the past six months have been great, from the first seed that i sowed back in november until the last seed that i sowed last week. there are times when it feels like i m being robbed, sowing in tears, but there are times when i sowed joyfully because of his abundant blessings and protection in my life. well, ever since i sowed in november, my life has been PROSPEROUS, more PROSPEROUS and is now VERY PROSPEROUS. mantap.
Ketika kita membangun rumah Tuhan, Tuhan akan membangun rumah kita. ada amin? 
taon lalu bulan desember, aku pindah rumah sm dora, n my parents were totally supportive despite the 50% increase in the rental fee. and ketika aku balik indo, mama tiba2 mau RENOVASI seluruh rumah. rumah nya skrg aku blom liat kyk apa, tp yg pasti BAGUS ^^ kata pst aries bener.. RESESI?? apa tuh resesi??? my family doesnt live in recession. well i dont say we dont experience the decline in sales, the shrinking budget that we have to live with.. we do.. but our standard of living didnt decline despite the recession, my parents can still afford it
and the best is.. selama liburan di indo, aku dikasi duit jajan bnyk bener.. dr PAPA, MAMA dan KOKO… pdhl biasa yg ngasi duit jajan cmn mama doang.. ^^ it totalled up to almost 1,5x my pledge amount
and then.. in march, my grandmother came over to singapore for medical checkup which never happened before. and she gave me extra allowance of the exact amount i pledged.
and end of march came my birthday, and i was given a Blackberry Curve 8900 (Javelin) which i never expected before. never ever ever ever. and many many many presents that overwhelmed me totally.
and now, when i was looking for an internship, well there was a waiting period that made me feel really frustrated, and there were times when i felt that God has forgotten about me. but i didnt give up and i kept trusting God and really covered this internship in my prayers. well, today i just clinched an internship offer on the spot, the pay isnt very much, but for an intern i dont expect much too.
not just financially, my ministry is also prospering. last year my svc attendance hardly hit 20, and its always a struggle to hit even 16. now we can easily hit 20, and if everybody can attend, we can easily hit 25. and our highest hit attendance was 35
well, over the past few days i learnt one thing about thanksgiving. it is a simple subject that is overtalked, but yet is forgotten. do you realize that if you are really nice to a person and keep thanking them and appreciating them for whatever good they did for you, they will do even more good for you and be happy to help you anytime? rather than to an unthankful person. well, i think this is the same thing with God. if we can give thanks to God for every single little thing that we experience, God will be more likely and more gladly to pour out His blessings to us.
so dont forget to GIVE THANKS in everything you do.
