Confidence, Trust & Hope

Confidence, Trust and Hope

CONFIDENCE
Once, all village people decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer, all the people gathered
but only one boy came with an umbrella;
that's Confidence.

TRUST
Trust should be like the feeling of a one-year-old baby.
When you throw him in the air, he laughs...
because he knows you will catch him; that's Trust.

HOPE
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next
morning but still we make plans for the coming day; that's Hope.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE
HAVE SOME TRUST IN OTHERS
and NEVER LOSE HOPE!

Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you happiness;
Bad days give you experiences;
Both are essential to life

Trip to Jogja

Before Lebaran holidays, mom & pap took 2 days vacation for trip to Yogya.. Got very affordable tickets & hotel, so even with our hectic work, we made it... Luv you hney.. So unforgettable moments there..

'Bout the trip.... Ouuuuwh..I love this city so much.. been sooooo long since my last trip to YK... a little bit flash-back.. when I was in college, I spent bout 3-4 times a year to visit Yogya, just for refreshment or visiting friends....

This time, we stay in Santika Hotel, with Ramadhan package, so we got special price with 2x meals ..very very recommended food... Since it's only 3 days (2 nites), we don't go anywhere but Malioboro ..hehe.. went to Bringhardjo Market 2x & walked around there.. Becak was our best option for transportation back-forth hotel-malioboro.

Enjoy the pics..

Faith, Hope and Glory.. it's my promised !

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity.

Faith is raising the sail of our little boat until it is caught up in the soft winds above and picks up speed, not from anything within itself, but from the vast resources of the universe around us. ~W. Ralph Ward

If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world.

We couldn't even eat hash with safety.
~Josh Billings, His Complete Works, 1888

You don't choose your family.
They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
~Desmond Tutu

Prayer is the spirit speaking truth to Truth.
~Philip James Bailey

Deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it.

You can't pray a lie - I found that out.

~Mark Twain

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep...

Fly Away With Me, Butterfly....

The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
Over the grass in the West garden;
They hurt me. I grow older.
~Li Po

Butterfly, by Jason Mraz

---

I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night

But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your

Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you've got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all

You make the call to make my day
In you message say my name
Your talk is all the talk sister you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [2x]

You've got it all, you've got it all

Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you up side, down slide, in slide, out slide, over here
Climb in my mouth now child

Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Dammit you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
Now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you and I don't wanna lie to you
Cause I, cause I can't recall a better days
I'm coming to shine on the occasion

You're an open minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
If I'm making my own
I have my days
Let's face the fact here, it's you that's got it all

You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

Cause I can't recall a better day
I'm coming to shine on the occasion
You're a sophisticated lady, oh you've got it all

You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [3x]
You've got it all, you've got it all:.

Butterfly, baby, well you've got it all

The tulip and the butterfly
Appear in gayer coats than I:
Let me be dressed fine as I will,
Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still.

PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens

A very nice article from somebody on the net that forwarded from a friend of mine, Agatha, Tx sist !
-----------------------------------------------------------------

BERDOA SAMPAI SESUATU TERJADI

Seorang laki-laki sedang tidur di pondoknya ketika kamarnya tiba-tiba menjadi terang, dan nampaklah Sang Juru Selamat. Tuhan berkata padanya bahwa ada pekerjaan yang harus dilakukannya. Lalu Tuhan menunjukkan padanya sebuah batu besar di depan pondoknya. Tuhan menjelaskan bahwa ia harus mendorong batu itu dengan seluruh kekuatannya.

Hal ini dikerjakan laki-laki itu setiap hari. Bertahun- tahun ia bekerja sejak matahari terbit sampai terbenam, pundaknya sering menjadi kaku menahan dingin. Ia kelelahan karena mendorong dengan seluruh kemampuannya.

Setiap malam laki-laki itu kembali ke kamarnya dengan sedih dan cemas, merasa bahwa sepanjang harinya kosong dan tersia-sia. Ketika laki-laki itu mulai putus asa si Iblis pun mulai mengambil bagian untuk mengacaukan pikirannya "

Sekian lama kau telah mendorong batu itu, tetapi batu itu tidak bergeming. Apa kau ingin bunuh diri? Kau tidak akan pernah bisa memindahkannnya. " Lalu, ditunjukkannya pada laki-laki itu bahwa tugas itu sangat tidak masuk akal dan salah. Pikiran tersebut kemudian membuat laki-laki itu putus asa dan patah semangat.

"Mengapa aku harus bunuh diri seperti ini?" pikirnya. "Aku akan menyisihkan waktuku, dengan sedikit usaha, dan itu akan cukup baik." Dan itulah yang direncanakan, sampai suatu hari diputuskannya untuk berdoa dan membawa pikiran yang mengganggu itu kepada Tuhan. "Tuhan," katanya " Aku telah bekerja keras sekian lama dan melayaniMu, dengan segenap kekuatanku melakukan apa yang Kau inginkan. Tetapi sampai sekarang aku tidak dapat menggerakkan batu itu setengah milimeterpun. Mengapa? Mengapa aku gagal?"

Tuhan mendengarnya dengan penuh perhatian," Sahabatku, ketika aku memintamu untuk melayaniKu dan kau menyanggupi, Aku berkata bahwa tugasmu adalah mendorong batu itu dengan seluruh kekuatanmu seperti yang telah kau lakukan. Tapi tidak sekalipun Aku berkata bahwa kau mesti menggesernya. Tugasmu hanyalah mendorong. Dan kini kau datang padaKu dengan tenaga terkuras, berpikir bahwa kau telah gagal. Tetapi apakah benar?

Lihatlah dirimu. Lenganmu kuat dan berotot, punggungmu tegap dan coklat, tanganmu keras karena tekanan terus- menerus, dan kakimu menjadi gempal dan kuat. Sebaliknya kau telah bertumbuh banyak dan kini kemampuanmu melebihi sebelumnya. Meski kau belum menggeser batu itu. Tetapi panggilanmu adalah menurut dan mendorong dan belajar untuk setia dan percaya akan hikmatKu. Ini yang kau telah selesaikan. Aku, sahabatku, sekarang akan memindahkan batu Itu."
--------------

Terkadang, ketika kita mendengar suara Tuhan, kita cenderung menggunakan pikiran kita untuk menganalisa keinginanNya, sesungguhnya apa yang Tuhan inginkan adalah hal-hal yang sangat sederhana agar menuruti dan setia KepadaNya... .

Dengan kata lain, berlatih menggeser gunung-gunung, tetapi kita tahu bahwa Tuhan selalu ada dan Dialah yang dapat memindahkannya.

Ketika segalah sesuatu kelihatan keliru .... Lakukan P.U.S.H. !
Ketika pekerjaanmu mulai menurun.... Lakukan P.U.S.H. !
Ketika orang-orang tidak berlaku seperti yang semestinya mereka lakukan.... Lakukan P.U.S.H. !
Ketika uangmu seperti "lenyap" dan tagihan-tagihan mulai harus dibayar.... Lakukan P.U.S.H. !

PUSH = dorong !
Pray Until Something HAPPENS!!
(Berdoalah sampai sesuatu terjadi)
