America Eh?

Finally I'm here in United States, two months I have struggled in this country, studying and working at the same time
Well, one thing that crossed my mind these days, if most missionaries were coming from here, why is it so hard to find christian in my campus
Most people idolize themselves and what they have: money, fancy cars, fancy clothing, and their star idol
This reminds me a lot while I was in China
So many people that has not been saved
but the different is.... people here are free to go to church
They don't have to worry about persecution, but yet they don't care
It saddens me a lot

So, my other job here, not only to study and work, but also to pray
This country needs God more then ever
Children are not allowed to pray in school anymore
Same-sex marriage and abortion are allowed and more to come....

Matthew 13:49
So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous

What I can get from here is towards the end of the age, the right people, God's people will be differed clearer with worldly people. We will stand still while the rest are getting far from God. More opportunity for us to shine in darker place

But it comes with more consequences and challenges. How can we approach them? How can we bring them to God? As human, I could not think of any way to work it out. But there's one way

1 Timothy 5:5
She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day

Let we communicate with God night and day, pray throughout your day, pray before you meet people, let Holy spirit works in you. Because our mind is limited but He is the infinitive. One thing is do you have the heart to see people to be saved or you want to stay safe?

Work your salvation!
Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure

I was thinking before, why God told me to America this time while there are lots of Christian here. now it's beed revealed part by part, how he love this nation a lot and I hope I can be used in His work here.

God Bless America - San Francisco, California

life, how are you?

It's been a long time since I updated things
Life.... ups and downs everyday
New people come
Old people go
Life always like that


It's been a pretty constant year for me
working at office everyday
serving at church on sundays
working out every other night
going somewhere with friends or family on the weekend
it happened pretty similar every week


This 2 semester I'm struggling with some biggest issues in my life
trying to pretend that they don't exist
but so funny that the problems are still there
I don't know what will it be and as you know that I might leave Indonesia in 2 months
I realized that I'm feeling anxious, afraid of the circumstances


Regardless all of that, I thank God for another lesson this stage of life, about how to surrender
God has put plans, perfect plans for each of us, in specific way
While we do his will, God settles other things beyond our capacity


So then, I'm waiting for the decision for my master degree this Friday/Saturday
Whatever the result, God knows the best for me
Actually there are more to say now
but you can say it is an indication for more posts to come, been to lazy to write these days

HALL OF FAME

In one mall near to my home, there is an exhibition of famous people's pictures made by a single man
He hung it all across the basement floor
As today I went home from there and saw the pictures, I was thinking about having my picture between all the celebrated people
I want to be known as someone who are counted in this world
but that's so random


As I went to Hollywood a few years ago, I was astounded by all the stars on the walk of fame
But something that perplexing me was all the names sculpted on the stars are unknown to me.
They might be movie stars, singers, or directors from long time ago but they became infamous for new generation people


who's Jerry Lewis?

The pro:

Sometimes, we do need the faith that sometime we will be someone who participate in changing the world to be a better place. Someone who can influence people becoming into great leaders. Because every leader starts from a dream, faith, and correct actions.

The con:
Do we concentrated that much in this world that we need to be something instead of becoming God's something. We don't have to be famous or reknown so that we can influence people. God can work in each of us, in every state and every realm.

Micah 4:5
All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; We will walk in the LORD our God for ever and ever

So, it's my thought of the day, what do you think?

Hey, great news

Dear friends,

Have you ever wait for a news, whether it is your exam result or response from you crush?
Well, you basically you never know for sure what is the waiting for you, right?

As this week I read The book of Jonah I found an interesting point, NEWS. It is not what you watch everyday on TV during your dinner together with your family, no, it is something more enermous than that.


In Hebrew, Jonah means dove. What is it in your mind when you heard that kind of bird? Sure it is, NEWS. People in the past used it as a sole communication media to send message or news to people in distant. Do you remember that God told him to go to Nineveh to send the good news from God. But what did he do back then? He ran away, He kept the message for himself rather than share it with people.

And you know what, we have the good news also and God not randomly chose people

Jonah 1:1
The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: " Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me. "

Do you think God accidentally chose Jonah and let him go just like that? No! He is being faithful for him and He knows that he is capable for accomplishing that.

In world, we oftenly had the opportunity to give good news for people. We are so excited because we know that the people who we are about to inform is about to get the extreme happiness.

And now, God entrusting us with the GREATEST NEWS ever in this world, the salvation! and where are we right now? Did we hide it under our bed or did you give it to your friend because you thought that you were not good enough? He has chosen you because He believed in you and He himself is in you to make sure you are ready to bear all things.

" Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father and The Son, and The Holy Spirit"

So, go and spread the good news, but be careful.... The whale are watching!

BEWARE!

with Love,

Denny

application?

It has been almost half a year since the last time I blogged and now I work at a multilevel marketing, time goes on, doesn't it?
I am back to lovely town, Jakarta
Met my parents and dear friends
Reconnected with the church here
met new brothers and sisters

#backtobusiness

Monday, yes today is Monday
I started the day, drove my parents to their friend's house as they went to Thailand today
It is quiet at home today and suddenly I missed TV sound and my dad's playing nintendo DS after a tiring day
I'm being such a melancholist today

continuing the day
I felt so sick today, like there are babies inside my stomach kicking out
Well, tensions happened today
Intimidation, prejudice, demeaning words
All eyes looked down on me, everywhere....
My other side said that the world hate me today
Just get out, refrain and free yourself
There were things coming out from my head

What I love about my God is His faithfulness to all His children
He knows that when I'm alone, it's easy for me to compromise
I went to the gym today, joined body combat class and trying to let loose the emotion
Whom should I punch or strike?
The one whom should I hit is myself
To remind that there is nothing that can soothe me, except Him

Sometimes I love the moment when I am alone
I don't have to think about anything, God enters my mind easily
He just said simple things about life
World will never be your friend, but how you respond that matters
How you would nod to people who yell at you
How you smile to those denigrating eyes
How you say I love you when they say I hate you
Everything is beautiful if you could see it from His eyes

So am I ready for tomorrow?
No, but God said YES Denny!
I won't be there physically, just spend little space for me in your heart and I will bless your day

They said I am being too nice to be a working people
but wouldn't it be good if everybody fell the same way?
I am not going to change
Back to my life verse

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed bythe renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect

smile even the world give you a dam*
=D

missing something

I miss something precious in my life lately

They way it hit me gently and lastly it soothed

I miss it so much, I miss being REBUKED

I'm so happy that I was reminded about being a nice person

but the way it was exposed and how they are playing with their proud in it

made me....broke

So grateful that I have Him, who taught me to forgive and apply love to whoever they are

me myself is not a perfect person

it's hard for me to be better if there are no one beside me who wants me to be a better person

make it worst if they talked about you with your absence

Ecclesiastes 4:10
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up




humbly I said

"Oh God I need your help
Thank you for the people who was there for me
cared about me and wanted me to be a better person
but now I'm alone
just a simple request
for me to learn more from your people
so that I can bless more"
Amen

the greatest story in your life

We just celebrated easter yesterday and hope that our spirit might not die out
God has risen and He will accompany us till the end of time

This time I am not emphasizing on that point
it is days before that
How God suffered, but once again I am not stressing on his suffering
I want us to do some flashbacks and let's discuss

One point about yesterday's sermon which penetrate into my deepest understanding
A story about a girl who gave all her attentions, financially and emotionally towards her sister and lastly.... She got the opposite things from her, disappointment and rejection
How broke she was
but one thing about that, she got a privilege, to experience what God has felt on the cross

On the way to the cavalry, God hold the heaviest burden ever
not only the pain, but He brought all the sins, the present and the future on His back
and what worst.... Father left Him for being full of sin
He was doing that all for you and like what the girl felt, disappointment and rejection
but He is 100% human but also 100% God who has the truest respond
He brought it all to the cross and present it all to Father

Now..... Let us think about our life lately
How we really crave for acknowledgement and hope that people might do the same thing for what you have done
When you don't get what you expect
You feel sad and disappointed, finally you failed to apply unconditional love
too bad man!

one thing about investment and sacrifice
till now you have been investing your time, your money, and your attention towards people
and you feel that it's enough to make them happy, to feel the Godly love in you
I said NO!
There are the second level which I have mentioned before, sacrifice...
still, you give the same thing: time, money, and attention
but you erase the "I" factor in it
You give your money even though you're in a hard financial condition
You give your time even though you're time is so limited, there are more works to do
but you sincerely give it all
with one prayer, so that His name glorified

So, are ready to feel the greatest story ever in your life?
prepare your heart and God will open the door of opportunity to you
as return, He'll give you blessings and everlasting love
for you are focusing on Him and let Him focus on you

Happy easter
Enjoy!

see the world

today is the last training day for easter's choir
almost all came to prepare for their best performance
to worship God who rise this day 2000 years ago
yea, many people, each of them with each personality
with each flaw and each strength
some may irritating and some may encouraging

and in one point I felt like I couldn't control my emotion
but somehow I let God help me through it with deep understanding
a new lesson for today

do you have people around you who always have a negative thinking?
looking at you like he's the best
try correcting all that you say and every argument that comes out from your mouth

do you have people around you who always put more oil into the frying pan?
helping you to make a false respond
try conforming that you are in the most just position

do you have people around you who always talk about God?
but behind that, their life is far away from His standard
try influencing many people with their proud understanding

that's the world
for me witnessing all that is another privilege
why?

some people may fall in their own way
countering all discomforts given
listening to all misleading whisper
and making a bad respond

well, let me tell you something
God put those people around you so that you may get fast process
how we can stay in silence when we have the opportunity to fight back
how we should learn to love when we were detested
let it be your character, let them see and let God work using your life towards them

how we can think how people's words sometimes may delude
because they talk what based on experience, not based on the words
let us rely on His words alone

imagine this world is filled with people of great character alone
this place would not be a great place to learn
nothing to be grateful for
and even me, an imperfect person may be a blessing for other people for being mean
so that they can learn about patience
and God will lead me back because that's my nature
I can't live long in the other side

proverbs 27:17
as iron sharpens iron
so one person sharpens another

see the world
see how vary people are
but the most important is how we respond toward each of them
make a right one!

RELY

It's been a week since I accomplished my work outside the city
I remember very well how I was so afraid to start the job
The first thing I was about to do is looking for a substitution for me, another person who is more capable in doing the job
I doubt myself
I told myself that I couldn't do it
but my own laziness led me to the job myself
I ended up saying "yes" to it

The first task was not really hard, to find companies from the internet, look up their profile and note their address and telephone number
It was easy since I have done it a lot in my university life
but.... the second one
I have to call each of it and make a fixed schedule, from estimating time and conform with all the companies
sounds easy right? how about if I said they all speak Chinese?
my biggest fear since I stepped on this land of Panda

Some of them can understand my Chinese and some of them was struggling to understand
and again my mind said no, I refused to say I can do it
and then came the time when I have to go to the company myself to talk with the managers
the good thing was I could see the field I'm about to work on
the bad thing was only 20% that I could understand
turned me down really bad

Finally the company representatives came and the journey began
cold sweat, shaking, trembling
I used to talked without any other presence, and now I have to translate with the boss' presence
I screwed up few times but most of the times I could translate it well
I lost on the read a few times but finally I can find a way to the companies

I told God I couldn't do it, I was so afraid and almost gave up many times
but he soothed me by saying, "RELY ON ME"
I don't know how far I can do, I don't know what is His plan in my life
When all I can see is darkness, He opened my eyes and helped me through the harsh road

That's what some of us may miss
there are opportunities ahead of us
it's free and the result is worthless, what money can't buy
we felt that we can't we can't and we can't because we're not that good
listen!
no one can calculate their own capabilities
we're so limited, even to know ourselves is so that limited
and only the one who gave the opportunity knows
and we only have to rely on Him

Finally I went home after accompanied them to the airport
I brought back my first salary here and tons of experience
I said to myself that I need not all the money, the opportunity and experience are far enough for me
free expensive food, good accommodation, and extra money couldn't be compared with them
came home with a new perspective, to humble myself, not to rely myself but to rely wholly to Him

Psalm 37:5
Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you

one thing
When you pray for others, for sure there are people there who are praying for you too and God will bless you with tons of process and the key is your respond towards that

beloved son

It's been a busy semester for me, I mean really busy
it's different with the one that I experienced in university, it's not about the university and how to make great event
now, it's all about how to build my future
from test to test, how I survived the business class day by day and today....

is my first day on my job trip as a.... translator

well, I studied Chinese for the past 8 months and I didn't think it's enough for me to accept such an offer
but.... I remember

The pastor from the local church once said that this year is the year of multiplication and promotion
I put my faith in it and did what I have to do to fulfill that
Once I just talked to myself, I need a job here, maybe English teacher or anything simple

but God said no!

it's not about how I can be comfort get money from any easy job
He really doesn't want to waste any time
to have a job and to learn something, to rely on Him, not to rely on my own power

Lately...

God gave me the heart of loving people
prayed, asking so that I can be blessing for more people
and God really put me in that situation
How God put me in somebody's life and work it out

but....

the work of evil is also working towards me
they know we have the fire, we have the spirit that leads us
everyday they tried to mislead me, to look away from the focus that has been given

and now, I don't want to think anything about what's going on
turned on my music player, worshiping God and just stay silent, waiting for Him to speak into me

one thing

in any state, where am I belong right now, one thing that He won't leave me alone, He never pull back His promises to me and now
kicking back all the doubts in me and see from His point of view

I'm ready to work and can't wait to see the end product, after years of process
I'm His beloved son, no matter how far I have gone, He always put me back, to the road where He assign me to walk

not power, just humbling

We are forgiven not because we are making sin, but because we are sinners. I am a sinner, you are a sinner, we are all sinners. These previous days God really put me in a situation where I am in humanly existence can do sin in so many ways, but that's what you call self-centered life once again. I failed in one of my important tests towards my dream education. However, that time God really taught me two ways oh humbling yourself:

1. You're not suppose to be sad, you're suppose to be grateful
an act of being grateful makes you become such a humbling person. It is self denial. Well, I have the option to be sad, to bang my head towards the wall and so on, but I chose to be grateful. I don't want to be sad because that means I'm sad because I can't achieve MY dream. I emphasize the "I" factor in it. I'm being so proud of my own strength and wisdom, then when I fell, I felt so disappointed on myself. God knows more than I do, so by not giving me the chance to pass that tests, He could give me something new to tell, and I just got it.

Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the Lord:
"Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord"

2. You can't avoid sin, you know you can't
When I think about sin, I'm thinking about something that I should avoid, something that I can escape from, but actually no! We're human and we still covered by our flesh, that's why we are all sinners. The only way to deal with sin is to be humble. We should realize that we are strength-less towards sin and only God that has the power for us to handle with it. I still remember about the analogy from a book about a person who can't swim. The first time he fell to the water, he'll use his own strength to keep on the surface, but at the same time, the rescuer doesn't have the opportunity to help him, because the one who can't swim has enough strength to beat him. So he'll wait until the almost-sink person to relax a bit and start helping him. The same with us, if we say, we could handle the sin by ourself, God won't help us and that's when we fell for the hundredth times. so just pray to him, I know I'm weak, I can't handle sin by myself and let His power help you through that.

Well, I am also not a perfect person, the same person who keep on learning how to be a humble person. We need a person who knows that all and really understand how it is hard to be humble then start your accountability with him, then you'll see why we all need it.

Promise

It was a great month for me and now we're facing something really bad
BANKRUPTCY
yeah, last month after becoming a tour leader for newcomer
need to go somewhere they have never been before, sheet by sheet of my money spent on something I've been experienced before

Somehow, when I meet Him, I felt something different
I tried so many time to save some money on my wallet and I failed
I always ended up spending a lot
I spoke to God, how should I do, even my tuition money has been used for covering all of it
and He only said this

Dear my loyal son, you don't need to worry what is it in the world, what should you eat and what should you wear, because you can never imagine what I have in the universe
You have been good with me and let me share to you what I have to provide all you need

days by days I've waited, countless calculation I've done to see how much I got left
didn't give up to believe what He said to me before
and suddenly my mother sent me message that said I've transferred this amount of money from Chinese new year
well, it's a lot for me, saved my finance situation a lot here

but, His work didn't stop there....

the next day my mom sent me another message saying that she transferred more money from again... the Chinese new year
if we sum up all of it, it could be the most money I got from Chinese new year
even though I doubt it at first because I'm here in China without my presence in Indonesia

and that's it.... Oh, I forgot something

the next day my father called and said he would send me more money to pay the tuition
let's recall
I said before that I have used my tuition money to cover my deficiency here
and then he'll send me more for it

well I remember something from the Words

Isaiah 48:17-18
Thus says the Lord,
Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"I am the Lord your God,
who teacher you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea

God has given you promises but there are some tasks that you have to do, to be loyal and humble to Him, then everything will be provided well from Him, because He knows what's best for you! yes, each of you!

a reminder

*I think it's time for me to do small update than giving big update but in random, unexpected times

well, today the same topic came into my mind, about my education and about what am I going to do in my future life

I'm enjoying the day today, watch the newest season of American Idol after one long downloading night and I started with episode 01 - audition in New Jersey
as what I expected as usual, there are people who desperately wanted to go to Hollywood so that he/she could continue the process of becoming an idol
some of them will continue as the judges love their voices and personality and some of them went home, leaving all the dream behind


I point on one girl, 16 years old girl with a good voice
She's counting her age until she could manage to join the American Idol contest and she recorded every special moments till she entered the judges room and finally she got her golden ticket
is there anything special? yes, from my point of view
the last statement from her," this is my time to shine and I'm 16"


there are two "I" points here which show self-centered
time to shine and lastly she stated the young age as self-glorification
well, the judges finally approved her talent and let her move on



See from other contestant, another 16 year old boy named Travis Orlando with smooth voice from Bronx, my favorite kind of voice
It was started with a story about his family and how they survived during the past years and this might be hope for them
then he sang two songs which made them impressed
after the good news, all of his family got into the judging room and praised God
last statement from him
"we've been down as a family altogether but I really wanna do this for them and prove to other people that everyone can do this"
and we got values here
1. to be grateful for anything
2. love one and another as a family
3. other-people-centered life


So what's the correlation with me this time?
well, nothing actually
but no... after watching American Idol this time, I got to be reminded about what's my purpose of life, what's God's promise for me and how to be humbled and surrender wholly to him
and thinking about my future, I'm starting my IBT training today, thanks to the internet

so, that's how you suppose to watch the Idol =D

I'm fine

Like the title above, I am fine
It's been long since I wrote the last post and here I am in the cold winter of guangzhou without heater, struggling to wake up early for winter class everyday

I'm fine at least I'm trying to be fine
yeah, recently we just passed 2010 and now we are in 2011
of course I have my own goal set and resolution this year
but the difference for this year is I wrote what should I do to achieve that
not just saying what will I get this year but how am I suppose to do to get that

and now, pursuing what I'm about to get this year (full of faith mode)
there are so many obstacles in front of me trying to put me down
till now I'm trying so many alternatives I could get so that I can get into the next point
tired? Yes, absolutely tired
from my point of view everything is impossible right now, don't know what to do, don't know who to ask, don't know where to go
just praying to God so that the alternative way may appear
just keep being faithful and loyal to Him

I just want to say that, to believe Jesus is easy but to follow Him, it's challenging
I'll pray whoever read this, you who are struggling to achieve something or praying for something, that you may be strong, stand firm in your faith and keep believing.

Don't just dream it, but live it!
(for the sake of His kingdom)

I lose so that I can win

There are surely so many types of people in this world
Even I'm still learning to know more about it
Simply there are 4 types of characteristic, which are
choleric
likes to order food while everybody is complaining about their stomach

phlegmatic
likes to eat and serve alone

Melancholic
tend to be sad after finished eating in an expensive all-you-can-eat restaurant

Sanguine
love his own world, even in a restaurant --''

Well, I'm not talking about those characteristic this time (*wasting time posting pictures)
I'm kind of talking about humility
yes, what's the relationship then?
Like what I have mentioned before, there are so many types of people
and the kind of people that I recently met are those who are debatable or arguable
well, it's good sometimes to meet them
we can get more informations and more knowledges about almost anything
but sometimes, we can compare them to wikipedia, yes it is

WHY?

Because no matter how false the information, the lack of citation and so many other things
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT
they are the sole source for most people who don't want to search for more reliable information
imagine people like that.....

You have tried your best to convince him that you know and even you have experienced the things that you explained
but still, he doesn't want to know
eventhough he has the wrong information
he doesn't care and stand still on his perception

I used to join debate competition in my high school years
in the competition, whether we are pro or contra
there is one rule that prohibit us to relate the argument that we give to religion

"every concept of the world has flaw, but His words are solid, like His presence"

So, how do we handle these guys?
there is only one word, HUMILITY
When there's still will inside of you that says," I cannot lose to a like of him "
and trying to win the argue, you're hiding the proud inside of you
because when you humble yourself, you can lose and sometimes you can win
but when you lost, you didn't really lose
you win..... against you pride

2 philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility counts other better than yourselves

the link

It's been 2 and a half months since I left and there are a lot of things in my mind lately, I.....







miss the moments when we study together












miss the moments when we can laugh together














miss the moments when we can pray together













miss the new year's eve together with you guys













miss the moments when we can all-out together for God as a church












miss the moment when I was about to be born again






miss the moments when we can get tired and get fun together

miss the moments when we share things....

I love you all guys, we may afar as flesh but we're connected as mind, as prayers of GOD
I might not know about you guys lately
I cannot be there to support you, cannot laugh together as you succeed
I pray that as soon as we meet again
I can say
Thanks God for you, yes YOU!
hugs,

a simple statement

Today is the day when the temperature is getting lower

Today is the day when I first saw police in the dorm

Today is the day when all his belongings robbed

Today is the day when he smiled and said:
"eventhough I lost almost everything but I feel grateful that I can see you all today"

nothing is free for me

Like usual, yesterday I went back from gym through the long way behind the campus
and suddenly there were this couple in their middle age
They called me and the husband talked so fast *yeah in mandarin of course
and I heard "huadu" and "wo men yao hui jia"
huadu: a place near guangzhou, approx. 2 hours driving; wo men yao hui jia: we want to go home
Well surely I told them the way to the train station
but they didn't care about that
finally they said "qian" and suddenly there's yelling "BAH!" in my mind
I said I was student and I have limited money to give
and then they said 4 kuai for both of us *total 8 kuai
1 kuai: 1350 Rupiah or 0.7 USD
I opened my wallet and gave my 10 kuai to them
then we went in separate ways

Well, the story ended there
yes, the story ended there but not for me
there is nothing free for anyone of you who took my money away
They have to give me something, but what?
a chance for me to pray for them

When I saw them, they surely were ran out of money
well, I didn't know why
They looked so tired and didn't know what to do but begging for other's money
well, my money maybe would get them back to their house, but how about their life?
I don't know what problem that they got, I only could pray after I walked away
a simple prayer to accompany them

well, I've forgot about this since I was here in China
a good friend of mine once told me about her praying habit
wherever she is, wherever she saw something that she could pray for, she prays
a great God's prayer she is

another great man of God from my previous university also told me about how he lives with God everytime
He said that imagine there's God beside you, when you walked through the way, when you drive your car, when you eat, when you are alone, anytime
There is no spare time for him, He talked with God when he was alone, imagine He is sitting right beside you
that's what I call relationship

Those two lifestyles, I called chained relationship with God
the more you do it, the stronger it will be
When you're alone and you thought that you couldn't stand your problem or the evil's temptation, just imagine He is standing next to you
keep telling you to stay strong because HE'S HERE

Psalm 23 : 4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me

When you're in a problem
on your way back, you keep grumbling and mumbling
when you're in a grief
you keep crying and pitying yourself
when you're in a happy occasion
you keep laughing and loving each other
We tend to forget God beside us

share your problem with Him, then He will help you get through it
He knows your grief, so hug him and He'll give you joy
share your happy moments with Him, then He will give you even more happiness

keep praying for your surrounding
keep your relationship with him to be stronger
be a God's soldier
