So, Indiana! yeahh...

So, here I am, in Topeka, Indiana! Finally! Yeah...
I'm so excited at first. I packed all my stuff and... leave from Camp, the beautiful place and the people I loved. We left at 7 in the morning, so I kind of fall asleep on the way to Indiana. So, I fall asleep... thinking, what it's gonna look like, and how's the people... and... I slept.

But, when I got up, I look around. And ask Nicole, "Hey are we close?"
"Yeah, about 5 minutes."
So, I keep looking around... and I just couldn't believe what I've seen.
People with black dress adn white kind of hat everywhere. Walking. And I start more freaking out when I saw the horse with the buggy. Oh my goodness... where the heck are you taking me, God?!
I just couldn't believe it!!

Well, they're pretty much Amish people. I kind of heard about it before but I never thought that I actually gonna see them, more than that, be friends with them.
Let me explain what is Amish people for you who don't know. They're one coummunity that do not believe revolution. So, in their house, they don't have electricity, they don't have car (that's why the horse and buggy is everywhere.) and they dressed like that, because of what they believe.

Wow!
I still shocked. Freaking out. And scare.

But then Ps. Harold told me about all this community... nothing to be scare of. They actually as same as we are but they just believe differently. So, now, everything is under control. I kind of like, "Fiuuuuh... alright! This is gonna be good. Misister to Amish people. Never thought about that, but if that's what God want me to do, I'm so ready!"

so, yeah, that's my update, so please pray for me, I'll be doing a lot of ministry with young people and children around this community. I believe this gonna be super cool! and it will be super cool testimony too.. so...

oh, by the way, this is some picture of amish community. They're looks just like that. everywhere in here. so, enjoy!!

God bless youBlessings

My New House

Image
Like I said in my previous blog, that I have moved in to my new house with my new house mates: Jasmine and Amy. There is a lot of things we have to do for that house, but it came with a furniture and reasonable price. We were really happy to have the deal with that house because of the location, that it is near to the city, a walk to the students houses and a walk to the church I am working with. It's just a blessing to all of us. Couple of you have asked what the house look like, so here is some pictures of the house so you can have an idea how awesome our house is. :) This is the front of our house and here's a few shots on the inside. It is not completely arranged yet, but we're getting there. :) Yes, we are so blessed with such a nice house. My room is a lot smaller than the one I have before but I like it kind of small. That way I don't have to worry about cleaning it and filling it. Haha... I am just blessed, so blessed. And this is my new transportation around th

Leaving Thailand

Image
Greetings! In January 2014 I will be ending my term as a missionary in Thailand and will be going home to Jakarta, Indonesia . The ministry that I work with in Chiang Mai is bearing a lot of fruits and things are going really well, but I feel like Indonesia is where the Lord is taking me for this next season. Jakarta, Indonesia, my home, I never thought that God will ever call me back home. When I give my life to serve in the mission field 7 years ago, I never thought that this will happen. But God really is calling me to go back home . And it was as clear as it can be to me. The ministry that I am doing with the youths here are flourishing, the Lord have blessed us so much this past two years, we were able to see growth, new believers and new thing in the Thai churches. But when I spoke with my dad (my senior pastor in Jakarta) couple of months back, he told me that the youth back in my church is falling apart. Ever since I left home, things are ju

Valentine's Day

Oh my... it's been ages since I updated this blog. I am terribly sorry. Ever since I got back to Jakarta, everything just kind of go in super fast pace. Just like the city. For almost 3 years I lived in Chiang Mai where everything is kind of slow and feels laid back, getting back in the mega city has not been easy at all. Though I am entering my 3rd year here, I found it very hard still to find things that I enjoy here (besides friends and family of course). Today is Valentine's Day. For a single girl like me it doesn't feel any different than any other day to be honest. But with the social media and peer pressure on single girl in her late 20s, today can be a tough day to face. I say goodbye to dating a long time ago, I used to date when I was in High School but not anymore since then. I have decided to follow God's calling and took the harder road in leaving home and study as well as serving others in the other side of the world. Many of you are familiar with my s
