What can I learn from Jonathan's life.

Got to read in 1 Samuel chapter 20 today, and I felt a real commitment of friendship between Jonathan and David. Jonathan told David that he loves David as he loves himself, and he is truly believe that David is the man of God, for he chose to encourage and support David, who is his dad's enemy. One thing I see it so clear is that Jonathan is willing to follow God's plan, and he believe that God is with David who will be the next King of Israel. It's hard to see the son refuses to protect his own dad and choose to help dad's enemy to sit on his dad's throne.

This can be a good example to me, but it's also a big challenge for me. Will I ever betrayed someone whom God sets for his plan because I choose to stand on someone else' side? Will I value God's plan less than man's pleasure? I can confess that I've done it so many time, and I've to realign myself to God again and again. The best part of being God's child is that I don't have to live in condemnation, but truly admit what I did wrong and walk in freedom because of Christ. Many seek for being right in everything, and we know that we always fall from being perfect. But God's love and grace is always enough for a sinner like me and everyone. Thanks to God for revealing to me and challenging me to keep going with a new attitude of others. Praise Him!

By his grace and love,

Wilderness

Have you ever wondered how many challenged you need to go through each year? What about your hope for future? Will it ever come true when it seemly nothing can make it happen? I want to say that I'm good enough, I've been through many thing that I can stand firm and don't lose my mind. I don't care what happen in the future, for I know my God is able to do. I fail to totally trust that my circumstances is not a big deal. Once again, I have to encourage myself through the book of Philippians, for it talks about being rejoice. I admit how worry I am and try to work out in my own way. I saw a picture of myself building up such a strong mountain to conquer all the optical, but when I worshiped God during the Conference, I just realized my mountain become its optical for taking me to another level of trusting God. God told me that he will make my mountain flat, and I'm in this wilderness, so that I'll realize who God is and how amazing he is. A big challenging fo...

Goodbye Mom

Jan 2, 2014 is the date of losing my mom. She had been in the hospital for 3 days with the last state of liver cirrhosis. She was in and out from the hospital since October 2, 2013, and she had been sick 3 months together. I felt difficult to realize it was very short time I had with her, for I was only with her about 2 weeks altogether in these 3 months. I called and talked to her more often since she was sick, but my last conversation with her through the phone wasn't an impress for me. She thought I left her alone because I was upset that she couldn't work to have money for my own wedding. I was almost cry to her, but I did cry when I told Therd about this conversation I had with mom. What a painful moment for me to knew that she didn't know how much I love her, and I didn't care of what I'll get from her, for I only care if she could make it until my wedding. I would like to have her walk me to the altar, and I would like her to experience my precious wedding ...

New Season Comes With The New Year!

Hello to the year 2020!! We are in the beginning of this new year with a huge change in my life and my family, for I am about 6 months pregnant. Hence we are expecting a son by the end of March or the beginning of April, so there are about 3 more months of this journey. Although we weren't plan on having a child, we knew deep in our hearts that God has placed this boy in our lives in a right timing, and this huge transition is going to move us in faith even further than what we could have thought of. Throughout these 6 months of being pregnant, I got to learn and experienced many thing that allows me to become more a mother-liked person. It began with what I recalled how my step mom miscarried her baby many time because she was working very hard, didn't get enough rest, and wasn't aware of what routine the pregnant woman shouldn't have done. I was young by that time, but I saw how my step mom suffer too much from grieving and kept pressing on having her own baby. As a ...
