O Come to the Altar

O Come to the Altar
by Elevation Worship

Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Oh what a savior
Isn't He wonderful?
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen

Oh what a savior
Isn't He wonderful?
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you found

Harusnya jadi "Postingan Awal Tahun"

Ga kerasa waktu bergulir, tau2 udah mau mid januari.. Padahal gw belom sempet merenung ttg 2017, belom sempet bikin resolusi utk 2018.. Berasa kebawa sama arus wkt yg bergerak cepat..

Tapi untungggg aja, ada komunitas gereja en SK plus skolahan E yg sangat menjaga gw jadi ga jauh2 menyimpang dr Tuhan en tetep jaga spiritual fitness gw..

So.. Sedikit review ke akhir 2017, sebenernya gw agak pesimis soal 2018, ga seoptimis pendeta2 gw yg themenya adl TOGETHER GLORIOUS.. Belom lagi bulan2 terakhir 2017, gw diserang sama morning sickness.. So, makin lemes en ga semangat.. Tapi thank God utk opportunity bisa road trip ke Jogja bareng sama Momentous Tour (which terdiri dr 11 family and 9 mobil), gw bisa cukup having fun di akhir taon... And finally, at the end of the day, im able to testify that God is really really good..

Now, menginjak 2018.. Awalnya agak ga semangat.. Rasanya ya gitu2 aja.. Just another routine.. Not looking forward to all the busyness in life.. Skolah dah mulai lagi, kerjaan dah mulai, musti mikirin menu en belanjaan lagi, urusan meeting2 coach, urusan pelayan, urusan tugas anak, tugas SK, KTB GKGW, dst dst.. Utk sesaat, gw sempet overwhelm loh!!
Rasanya "arrghhhh!!! Give a break!!".. Baru aja berasa refresh abis liburan, lgs puff ilang gitu aja relaxnya.. Tiba2 tense lagi..

But again, im thankful for my church...
Tgl 2-22jan ini, the whole church ada doa puasa di awal tahun (as usual).. Jujur gw agak males kali ini.. Mo baca devonya aja, udah males bgt.. Somehow terlibat di pembuatan icare manna kmrn itu bikin gw mual sama yg namanya Alkitab en renungan.. Haduhh bahaya banget yaaa..
Tapi, akhirnya gw coba paksa diri gw utk baca...

Thank God banget skali lagi ada Eureka.. Ada Eunike (SK), ada IFGF...
Krn dr SK gw dapet ttg biarkan Tuhan semakin besar en gw yg semakin kecil..
Ehhh di IFGF juga bahasnya sama.. En makin diperjelas dg, letting God's plan to work in my life, not trying to control my own life and let God take control so His glory will be shown thru my life..
Di skolah juga diingetin ttg tanggung jawab ortu utk disciple anak..
Jujur, pas liburan, gw dah kendor bgt.. Ga gw monitor jg dy ntn apa.. He behave semau2 dia..
Tapi beneran, skali lagi, gw bener2 bersyukur utk komunitas2 ini yg selalu ingetin, jaga gw, en bantu kasi gw arahan..

So, resolusi tahun 2018 adalah...
Mendekatkan diri pada Tuhan, belajar lebih peka lagi, biar bener2 rencana Dia yg jadi, bukan rencana gw..
Oiya, trus gw dikasi ayat ini mulu..

Yesaya 41:10
"janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau, janganlah bimbang, sebab Aku ini Allahmu; Aku akan meneguhkan, bahkan akan menolong engkau; Aku akan memegang engkau dengan tangan kanan-Ku yang membawa kemenangan."

So, let it be my ayat pegangan utk tahun ini... He knows im afraid and uncertain of the future.. But when my heavenly father assure me that i need not tobe afraid coz He's with me, coz He himself will help me and hold me with His own victorious hand! What a beautiful and encouraging promise!!

What a great way to start 2018, dont u think?! ;)

E ngompol lagi!!

Tadi malam E ngompol..
Dia sempat bangunin bilang mau pipis jam stengah 12 malam, tapi diajak jalan ke toilet, ehh malah nangis dan rewel.. Akhirnya malah gw marahin... En krn gw sendiri masi ngantuk, ujung2nya gw ketiduran ditengah2 rajukannya dia..
Kata suami sih ada nangis 1 jam, ga ada yg ladenin.. Krn asumsi kita, elo kan udah gede, jalan sendiri donk... Emangnya masi bayi, ga bilang mau apa.. Udah dibilang mo ditemenin, ehhh malah dy mandek di pojok kasur en malah akhirnya gegulingan sendiri.. Tp setelah nangis2 gt, dy diem en ketiduran sendiri.. Kyknya bener2 kecapekan sih.. Soalnya brgkt skolah pagi, tp tdrnya malem en ga tdr siang.. Lengkap lah sudah!

Oh another thing yg bikin dia nangis kesel penuh emosi adl, dia paling ga suka klo tidur sendirian di kasur dia.. Apalagi klo tdrnya ditemenin, eh pas bangun sendirian.. Gitu lohh.. Jd gw stengah ngerasa bersalah tp bercampur jg dengan kesal..

Lalu jam 4an subuh, dy ngomong "E mau bobo sama mama di bawah", trus lgs gw turutin, krn dia udah berhasil ngomong tanpa pake nangis en mewek2..
Ehhh.. Ternyata, celana dia dah basah lembab2 gt donk... Gw yakin ini bukan baru ngompol, soalnya udah dingin..
Ya ampunnn!! Jd rasa bersalah double.. Jadi dia semalem nangis2 en ga mo beranjak dr pojokan tuh krn dy dah kebelet bgt, tp dy ngompol en ga berani blg, or too tired to tell.. Nangis2 krn ga nyaman, terus sampe ketiduran sendiri... Huaahhh!! Rasanya kyk ibu yg kejam banget.. Anak gw biarin tidur kedinginan tanpa selimut, sendirian, dg celana yg basah, nangis jg gw cuekin pula.. Malah ditinggal tdr..

Tapi pembelaan gw, dia kan dah bisa ngomong, knp ga bilang?!
Kan udah bukan baby lagi...
Gpp, jd ortu hrs bisa tough love.. Klo dia dikit2 nangis aja gw dah samperin, lama2 jd manja..

Tapi yahhh dillemaaa!! T_T

Ihikkk.. Jd skrg, gw pny pe-er ganti sprei en keringin kasur deh.. Huhuhu.. Dijamin bau pesing.. :(

Oh well, at least gw berhasil bikin dia ngomong jam 4am.. Hehe..
Suatu keberhasilan kecil yg perlu di celebrate..
