23 and blessed.

First things first, I would say thank you to my self, even though it was quite chaotic and tiresome at the start but praise God it is now ready getting a lot better and I am really grateful for all of the things I achieved so far.

The older I get I realized that everything has a season as a bible says ‘there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. This verses reminds me that everythings in our life happens for a reason and everything happen in God’s control. Sometimes God let us to another situation like “jalan buntu” or “waktu yang stagnan” just to makes us more closer to Him

I remember just how far God has brought me, and He will continue to do. I will see progress, I will find beauty, I will see His hand in everything. For I am known I am growing and He is (still) working.

The older I get, I realized sometime God speaks His greatest promises at the lowest point in our life, just to teach us about His goodness and mercy not based on our behavior, but on the fact that we are His.

Three passion, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life is: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

Happy birthday ya, Gabby. May you always have enough happiness to keep you sweet. Enough trials to keep you strong. Enough success to keep you eager. Enough faith to keep you courage; Enough determination to make each day a good day.

I still remember the day that someone said to me like “aku menyesal mengenal kamu seperti anak-anak” — dalam beberapa situasi terkadang aku merasa terintimidasi dengan ucapan itu, tetapi sekarang izinkan aku menjadikan perkataan itu sebagai bentuk evaluasi diri bukan ujaran kebencian, lagian hidup ini not based from people said to me, but God’s words to me.

When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways ( 1 Corinthians 13:11 TPT Version)

Although I am not yet the best version of myself, may greater things and new experiences embrace me henceforward.

Welcome 23! Cheers for another years of growing!
