World.. face it.
I am a thinker-type person.
I love to analyse things, understand and uncomplicate any complicated matters and misteries.
Focus .. is part of my traits.
But what will happen if suddenly I am not able to think anymore?

Have you ever stumbled upon a situation where you cant decide what to do because of the uncertainty in the future?
And then.. bang! Here comes the ‘What if‘ questions.
Although this might sound simple, but these questions have been a hindrance in the growth of many Christians.
Allow me to listing my own:
- What if the car that I am going to buy is a ‘petrol-depleter’?
- What if this project does not go according to the plan?
- What if she thinks that I am a boring person?
- What if I running up the wrong stairs in my career?
- What if I get an accident?
- What if the food that I get sick because of that food from my friend?
- What if somebody steal my notebook?
- What if the decision that I make is completely wrong?
- What if I dont have time to do everything?
- What if my future is not as good as I want it to be?
- What if people talking behind my back?
- What if God forsakes me? (yes, even this sometimes)
- What if I get robbed on my way home?
- What if they make fun of me when I’m trying to introduce myself to them?
- What if my life stucks at this situation?
- What if my kids are rebellious and wont accept God?
- What if this…
- What if that…

For me, this life is a God given one. Therefore, once I became God’s children, day by day supposed to be used to reflect and wonder at God’s goodness and kindness in my life.
[Prologue] I do not have any specific day in my life when I called myself a Christian, but I do recall a process where God is molding myself day by day. Today, I am going to tell the start of my journey as a Christian. This is not a long essay, as asked :), but I do hope to share my life as a brother in Christ, and I do hope this will continue to edify you all, as I shared both my struggle and my achievement when I try to live a godly life. And as I go with my post, I would also try to insert a reply of your comments here and there, so be aware! If you are not keen on long stories, do skip this one :).
[First] DIFFICULTIES. The glory and joyous feeling of becoming one of Christ and of the family of His saints (note: I call all who believe in Jesus as saints) soon disappear, as the reality of life is very different compare to the short hours I spent in church. There are many times where I actually felt like an alien in this world, where people’s desire and wishes seem to be completely different from what I see was taught from the Bible.

A Christian is not given by virtue since someone’s birth … it is a mark of someone receiving and trusting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. As a result of this turning point, a Christian now lives a life worthy of their calling .. i.e to do good work.
[Prologue] Today, I am going to tell of a story on how I am called to be a ‘Christian’. I know that I should have done this ages ago, but hey, there is a never a word to say too late. So here you are, listening me speaking on my faceless blog :). But hopefully you get to know me better, and not only that, my wish is so that you know my God better, and I do hope that you are encouraged … or even better .. come to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour too.
[Intro] I was born in a family of five (parents and two brothers). My family is a very ordinary family, with a very nice culture upbringing. I was born in a small city in Indonesia, with Chinese blood runs in the family. I went to different towns as I grew up, and continue to move in search for better education.

My friend, Tresia from Virginia, sent me a video as you can see it HERE.
When I was watching it, I really cried, it wasn’t only a lot of tears, until I myself heard my crying sound. I hadn’t cried so long after my husband was sick +2 years ago. So, what the reason did I become crying? I think I saw the reality story of this video. I saw how big the father loved his son. He never said ‘No’ to his paralyzed son that wanted to do something together to reach an uneasy and challenging goal. I saw the face and actions of the father who showed his truly love to his son. There were no complains but I saw them as great Team was on fire to reach an uneasy and challenging goal. They made it!!! I heard my crying sound louder and louder, like a child. I was worried if my daughter saw me like that, it made her confused or afraid why I cried like a little child. I thought I cried because how impressive I was and could not tell anything about this video with my words.
This video reminded me about my father. When I decided to study to the university, he proposed to get retirement soon from Navy 1 year earlier. They asked him not to do it because they would send him to Japan but he refused it. He actually really wanted to go to Japan but he thought me was more important than going to Japan. He was planning to focus in his new business soon he had just started at that time. He said that he needed a lot of money to send me to the university, but if he just made money from the government, it would not be enough, so he wanted to build his business soon and he could make money more than he was in Navy. Right now after many years, his business has become like his dream.
