stuck in the heaven!

so, yey!
my first blog, ever! so happy! hmmm...
hmmm.. yeah, most of you must be questioning me about the title. "stuck in the heaven" that's sounds interesting. okay, let me explain it to you. now, I'm in Michigan, beautiful states, and of course, quiet. And I'm in one of the most beautiful city, Saugatuck. I'm sure, most of you will ask me, "Where the heck are you live?" Yeah, Saugatuck. Trust me, it's outstanding! Marvelous! and I'm staying at Pine Trail Camp, the great camp. But the 'heaven' that I wanna tell you is, here, we have Kalamazoo river. so we can take a canoe and canoeing to the Michigan Lake. And too, they have a gorgeous dock, which unfortunately broke this summer. (Big bummer! Ugh!)
So, most of the time, I came to that dock, feeling the gentle breeze come to my face and just have some quiet time with my God and my self. Just come and sit on the bench, quiet time my busy mind and find a hiding place. There is no place more beautiful than that. Sometimes I heard duck came by and quacking, or maybe some small boat, bird singing, the sound of water splashing, and the sound of quietness. Or I can come with my friend, and fishing or just laying down and have some great conversation. That place is perfect!

That's whay I called that place,
"Small heaven in the middle of nowhere"

but it's been a while since that time. Time goes by...the dock is broken, the duck stop coming, and the river is getting nasty because of polution, and the weather is getting cold, so no more gentle breeze. And 90% of my friends left already. Colorado, Chicago, LA, Ohio, so many places. So, I gotta stay inside and doing nothing. so, pretty much stuck. No car, no money.
What can I do?

I don't know. That's why I said that I'm stuck in the heaven.

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

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

I went to the doctor and they said that it was a cyst - a type of hand cancer which is not dangerous, but should be taken out if it grew and start hurting. I plan to do the surgery to take it out sometime soon because it had grown bigger and it started to hurt. But one time, we had a pra
