"Now is not the time of telling and showing, it's the time of showing and telling!,

Your words speak of your mind, but your actions speak of your life!"

Kristi Joviani

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"

It's have been quite a week.

Finish my summer school, had my exam on wednesday,

 the February Campus Project has started,

Busy, busy week. Tiring, yet wonderful. :)

and guess what, 10 more days and it will be March! 

Honestly, I don't know how to put it into words this one week, really.

But If I may say, I guess it's "humility".

and most of all, The Matter of the Heart.

and oh, I've been reading book by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Brokenness Surrender Holiness.

Just started so can't tell you much. haha.

But one of my friend recommended it and I bet it is a great book.

Tell you more about it soon. :)

I guess it's another random post from me. haha. 

Have a good night, my friends.

oOo, Cia..

Just, a little bit.

Just a little thing that I bought some time ago,

and surprisingly it match! :) 

Happy~

Rings rings rings I love rings!

Ulyana Sergeenko, gorgeous!

Ah~ I triple like this dress! The fabric, the design, the colour all of it!

 The maple-brown colour just give you a sense of autumn doesn't it?

with a touch of black ribbon ah~

and I just think "Hm, It will suit my bag and heels." Haha.

I love vintage. <3

and oh, come visit my Tumblr some times.

That is a place where I share my 'stuff' with pictures. ;)

"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..

It's 2012!!

Happy New Year!! *duarrr

This is the most exciting new years eve in my life! I was alone and and felt free!haha

Some company would have been great, but being alone is cool too.

I was wandering around crown since 10 o'clock. 

A little bit scared I was, but I just didn't want to stay home alone. 

and good things, I didn't! It was great.

Great weather, great spot, great place. :)

A beautiful place here, one of my favourite in Melbourne, Yarra River.

and can you believe, while I was waiting for the fireworks, I met this Chinese-Aussie-NZ girl that sit beside me, Dani, she's twins ;). I didn't think that I would actually make friends with people on New Year's Eve!haha

Meet Dani. :)

and the show started! Fire come out!Woosh~

Here's some pictures of the fireworks.

Yay!!

and here's a crazy girl, wait..that's me!lol

It finished so I went back home with my little glow-in-the-dark stuff.

Actually I wanted to take which-I-also-don't-know-what-it-called photograph, but I failed, so at the end I just played around with it, lalala~

I am a glowing-mustache girl~

and Yes, my baby polaroid is back!

Once again, Happy New Year!!

I wish you all a merry and wonderful year ahead on.

God bless you, my friends!

oOo, Cia...

I'm back! Real back.

Oci oci I get it. It's a long long time and I haven't write for.. 2 months?more actually. Anyway I am back!like really, I'm back! haha Aaa~ such a long time, how's life guys?I really hope I can see your comments, if not, than why I ask right? =)

Me?I am good, Life is great, God.. is awesome!

There are so many things happen these few months,

 I am going to graduate from Trinity tomorrow, Oh yeah~ haha. Time really went fast hah? 

About my uni, I am still not sure about my major, Arts of Fine Arts, a little bit of explanation, Arts is more writing and Fine Arts is more practical, which is good, 'cause I don't like writing in formal and academic kind of stuff, but I am also not sure where I should go, Fine Arts in Production seems 'hard'. Idk. haha  If my way is Arts, than Arts is good and I believe my writing skill just have to be improved along the way. We'll see how.

Than my love relationship? None!haha Juskid, I don't really think about it now. too much.

What really matters and important for me in this first half of the year is my journey of spiritual growth with God. It's up It's down, Joy and sorrow, but when I look back and see the big picture, I realise that He is indeed good, His plan and His timing is just perfect~.

But due to some reason, I am going to talk about it in another post. This is just the 'realfinallywhiuu' welcome back post from me haha.

Oh ya!Ss came here about one month ago and we really had a great time for 5 days. But I am also going to talk about it in more detail in another post ocidoci? haha

And I am also going back to Indonesia this Tuesday, Have night flight on Monday, I am so happyy and exciteddddd Woohooo~ I am going to Medan-Pku-Bali-Medan than back to Melbourne. Bali~ Finally! After one year I am so happy I feel like flying~ but, there's but, I miss Melbourne already. All the routines and my new life in here will change for 1 and half month. Aa~ Excited yet notthatsadbutsad, something like that. haha. I believe it's gonna be great though. This holiday gonna be awesomee!haha Amen.
