"Bambu dan Pakis"
Suatu hari, seseorang memutuskan untuk berhenti ... berhenti dari pekerjaannya, berhenti dari hubungannya dengan sesama dan berhenti dari spiritualitasnya. Dia pergi ke hutan untuk bicara dengan Tuhan untuk yang terakhir kalinya. "Tuhan", katanya. "berikan aku satu alasan untuk tidak berhenti?"
Tuhan memberi jawaban yang mengejutkan orang itu."Lihat ke sekelilingmu", kataNya. "Apakah engkau memperhatikan tanaman pakis dan bambu yang ada dihutan ini?""Ya", jawab orang itu
Lalu Tuhan berkata, "Ketika pertama kali Aku menanam mereka, Aku menanam dan merawat benih-benih mereka dengan seksama. Aku beri mereka cahaya. Aku beri mereka air. Pakis-pakis itu tumbuh dengan sangat cepat. Warna hijaunya yang menawan menutupi tanah. Namun, tidak ada yang terjadi dari benih bambu. Tapi, Aku tidak berhenti merawatnya.
Dalam tahun kedua, pakis-pakis itu tumbuh lebih cepat dan lebih banyak lagi. Namun, tetap tidak ada yang terjadi dari benih bambu. Tetapi Aku tidak menyerah terhadapnya. "
"Dalam tahun ketiga tetap tidak ada yang tumbuh dari benih bambu itu, tapi Aku tetap tidak menyerah. Begitu juga dengan tahun ke empat. "
"Lalu pada tahun ke lima, sebuah tunas yang kecil muncul dari dalam tanah. Bandingkan dengan pakis, itu kelihatan begitu kecil dan sepertinya tidak berarti. Namun enam bulan kemudian, bambu ini tumbuh dengan mencapai ketinggian lebih dari 100 kaki. Dia membutuhkan waktu lima tahun untuk menumbuhkan akar-akarnya. Akar-akar itu membuat dia kuat dan memberikan apa yang dia butuhkan untuk bertahan. Aku tidak akan memberikan ciptaanku tantangan yang tidak bisa mereka tangani. "
"Tahukan engkau anakKu, dari semua waktu pergumulanmu, sebenarnya engkau sedang menumbuhkan akar-akarmu? Aku tidak menyerah terhadap bambu itu. Aku juga tidak akan pernah menyerah terhadapmu. "
Tuhan berkata "Jangan bandingkan dirimu dengan orang lain. Bambu-bambu itu memiliki tujuan yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan pakis. Tapi keduanya tetap membuat hutan ini menjadi lebih indah."
"Saat mu akan tiba", Tuhan mengatakan itu kepada orang itu.
"Engkau akan tumbuh sangat tinggi"
"Seberapa tinggi aku harus bertumbuh?" tanyanya.
"Sampai seberapa tinggi bambu-bambu itu dapat tumbuh?" Tuhan balik bertanya.
"Setinggi yang mereka mampu?"
orang itu bertanya "Ya."
jawabNya, "Muliakan Aku dengan pertumbuhan mu, setinggi yang engkau dapat capai."
Lalu orang itu pergi meninggalkan hutan itu, menyadari bahwa Allah tidak akan pernah menyerah terhadapnya.
Dan Dia juga tidak akan pernah menyerah terhadap Anda. Jangan pernah menyesali hidup yang saat ini Anda jalani sekalipun itu hanya untuk satu hari.
Hari-hari yang baik memberikan kebahagiaan;
Hari-hari yang kurang baik memberikan pengalaman;
Kedua-duanya memberi arti bagi kehidupan ini.

Confuse again..
Actually, I'm not in a mood right now. I thought about what I'm going to do next related to my job, and about manda, He acts so waired today. What happen with him? If He has a problem with his job, or anything which is not related to our relation, why he doesn't want to talk to me? Okay, maybe it's privacy. And If it is about our relation? Why he keeps him self in silent mode? I don't even know what is the answer. I asked him if he was oke, he said that he was. Then, I asked again, the answer was still the same. I decide to stop asking the same question. I just hope he really okay. Whatever his problem is, God, Please take care of him.

hey gal, what are you looking for?
Today at office, while i'm busy with my work. I thought about a friend. We are friend since she came here in Jakarta. I heard a story about her today that makes my heart cries. She did something that I thought she not supposed to do. I'm wondering, what is she looking for? She is searching for an expatriate, but what for? recognition? or what? I still hope and pray for she can take care of her self and keep away from a dangerous things. God, help her. She needs you alot. If she lost her self acceptance, please let her find it in You.
I hope she will think twice to do something that will harm her life, remember her mom and dad that live far away from her and think about her own future. Most of all, she will remember You as her God and Saviour. Her life is too expensive to be lived unworthy. Help her God. Please.

pickpocket.. AGAIN??????!!!
I've just reached office this morning, with a question "why i must deal with pickpocket this often?" this morning, when i'm in my journey to go to office, i stood (not set) on the bus. And unfortunately i was stood infront of a pickpocket. Hem, i didn't know actually, but when he act so waired, i can recognize that he is a pickpocket. His arms moved to my bag and i got him. And then, I change my position and try to stare at him.
"I got you this time pickpocket!" that was come in my mind. Thank God, nothing lost from my bag. I've ever been stolen before (at the same bus when i'm going home), and it has made me learn to much. I keep my eye open and try to detect all the waired ambience that comes around me. I promise to my self, that it will never happen again. Help me God, please guard me from pickpocket. I wont deal with one of them again.
