'Becoming God's Conscious People'

in our life sometimes whether we realize or not, we
tend to be man's conscious, we tend to depend on
people around us and even sometimes we become satan's
conscious, when we have hard times, we say that's
satan who does it, etc..
now we're gonna learn how to become God's conscious
people ..

Rom 12:1-3 (From The Message)
There are 3 things, how we can be God's Conscious People:

1. Take your everyday life and placeit before God as an offering

12:1 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping,
eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and
place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God
does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

- simply just watch our everyday life...
- example while we'r sleeping, God can give an
inspiration, we can pray for it
- don't forget that God wants only the best for our
life, so eventhough we face hard times just remember
His promise..

2. Fix your attention to God

12:2 Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture
that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead,
fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the
inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you,
and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around
you, always dragging you down to its level of
immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops
well-formed maturity in you.

- we need to change inside out
- we will become who we worship..so when we fix our
attention on God then we'll become more like Him
- He will reveal His purpose in our life, and we have
to obey Him, He will always bring the best out of us
- remember God will command The angels to watch/guard
over us
- the number of angles vs devil is 2:1, they who guard
us is much more than devil, so we don't need to be
afraid

3. Its by Grace, God bring it all to you

12:3 I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all
that God has given me, and especially as I have
responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as
every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important
that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are
bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all
to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves
is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by
what we are and what we do for him.

- just take God's grace and live your life
- don't miss interpret..its not us who bring goodness
to God but He's the one who bring it all to us
- Its not about us but God
- We must live a STRESS-FREE life...

Have a blessed life to you all....

This is ethan on his birthday, ready for bed..he loves his new Mario pajama..

I'm Back after almost 2 years

Just couldn't believe it..its almost 2 years since the last time i post in here.. Ethan has a brother already !!! YEAAAhhh.. and his name is CALVIN BENJAMIN SUKAMTO..and guess what .. he is 1 year old already :) Having 2 boys is making my life so much full of joy and energy. No wonder i lost my extra weight very fast without go on diet ..so good. Ethan already going to preschool near home. He's progressing fast on being independent. But still very slow on speaking properly but its okay..he still my beloved naughty little ethan. He likes to tease his brother his own way.But since i gave him time out several time after got his brother cry, now everytime Calvin cry near him, he suddenly run away of hide behind the couch or wall..afraid i might get angry eventhough its not his fault.. hahaha.. Now he has another trick, when i'm about to get mad he put his hand through my head and say *sayang mommy..sayang mommy* ...and it works.. sigh.. Calvin is another little on...

--Frenzzzhhhhip....

some people keep wondering what's the true meaning of friendship .. sometimes we are busy looking for beautiful and warm quotes or stories of real friendship and still when we get back to the real world..that definition seems so hard to believe.. for me is very simple.. friendship requires love..and love is about giving and giving is about making people you care happy.. and beyond them...is commitment.. yes.. friendship is commitment..that's why to people i consider my friend i always store my forgiveness for them in time of needs... people make mistakes..thats natural..coz we're just human being..so are you willing to understand your friend instead of hoping them to understand you?? ask yourself.. its fine even they turn to be so bad to you...its totally fine... if they ask for forgiveness..just forgive...if they break the friendship...you're still fine..because you are not making mistake but they do... so no need to be sad.. just BE HAPPY and keep the JOY...
