Home Sweet Home...

I HAVE RETURNED!!
This is kind of crazy because I haven't been home for so long and now finally I am home. Not too much change, really, besides all my nieces and cousins have grown a lot without me.
But I am happy, yes I am.
Things kind of get a little out of control lately... not too busy, but overwhelming.
There is a lot of ministries to do here and I want to spend time with my family and I have to do fund raising plus my Hebrews class online, that kind of overwhelmed me.
I had this mixed feelings about everything... you know, old friends, new friends, families, vacation... all that great stuff, but yet, I felt like something inside me has changed.

I am not the person I used to some years ago.

It's a good change, I can feel it. But it feels weird to be here and I have to keep telling my self, "This is home... this is home." Maybe it's because I've been out from home for so long that I forget how's it felt to be home and save.
God has taught me a lot, he teach me to know and be discerning about the time and the season. There is a time for everything...

There is a time for me to rest, to be with my family and not worry about anything else.
There is a time for me to work, get my fund raising going and make some phone calls, create a newsletters and stuff like that.
There is a time to talk and hag out with friends.
There is a time to sleep.
There is a time study the book of Hebrews and get my homework done.
There is a time to be quieted and enjoy His presence.
There is a time for everything.

Here, I learn to really take it one day at the time and not to worry about things that I should not be worry about. It's not a very easy thing to do, but that's how we live.
Just live for Him and not worry. It feels great!

My prayer is that you take it one day at the time with Jesus and don't worry about everything.
He know what he's doing...

Hey Sasha! It's great to hear how you're doing and how it's going at home! I am praying for you as you adjust and as you continue with support raising. We all have big walls to climb with fund-raising, but we "can do ALL things"!!! Love you and can't wait to see you in THAILAND!!!

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
