Finally I finished my study here in Ma Chung University. I’m happy to be a part of my friends’ life, my lecturers’ life, and also my university. I learn so many things here, and my world become much wider than before. I begin to love IT and its prospect, also I begin to have passion in some foreign languages. And I wanna say thank you for good friends and lecturers. I never think I will meet them when I was in high school. It’s not a coincidence, but I believe that’s part of God’s beautiful plan to make us meet each other.

It’s not only good moment but also hard moment I’ve passed. And this university changes me a lot to be a better people. Thanks God for giving me strength to pass this, for accompanying me when I’m sad, and for being happy when I’m happy. 

I will always remember that it's still the beginning to face real life, to fulfil my duty that is destined for me in real world. I feel there are so many areas in my life I haven’t developed yet. There are several areas that are not yet healed. Next step, I will go to Jakarta for work. I will continue to progress, to learn to be better. I will seek His purpose on me. 

Thank you Lord, thank you my family, thank you my friends and lecturers, thank you my university. I’m really happy to be part of you.

Do you have questions that you don’t understand in this life? 

Are you in condition you don’t understand, why do this happen to you?

I have so many questions I don’t understand yet. Why I don’t have nice beginning like others. Where I will go. What I will be in the future. And there are several questions I don’t understand yet.

Every people have its own questions too, and those could be different as time goes by. Those can be your past, those can be your present, those can be your future. Let’s take the simplest example. When we was in Senior High School, we will start questioning which university we will continue our education. After we graduate from university, we will start questioning what kind of job we will take. Who is our future husband/ wife. What kind of future we will have. There are also other types of questions, for example why we are betrayed by people that we believe so much. Why we go bankrupt. Why we must experience this failure. And still so many.

But we know as long as we have God in our life, there is assurance for our life. Remember that we are not God and He is God, so it is normal for us to have so many questions. Remember that He will never leave us. He will never forsake us, for He is faithful. Just go on with Him, believe in Him in our every way, and He will give us the right direction. By walking according to His direction, our questions would be answered one by one.

Do you believe, none of our questions left unanswered in the end? At that time we will realize that our book is finally perfect. God, who is author, will finish our life book. At that time we will completely understand that God’s plan is the best for our life. He loves us perfectly more than we can imagine!

One day, there was an old man walking in the beach, in the dawn. He saw a little boy picking some starfishes, and then throws them to the sea. The old man asked the boy why he did like that. The little boy said, if he let stranded starfishes in the beach, when the sun rises, the sunlight will burn and kill them. “But in this beach, as eyes can see, there are several millions of them,” the old man refuted, “Does your deed make difference?” The little boy looked the starfish that he hold inside his hand, and then threw it to the sea. “To that one I made a difference!” He said.

Be the light worker, we can’t be everything, but we can be something.
