Bersyukur

Halo temen2,

Sudah 1 minggu setelah aku post message yang terakhir. Ada satu hal yang terjadi di tempat aku ngelab. Sempet share sama beberapa orang hehe.. makasih yah buat dukungannya... Aku sempet clash sama satu colleague... masalah sepele banget, tentang sharing workstation. Hal ini dah berlangsung dari akhir taon lalu sejak dia pertama kali masuk kerja di grup aku... aku gak akan cerita detailnya seperti apa... overal, aku ngerasa fail dlm berkomunikasi dgn dia.. I've tried my best utk arrange, communicate.. tapi akhirnya i lose our friendship... sedih seh... masalah kecil aja sampe bosnya dia (bosnya supervisor ku) turun tangan... satu hal yg aku syukuri, Tuhan memberikan kepercayaan atas diriku kepada supervisor aku.. I'll just hope that through this incident two of us really learn something.... kabar terakhir yg cukup buat aku shock.. dia mengundurkan diri dgn alesan dia gak bisa getting along dengan orang2 segrup... sempet nanya ama Tuhan, haruskah semuanya berakhir seperti ini....

Mezbah Doa kamis kemaren di gerejaku sama KTBku last 2 weeks mengingatkanku akan ucapan syukur yg sering kita2 naikkan... Seringkali kita mengucap syukur atas hal2 yang terjadi di dalam hidup kita.. misalnya, aku mengucap syukur krn hasil ujianku baik, karena penyertaan Tuhan di dalam pekerjaan... Tetapi apakah kita pernah mengucap syukur terhadap atribut2 Tuhan yang begitu besar dan banyaknya?? Apakah kita pernah bersyukur atas kebaikan Tuhan, kebesaran Tuhan, kemahatahuan Tuhan?? Hehe, aku gak bilang bersyukur atas apa yang Tuhan perbuat untuk kita itu salah... tapi mungkin lebih baik lagi kalo kita bersyukur atas siapakah Tuhan... mikir2, untuk ngebantu kita mengenal Tuhan juga.. hehe

Sebuah lagu yg mengungkapkan mengapa kita harus bersyukur

Kubersyukur s'bab Kau setia
KumemujiMu karena Kau sangat baik
Mulialah namaMu
Kutinggikan kuagungkan
S'lama hidupku

Praise God for not what God has done for us but for who God is.

Segala hormat puji dan sembah hanya bagiMu,
anakMu

Standing Alone!

Just Wait

Hi friends,

pakabar? hehe gak kerasa dah mau Paskah yah.. tinggal 3 minggu lagi... di gerejaku ada musical tgl 26 maret tentang Joseph, dateng2 yah kalo bisa.. jem 5 sore.. hehe aku suka lagu2nya... hehe.. kata2nya bagus...

rabu kemaren sempet mampir ke Life Bookshop, liat2 poster trus ada satu yang ngebuat aku teringet beberapa kejadian di awal taon 2005... Beberapa kejadian yang aku gak ngerti knp terjadi.. seakan2 Tuhan direct aku ke sana dan lalu yang terjadi sebaliknya.. hehe.. yah nanya2 ama Tuhan seh.. 'kenapa Tuhan?' and 'Aku gak ngerti Tuhan'

Aku bersyukur banget atas penyertaanNya lewat sate, aku diingetkan untuk diem dan nunggu.. jangan lari atau mengisi dengan kegiatan2 supaya gak mikirin hal itu. Trus sempet ada ayat Psalm 46:10a Be Still and know that I am God. Satu ayat yang membuat aku diem dan bertanya2 knp aku bisa meragukan Tuhan dan continue to preservere spiritually. Trus berkali-kali Tuhan nguatin lewat firman Tuhan di Sunday Service dari Amsal. Trus Evening Class di SBC lewat kitab Hosea, Tuhan menunjukkan betapa besar kasihNya kepada bangsa Israel, meskipun bangsa Israel telah berkali2 berbalik dari Tuhan. Penghancuran yang seakan-akan hukuman dari Allah akan membawa ke restoration dan penggenapan janji Allah.. hehe sungguh indah seh berita ini.. kalo Tuhan sayang bgt sama anak2Nya dan destruction yang diberi itu bukan total destruction tapi destruction that leads to restoration. Clark Keith sempet ngomong juga waktu di kelas SBC, waiting is a hard time. It needs fully surrender and trust to the love of God. hehe setuju bgt dgn kata2nya...

well, aku ketik aja yah apa yg aku liat di brochurenya.. hehe aku beli buat ngingetin aku kalo2 aku mau lari dari Tuhan... :P

Just Wait

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate...
and the Master so gently said,"Wait."

"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!"
Is your hand shortened? or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.

My future and all to which I relate
hangs in the balance and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign.
Or even a 'no', to which I'll resign.
You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
we need but to ask, and we shall receive.
Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply.

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate
as my Master replied again,"Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
and grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting.. for what?"
He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine....
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.

I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.
You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
you'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
when darkness and silence are all you can see.

You'd never experience the fullness of love
when the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
but you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
The glow of My comfort late into the night,
the faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
from an infinite God who makes what you have last.

You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
what it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
but oh, the loss if I lost what I'm doing in you.
So, be silent, my childd, and in time you will see
that the greatest of gifts is so truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still... WAIT"

Buat temen2, yang lagi nyari kerjaan, yang lagi doain PH, yang lagi hoping for miracle, atau yg lagi bergumul tentang sesuatu.. semoga ini memberikan kekuatan tersendiri :P

hugs,
Sienny

Good day!

Hi friends,

One of my friends challenge me whether I can update this blog consistently or not hehehe... I admit it will be difficult... I don't know why suddenly people set appointment this week start from last saturday.... from cell group, choir meeting, KTB, keluarga angkat.... Several deadlines due this week: assignment, one article plus I have to prepare for MC on Saturday... plus I'm a full time student in the lab from 9 am - 6 pm and still have other routine tasks..... I handed in one assignment yesterday.. thank God, I manage to finish it on time... dun really know what's happening n why everything can happen at the same time...

Well... right now I can't think of any items for givethanks prayer to HIM except thanks for sun, air, health and Your presence within me. I can't write fancy stuff or verses... just want to quote from 1 Corinthians 15:57 - but thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Just wish everybody is doing well.... let me know also if there's any prayer request :)

Have a good week ahead guys,
Sienny
