This has been a challenging and good opportunity to have a new room, feel new experience with new friend! Ehm, I am sorry for to much 'new' words, this because I am very excited to the new opportunity that by His Mercy and Faithfulness happen in my life.
Last Saturday (06-06), I and my fellow boy students move to new mixed up rooms. After being overwhelmed by so many goods had to be moved from the old to the new one, eventually we finished up and ready to arrange the room as best as we can (and this is boys room... so there must be a little bit challenge to make it a little bit more tidy). But, I learnt a good thing yesterday from this special moment and that is to help each other in bearing their goods. Nice acts. In Indonesian we call this 'gotong royong', which I think I can not find the corresponding word in English, literally it means:gotong: to lift up (a burden) , royong:together.
And the unique thing is that in my new dorm room, almost all members are excellent in certain music instrument. Soeryo (a bassist), Mas Suko (a violinist), Mas Eko (guitarist -- but even more in basketball), Mas Yusak (a classic guitarist-- and an expert :P in physics), Andreas (a jazzy guitarist) and Daniel (a drummer)!! I am very glad that God has made us to be together in this room and I really hope that we can have a good time to share our lives and witness Christ the Lord through our communal life and my prayer always that they might really live in true Faith and Devotion to Our Lord. To God be the Glory....
And therefore once again I recite this Psalm 133 joyfully (and my joy that the Hebrew text here I got from Brock's comment in
this post)
א שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת, לְדָוִד:הִנֵּה מַה-טּוֹב, וּמַה-נָּעִים-- שֶׁבֶת
אַחִים גַּם-יָחַד
A song of ascents; by David. Indeed, how good and how pleasant
is the dwelling of brothers, especially in unity!
ב כַּשֶּׁמֶן הַטּוֹב ,עַל-הָרֹאשׁ--יֹרֵד, עַל-הַזָּקָן זְקַן-אַהֲרֹן:שֶׁיֹּרֵד, עַל-פִּי מִדּוֹתָיו
Like the oil that is superior upon the head, running down upon the beard; the
beard of Aaron running down over his garments;
ג כְּטַל-חֶרְמוֹן-- שֶׁיֹּרֵד ,
עַל-הַרְרֵי צִיּוֹן:כִּי שָׁם צִוָּה יְהוָה, אֶת-הַבְּרָכָה--חַיִּים,
עַד-הָעוֹלָם
so the dew of Hermon descends upon the mountains of Tsiyon;for
there the LORD has commanded the blessing, May there be life forever!
Glory to Thee O God, Glory to Thee!
Ameyn!!
