Thoughts, Dreams, and Emotions…

I Got a New Look!
Yesterday I went to barbershop and trimmed my front hair :p Just want to have a new look. Why? Maybe because I am so depressed these couples of weeks, makes me feels want to have a new breath, new power, and I thought if I got a new look, my mood wont fall that far anymore :p Everyone got amazed this morning at the clinic, hahahaha.. :D Some says great haircut, some says nice one, some says that i look a like a character in a japanese comic hehehe.. It helps too, not because all the comments, it really helps me get into the mood.
One thing makes me get into the mood too, one of my problems in the clinic is solved!! Thanks to God! Finally.., and I hope this moment will last until finish.
I thought about how sometimes life�s problems, trials and tests can be so overwhelming. We often feel like we need to come up for air just to be able to breathe. The bottom of the pool would be an adequate way to explain how lost and lonely the way gets some days. Yet, no matter how deep our struggles, or how far away we roam, it is never too late to return to the Lord. God is always waiting with outstretched arms for you �to make a new breath� and a new life in Him.

Why Are These Delays??
Still talking about AFI, Cindy and her fail on the way to the victory of the competition. Last nite I was chatting with my sister. She also a fan of Cindy. She said that it is okay if Cindy failed now. Because the popularity cannot compared with the quality. Everyone know that in the music business, Cindy’s quality is not doubted anymore. But in life, there’s always some delays. All Cindy Guardians (this is what Cindy’s fans called) already show their supports and prayer. It’s not an unanswered prayer, or failed to victory. It just a delay to victory.
I asked why there’s always a delay in a pathway? My sister opened me the Holy Book and pointed to a verse “If all results were instant, we could never walk in faith. Without faith, we could never please God. (Hebrews 11:6)”. It opened my eyes. Those questions.., why are prayers not all answered instantly? Why don’t we always experience the blessings promised in the Bible immediately?
If you always reaped the harvest of your deeds immediately, the incentive to do right and refrain from wrongdoing would only be selfish. No faith, or love for God, would be required. During delays we have opportunity to demonstrate whether we really love God, and trust Him, or not.
A delay is a test. Without testing, there could be no reward. God does not test us so that we can fail, but so that we can overcome. He believes we will make it with His help. We desire an instant manifestation of victory. What God desires is for us to press into Him and His Word and walk in faith until we see victory.
To overcome there must be opposition and struggle. God cannot always shield us from problems without taking away from us the privilege of overcoming.
Victory is sweet. What makes it sweet is that it is not easy.
If we really trust God, time is not a problem. Leave that with God. His timing is perfect and He is dependable! We know He promised, and can never fail — and that is enough.

Missed Opportunities…
I’m so disaapointed on Saturday night. I watch AFI (one of the popularity and singing contest in Indonesia, taken from La Academia – Mexico) on Indosiar. In that program, Princess Cindy (that’s how Cindy’s fans called her) was eliminated! She was eliminated in a little range of percent! Grrmmbl.. :( I like to see her still singing and fight. I like Cindy because she’s the one who make progress each week, from nothing to something! Different with Tia, Micky, Nia, or Adit who already have many experiences in singing and performing. And that nite I really proud of her. She was very tough! She didnt cry much, and she gives many encouraging words to her friends. She is so incredible!
Well Cindy, do not worry of the elimination, it just one step ahead to enter the big world of star :) You just missed one opportunity to win the contest. Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available.
The same thing is also true of opportunities to serve God. God often opens doors for us � opportunities to speak up for Him, opportunities to minister to someone who is hurting or in need, opportunities to make an influence on the world around us. If we allow them to pass by (perhaps because we are waiting for something easier to come along), we may miss out on them altogether.
Continue praying, keeping alert, and always thanking God. Also pray for us that God will give us an opportunity to tell people his message. (Colossians 4:2-3a NCV)
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)
May you take advantage of the doors God opens for you this day!

The Day After Tomorrow.. Who Knows?
This afternoon I went to the movie theatre. I watched The Day After Tomorrow. It was a really incredible movie I ever seen. So fantastic, great!
This movie takes a big-budget, special-effects-filled look at what the world would look like if the greenhouse effect and global warming continued at such levels that they resulted in worldwide catastrophe and disaster, including multiple hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes (I don’t quite get the science of that one), tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age. At the center of the story is a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies the ways weather patterns changed in the past), Professor Adrian Hall (Quaid), who tries to save the world from the effects of global warming while also trying to get to his son, Sam (Gyllenhaal), who was in New York City as part of a scholastic competition, when the city was overwhelmed by the chilling beginnings of the new Ice Age. In addition to all of the other challenges Dr. Hall faces, he’s also going against the flow as humanity races south to warmer climes, and he’s nearly the only one going north…
The point of the movie is it will happen if we dont start to prepare. Always preparing for anything. Many people dying because the lack of prepare.
Have you ever noticed how much time we spend preparing? You are
receiving this article because I am preparing to write it. All day long I have been preparing to write this article in my mind long before I put my fingers to the keyboard. In a few minutes, we will be preparing for dinner. A little while after that, we will prepare to go to bed. During the time we are sleeping, we will be preparing for the coming day. Then, as the day begins, we will be preparing for the rest of the day and probably spend some time preparing for what is going to happen tomorrow. It seems that I am always preparing.
Teachers spend most of the semester preparing their students for the final exam that comes at the end of the semester. Students spend considerable time every semester preparing for those same exams.
Employers spend large amounts of time and sums of money preparing their employees for the job they have been hired to perform. Workshops, seminars, and training sessions are designed to help prepare workers to be better workers.
Coaches work late into the night viewing tapes, and reviewing last week’s stats in preparation for the next game. Players work to correct their mistakes, improve on the fundamentals to enhance their performance in the next game. Fans become armchair quarterbacks, coaching experts and offer suggestions on how next game can be better than the last.
I have now spent six paragraphs preparing for what I really want to say. With so much time spent in preparation, when do we get on with what we are here to do? When will teachers and students enjoy being in school? When will work become fulfilling and enjoyable? When will a sport be just a game?
Preparation is necessary and wise. It is foolish to tackle a project without proper preparation. But eventually, the preparation must end. Remember that God reached the point when He said, “It is time.” At the end of the gospels He told them, “Go.” Eventually we must get on with the work. Eventually preparation time is over.
Maybe it’s time.

Life Goes On, Baby..
Na na na na na Life Goes On, na na na na na make me strong
Oooh yeah, Got a feeling that I can’t go back
This noon after working hard at clinic, I went for lunch with my friends. Ija, one of my friend who married a couple of weeks ago!! She just back from her sweet honeymoon at the Bali. Her husband is on duty now at Jakarta so she got to back here and continue her clinic-time. Then she told us all her experiences and .. you know, girls talk! :)
Then we talked about each of our relationships with our boyfriends. I talked about my kidy who went to Shanghai for SunNetwork Conference 2004. About how many sms he sent me. It was amazing, coz when he was in Indonesia, he never send me sms so repeatedly :p Then suddenly one of my friend, Wati, feels so bad mood. I guess she still have the pain because of her breakup after 7 years of loving :(
Come on life is still goes on…! Then I remembered a song from LeAnn Rimes titled “Life Goes On”..

“…Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can’t go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I’m at, its my life before me, got this feeling that I can’t go back
Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na make me strong
Oooh yeah, got a feeling that I can’t go back
Life goes on (and its only gonna make me strong)
Life goes on and on and on
Shame on you if you fool me once,
Shame on me if you fool me twice
But you’ve been a pretty hard case to crack
I should’ve known better but I didn’t and I can’t go back…”

Come on girl, life is still goes on, everything is still run along. No one stop just because you stop. So, that’s life, hurt but flows..
“Life is not for the faint of heart.”
I have no clue who said that. I’m sure some of you will remind me and that your answers will be different! The truth is often repeated.
However, I am thankful that God has given us the Bible to speak truthfully to us about life’s adventures. It doesn’t pull any punches. It doesn’t try to soft-pedal the truth. Life is hard. A simple reading of the Bible’s story reminds of this. The beauty of this tough and true-to-life story of God is that it can speak to us today — right into the middle of our tough world with all its twists, turns, stops, and starts.
At many junctures in our journey through life, we find ourselves traveling into new territory. Move to a new town, a new church, and a new challenge. Iis the challenge of the new territory that graduation or a marriage brings — that’s an exciting journey into new territory. The new territory is a more terrifying terrain — life after a divorce, the death of a loved one, a horrible or debilitating illness, the loss of a job, the break up of an engagement …. and on and on we could go.
Does all this sound too simple or na�ve? Does it seem like church talk? Probably, except these words carried a bunch of nomads to possess a land that God had promised to them … a land filled with giants and enemies and fortified cities … a land that was their new territory .. a land that became their new home :)

Me, Life, and You
It’s easy to find, just follow your heart baby
Hi all.. yes it’s me again, Rara. Now with the new face of blogsite :) Anyway still the same colour, but different style :p~* Why I keep using this colour?? Because this is my favorite colour. Blue and black! Black and blue! Hahaha whateva lah~~… Well i got a fave song for today. I copied some videoclips from kidy a few weeks ago when he was here. Then last night I watched them and then I stuck on Jewel’s song named Intuition. Really nice song! Here it is..

Jewel – Intuition
I’m just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J’s big butt is boss
Kate Moss can’t find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad
It’s not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan
#Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
It’s easy to find
Just follow your heart baby
You look at me
but you’re not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen
If you want me let me know
I promise I won’t say no
You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin. Just cash in
You got something that you want me to tell
You’ll love me. Wait and see.
If you want me
Don’t play games
I promise
It won’t be in vain
Uh-uh-uh

You know why i like this song? Because it is a reality. Reality in a real life. In your life you must follow your intuition, and life goes on.. Whether you like it or not but that’s your life, you are the one who will walk on the path, so whatever you do and what ever you choose when questions get into your mind, just follow your heart, your intuition and it will lead you in the right direction..
You are the one that decide your life! Not other people, not horoscope, not astrology, not the creepy witch, or whatever you said.
It is just YOU and YOUR LIFE! :)
