Resilient in Silence: Let Fear Wake You Up.

When fear takes over.
When the darkness seems revealing its power.
When the sun is not by your side.
You feel alone, rejected, unwanted.
The fear tries to shut you down.
The worries are stealing your hope.
It feels like everyone is leaving you, judging you. 
Even the person you trust the most does not trust you and choose to leave you.

What's left? who are you running to now? 

Fear. It is where depression starts. You would not understand what fear is, until you lose something or someone. Money, home, relationship, security, assurance, dignity, comfort, health, work, hope, anything.

And you would not understand what fearlessness is until you have ever experienced any fear.

Let’s think of Gethsemane for some minutes. Let’s think about the loneliness, the rejection, the fear, the betrayal, and the death, that someone has gone through. Someone, who knows exactly how it feels. Someone, who literally knows you and your pain better than anyone else on this earth. Someone, who loves you even unto death. He left His throne and kingdom for you. He is the One, who is preparing that place now for you as you finish your calling on this earth. He is Jesus from Nazareth.

What would he do if he were in your place right now? Ask this question every time fear overtakes you. What has he done in the four books of gospel, as He was still on this earth.

He already chose to love. He chose to forgive. He chose to win. So now if you’d ask Him, He would choose to love too. He would choose to forgive too. He would choose to win too.

Even though the darkness seems happy and glorious now, it won’t stay that way forever. If satan reminds you of your past, your mistakes, your sins, remind him of his future. 
Even if the darkness tries to intimidate you with the sin you’ve done, it will not be able to take the grace given by God. Not even close.

“Even though I walk through the valley of deep darkness,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
 your rod and your staff,
they comfort me” – Psalm 23,4

What is the meaning of suffering on this earth compared to the most beautiful eternal reward that has never existed on this earth?

He chose to take your place. You are His. And He is yours. If God, the King and the Maker of stars, sun and moon is by your side, every enemy will tremble. Even your fear.
Fear may not shut us down, it shall wake us up. 

Go get ready and win.

With love,

“Pergeseran perspektif dan budaya pada perkawinan adat Batak zaman sekarang khususnya di kota-kota besar”

     BAB I Pendahuluan I.1        Latar Belakang Perkawinan adalah sumbu tempat berputar seluruh hidup kemasyarakatan (Geurtjens dalam ‘Uit een vreemde wereld). Kebanyakan orang senantiasa menaruh perhatian yang besar terhadap hal-hal perkawinan sehingga perkawinan dalam beberapa suku terutama di Indonesia membuat perhelatan perkawinan yang beriringan dengan pelaksanaan adat dari suku itu sendiri. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba contohnya. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba telah mendapat stereotip atau perspektif sendiri dari kalangan masyarakat suku Batak itu sendiri maupun masyarakat suku lain, bahwa perkawinan adat Batak terkenal dengan pesta adatnya yang cukup lama dan rumit Beranjak dari tradisi upacara Batak tersebut, saya mengangkat penelitian pergeseran kebudayaan pada perkawinan adat batak Toba saat ini. Beberapa hari yang lalu tepatnya tanggal 14 Desember 2013 saya menghadiri sebuah perhelatan perkawinan adat Batak Toba di dae...

… do it all for the glory of…me?

  What is the first thing we think and do when we wake up in the morning? What do we desire the most? What worries us the most? What is our greatest fear? What makes us very sad? What makes us very happy? All the questions above can help us find out who or what we worship every day. For we humans are worshipping beings. There is always something we desire the most. Either ourselves, our money, our career, our study, or even our relationship with another human. All these temporal things fill our lives every day. Well is it wrong to do this stuff? No. We may and must do that, even anything! But...  “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.  “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive”                                                          ...

Is there any light in the darkest valley?

It was Sunday and quite cloudy. It was still 4:30 p.m. but already getting dark.   I decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air, hoping that my cold and headache would get better. At first, I wasn't so sure to do that, because it started to windy too. 80% could be rained on in a few minutes, and still, I kept going outside. After that scar on August 2021, I avoid listening to music while I walk. Instead, I prefer listening to podcasts. This helped me at least to stop focusing on the pain. The sermons keep "cleansing" and "preparing" me for everything ahead, including His plan in this uncertain world. And I am very thankful for that.  The podcast I listened was the very first Arche Jugend podcast this year. It was about the grace of God in connection with His justice (Psalm 103). One of the messages was: *"Imagine standing alone before a hungry lion with no weapons or anything to save you from it. You will become directly afraid of being attacked and eat...
