when God allows some days to happen

I don't know how should I call "today." There are some days in life where you just hope that it would not happen. Maybe I should say today is one of them. Hmm...
Two days ago I had a car breakdown. When I was about to leave campus it suddenly stopped. So yesterday I had to leave my car in Mazda dealership, since I would rather have their mechanics look my car thoroughly. I know that I got that car, a relatively not an old one, but with a much cheaper price and I realize that probably it would need some work someday. But please Lord not right now.... (grin). Anyway, today, I just found out that the cost to fix that car is probably equivalent to 90 hours payrate of work. Ok, I'm broke! Errrghhhh.... That's a big chunk of money, oh well... I know that God provides what I need. Amen. It's just one of those feeling while me being a student living in a foreign land, there are times when I cast doubt.

Ok, then I got back home. I was about to do my laundry work. Since I've just moved in to Peterson Manor, it's been a while since I last time did a laundry work here when I was just visiting previous times. I forgot that I should have separated my clothes in two batches of work. HA!!!!! Then my white clothes have their color messed up! Ugghhh. Sebel deh! Well, as the old saying: "the rice has now become porridge." What are you gonna do, eat 'em up!
Yo wes... At least I'm still grateful that there are only 3 "wounded" t-shirts anyway.

Then, I went to the gym to have a bit of exercise and to the pool for swimming, trying to ease up the hectic-ness of the day and relax a little bit. After I finished and grab my wallet and cellphone, suddenly there's an incoming text message from Bandung. I got a sad news from our home church. One of the board leaders just passed away at the ICU in Immanuel Hospital today at 4 am (WIB). Man, I almost can't believe it. He's not even close to 50 yet. He's one of the most humble and generous leader in our church. Many-many times I exchange emails with him when he update me about things in our church. I still remember when we talk via e-mail, he's always asked me when I return home so that we can continue God's work. I must say that I'm very surprised with his passing. He's in a much better place right now. Life is short indeed, although there are some days when we feel that it's soooo looongggg.

Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.


Yes, Lord, be the center of our heart, lead us to the springs of living waters, and we believe that you will wipe away every tear from our eyes.

new outlook

Ok, I've just changed my blog with a new look. It symbolizes another mundane transition in my life right now. As some of you probably have already known, I've been accepted at SBTS to continue my education. It has gone through a series of considerations, prayers, phone calls, emails, informations, dialogs/conversations. I've finally decided to sharpen my knowledge and experience in the area of music, in which I believe that I haven't really understand much at all. I'll drop by at some time with a more detail information. As for now, 'waiting' is the only word that suits here as I still have to face that 'placement test/exam' in August. Meanwhile, life in Louisville, Ky has been great. Yes, I do miss Lynchburg with all of its stories, and I'll come over to visit that place again, sometime....
I won't be able to come fly home this Summer and I can enjoy that, besides, there's plenty of things to do here... So, it's gonna be really interesting. Stay tune. By the way, maybe I can get some feedbacks, yeach I know .. I know... I'm still trying to figure out how to fix that dagger. Please bear with me as I'm still new.
