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.. ...

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...

A Friend should be Radical, Fanatical, and Most of All, Mathematical… : A Friend should be Radical; They should love you when you’re unlovable, Hug you when you’re unhuggable, And bear you when you’re unbearable. A Friend should be Fanatical; They should cheer when the whole world boos, Dance when you get good news, And cry when you cry too. But most of all, a Friend should be Mathematical; They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow, Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow, Calculate the need deep in your heart, and always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

I n kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one. In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls. In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully. In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus. In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn’t have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan. In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you. In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn’t have...

If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you And share with you its beauty On the days you’re feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea But all these things I’m finding Are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be what I know best: A friend that’s always there. by author unknown

the time is coming..we finally have to say goodbye to jenty and her beloved husband...today as they celebrate their 1st month anniversary, me and some closer friends (belly, ijoel, tony, arief, christine, man gun, rony, wahyu) also invited to have small dinner with them because they will leave back to melbourne this thursday.. Its been a great and wonderful time to spend with them, especially with rodney, as he hasn't been around with us for long time, but he's very easy to like hehe as he always smile..i really believe that he's the best thing God ever given to jenty, and i really believe that he and jenty will live happily ever after...i can see Gods goodness in their relationship, how God turned impossible things into reality..it shows me that God still in miracle business, He will always provide something big and great to every person He loved, and what makes me happier is that i believe that i'm loved by God :) so by faith i believe He also has prepared...

today ronce is finally say goodbye.. i went to airport with jane, edy, inneke, dolly, ronsur.. its so hard to see him leave, our days wouldn't be the same again without him.. we also met his mom and dad..and the rest of family.. its just so obvious that they really made the decision.. all we can do now just wish them all the best.. I believe God has a great plan for him and his family...it's just we're gonna miss him a lot...there're so many memories about him that well treasured in our heart.. Its really a blessing to have such a wonderful brother like him....

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...
