This week has been a very good week for me personally although I am a little bit overwhelmed with many papers and assignments (and I would say that I am not alone in this, since my friends are also in the same condition). And when I got a little time to look at this humble blog in which I write a little contemplation in almost daily basis, I was moved to write something. Yet, I don't know what will this post end up with.But, first of all I want to praise God for this little tool which has been a place where I can take a little time to reflect, to tell the stories and even to write prayers. Actually this blog doesn't matter, but knowing God and the knowledge of Him does matter. And if through this little space the thoughts can be shared, our witnesses of God's Love can be expressed, friendships emerged, prayers and encouragements for each other being longed, and above all, it leads to brotherly love then how beautiful it is!
Thus, I would like also to thank all of my beloved friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and even also all the visitors of this little and unworthy blog both 'accidentally' arrived or lovingly and intentionally visit: thank you. I have never expected this clumsy writing to be a good media to share our faith and hope like this before. As you can see how with simple and even sometimes with monotonous English and often repeated words I tried to express my struggle, feeling and concerns about the day that The Lord allows me to go through to follow Him.
These past days, I was exhausted by flu and by responsibilities I must bear in my studies here as a scholarship student. And that somehow made me not writing. But realizing that I have decided that this little blog to be used as a little reflection of Lord's faithfulness, then I would have another refreshment to continue it and hopefully it somehow can be a little story for whoever wants to hear.
Forgive me brothers and sisters, if somehow I have offended you or being too sophisticate with the things that I don't really understand but I had treated it as if I understood. And just want you to know that each single visit, comment, encouragement and prayer are highly appreciated.
Glory to You, O God! Glory to You!
Your explanations in this post are sincere and of humble and loving spirit. Your writing in the blog is always uplifting, and for one whose mother language is not English, you express yourself beautifully, and your skills are improving. We understand that to write a blog is not to milk a cow, as on a daily basis. We all have lives to live with many responsibilities and obligations, sometimes leaving us little time or energy to write in our blogs. If you have visited my blog lately, you will see this is especially true of me—I have been posting things written by others and not my own. During the last three weeks I have been too overworked and emotionally and mentally drained to write down my thoughts. I still like to let people know I am alive, so I post good things I read from the blogs of others.
ReplyDeleteYou look happy in the photo, and I hope you are recovering from your flu. We are standing with you in prayer for your recovery, and for every other blessing in your life.
I thank God for you every day.
Glad you're feeling better, Yudhie. Thank you for sharing your witness with the rest of us -- I do find your writings uplifting. It is a wonderful thing that we can so easily share the joy of God, and that we can connect with one another across the oceans. May God bless you.
ReplyDeletethanks brother Romanos! And for my sister in Christ, Elissa: indeed it is wonderful :)
