When u give, give to the Lord! :)

Sunday,26 April 2009

Its been a long time since the last time i saw him playing keyboard at the church,
well, he still doing ministry every week such as lighting controller, and cleaning the church after services. but playing keyboard is his ministry since he was a kid.

He took a break from keyboard ministry due to other commitments he has.
but last sunday, a friend of mine asked him to play keyboard again, and i said Yes, my hubby can play this sun!

because usually he do the lighting, and now he was playing keyboard, NO ONE do the lighting! and Thank God im not singing that day....so i can replace him doing the lighting. Not bad!

I sat at the back, and i was so happy to see him playing keyboard again on the altar.
i think i started fallin in love with him for the.....times.
i Thank God to have such a Man of God like him, who love & obey God. I thank God he's not a sweet talker man yet he just do the actions, I thank God He's not a Facebook maniac like a girl hahah otherwise He just wasting his time & produce nothing!, instead he Learn new skill and things in his spare time....(Thank God!):P

I know a lot of us facing tough life at the moment, especially with the crisis these days. well me too. :)

we're facing "tough times" lately. but one thing i always said to my husband, We might having a difficult times, but DONT let US LOSE OUR joyfullness, Dont let the devil take away our JOY! we have to remember we have a Big God who's bigger than our problem. And we believe God let this happened to us because He wanna change our characters.

Petrus Agung said: What makes us diffrent with other ppl? not because our house, our car, our clothes. but the way we live our life (with God) everyday! that makes us diffrent with other ppl.

"The most important thing is not the END RESULT, but the PROCESS it self" God's not interested with end result but He interested to shape our characters day by day.

Its too easy for God to give what we want, or what we asked for, in a split seconds He can gives to us. but it doesnt shape our characters.

Me & my husband, we feel that God shape our characters tremendously! hehe especially in finance area. u know sumtimes we just being so greedy and we think Our money IS OUR MONEY, not YOURS GOD! but the fact is, All that we have is belong to Him, and we are just a stewards.

all i know, He really wants to streched us until we can think "hey money, ur not a big thing for me! and when God ask for our money, we can EASILY & JOYFULLY give to God whatever, whenever and whichever the circumstance are. no need to think twice.

alrite, my husband is the one who usually or oftenly sensitife with God's voice. He often said to me "hey beb, i think we have to give to church, to this person etc2"
and i always always answer him "Ok if You sure that it is GOd voice, just do it"

until this Kingdom Builder thing in our church! Our pastor start a Kingdom builder sermons few weeks before D day we make an offering to God.

and one day my husband told me: "i think God wants us to give him $ ***! (and i said: WHAT???!@#$$) ARE YOU SURE IS THAT GOD VOICE? because The amount that He asked is UNBELIEVEBLE for us! its beyond beyond our Logic. if we think with our HUman logic, we cant give that much money, WE JUST CANT! even if we give half of it still doesnt make sense! its 7 times from average ppl give.

but on that day in the sermon, Our pastor said that FAITH is if you doin sumthin that really streched you. otherwise if you give sumthing that still in your limit, you dont need FAITH to do that.

mhm...i said alrite let us just pray first. we have to really2 pray! well i dont mind to give if thats really2 GOD VOICE coz i believe He will provide, but im afraid if thats only his human voice which has wrong motivation to give.

everyone Has told the amount to the church how much they will give.. but we need extra time before we tell them. we pray pray and pray, ask confirmations. and finally, one day before D DAY, we sent msg to finance team, By faith we will give $*** every month. my heart still *campur aduk*

The next day in church, when we were about to give, i cried. this is the 1st time i cried when give the offering (faith promise) it is true what the bible said: when you sow with your tears, you will reap joyfully. i belive that.

day by day walking with Him, Thank God for my husband, a leader in my house who lead us every nite with bible reading and prayer.

My HUMAN THOUGHT: How can i pay for Kingdom builder??! we still need to pay this and that, feel like impossible. but HEY!

OUR GOD THOUGHT: If you have a good & right Characters, Characters that I want you to be, DONT WORRY I WILL GIVE & PROVIDE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

thats true... somehow HE just provide us with anything....and we can finally pay our faith promise!! amazingg...!

When we seek Him first, Do good & right things, He will provide! :)

Facts: He send me more clientss to Renzhair, Suddenly someone offered Mike a job :D and...i believe His blessings for us still to be continued. :D

-Me,loved, content, and Joyful because of You-
