There are many fields in this world, such as science, industry, business, entertainment, sport, etc. All people that do their job have been contributing their own color to this world. Because there are people with their own specialization, our world become the world we’ve seen now. We can see skyscraper with 50 floor heights, animal cloning, and many more technology advancement. We’ve read inspirational story from they who are success in business, how they build their own business from zero become big. We’ve seen from the television, how athletes play so we are amazed by their playing style, wow they’re so cool….maybe we’ve been encouraged by them, someday I can be a famous player!

Nah, how about us that’s still in the crossroad? Maybe we’re still confusing, what will us be in the future? Don’t worry… here are some tips that can help you to love your work later in your life!

1. Pray, pray, pray. Yeah, we’re still in the crossroad right? So, we need to know what’s His plan in our life. He always chooses the best for us, the work that’s the best for ourselves. If we walk according to His plan, always be faithful for Him, and have willing to learn the field that He chooses to us, believe that someday He will changes our work become a great work that glorify Him, that inspires many people!

2. Always learn. There is no great work without perseverance. There are many ways to learn, right? We can use internet or book that support our field. We can learn from people who have became our pioneer. For example, if we want to be success in the business, we can learn Ir. Ciputra’s spirit, become a hard worker since his study time. If we want to be success in science, we can see our lamp that lighten us in the home…who is the creator? Thomas Alva Edison that never give up to create such “impossible mission” in his time!

3. Do your best. Whaddya mean? Is there any measurement whether we’ve done our best or not? Just do your work with heart! Don’t compare ourselves to others…it’s just make us minder if we are worse than others or maybe, it will make us arrogant when we are better than others. So…how? In every work that we do, say to God in our heart, “I promise I will do my best! I wanna make You smile today!”. We can practice in from now on, for example when we will do presentation in the class, or when we have a test…say that to Him, and don’t forget to ask Him accompany us…

4. Have a dream. Dreaming isn’t expensive, dreaming isn’t cheap, it’s free! So, what’s wrong if we have dream? Dream can encourage us to live in our crossroad time. And put all of our dreams in His hand…believe that He never disappointed us who hope in Him!

Let us raise up from our weaknesses, let us raise up from our laziness, throw away unneccessary things that can inhibit us! Remember that our life is like vapor in the wind, so use our lifetime to do His work!

At the moment,
Many footsteps printed again
Just like the days before
Me, sightseeing
Beneath the clear sky
Few forms of cloud
Flying slowly in the light-blue sky
Cool wind breezes at my skin
Relaxing my mood, my heart, my feeling

As my eyes stare in the distance
The sun lazing, go back to the horizon
Some blond-hair children
Riding bicycle and laughing each other
No wonder, I think
In this lovely evening,
with mountain strongly stand in the distance
with many trees and colorful plants decorate my surroundings,
Too impossible for everybody feeling sad

While I am enjoying this lovely evening
Me, humming my favorite song
Whilst praying and shouting my hope
Wishing for someday, I could enjoy another evening
In another place, with another atmosphere
But when that moment comes in my life
I would not forget today evening

I’m so glad
I could keep this hope till now
And I know
My hope would never die
When that moment comes in my life
I would not forget today lovely evening
That God gives to me
To strengthen my hope once again
Beneath the clear evening sky

Once upon a time, there was an old man in a village. He was well-known as wise man in his village because of his ability to communicate with dying tree so the tree can alive again. His ability made his village always green.

People in his village often asked him for help if they found a dying tree. Day by day, he was well-known not just in his own village but also neighbored village. Because of that, in one day he is requested for many orders.

One day, he wants to show his ability to many people as much as he can. Then announcement was spread in many villages. The day finally comes, and it’s the show time for him. At first he approached a dying tree, and then he sat down and said some magic formulas. But strangely, his magic formula didn’t give any effect. He felt so shocked and then tried again to say the magic formula. The result was same; the tree apparently didn’t live.

Do you know why is he failed? Because before he is well known by people in another village, he spoke by his heart to the dying tree, but now his motivation has changed. He can’t raise the dying tree because to speak with the tree it’s needed to speak by heart.

“In every work that you do, don’t seek for popularity. Do it by your heart, follow your heart.”

I wanna be free
Free from anything that obscure me
to find my true self
Free from fear of the unknown
Free from the others’ misjudgation, even my self misjudgation
I wanna be free
What the others think about me?
What the others think about me?
How I am compared to others?
Am I better or worse than others?
I wanna throw away those useless questions
Really, I wanna throw them away, far from my mind

I wanna be persistent
I wanna become my true self
I am created with different talents, different thoughts, different interests, different plan…
and many more differences
So, I don’t need to compare myself to others
I wanna be persistent
Be brave to be my true self
Become the person that He wants, not the others think

My life is like vapor in the wind
Like wave tossed in the ocean
Now I am here, then another day, who knows?
If I spend my times trapped in the fear, misjudgation
It means, I waste my precious time that He gives to me, right?
Now I will learn and learn
I wanna develop my own talents that He entrusts to me
I believe His plan to me is special
Coz He has different perfect plan for each people
His plan for me is also the best, it’s for sure

Yeah, I wanna be persistent
Just like a home built above the rock!

Long time I haven’t written my blog. Yeah, during this last month in this semester I feel so busy, so many tasks, home works, activities, tests and I must prepare my best for all… Finally today comes, holiday…Yay!

I write this while I listen my favorite songs. Songs that I listen when I learn, when I feel so happy because my friends were in my side hearing for me, when I feel so stressed (I’m still not strong enough eh? You can see in my previous writing hehe..). But whatever happens in this semester, I know Jesus is always with me. I know Jesus always accompany me in every step in my life; I know His plan is the best for me…

Now, I just wanna say thanks, thanks, and thanks for Jesus…

- Jesus, thanks because You give me strength when I feel sad. I can feel Your love through people around me

- Jesus, thanks because You make my life colorful…I know every activity that I follow this semester is also Your plan for me…

- Jesus, thanks because You correct me when I begin to be arrogant, when I feel unsatisfied and disgrace…I know it’s because You truly love me, You won’t let me lost….

- Jesus, thanks for all knowledge that I get this semester…I believe every knowledge that I get won’t be useless…I promise to use them for Your glory!

- Jesus, thanks because You give me such heart so I can feel this life is so graceful, so beautiful…

- Jesus, thanks to give strength so I won’t be surrender, I wanna learn and learn to be stronger, fly high with You…

I fully believe in You. You will accompany me forever. I don’t need to worry about unknown because You know everything. Now I will rest for several days, then I’ll think what I will do for this holiday!
