I have been very happy these days. Not because I am always happy, but I try to walk with God. I want to tell you something. God doesn’t deal with myth. He doesn’t deal with superstitious. Why i tell you this? This is the reason.If you follow my twitter, you might know that I have been very spiritual this week. Nope! I am not saying that I become a spiritual person. I am saying about giving thanks. I try to give thanks to everything that happens in my life. I give thanks for my job. I give thanks for a new day. I give thanks for the food. They are very simple things to thanks for. What I got? I got joy. You might believe, and you might not believe. But I got JOY.Yesterday, I was really happy. From the morning till the dawn, I always happy. I also do not know why. My mom once told me that I should not laugh too much, because it will ended up crying at night. I do not know about this but I believe it. So, I always afraid to be happy too much in the afternoon to prevent myself crying alone at night. Well, I am alone now, with no family here in new island so no one will accompany me physically when I cry.

Yesterday, I laughed. I spent my whole day laughing. Excuse me, I was not crazy, I was just being thankful for every little things, remember? So I laughed with my colleague, I laughed with my manager, I laughed with my brother and sister in God, I had so much great time with them all. Then I took time to think. “What if I cry tonight because I am overwhelmed with this joy?”, “People become very sensitive of sorrow when they spend too much time laughing”, etc. Then I feel like God speak to me, “Try me”.

This morning, my 3 boarding house friends and I went to the plaza. Mr. Sexy joined us too. We had lunch together and we played together. Suddenly, Mr. Sexy had a pain on his left foot. So, after having a short discussion, Mr. Sexy sat in one the sofa in that mall and I spent the rest time with my boarding house friends. Feeling pity and worry, I called Mr. Sexy every 5 minutes to make sure that he is okay.

My friends and I played Dance - Dance Revolutions one time and then we went to the department store. I helped one of my friends to choose the best outfit for her. She wanted to buy a new dress. Soon after we finished shopping, Mr. Sexy called me and told me that he could not bear the pain anymore. So, we went home.

I was very disappointed at the first place because we could not having fun with my friends. After arriving home, I cleaned up my room and I took a shower. I washed my hair and I changed my clothes. Then I opened my opera mini on my cellphone.

The first time we met them, we were happy. The first time we communicated with them, everything seemed good. We showered them with gentleness. We kissed them. We hugged them. We shared times with them. We understood them. We forgave them. We made a joke with them. Years after years gone by and everything become clear. They are not as perfect as we think. How do you feel?

Commonly, after we know deeper about someone, we find it difficult to show our care and love. It is difficult to say, “I love you”. It is also difficult to say, “I forgive you”. It is easier to say, “You used not to be like this!” or “I hate you” or just simply “Huh!!” We feel right and they are all wrong.

What does God teach us when we pray?

Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me,
for I have not yet returned to the Father.
Go instead to my brothers and tell them,
‘I am returning to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.’ “
John 20:17 (NIV)

What does it mean that you are able to call God your Father?

I used to be skeptical about this. Yes, I am going to church. Yes, I am reading daily devotional. Yes, I believe that He is always beside me. Yes, I believe that He is watching me. Yes, I know that He is my Heavenly Father. No, I sometimes do not think that He is my father. Until I met my fiancé.
I used to pray like a poet. I created beautiful words so that my prayer would be wonderful. I closed my eyes and pretended that I am a good prayer. I acted like I have a very close and personal relationship with Him. In fact, I am not!

Before we go to the main point, let us read these verses first.

John 2:13 - 22 (The Message)

2:13 When the Passover Feast, celebrated each spring by the Jews, was about to take place, Jesus traveled up to Jerusalem.

2:14 He found the Temple teeming with people selling cattle and sheep and doves. The loan sharks were also there in full strength.

2:15 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right.

2:16 He told the dove merchants, “Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a shopping mall!”

2:17 That’s when his disciples remembered the Scripture, “Zeal for your house consumes me.”

2:18 But the Jews were upset. They asked, “What credentials can you present to justify this?”

2:19 Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple and in three days I’ll put it back together.”

2:20 They were indignant: “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you’re going to rebuild it in three days?”

2:21 But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple.

2:22 Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.
