The Beginning


and the story starts


Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


Growing up in a family that run their own business as the occupation makes me have a hope to be someone who run my own business later on when I grow up. If you ask me now, what will I do next? I cannot answer right away. I'm still praying for it, doing what I need to do now, and waiting for the answer. Believing that there’s no a coincidence in my life, as God has planned everything since before I have born, I know that this check point of today’s me is what I am supposed to be. Recently my friend shared about advanced learning. That’s when I started to realize once again that I am today, is not me, if there’s no God in my life. I need to learn what He asks me to learn nowadays. In this post, I just want to share something about learning to trust God, at the beginning. 

Everyone has a turn point in life. Speaking of which, I think that my turn point from a kid stage to a step more mature was when I had my national final exam for high school graduation. That was a very memorable moment in my life, my first time to really believe that I chose not a wrong God, but my God is alive and His Words are also alive. That was really a bet for a high school girl who was not good in Biology to keep the integrity in doing the final test and put the trust in God. It's about self pride, school pride, and family pride. Should I did not pass the final exam, me, my family, and school would be the words in town. Yet, the miracle happened. When I chose to really gave my study to God, He's in control. When I did the Biology test, it was my first time saw the terms and questions. I did not know how to answer, I prayed. In those only little faith and hope, the miracle happened. With God's grace I passed the exam. More over, with the given score beyond what I prayed. At the beginning, I only prayed to pass the exam. He gave more that that. That was when my life story keeps going on to more and more interesting. Since that day on, whenever I faced a test, I prayed, "God please help me to show the way of how to answer, as I believe in You." A faithful prayer can change.

Processes are not easy. If it's easy, no need for us to learn. I really squeezed my Biology books during my study preparation and even I wanted to throw the books when I finished the test. That's how I was really desperate about that subject. After knowing the exam's score, I realized that what human cannot do, there's still a possibility of a way out, the way in God.

Entering undergraduate, short work time, master degree, and work era, here I am today. Doing the work I work now feels like a trailer and a training for doing what a 'business' seems to be. At the first, I felt that this work was difficult and I thought that I could not do this kind of job, with my personality and capability. But, the flashbacks of my previous stories of life kept coming to me. Level up! Difficulties will go up and results will be better as well. Even when I see it's difficult, I still want to try doing what I can. I need to be strong, learning, and keep going. I don't want to be some one who lose in the battle of my self, so do you! I know that He's my Father, provider, protector and my guidance. 

To whoever you are who read this. Faith journey keeps going on. Don't be afraid if the battleground is something that you cannot handle by your own. You are not alone. The today's me the proves that God really has made a great timeline story for us, to show His love for all of us. I am still a human who has flesh and soul. I also ever did sins, but what I am grateful is I'm choosing not to lose in sins but left them and trying to win over. Mistakes happen. But, how you deal with mistakes counts. Nobody to somebody that is very precious. You are precious! Hang on the process! Don't give up. I know that it hurts, but you'll see something bigger at the end. Walking hand in hand with God. Be an advanced learner and be a winner over a hurdle. Keep your testimony be shared. We don't know when any of who hear our testimony shares the same situation with us. Let's learn together. We can do it!

Special thanks to all people that have been in my life! Without you, there's no me. God bless all.

See you in my next post!

Keep going readers~
