from here

Ups! I didn't mean to not listen my lecture. It's because of my sleepy mood, so I need to do something that can increase my consentration.

So I scrolled my blog, and decided to read an article from Set Apart Girl from Leslie Ludy and team. Pearl, a literature ministry for Indonesian woman (yesterday was its 7th birthday!). Then, my eyes looked on Elisabeth Elliot's biography article. My thoughts randomly remembered about End of the Spear, a film that my youth fellowship watched on our Mission Month three years ago. Elisabeth's husband, Jim Elliot, was died in Ecuador with his Christian evangelical friends because killed by Auca people. You can watch the movie or read Through Gates of Splendor to know more about the story. The men's faith and sacrifice brought a great wave for missions, especially for their families. For example, Elisabeth and Valerie, her daughter, continued their beloved one's mission there.

--**--


My point is: how someone can go back to the place where her beloved one killed to serve the people there? Of course they won't. It would bring a great wound for their hearts.

But Elisabeth broke my hypothesis.

She kept serve the people, and her book, Through Gates of Splendor were written based on the other men's families' request. She told how their struggles and what happened after a long time since Operation Auca had been done.


Then, I searched the book through Google (duh, I wanna it haha) and I typed Elisabeth's daughter name there too, Valerie Elliot Shepard :) Though she never met her father before, but she realized that Jim's faith inspired her so much. How could she know about Jim and his faith? Well, of course from her mom and her father's journal too! Wow. I really speechless when Ms. Valerie wrote about Jim's journal that influenced her family's life. I really blessed to know

Guten Abend!! :) Hayo, siapa di sini yang masih rajin having devotional time  (a. k. a. saat teduh (SaTe)) sama Bible Reading (BR)? (Lah, nongol-nongol udah kasih pertanyaan maut :p)

Eh, dua-duanya nggak dijalanin? ._. SaTe-nya juga? ._. Waaa... Padahal dua-duanya itu penting lho. Bukan cuma penting lagi. Tapi kita butuh itu buat disiplin rohani kita! :B (meringis.com) Nah, mungkin ada yang tanya, "Gimana sih, caranya SaTe sama BR yang efektif?" "Gimana sih, biar kalo baca Alkitab itu nggak spaneng?" "Boleh nggak, kalo cuma baca ayat sama renungannya langsung? Jadi nggak baca Alkitab?". Okeee.. yuk, kita bahas satu-satu :)

Nah lho…gimana ya kalo pertanyaan ini (baca judulnya ('o')9 ) ditujukan langsung ke kita? :v Gugup, bingung, atau bisa menjawab dengan yakin? :) Ada banyak jenis jawaban yang muncul nih…beberapa diantaranya:

1. Karena teman-teman lain juga udah pacaran.

Waktu aku ulang tahun ke-16 kemarin, aku dikasih buku sama beberapa teman dari RemPemCo (Remaja Pemuda GKI Coyudan) :3 Judul bukunya 'When God Writes Your Love Story', ditulis oleh Eric dan Leslie Ludy.

Di buku itu, mereka cerita pengalaman mereka selama bergumul sendirian tentang calon life partner mereka, waktu mereka mulai pacaran, dan... sebelum dan setelah mereka menikah :O keren banget. Recommended book, deh pokoknya :D makasih buat RemPemCo yang udah ngasih bukunya *meringis*

Btw, di buku itu mereka juga menuliskan lagu yang mereka buat soal pergumulan mereka selama mencari life partner mereka :) Dan baru-baru ini aku punya lagunya (y). It is an interesting song ^^

By the way, hari ini juga adalah hari pertunangan mereka XD (kasih tepuk tangan #lho)


Dari buku ini, aku jadi tahu kalo Tuhan selalu (dan selalu) menyediakan apapun tepat pada waktunya. Termasuk soal pasangan hidup :)  Dan aku percaya, penantian yang lama itu nggak akan sia-sia.

'Recommended book' deh pokoknya. hehehe :v  oiya. Di buku ini juga ada bagian yang ditulis dengan bahasa Inggris. Jadi selamat menerjemahkan juga ya :p  huahahaha XD


Tuhan memberkati ^^
