Weird dream

In: personal

13 Aug 2010

I just remembered, I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I was already engaged with an Indonesian man. It was so weird because I just met him. He wrote me a message in fb and said he is interested in me. I did not reply because I couldn’t even remember how he looks like. Oh my.

Then we were in the the two-story house somewhere. I was in upstairs and my parents were on the first floor. I did not know that He already asked my parents about his intention and my parents agreed. I heard them while I was going downstairs. I was very mad and talked to my parents how mad I was for what…

Despite hardship

I woke today when my alarm went off at 7am. I read my devotional and ready myself up for our daily for our team devotion.

The reading was about Choose to rejoice taken from Acts 16: 25, ” But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.”

It is a good reminder that as Christians our joy should not depend on our circumstances. Joy comes from God, and therefore it cannot be affected by what is outside of us. We should not be fooled into letting the actions of others determine our joy. True joy comes from knowing that God Himself lives within us and has fellowship with us, regardless of…

Feeling great

In: personal

10 Jul 2010

Today I woke up feeling great. It was just kind of weird because today was the start of the week. So it did’nt feel like Sunday. After breakfast I resumed to work again in my computer. At 10:30am I went downstairs (our office) and asked Jess to install the printer in our office to my computer so I can print out. I needed to print a document and sign it, scan it and then send it back to the headquarters. So nice of Jess for helping me. I was not able to scan the document though because the CD installer cannot be found. So I will ask Sylvia tomorrow who was not around today. She is working in the office.…

Experieng the power of God

In: personal

2 Jul 2010

The sermon of the pastor yesterday talked about experiencing the power of God. He said that you can not experience God’s power when you will not take a leap of faith and take the risks. During my whole travel I have seen and experienced the many greatness of the power of God in my life that I never would have experienced if I did not take the leap of faith. I cannot hold back my tears from falling when I look back and remember God’s miracles in me. I cannot fathom the way God made everything happened in a very smooth way. Sometimes I do feel guilty. I must confess that sometimes I put God in a box or I…

Missing family and friends

In: personal

2 Jul 2010

I cannot believe that I am already here so so so far away. I feel like I am just dropped from the plane to the jungle or just like I walk inside the dark room where I know nothing or I see nothing. I just need to find and figure things out. I am so thankful that God gave me these team of people who where very supportive that give me candles to lighten up the room so I can see and settle myself. I am also thankful that somehow He allowed me to be flexible to things. It needs a lot of effort to be able to mingle and socialize with new people. I need to penetrate their world…

Away from home

In: personal

26 Jun 2010

I’ve been through a lot of somewhat stresses for the past 3 months. From the start of my application until I arrive in Sudan. Through it all God is teaching me so many things and those trials made me a better person and I grew in my spiritual life. Although during the whole process there were times that the bouts of unbelief and doubt popped in my mind, but God is still faithful and compassionate with me.

I was glad that my family and friends were there with me at the airport. I had mixed emotions. I was excited to go, but sad to leave and somehow fearful about many things like the immigration and etc. I had so many things…

Bangkok airport

In: personal| photography

24 Jun 2010

This is a part of the Bangkok airport where I lay over for almost 4 hours. It is a very nice airport. There was some problems with the system of the Ethiopnian Airways that time so we waited for about an hour. The staff were all very good to us. It took time for me to figure out the gate but to my surprise the number that was written on it was not the gate it was the abbrevaition of the airlines.. oh my gosh.. It was already 12am and she should be boarding on 12:05am. I was very nervous. I thought I will miss the flight. It took me awhile to find an airport staff to ask. He said…

Taking photo tips

In: personal| photography

3 Jun 2010

Taking pictures is a lot of fun. I really like taking pictures. But before taking one, I make sure that scene is great and perfect. When someone decides to take happy snaps and you want to look your best, remember that when the light hits the person from directly above, it creates shadows on his/her face. So, to be picture perfect have the sun behind and avoid overhead lights if he/she is inside. If you are the one taking pictures for someone do not just take picture as is. You need to make sure that the shots are good and the pleasant. It will take credit on you if you got great photo shots.

Did you know?

Did you know that you can recycle your old electric toothbrush? Electric toothbrush is an effective oral hygiene tool, reducing staining and gum disease, and motivating you to brush. A friend of mine has long, gleaming, healthy finger nails. She uses an old electric toothbrush to buff them. Her toes get the same treatment. So keep your old brush heads for your nails. The vibrations stimulate the blood flow, and any bits of leftover dirt goes flying! A little oil or cream on the brush helps the shine. It will not only makes you happy but as well as our mother earth. It is a little to help our world greener.

Wish I have

How I wish I have a big sister or a big brother. I will never experience that for I am the oldest in the family. My life would have been happier and easier. I have no regrets though. I have no one to confide to of what I am going through aside from God and some close friends. There are things that could not be shared to friends though. That is why I tried to be a good big sis to my siblings. I do things for them as what I want my big sis do to me if ever I have one. It is fun to be a big sis but sometimes the load of care is heavy. I…
