~A Rainbow After The Rain~

~Like a rainbow after the rain that God's faithful promise ~

It's rain outside, the cold embraced me tonight, hear the thunders over my house, and see lightning through my window flashy the yard outside. I feel the same thing inside me that there is a battle between my spirit and my flesh.

"You can Eva"

"No, you can't"

"You just need the time and hope"   

"No, you did and you lost the hope. Remember many times what you expected didn't go as your will?"

There's a crying inside me Oh God help me,  I am not able to do this and that, I never even before and always. That's why I won't stop praying but sometimes it's tiring thing for me to do so I won't praying in my bad mood...I feel nothing after pray. I wish, I have power and rich...I can do whatever I want, I can order people to stop hurting my family. They have anything, they can do whatever they want and me? praying and praying, and praying without see something happens.

"Who says nothing happens? It's just need a time for Me to fix. Trust Me. That's all I want"

I want now, that's what You always say my Lord. I'm sick of these things, it's just again and again

"Open your eyes for what I have done for you and your family in past. I never left you nor forsake you"

Yes my Lord, I just need You to set my mind to always understand Your ways

"You don't need to understand My ways My dear...you need to trust Me. There's a beautiful rainbow after the rain. That's my promise, and that's how I work"

This is how we live in this world that we always need God. Seek His face and trusting Him all the times, even when we're in the deep valley. This is the battle inside me everyday when the circumstances hit me more and more trying to put my faith down but He is faithful God. I'm worried to much that things are going to changes in the future. Always, everyday when I'm alone and every night when I'm laying on my bed. Worries never stop haunting me

What happen if..., how about..., what if...,

Life is hard, I wish I could always smile all the times but smile and happy would not change everything. I need "trust" it changes everything for good no matter how hard life is. 

It's God's promises that there's always a rainbow after the rain. There's always joy after weeping, There's always a harvest after sow, and there's hope after struggle.

My prayer for you who dealing with this everyday. The battle never end as long as we are here but God is faithful. 

For his anger lasts only a moment,

    but his favor lasts a lifetime;

weeping may stay for the night,

    but rejoicing comes in the morning.

(Psalm 30:5)

Dear friends,

I think I've been updating this blog lately

My presentation will be on 17th July then I finish my studies from University.

I would love to share my thesis here :)

I know it probably not such a fun stuff but very important to be known in this century.

Today, I made a necklace from vintage ornaments.

probably some of you already saw this idea on Pinterest

but I want to try on my own.

So this is how I made

ornaments,  hard fabric, glue, scissors, and a paper  

now arrange them with your own creation and stick them on the paper

Add caption

will be easy to shape it :)

cut the fabric with the shape that you have made with paper

glue each ornament and put it on fabric

 Sorry about my English but I hope you understand by seeing these pictures.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

Love Across The World

So grateful to have friends and family across the world.

It started from a simple thing. What is it? It's Hillsong...yep Hillsong! 

I love to worship God, I love doing this when I play my guitar or playing piano and say adoration words to God. I know worship since the first time I met God. 

One day, a friend told me about Hillsong, the christian music team from Australia. I still remember the first song that I listened at first time called Center of it All (even though I didnt know what does it mean) but I knew I can feel the true worship through this song. So ended with I was crazy fan of Hillsong, and since that time I learn English by my self through their songs. I was 14 years old...I remember that every friday I got to Internet cafe just because I sent them an email haha.

Once, my dad gifted me the DVD and I watched all the concert...I cried in the front of TV because I really reached the worship when I enjoying watching it, and they have a world tour and saw young people gathered together in one place, raising hands, jumping, and dance to worship Him and it pushed to have friend all over the world...friends who love God!

And I joined Hillsong community group in myspace.

and since that time it really gave me progress in my English

and I kept in touch with each one who wants to be friend with me.

and it's so interesting you can share one each other about God in many cultures.

Now I still have some of them, most in Latin America which makes want to learn Spanish.

God brought me amazing friends through this in my life.

Now I almost have friends all over the world...

U.S. hit the top one, then go to South America ( in Honduras and Brazil), then in Australia, Hungary

Friends from Canada  because my sponsor church is there

And since I worked in an organization called AIESEC in my University 

I met amazing young people from 6 continent in this world. I was as manager for a year to assist exchange intern from other countries.

but beyond this all

I am so grateful to have friends who love God from all over the world.

It makes me have such a huge family

we have One Father

we encourage one each other through internet and letters.

We share what we have.

we are connected with Prayers.

I really can feel its impact in my life.

I am' so grateful to have you through this blog.

even in blog...it always makes me smile to see giveaway stuff, and asking for help through prayers, sharing ideas and recipes, and blessing people through our thoughts :)

I will continue do my best in our friendship.

Much Love,

My Sunday and Praying for A Friend

This morning was amazing, I felt His presence when I was worshiping God at church today, my eyes wont stop teary when I sang songs. it's beautiful.

I have wanted to dealing with my busy-ness activity just because I want to spend more time with God, just because I want to be closer to Him, and when I was worshiping Him, God talked to me... maybe I look insane or weird if I said this to people, maybe I can make a mistake...because I'm learning to familiar with His voice in any situation. Well this is what He said 

" I know you need Me, and you've been trying to seek Me. Get up in the early morning, walk out around, breath the fresh air for you and talk to Me; I will be there "

"God, is this You or just my idea to being closer with You? well, I'm not sure but this such great idea, and I want to try and talk with You there"  

so that's it... 

and today, I was having my lunch and my sister came to me, and talked to me. She was saying in wondering " Sister, my friend "V" is staying in the mental hospital right now" I was shocked, I stopped eating then I slowly chewing my food and my sister continue telling me why...

I know that girl well, she is nice person and lovely and feminine  and rich :). she was my sister' best friend at college and my sister was her only loyal good friend for she has been in so much trouble since last year. She had glamour life, I was thinking just maybe she depressed at home and she tried to find  happy life in this world which is wrong. Well, she was married at 15 and I know that marriage life is not easy for that age, she had to dealing with it and unfortunately she is not christian, my family tried once to grab her to be pleased in our fellowship but she seemed not interested. So we let it go, and my parents warned my sister to not be friend with her just because my sister was late to be home at nights, when they're hangout.

So on Dec, she was dropped out from her college,  all her friends left her because they knew she lied about her reality life  (my sister did leave her because my parents asked), her husband left her because they were not happy, and her parents stopped to cost her college and took back her car.

I felt so much sorry of this, my heart is so much broken right now, before my eyes were blind that she needed Jesus and God opened my eyes and I feel like someone yell at me and say "wake up and do something"  

My friends, I want to invite you to pray for my sister's friend, her friends visited her in hospital today but she wont meet anyone. I just begged my mom to visit her or I want to visit her by myself. I'm not sure how I can make this...Holy Spirit pushed my heart to come and praying with her together, I don't know how to start because she is not christian...please praying that God gives me wisdom and uses me. 

Thank you so much! ( I would love to hear about your ideas, if some of you have experience with this)

Blessing.

The Morning Sunshine

Morning sunshine and sunset is one of my weakness. The reason why I always want to wake up early because I really want to see this. Whenever I see the sun rises, it's like I see His face and it gives me peace and a new hope.
I was out with my younger sister, two cousins and my two best friends in the early morning. We woke up at 5 am, and walk out to see the sunrise, we had morning tea and taking pictures there and having laugh together. I love that moment! :)

So here's some pictures of that day

I love love this picture. I feel I see His glory right in the front of me. Captured by my cousin

we not only brought tea and cakes but also make up and dress ;)

The girls and a dog

Blessing!
