So last friday, I was mc-ing for pemuda... and it was the fewesttt 11 people that i've ever experienced! it felt like persekutuan doa buttt It was good :D even though we only have cecyl on the piano and joko on the guitar the worship felt very encouraging. I'm missing one of my moral support this friday hahaha (fonda) but God is so good providing me with encouraging people :D on the fellowship. I'm so happy that jen and jon were there again! and Jon said he's going to share next week... hopefully... praying for him hehehe i know that people are going to be blesseddd by his sharing :D
Onto the sermon by ci Santi <3
I feel like i have to blog this as a reminder for myself :D so later if i encounter failure in the future i don't act like unbeliever :p (like how i usually always does - -")
There's 3 verses that she shared:
1. Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps"
2. Proverbs 16:1 "The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD."
3. Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
So ci santi, continued by asking question what do you think is missing from those verses? don't you think those verses are contradicting each other? basically we can plan, but God decides. That's a little unfair God... don't you think?
Is planning a sin?
1. Yes if:
a.We don't include God on our planning (James 4)or because all success later we become boastful of ourselves.
b. If we don't fully trust God. There's something that we rely on, like example: money, etc. Jeremiah 29:11 has a condition that is on verse 12, "if you seek me with all of your heart" just like the condition of Israelites back then, they rely on idols instead of fully trusting God.
2. No if:
the opposite of those 2 condition above
God will intervene us when we're not on the right path...
and i thank God for that :D
Now onto God's answer/reminder for me is:
Is God unfair?
No, all intervention or failures that i have experienced in the past are all "God's protection" <3
Protection from sinning, protection from boasting, protection from a temporary happiness, protection from being a stumbling block, protection from what i think is good but i don't really know.
"i don't know about tomorrow, but i know who holds tomorrow"
:'}
*blushed*
I guess i gotta put away all my excuses of not to plan - -"

Magic Spell
So, there are times when it's hard for me to pray or when i'm facing a difficult situation or a difficult people or having to do things i don't like but i kinda have to... I pray this prayer:
God, give me enough strength and power to ... (fill in the blank)
and give me enough love and grace to ... (fill in the blank)
in Jesus name, i pray, Amen.
That seems to work :'}
God, give me enough strength and power to ... (fill in the blank)
and give me enough love and grace to ... (fill in the blank)
in Jesus name, i pray, Amen.
That seems to work :'}
On my prayer list

Note to self:
in order to find a Godly man, you must first become a Godly woman :'}

God: Home is where I am :)

Cooking papa
another food review :)
So on this past weekend... i went to watch DESPICABLE ME with vicky and ela :)
I <3 the movie it's funny and touching :)
I <3 cartoons
tips: i think it's worth to watch this movie in 3D. I watched Toy story 3 in 3D like the week before and there wasn't much of a 3D action... :(
After the movie we went to eat at cooking papa
their website: http://www.mycookingpapa.com/
I <3 the place... i think it's fairly new... and they have a CLEAN kitchen for a chinese restaurant :) like shiny clean so that's a plus!
The food that we order reminds me of a chinese-singapore kind of food...
price is good! and portion is generous! :) another plus
I think the food it's just good... it wasn't great or anything but it's worth a try especially if you're bored with your usual chinese restaurant :)
few things that we order:
Hongkong style milktea -> similar to teh tarik
honey bbq pork over rice
I forgot what this is called but it's portuguese baked style seafood, The sauce it's like curry sauce. so the yellow part it's not cheese! :)
this is cakwe wrapped in congfan, with peanut sauce on the side
and dessert: their signature cream puffs :)
