I am going home...

Home. Oh.. home. It's been six months since I've been away from home. I miss home. Everybody miss home. Mom and dad, brother and sister, granny and poppy, the faces that you grow up with. The smell of the nasty water, the language, the food, and the hot humid weather. hmmm...
Home, I miss home.
It's feels so long, long journey that I've been in. I even forgot how to speak my own language. I don't know what my family looks like, (well, I still remember their faces but of course they're changed), and I don't know what my friends all look like. Are they still remember me? Are everything still gonna be the same or not? Are they changed? Am I changed?
Everything's gonna be so different....
But I am excited for it. Really excited!
What I was thinking is.. am I gonna bring a change to my community at home? It's been such an amazing 6 months. I've learn a lot, gain a lot and lose a lot too. It's physically rough summer, and I am spiritually tired too. And Indiana was amazing, gain more "education" and relationship. People, come and go. California, Colorado, Chicago, Ohio, and Indiana. Too far. Too much pain. But I've learned.
And what I'm gonna do when I am going home? Am I a different person than I used to 6 months ago? I hope not. I hope I am more mature and wise. I hope I can bring the difference and share what God has been doing in my life.
There's a plan that I have, hopefully... it will work according to God's will...
I wanna share in my youth group about porn and sex addict. I was redeemed, it's a sin for me if I don't share it with my brother and sister who has a same problem with me. And, some activity in the youth group, like mal scavenger hunt. And the new style of worship, the unity that I've learned. Maybe. And donate some Sunday school material to the church and working with the Friday Night Kids Club. And taught them about the cell group and the kids club. So much things to do and so many ideas in my mind, so that's good. I hope I can do that. With God's help. Well, this is pretty much just a crappy blog, but I just wanna type, so... whoever read it, hopefully enjoyed it.

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
