The Double Line

I just couldn't help myself not to tell the world about the news.. Early this morning when i woke up, i took SENSITIF, after just 20 second i got the result and its double RED line.. i was so excited. my husband still working *its 6am* we're so happy for the result.. it seems that all my curiosity has found an answer..i was so nervous before took the test kit. then we prayed together..give thanks to GOD for HIS wonderful gift for us. Actually 2 weeks ago i had the first test, the result was only a single line, i was very sad at that time but then i chose to rejoice, still hoping for different news in the next few weeks. My husband also try to comfort me, yeah we still have plenty of time, no need to worry anyway..hey we just got married why should i worry then.. Anyway in these few days I've been experiences some symptoms, i missed my period more than a week already and yesterday i was sick after i got office, people at office say that i might get pregnant, i...

Third Visit

Today is our 3rd visit to dr. Lukman. On our last visit he asked me to have some blood test and today i have to bring the result and he said its VERY GOOD, perfect. That's a good news. And we can see our baby progress from USG screen, the baby is getting bigger now, the length already 2.9cm, its very clear as we can see the heart beat. Dr says its 10 weeks old now. My weight going 1kg up compare to my last visit 2 weeks ago. We will come to see him again in the next 2 weeks. Its very exciting for me as its our first child, even sometimes i feel so uncomfortable with my pregnancy, eating not as delicious as i expect, and sometimes my body feel so weak, sleepy, i have to drink milk twice a day.. but when i think about the gift God has put in my womb i can't complain but to be joyful.. In this first 3 months is very important for the baby..all the body parts begin to form, the brain begin to develop. Its amazing to imagine how this happen..i was like this before.. Being...

Seven Good Signs of a Desirable Friend

One of my favorite writer is Stormie Omartian, with her simple book, she has taught me so much about how to pray.. This article i took from her book, The Power of a Praying Woman..its on the chapter about relationship. For me friendship is a relationship that influence my life the most..how i become today is because of friends i related in the past.. I like when she said : We can never reach our full destiny apart from the people God puts in our lives.. Its important to be yoked with people who walk closely with GOD. Accountability results from having close relationships with strong believers who are themselves accountable to other strong believers. Its important to be accountable because we are all capable of being deceived. We all have blind spots. We need people who will help us see the truth about ourselves and our lives. And we need to have the kind of relationships that don't break down when truth is spoken in love .. Seven good signs of a desirable friend , are.. ...

Seven signs of Undesirable Friend

This one is the warning sign for us.. remember that how we reach our destiny depend on the way we live..the way we live is influenced by the people we deal with every day.. I remember one sermon i heard says.. Show me your friend then i'll tell you what your future will be.. its so obvious that whoever stay close to you will determine our character and our future.. I'm not perfect as well..i took this message as a lesson for myself on the very first place and i'd like to share this to you as well... Seven Signs of Undesirable Friend 1. An undesirable friend is immoral and has no regard for others . "I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner - not even to eat with such a person" (1 Corinthians 5:11) 2. An undesirable friend is changeable and unstable . "Do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity wil...

Lead Me To The Cross

I really love this song..the music and also lyric is like a magic can draw you close to the presence of God.. Its taken from the latest album of Hillsong United : All of the above Lead Me To The Cross Savior I come Quiet my soul remember Redemptions hill Where Your blood was spilled For my ransom Everything I once held dear I count it all as lost Lead me to the cross Where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees Lord I lay me down Rid me of myself I belong to You Lead me, lead me to the cross You were as I Tempted and trialed You are Te word became flesh Bore my sin and death Now you're risen To your heart To your heart Lead me to your heart Lead me to your heart

Being In Love

C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote, “Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all....In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last....But of course ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love...is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask and receive from God....They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enable them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.” ---------------...

Once Again by Matt Redman

I love this song, actually all of Matt Redman's songs contains lyric that comes from the heart of true worshippers.. ---------------- Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice You became nothing Poured out to death Many times, I've wondered at your gift of life I'm in that place once again I'm in that place once again And once again I look upon the cross where You died I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside Once again I thank You, Once again I pour out my life Now You are exhalted to the highest place King of the Heavens, where one day I'll bow But for now, I'll marvel at Your saving grace I'm full of praise once again Oh I'm full of praise once again And once again I look upon the cross where You died I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside Once again I thank You Once again I pour out my life Thank you for the cross Thank you for the cross Thank you for the cross, my friend And once again I look upon t...

Second Visit

Today is our 2nd visit to dr. Lukman Hudono. All the result is good. And once again we can see our baby from the USG monitor.. it's very small like a green bean and we can see the heart beat..i'm so happy, couldnt believe that its real.. We'll be visited doctor again in the next 2 weeks, he asked me to take several blood tests before the 3rd visit. I hope everything will be okay.. my body hasn't change yet, only gain 1 kg in 2 weeks..i think its because of eating too much at home hehehe...lots of food there, who can resist ? NOBODY.. Btw, doctor said that on july 17th, my baby will be 2 months old..:) i know its not exacly 2 months but thats how they calculate, its from the first day of my last period, which was on may 17th. I'm a very happy mom to be..

Forgiveness. . . What's it for?

by Larry James (taken from http://www.celebratelove.com/forgive.htm) I just found this article and the message is very true..i'd like to share with all of you.. LoveNote. . . If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa Forgiveness works! It is often difficult, AND it works! We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die! Alexander Pope once said, "To err is human; to forgive, Divine." Believe it! Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not something you do FOR someone else. It is not complicated. It is simple. Simply identify the situation to be forgiven and ask your...

Pekan Baru - Medan

Finally after got married i have to travel again to visit some of our distributor around indonesia. This time i went to Pekan baru and Medan only for 3 days..I went there with my sales staff Denny. PEKAN BARU august 1st 2007, the flight was at 7am, so i had to be at airport by 6am...*no choice* my husband drove me there..*a bit sad to let me go hehe*. We went to Padang with Batavia Air, the flight was okay, we arrived in PK about 8.30am. Got Pak Simanjuntak pick us up. Usually PK always hot maybe about 28-29 celcius, but fortunately on that day the temp was 24celcius and light rain..thank God..:) We had breakfast at KIM TENG coffee shop, then visited our distributor. We only had 6 hours there before our flight to Medan. Everything done just in time, i think we had a good deal with our distributor then we can leave. In Pekan Baru there's no special food, not much interesting stuff to do there..people went there just for business, thats why i prefer to stay in medan instea...

*flash back*

When i drive my car to office this morning, suddenly i start to sing and worship God, i think about all the goodness in my life.. i'm still amazed how everything went this far..and all for good. I went out from sumba in 1992, from comfort living with my parent to a different world. I went to Malang and studied at SMAK COR JESU, i stayed in dormitory there, all girls.. and those girls i live with slowly changed my life from a tomboy girl to a girl who finally can see a boy not just a buddy..and i grew up to know my God even more at GKI Tumapel.. i still miss all those memories there. I once had a best friend, her name is dini, we stayed in dorm together, we went to the same church, we even had our SIDI together, lots of memories, happy and sad, many secrets.. then she died on 1996 in surabaya. I was so sad. That's one of the hardest moment in my life..losing someone i care about. Its been 11 years now.i can still remember her obviously.. Anyway, after graduated from high sch...
