journal: a little bridge

today was the first time I helped out in a singles connect event.
a simple lunch together really.. but a really amazing one.
we got like 8 ppl from our church and 12 from our friends church.
all indonesians and it was so fulfilling to see them connecting and got along so well.
everyone were so sporting.. woah.

one reason why i agreed to help making this event happens is because I love the idea of connecting good people.
good people who would have not met otherwise.
good people who are victims of nonsensical boundaries.

some people are just against this kind of stuff.
some think 'it is God who provides.. I don't have to do all these'.
that statement is partially right. but they totally miss the point.
and they plant false idea on their peers with such 'conviction'.

another reason why I am for this kind of stuff.
because there are people with genuine need and humility to admit that.

of course not everyone will hv positive thought about this.
as the saying goes.. even Cao2 (an infamous antagonist in three kingdoms) have friends.
vice versa.. there will be opponent even for the most noble idea.

but i am not trying to be of service to everyone..
i am an introvert who has limited social capacity.
all i ask of God is to use me as his channel to bless some people.
and I am glad that we did that today. I hope good things will come out of it.

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
