Stronger!!


Hi...!
Still remember my story about my 1st Israel Trip? oops...did i post it here?
ah...i even don't remember...haha...sorry...
okay, i'll share it here.

i was pray for Israel Trip on September 2009.
i don't remember exactly, but i was pray so hard. Together with Liza n Cynthia. They're two sisters of mine. I love them so much.
i never been there on that day and goin there is one of my greatest dream. 
i pray so hard and spent my money. i knew it wouldn't enough.
i need miracle to take me there.

About four months later, i just spent 800 USD and the trip price was 2400 USD. it just 1/3 part of. It was insane and full of risks as well. But i told God, if You want me to get there, You'll open the way no matter what and how. I want to see miracle happens.

Two weeks before the trip.
They said i'm in. OMG! i couldn't believe it! Really.....!! How come? i don't know till now. Even i don't have any cent in my pocket. i need to buy these and those. i just cried out loud. Once again i pray to God, You're already open the main gate, now it's time to open all the way. i'll see the whole MIRACLE.

A week to go.
Suddenly my aunt sent me 500 USD. Even she couldn't know about this trip.
it was surprised me and i called it the Second Miracle after.

Two days to go - Travel Briefing
i forgot to buy a lipgloss. the thing is i didn't have any time more to do that.
and you know what, someone just got back from USA and she gaves me something. when i opened....yes! LIPGLOSS! i cried out.
i called it the Third Miracle.

Miracle by miracle was comin up and i see God within.
i never expected for the worst ever.
cz i know He'll never shame on me.
even the tiny thing, He take care of me.

A day before The BIG day.
Liza said we'll not going to. i laugh. she said it once again. i'm worried.
i couldn't described it by words actually. The situation was so hard and i confused.
you know what guys, it was an awkward and hardest moment when i couldn't talk to anyone.
What the hell if the trip is really cancelled? What about people said?
How about my mom, whole family, best friends, everyone?
O My God i couldn't stand it if it really happens.
so, where are YOU, God?

i tried to gain my Faith by texting Liza and Cynthia. Hope they'll do the same thing.
They're my Faith Booster fyi. 
But we're all confused and depressed on that day.

i was pray along the night. did packing my stuff. then pray again. cried out loud. till my hands UP and said,
"God, if You want me to passed it, i will do if You're with me. And let me still come to the airport and finished my FAITH. I'll face it till the plane take off."

i finished my prayer and said.. Amen.

4 p.m.
OhLaLa Cafe, Terminal 2, Soekarno Hatta International Airport
my mom was accompanied me there. She didn't know what's the real happen. 
She met Cynthia. They both cried.
My heart cried as well but i show it off with my Big Smile on my cheek.
what an emotional condition.
i really couldn't stand it actually. but i keep SMILING.

5 p.m 

6 p.m - Check in time

7.10 p.m - TAKE OFF.
My heart was broken.
i took my bag and said good bye. i'm going home with my head down.
i couldn't hide my tears. i CRIED out loud.

i was SAD and HAPPY at the same time.
because i finished it very WELL.

and curious what did HE taughts me?
here...

"The SUCCESSFUL of your FAITH is not when you get what you're prayin about. BUT when it's even FAILED, you could still standing like a man and say, I LOVE YOU GOD whatever the circumstances."

i cried out more.
i smile in the mid of tears fall down.
what the sweetest moment i had.

Thank you Lord Jesus..
You're the BEST teacher ever.

Special thank also for Liza and Cynthia.
You both had inspired me to keep in Faith.

and here i am.
STRONGER in FAITH.

Love,
Yulia - Woman of Faith

Believe it or Not?!

Welcome Baaacckkk!!!!

after 3 months lately...i never visited my blog...my home of words...
and i promise you all that i'll keep writing...writing my experiances for these 3 months..hihi...

i don't know how to start..
but this quote maybe will be a Good Opening:
"Keep the DREAM ALIVE...Don't let it DIE!"

it's TRUE and i BELIEVE it!
why..? here's the whole stories...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five years ago...in a Mission Converence from Youth Networking, God gaves me passion for mission field. He gaves AFRICA for me. It was GREAT and mades me confused at the same time. i thought it just an ordinary feeling...young people emotion...But i promised God to keep praying until He answered the vision.

i pray for this thing about two years.
then i didn't remember again.

Last year...exactly on June 2009 (i already join Manna Project ministry), my leader Peter Kwee talked to me in a prayer meeting. He said,"We have a plan to go to South Africa next year, for a World Cup Mission Outreach...so, you need thinking hardly to make a Great Design."
I was surprised on that day. I just thought.."O God, this is my dream...go to Africa."
I talked to myself..."Yulia, you need to pray for this first before you take it so deep."

The time has gone...and God opened the way each by each...
till on February 2010...we met the wrong connection..and the project almost canceled.
you know what....i did really disappointed...:'(

a week before my birthday on the monthly meeting, i talked to the rest of the team...that i would keep praying till God answer this dream.
Peter also said that i must beg to God, praying to Heaven and keep fasting.
i took the challenge and i did it.

Feb 25th 2010 was my Bday.
i pray to God...i have 3 things as my prayer and one of those was i beg Him to open the door of South Africa and sending us a Project Manager for this project. i also wrote the criterias of him. The dateline was on March 2010.
"You need to open the way or just close it and give us a sign." i said to God.

March 2010, God really answered my prayer.
He sent us someone from Netherland, Bastian his name.
The criteria was exactly like i was pray before.
and at the same time, He opened the door of South Africa.
From Capetown, He connected us with Ps.Why and Marina. Great Person in there.
Awsome!!

April 2010,
God remind me about the vision 5 years ago. i just cried aloud. How could it be?
and a little moment that mades...i had said to my friend either in 5 years ago that i would going to South Africa 5 years later....and now i've been there, friend...

June 6th - July 6th
i was in Capetown, South AFrica for World Cup Mission Outreaches.
This is GREAT! This is what God was done in my life.
(i'll write the stories later)

Now, i'm back to Indonesia...and still didn't believe it!
DREAM DO COME TRUE!

believe it or not, God's Vision for us is ALIVE!
you just need to take the first step to BELIEVE it with your whole heart and it will become true.

This is HISTORY. This was created by God.
This is my GREAT EXPERIENCE with God, Jesus Christ.

BELIEVE IT or NOT?!

Untuk Direnungkan!!

17 Agustus 1945...
jadi hari bersejarah bagi Bangsa Indonesia...
dimana pertemuan antara golongan tua dan golongan muda..
yang menghasilkan satu Teks Proklamasi..
dan Kemerdekaan pun diDeklarasikan...

17 Agustus 2008..
63 tahun Indonesia berkarya dan berjuang u/ Merdeka di segala bidang...
tapi satu kenyataan pahit yang harus diterima..
masih banyak kejahatan, korupsi, kemiskinan, kebodohan, pengangguran, dll masih mengikat bangsa kita... Ga kebayang kan di tengah kehidupan kita yg nyaman...ternyata..
Indonesia belum Merdeka 100%!!

I Thank to God !!
Di tengah2 keadaan ini, masih ada anak2 Tuhan yang memikirkan dan berdoa buat bangsa ini...
and..Here They are...

We are from JC PRJ..
Last Sunday, qt ngadain ibadah special Freedom day..
dgn tema: We Love Indonesia...

Ibadah kali ini beda bgt, khotbah nya jg singkat..tp qt isi dgn berdoa n berseru u/ Indonesia...
qt lepaskan kata2 berkat u/ Indonesia...menangis minta belas kasihan Tuhan u/ bangsa ini...setelah itu, ada deklarasi yg dipimpin oleh Randy sbg perwakilan anak2 JC PRJ..
Ini isi deklarasi nya...

Deklarasi
Kami Berjanji
Akan Mengasihi Tuhan Yesus
dan Bangsa kami, Indonesia,
Dengan :

1.Menjadi Generasi yang Kudus,
yang Bersih tangannya dan yang Murni hatinya,
serta Benci akan Dosa.

2.Menjaga Hidup kami, sesuai dengan Standar Firman Tuhan.

3.Menjadi Terang dan Berkat dimana pun kami berada.

Dalam Nama Tuhan Yesus,
Kami serahkan Komitmen kami.
Amin!

Jakarta, 17 Agustus 2008
Ini mungkin sekedar Deklarasi semata bila hanya diucapkan...tapi ini bisa jadi Satu Pembuktian..apabila qt baca dari hati..apabila qt resapi..n qt hidupi!!
So, saat ini..
coba sama2 qt renungin..sebagai generasi muda di bangsa ini..
Bangsa qt saat ini sedang dijajah oleh kemiskinan, korupsi, narkoba, pengangguran, dll..
Yuk, qt teladanin sikap generasi muda 63 thn yg lalu...
Mereka cinta Bangsanya..
Mereka Rindu kemerdekaan seutuhnya...
dan Mereka Melakukan Tindakan!!
The Question is...
Apa TINDAKAN qt saat ini u/ nyelamatin bangsa ini dr Kehancuran?!
Apapun itu, mulailah dg Doa..
Prayer Can Changing World!!
