Imposing God's signature?

When unpleasant things happen in life we often hear Christians say:
"I am sure it is God's will/ It must be part of His master plan/ I am sure He has specific reasons for this." It sounds comforting and theologically unharming. We use these statements so casually, don't we? But have we ever questioned: Is that really true?

Please ask this question:
Do we "blur the lines between what we know God said in His Word and what we think He might have said through our inner awareness?" Do we use God's signature without His permission?

Happy Quarter Century!










Happy 25th Birthday roommie...






kado yg bikin dompet Yohan jebolll....

Yup, kemaren b'daynya roommate gw, KheSin Khoo...

Sebagai roommate tercinta, gw, akhirnya akhirnya mutusin buat bikin surprise dinner buat dia.. salah satu highlight menu kemaren adalah:


Sup sayur asin pake tahu, ciptaan Jerry..

Padahal gw masak 4 macem: sambal udang/telor, steam fish in ginger, garlic, green union sauce, grilled asparagus, zucchini, red pepper, sama goreng daging 'pok' ciptaan nyokap gw.. tapi sayang ngga ada bukti.. nyesel dehh!!!



Yaa... berhubung banyak orang2 kreatip di Morgantown lagi kurang kerjaan, terciptalah warung heboh dadakan di rumah gw... KARAOKE ... pake laptop!!! Saking desperate-nya kita, apa pun bisa jadii... pasang speaker, mic, download lagu2 dari internet... pas deh gilanya..
Thanks to Jerry and Victor :-) It was a blast...




Coba tebak kita lagi nyanyi lagu apa?? ..............


Apa lagi kalo buka soundtrack "Meteor Garden" :P





Juara penyanyi paling antusias....

JERRY, the energizer bunny!!!




It shows u how serious and attentive we are in things that we do!
kapan mau karaoke lagi??!!! :-)

that's how our friendship began...

[One day after Sunday service]

"Pink, could you give her a ride?"

"Sure! But i need to go to Walmart first. Is that ok with you?"

"No problem!"



That's how our friendship began....



Ai Ling:



  • the fun-est gynecologist-tube-baby-specialist

  • master bread maker

  • humble, inquisitive, diligent, persistent

  • easy going, helpful, cheerful

  • slow in motion, slow in decision making

  • marriage sceptic, but didn't loose faith

  • my regular 'client' on Friday nite and Sunday morning

  • my spicy-food partner

  • my motivator, my supporter

It's amazing to recall what this 1-year-friendship has brought us.
Of course I lied when I said you won't be missed... I have nowhere else to ask trivial medical questions or eating lunch at WVU hospital after sunday service anymore :-)
But with a ring on your finger and egg-sperm lab to conquer, we all know that better things are waiting for you. Take heart and don't loose faith... His hands are powerful enough to protect and provide. Have a safe journey, sister... I MISS YOU ALREADY!


...'till we meet again in front of ChengDu hospital
