1000 Faces..1 Complex Mind

Ahh..ngga terasa udah tahun baru lagi..udah 2008 dan sekarang udah memasuki minggu keempat di tahun ini! It’s just such a mixed feeling to go through this "old & new" situation.

..

Gue baca postingan gue di awal tahun 2007 dan 2006..sekedar flash back untuk mengingat apa yang gue pikirin di saat2 tersebut. What I found was some surprises while reading my own writings..trying to remember what exactly I went through those periods. Then I came to a point where I feel that.. up to this time I have been through some mental and spiritual exercises. It wasn’t easy..not at all..but God has been very kind in disciplined me with His love. Yes..He put me through many life "trainings"…work wise, relationship matters (family, love life, friends), and dealing with my self.

..

Yes, so many lessons I did learn in 2007. Kegagalan, kesombongan, kemalasan campur aduk dengan kemenangan, kerendahhatian, kedisiplinan. Kemauan untuk bersyukur dan berterimakasih yang kadang tak bisa terucap/terlaksana kala ketidakpuasan menyelimuti pikiran. Kegiatan-kegiatan baru yang membawa gue lebih deket ke Tuhan (thank you bro and sis..I know you read this) dan at the same time membawa gue mengenal diri gue dengan lebih baik. This is very important..karena ketakutan/ketidaksiapan sebenarnya
timbul karena ketidaktahuan kita yang kadang timbul hanyalah
karena kekeraskepalaan kita untuk tidak mau tahu. Otsukaresama deshita..

..

And now..as days in 2008 starts passing by..one by one..and soon weeks by weeks..I feel I’m more ready to face this new year compared to prior years. Tidak ada yang berkurang dari sisi tantangan..malah mungkin tahun ini akan lebih banyak hal yang harus gue hadapi..tapi satu hal yang berubah..satu hal yang sebenarnya adalah yang terpenting dan telah gue sebut di atas: my faith on God which leads to pengenalan gue atas diri gue sendiri. I guess I start to realize akan apa yang penting dan harus dikerjakan dalam hidup gue.

..

I don’t want to get into too much details of how I’m going to go through 2008..but one thing for sure, I will use the following verses from book of Matthew as the theme:

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:33-34

I’m sure 2008 is going to be a very wonderful year And let all who believe says it together: AMEN!!!

..

Happy new year 2008, my friends..I wish you all the best and happiness in sailing your sea of life this year!!!
