God of my surprises - Awesome Unplugged

So this week's theme has been 'surprise'.
I booked my tic wrongly, and supposedly fly to jakarta yesterday,
which mean I would have missed Unplugged,
our YRC Sunday special service that I have been eagerly anticipating.

I really hoped that somehow, there was something, like a deal to be closed,
that would give me reason to cancel my flight.
So everytime someone asked me when my flight was,
I told them that it's on Sat, UNLESS there is surprise.

But till Saturday morning the surprise never came,

till 14.20 pm, 30 mins before my departure,
and there I was, staring at the departure board
saying that the gate was closed,
I missed it.

That is like.. my first time missing flight.
But that was truly a blessing in disguise.

Coz God let me meet with the crew who told me to come the next day,
and they will let me fly without rebooking and at no extra charge.
They call that 'Go Show'. New words ;)

Woah.. I got my wishes.. in the most surprising way,
No wonder He calls himself the groom.
He is just such a perfect lover He would make any girl fall for Him.

As for Unplugged-

I thot that was what Youth is all about,
that was what serving God in the days of our youth is all about.

I was so proud of them.
These youth who, despite the limitation,
put up their effort to give God a good show.

The room was dark today, coz we were going for cafe style.
But everyone seemed to shine to me.
To see those ushers in their cute uniforms,
our Levites on the stage,
and each and everyone who work together for one purpose.

Thank you everyone.. You are truly beloved.

Too Wild at Heart?

Here.. is an essay written against John Eldgredge's controversial book, Wild At Heart. The essay is quite heavy on theology, but it certainly worths reading to balance ourselves if we were to read Eldredge's book. I believe Wild at Heart is one of the best books I have ever read but all the same, I always felt that it is also one of the most dangerous ones. John Eldredge is one of those blessed with talent to come up with words so powerful you will nod your head in agreement without digesting them, most of the times. And that's why I love the book so much. But I suppose Eldredge is only human. He, like many other servants of God, has the tendency to swing towards the extreme of his own belief that sometimes, they (or we) fall into this trap of 'creating God in our own image'. I believe that the essay in itself has flaws and my own opinion, definitely, also has flaws. Geez I am not even a Theologist. But ultimately, none of us has that complete wisdom to understand G

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for
