You Are Precious

I want to share a Bible verse that resonated with me at that moment and it still resonates with me now. And I'd like to believe that it would resonate to you as well.


Isaiah 43:4 
Since you were precious in My sight, 
You have been honored, 
And I have loved you;


I received this Bible verse during a retreat trip in 2017. It's our last day and we're having a ceremony, thanking God for what we've got during the retreat and pray for safety on our way back. During ceremony, each one of us got random Bible verse and I got this. I couldn't help but crying.

At that moment, I felt I was nobody, I was nothing. Why would God say that I'm precious ? I didn't realize that God loves us all. In His eyes, we're precious, YOU are precious. God created us for a purpose, that's why we're not born in vain.

I know life can get tough sometimes, or a lot of times. But we have to remember we have GOD who is bigger than all of our problems combines. All He asks us to do is believe in Him.

Misa Tahun Ajaran Baru

Memasuki tahun ajaran baru, sekolahku yang merupakan sekolah Katolik, mengadakan Misa Tahun Ajaran Baru. Misa hari ini dipimpin oleh Romo Thomas Ulun Ismoyo. Orangnya lucu, sangat humoris, tahu bagaimana membuat kami tertawa. Ia adalah pastor baru, belum ada setahun ia menjadi pastor. Dan hari ini dia memberikan beberapa penyegaran melalui khotbahnya. Ia memulai khotbah dengan pengalaman ujian saat ia bersekolah di SMA Gonzaga. Ia menceritakan bagaimana teman-temannya menjadi rajin ke kapel saat ulangan umum dan ruang pengakuan dosa menjadi penuh saat ulangan umum selesai. :) Ia juga menceritakan pengalamannya saat ujian untuk menjadi Pastor. Ia juga memberi nasihat bahwa seringkali orang yang gagal itu suka mengajak orang lain ikut gagal supaya ia tidak merasa gagal sendirian. Well, I think it's so true !!! Especially when we feel lazy to study and we ask our friend not to study too. Picture source : https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhW2SbHClfb_8EIn-wZPPz...

Fake It Till You Make It

I want to share my recent watch. Disclaimer first, I'm not reviewing from a professional perspective, but from audience point of view. If you're agree with me, then welcome to the club. If not, it's ok, as long as we can share what's on our mind freely and not hurting others. :) So, I've been watching a new Netflix series, title 'Emily in Paris'. It's typical rom-com/sit-com. Not that it's super funny, but it's a fresh series which portrays life of an American in Paris. I think we've seen enough young adult, reaching their quarter life, having the best times of their lives, feeling on top of the world, that they can achieve anything, but located in New York. This one is slightly different, it's located in Paris, a city renowned as 'city of love'. But still relatable because it's filmed based on American perspective, which is Emily, played by Lily Collins. I think it's genius. I've watched the first 2 episodes and I...
