I love Jesus Culture!

Their songs are just so powerful and meaningful!

This is one of any that I love to listen now!

"Jesus Culture - You are my Passion"

I'm alive to bring glory to You, King
God of victory, You are my passion
It's in the way You are, You don't change at all
Great and humble God, You are my passion

My strength in life is I am Yours
My soul delights because I am Yours
Your will on earth is all I'm living for

Jesus, I glorify.

 Jesus, my love is Yours
You are my heart's desire

I live to know You more

Light that breaks the darkness, showing what true love is
Always full of goodness, You are my passion
You never do me wrong, the meekest Man, but strong
The most perfect song, You are my passion

Praise to the Lord, King above all Kings. "For from him and through him and to him are all things,To him be the glory for ever! Amen."(Romans 11:36)
oOo, Cia..

Sweet angel named Jessie for a sweet gift.

Thanks Ci Jess :)

Blog and blog.

As I always say, time flies~

First week of school ended and I would say, I really enjoy it.

and I hope I would be able to say this until I graduate from university. haha.

I am so excited learning Japanese, it makes me feel like back to primary school, where teacher write and explain something on the white board and the students write it down, do exercises that later will be checked . Cute.

Also, today is my media writing's tutorial. So fyi, it's one of my compulsory subject for Media and Communication major. I quite like it and I hope I will be able to score well. What I am going to do for this subject is basically i'll become a journalist. haha. I will write 6 pieces of mass-media prose genre through out the semester, they are, magazine profile, review, opinion, travel writing, column, and news story. Sounds interesting, isn't it? 

and I was thinking, maybe I should start improving my writing skills including my blog writing hm~ haha. Write some reviews about food (I love to eat) I guess or maybe should I make another blog that focus on food and other 'media' stuff. So I get my personal blog and professional blog. lol. 

What do you think?:)

Hello Marchie.

March is in the house!

Just a simple quote to start this month :)

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of god, which is why we call it the present."

-Bill Keane-

oOo, Cia..

Bye Febbie

A great day to end this month!

February has been such a blessing month for me.
and I hope it is also for you all!


"By the grace of God, I am what I am"

(1 Corinthians 15:10)

Bye Febbie and Hello Marchie ;)

oOo, Cia..

Set, Go, Run!

Aloha people~ How's life?
Some (random) news that I want to share :
1. Uni starts today and it's raining!Yay! 

P.s : I love raining <3
Gonna be busy busy busy, looking forward to this semester, really. :)
I am learning Media Writing, Sociology, Marketing and Japanese!
Just had my Media and Japanese lectures, I would say, oh yeah~ haha..
I do start to enjoy my uni life more and more, studying, writing, bit by bit, Thanks to God!

2. The book that I mentioned last week, Brokenness Surrender Holiness by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, still on the way, but I could say now, recommended! I will share more about this on another post.

3. From now on, I have sandwich with fruit for my lunch, start today, I don't know how long it'll last, but I am enjoying this healthy-cheap meal lol.

4. These two weeks actually I was having a project, called February Campus Project, run by Student Life. What is Student Life?

Student Life, is a Christian Club on campus, under Campus Crusade for Christ. Our ministry is evangelism and discipleship which means reaching out to students who don't know yet God yet and helping students grow when they become christian.

These two weeks, we basically have training to help us ministering on campus, fellowship, social activities and outreach. It was tiring, yet wonderful!

Melbourne Uni students

Monash Clayton students.

Training

Party~ (it may not look like one, but it is a p.a.r.t.y~!lol)

and social activites..

These are just few photos that I copy paste (Y) haha.

Student Life is the place where I know, learn and accept Christ. I am so thankful to have them as part of my life. :)

One thing that God reminds me this week is that I came here to study, so even I am busy with social life, church, ministry on campus and other stuff, study is also important and one way to glorify His name.
So got to manage my time wisely, set priority and most importantly, spend time with God.

"Sometimes we are too focus to work FOR God, that leads us to not having time to spend WITH God."

Aaa~ more to shareee but on thing I can say is, God is so good, isn't He?!
He is an awesome God and loving Father. :)
For God alone, is the glory! Amen!
Until next post, Ciao and God bless!

oOo, Cia..

"Jesus Culture - Oh Lord You're beautiful"

Oh Lord, you're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

I want to take your word and shine it all around
But first help me just to live it Lord
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to you

I love this song, song of my heart, song of my life :)

oOo, Cia..

Quote of the Day

"It's not the matter of how much you know the bible,

 but how much that truth has transformed our life."

oOo, Cia..

By Grace

I have been questioned this for few weeks.

"What is the difference between christian and non-christian?"

Is it that in problem, Christian will stand firm?

Is it, Christians are full of love?

Is it, Christians are good people?

Is it, Christians live prosperously?

and I can continue the whole list but that's not the point.

I mean from what we see in real life, that's not the case.

Many people who are non-christians are even better in all of those things than christians.

In fact, many people who are claim to be Christians don't live like one, sad, really.

But then also, it's another story.

What I really want to share here is about something that God has taught me this past one month, a new layer and understanding of a word "Grace". To see the richness of grace!Hallelujah!

Grace is an undeserved, free good gift, given by God.
but it's more than that, it's also the power of God that works in us!
Grace of God is about not just about salvation and forgiveness, but also a transformation. Wow.

By His Grace, I live.

By His Grace, He showed me the way and opened door by door.

By His Grace, He saved me from sin.

By His Grace, I can see.

By His Grace, I can study in Australia.

By His Grace, I got my first HD grade. (Y)
By His Grace, I can run, cry and laugh
By His Grace, I understand.

By His Grace, I am able to love.
By His Grace, I worship.

By His Grace, I am what I am.

By His Grace, I do live.

So, what I want to share which what I understand until now is,

The one difference between christian and non-christian is
Christians are living in a state of grace.

The live that we have now is not ours anymore, but God's and its given by Him by His grace.

What a wonderful life! All the Glory to God, amen.

Thank You. Big Thank You O God. :)

oOo, God..

"to random to give a title"

Happy Love.

Dear friend, 

Love, 

love is surely a beautiful thing, isn't it?

Do you know that there is Someone who really loves and cares for you?

If you haven't know Him,

His name is Jesus Christ.

He is the one that fills my day with love, joy and peace regardless of any circumstances.

He has changed my life and I believe Jesus can change yours life too.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life." 

John 3:16

Happy Valentine Jesus. Happy Valentine people. <3

"John Waller - While I'm Waiting"

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am hopeful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it is painful, but patiently I will wait

And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it's not easy no, but faithfully I will wait
Yes, I will wait

And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint

I'll be running the race even while I wait

Yes, I will. :)

AnugrahMu kepadaku

Tercengang kudibuatMu
ku kagum padaMu
tak ada hal di hidupku terluput dariMu

Kau indah Kau mulia
Tiada sepertimu
Kungin hidupku menyenangkanMu

Pencipta segalanya
Seluruh bintang pun bersinar

Engkau pun mengasihiku
penulis hidupku
tak henti segnap nafasku
menyembahMu selalu

Seg'nap hatiku menyembahMu
Terimalah seg'nap hidupku
S'bagai persembahan yang hidup

S'gala puji
S'gala hormat
Seg'nap hatiku menyembahMu
Terimalah seg'nap hidupku
S'bagai persembahan yang hidup

Bukan kehendakku,
Namun kehendakMu
Hidupku bagiMu

Hi.

Hello folks, How is life there?

It's been almost 1 week  and I haven't post anything, nope I won't leave this blog again. haha.

There are things going around here and just have been thinking a lot lately.

When I make up my mind, I'll post something. haha.

Okidoki, gonna keep this post simple and quick.

Going to my dream land now, a lil' bit unwell and tired.

Anyway, just want to say Hi and just wish you a great weekend!

God bless, my friends.

oOo, Cia..

Love.

This is what love is.

Check it dot :)

"Jaeson Ma ft. Bruno Mars - Love"

Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is. But I'mma tell you what true love is. Love is not what you see in the movies. It's not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene, you know what I mean? I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice. Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself, love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love. Love is when you lay down your life for another, whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister, its even laying down your life for your enemies, that's unthinkable, but think about that. Love is true. Think.

Chorus
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love

I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres. 
Love never fails. Love is everlasting, its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time, love is the only thing that will last when you die, but ask the question why? Do you have love? 

Chorus

I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love

I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends, but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I'm going to tell you who did that, the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow, hanging on a cross for your sin my sins, that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him, that is love. God is true love, and if you don't know this love, now is the time to know, perfect love. 

Chorus

I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love

I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love

-Fin-

Love is God and God is love.

LOVE is He died for you and me while we still HATE Him

Definition of love : Jesus Christ.

oOo, Cia...

"Jaeson Ma - Personal Living Testimony"

I love living testimony!:)

Jesus bless you all!

oOo, Cia

Prayer

How are you all doing? Great? 

I am great! I feel excited with my summer course, gotta a good feeling about it!

Then another thing is about busking!!Yeah~ I am S.O E.X.C.I.T.E.D!

Gonna apply soon, I have fill the application and all that. Wish us good!:)

Today Menado (Menara Doa) or Prayer Tower (I think that what it's called in english) is really a blessing. Our Pastor share a message about prayer. 

Just share a little bit of what I got. :)

Prayer got to have a purpose. 

and not only that, I believe in everything that we do, especially for God, we should know what is the purpose, the reason behind it.

or else we would just get driven by slogan and routine only.

(which is very sad and boring I think :p)

In Matthew 6, Jesus taught us how to pray,

He start with 

"Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be Your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

These are the purpose that our prayer should have :

1. Our relationship with Father God 

2. His Glory

3. His Will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Sometimes when we pray, it's all about ME ME ME, my need, my want, my will.

we forget who is the real centre of the life, It's God Himself.

we tend to do the need-driven prayer instead of vision-driven prayer.

There is nothing wrong with pray when we are in need, but the matter is, when our need is being fulfil,  we don't pray anymore.

Where with vision-driven prayer, we can see far beyond the need, our OWN need, but to see God Himself, the relationship with Him, His Glory and His will,  not us, but Him.

As a christian, we don't live for ourselves anymore, but we live for God.

It's hard, yes. but I believe when we can see and truly understand the love and the cross. 

It won't be hard anymore, because of the love itself that sustain us, the love that He has given to us.

When we love someone, wouldn't we do anything for the one?

"We love because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19)

So to love God, we need to understand how much He loves us!

1 John 5:14 said,

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."

Prayer is more than asking God for what we want or need, but it's a two way communication with Him.

Ah~ How amazing it is, to have relationship with you God, communicate with Him and more to call Him, Father.

Let's get back our heart to Him! :)

I am also in the stage of learning, it doesn't take 1 day to built Colosseum haha.

It's a life-time process, it will be up and down, but know whatever situation that you are in to, God is always there! Thanks Lord.

Jesus bless..

oOo, Cia..
