Mary

I was thinking about Mary suddenly.
Jesus' mom.
Her life.. it was quite incredible, isn't it?
No wonder that some of our friends would look up to her in such a special way.

Think about it.
From Genesis to Revelation..
has any woman ever conceived in such a way?
by the Holy Spirit? which literally means.. God?

I can't even imagine what that really, really means.

If you watch anime, you probably know this show 'Beelzebub'.
Well that baby was totally not normal. Only the characters in the show would believe he was human.

But Jesus?
He was born a baby. Human.
I suppose Mary would have expected a glow in the dark baby at least.
But there he was.. warm and tiny, in her embrace.
Baby Jesus.

And I suppose baby Jesus needed breastfeeding as well.
So their relationship would've been truly.. that of a mother and child from day one.

to try imagining Mary..
on one hand a normal mother,
and yet on the other hand,
doing her best to grasp this grand plan that God has for mankind.
with her son being at the center of it all.

Gabriel never told her anything about the cross.
What a roller coaster ride.. those 33 yrs have been.

From giving birth to the 'King of prophecy',
watching Him grow.. so special and yet so human.
witnessing Him performing all the 'beyond Krypton' kind of miracles,
and then.. 33 years later..

Stood there.
Watching her beloved son...
up there.. on the cross.. dying..
fulfilling his duty..
as His beloved Son.

What did Mary have in her mind? I wonder..
I only know that her heart must have been broken.
Could God not give her a simpler life?

And yet.. I imagine that scene when she and Joseph were old.
when their baby son was no longer on earth..
when all the prophesies had been fulfilled in their very son,
mission accomplished.

she would probably be sitting next to her loving husband..
thinking of all the things that they have gone through.

At that time she would probably smile,
as she remembered the angel's words that very night.
she would nod in agreement,
whispering while she looked upward.

"I am blessed indeed.. so blessed."

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

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...
