ICU room.

Few days later, we saw many recovery progress from my father. At 24st June 2009, my father was able to go home. I’m thankfull that his recovery has been very fast. Thanks for all supports and prays from my friends.

Struggle For Your Life

Few weeks ago, before new year, I received challenge from my friend. The challenge was to lead a small group. I was doubt whether I’m able to handle it. After new year, she contacted me to follow up the group. At this time, I’m sure that I shouldn’t take it. I don’t know why, but my pray lead me to ‘NO’ answer. I really struggle when I’m thinking of handle the group, but before I answered ‘NO’, I found few problems behind the challenge.

Few days before I answered, I got a ‘bitter’ answer from the other friend about something that we’ve prayed together. That answer really ‘hit’ me. It made me sad. Eventhough, God give me strength through His Word in Roman 8:28-30. That God is works in “every circumstances” for our goodness. It made me strong and made me struggle for my life.

Last but not least, last day, my bos gave me a pre-sales job. I was exiting about it. I have to learn an ‘uncertain things’ in sales world. I had to keep try to find a ‘good word’ to present a good proposal. We worked ’till morning and in whole night every part of the proposal was made. We finished at 06.00 AM in the morning and sent the proposal to our office.

From these last three situations, I learn about struggling in my life. I learn that life is not being just ‘life’ and having all done. But a better living is about struggling and realizing that God is walk beside you. My title here means that struggling makes you life on a true living. Gbu all.

Guard your heart with all of your energy

Ha ha … actually I don’t have better title for this posting, but one thing that I know that guarding heart is such an important things. Sometimes we don’t realize that we face many trouble, many un-necessary thoughts only because we failed to guard our heart. On the few last days, I felt the same distress because I’m not guarding my heart. My problem is always the same about girls. I don’t mean that I have any troubles with any girls, but I begin to understand that God has given us a perfect match for our lives.

Till this point, many people will ask, how do we know about it ? Keep it simple, sometimes people are driven by their feelings to get his/her match. But sometimes, we forget about our thoughts. We forget about how his grace is beyond all of it. One conclution that I can get is be happy with all that you’ve got. Enjoy it and be glad in it. I’m sure that one day, God will tell you about your perfect match. Friends with anyone and do not make any fence in your life. Guard your heart with the loving God more than anything. That’s your turning point, that’s where you have to start.

Because without loving God, you can easily trapped by your feeling. Without realizing that God is love you and want you to get the best match from him, you wouldn’t able to find your perfect match. I did the same, even till today, sometimes, I still waiting for my friends that’s work with me. I didn’t realize that the best is yet to come. Without realize that the perfect match is waiting. he he … A girl that’s been closed to me since 2003. She is different from the first one, someone special that God give to my life.

I don’t know when we could be together, because till now we haven’t been made up. But one thing for sure that God want me to keep my heart till that time

Gbu all,

Believe and give u’r live to God

That statement is sound for me when I faced like no hope for my ministry. A ministry that’s been done for so many years but as God want me to up one level, He took me to a circumstances that shaking up my comfort zone. It was fabulous when know that He has a great plan through every condition. Including discomfort situation on your ministry. Many times I think to give up. Give up my ministry and be an ‘ordinary’ Christian. But one word from my friend that remind me, and in every step of my life I see His grace was back me up. That’s make me wake up and make my strive for my problem.

I will tell all of you what God do with my problem after I see His Grace fixed and solve it. Gbu All

get bored ? it’s an opportunity to stay

Many people think that if they get bored in someplace, then it will be a good time to move. But sometimes it isn’t. When we get bored on our job, that’s mean we are warned to not comfortable to all things that we’ve achieved. That’s a challenge to be creative, to use our time effectively and not a good time to give up. So when you get bored, just stop your daily activity and re think about creative thing that will improve your knowledge. Something new but in the same place. Be maximized, be  creative.

What Indonesian can do

Sometimes when we walk or travel to another country, then the first things that come out in our mind are ‘ what if Indonesia become like …’ or ‘it’s impossible that Indonesia will become … ‘. But when I go to two country last week, I saw that Indonesia still has a chance to become bigger and better country than Singapore or Malaysia.

Meaby few readers will laugh and say ‘you’re dreaming’ … but let me tell the reason:

1. Malaysia has a wide area with many undiciplined manner (same as Indonesia). but they have unity mentality that’s Indonesian’s should have

2. Singaporean are not nationalist because of their diversity, their uniting tool is their working needs, Indonesian have a lot of people that love their country( I don’t say ‘all’ ) but their is many person.

So the problem is not about the people and the technology, they better than us because they urge to force them self to develop. I thought we are able to force ourself to develop. For example, if employee of Nike Indonesia move to national shoes corporation, then we will be able to produce high quality shoes better with our brand. Because many of our products were imported to another country with Nike branded.

The key of this development is unity and discipline. We can build our country together by

1. work in another country, pick their knowledge and made it for build your country

2. work in multi national corporation, and try to make it on your own … use their management knowledge

3. If you are work in national company, you can learn from another person that work in multi national company, meaby … Indonesian knowledge based website could help

On the other hand, I saw that many of Indonesian wasn’t able to be discipline, we must make discipline from ourself, developing yourself and try to be discipline in every aspect. Meaby readers can help me to list it.

So let’s make Indonesia better, without use a poverty as a obstacle for us to move forward.  Let develop together in your own skils area.

Believe even there is no ground to believe

The title of this article could means a foolishness, to trust and obey eventhough there is no ground to believe. Many will say, ” how could I believe something that I don’t understand ? ” But perhaps few could say, ” That’s live buddy “. But manytimes in ourlives, we face many cistumstances that’s force us to believe and just face it through. Eventhough it’s hard, eventhough it’s difficult, eventhough it just like ‘hit a big rock’ , but it force us to believe on something (in Our God or in Ourselves) to face it through.

But it will just a ussual experience, if you not use it as a practice to believe in God. For me, to face problems in my job is like dreaming. I study to believe that my God will give me a way out in His Time. Eventhough , in the end, it was my friend that solved the problem, but I learn to believe that God still care about me and bless me through my friend. Did I have any ground to believe ? The answer is none at the beginning, because my great boss that ussualy help me on server’s problem wasn’t able to help me.

The point of this article is: “It was our choice to direct our lifes, but to study in believing God will make your life direction clearer”

See Life through Different Perpective

When we faced problems through our eyes, all will seem to end without hope. But when we try to see the problems through different perspective, we will see the rainbow above all problems. But the great things of a problem is that difficult and never end. But when we take the problem as practice for us to enhanced our ability, to make us stronger, to make us know who our God is, to make us study from our mistakes, and to make us know the meaning of our life, then we will be courage to move step ahead.

Life is a journey and preparation for an eternity life. We life on this world as preparation for everlasting life. For millions, or billions years ahead. When we see our life as a short journey, then we won’t see this life as a precious moment. When I ponder about life, my mind was wondering about Jon Bon Jovi song “It’s My Life”. A Lyric on that song says that “it’s my life, it’s now or never, I ain’t gonna life forever, I just want to live while I’m alive”. It seems to be right, but have you ever thing that we are made to be last forever. If we have that point of view, we will change the way we life and the way we schedule our time.

I must confess that these latest few days were the hardest part on my life. I have to face many mysterious problem on the system that I support. But from this problem, I began to learn about my God and experiencing Him through my job. The other problem, that was come before my job problem, it’s the matter of heart. I was fall in love with one girl, that I’ve been known since 2002. She was talented, smart, great and capable in everything that she does. But unfortunately, she was fall in love with somebody else. It was a great shocked for my life. But the life must go on, everything must step forward and I study to never regret on everything that’s been through. But it wasn’t easy to realized that my life was not end in here, I have to live my life with a different way of living. Then I after all of this problems, I conclude that it was the matter of choice, to life with your own perspective or on better perspective.
