The Loyal Wedding

Beautiful ! I’m so happy today. I have just attended my friend wedding celebration. I still can not believe if my friend when I was in primary school has married. She was my friend to play hide and seek in the past.
The loyal wedding. Talking about wedding, is talking about commitment. Two persons from different gender and character agree to have commitment to live together.

Wedding / marriage is a sacred thing, because it is once in a lifetime. It is important to know well the characters of your beloved one, so you will not shock after married. “Be careful to search a soulmate because your soulmate will influence you emotionally and physically,” said a person.

“You both have agreed to live together. No matter how handsome, beautiful, rich, kind, success, smart the woman or man out there; she/he is the only one you see.” The Pastor in my church always says it when he is doing pre - wedding counseling. I agree to my Pastor because everywhere we go, we will find the people who are more handsome, beautiful, success, smarter and richer than us.

I Praise You

Lord...
I give thanks for your unfailing love
Even in times of trouble,
You are still there, holding me

When my knees trembled...
And nothing i can do
You are God who always gives me strength
So i can stand and walk through my days

When i feel pain in my flesh and bone
I call on you....

This is me God
I give thanks for all things happen in my life
You deliver me from the bad days

Amen

INDONESIANS ARE LAZY???

About a year ago, I met an English man who engaged to Indonesian woman. This man is an entrepreneur. I had some chances to talk to him.

He said he was amazed with the beauty of Indonesia. But, suddenly his words shocked me. He said “Indonesians are lazy!”

“Sorry, “ I asked him to repeat his words for I want to make sure if I had heard the wrong thing or no.

“Indonesians are lazy,” he said, striking the point.

“Why did you said that?”

“Yes, after the Dutch step away from Indonesia. You don’t have many progress. You just sit and watch! Don’t you know, you have so many beautiful places and much natural resources, but you are still living under prosperity.”

In a hand I agree to the man statement. But, in the other hand, I don’t. When I remember the success persons in Indonesia and in abroad, I don’t agree to this statement.

Indonesian President have a difficult job.He has to change ‘the mind set’ of over 200 million people who live in thousands island, with thousands language, and thousand character, culture and tradition. It is not easy to unite the thousands island to become one. I think Mr. President  himself will take ‘ a deep breath’ if he has a chance to lead this country.

Go back to the english man. I pay attention to the woman he choose.

“Darling, this is your coffee,” said the woman.

“Let me make the rice for you,” offered the woman again.

In my head, if you think Indonesians are lazy, why do you want to spend your life with Indonesian woman.
