Learning To Have Faith from Seven Years Old Girl

Last Sunday I got a surprise from my daughter's Sunday School teacher, Sandy. She asked me if she had a brother who just got lung replacement. I wondered how she knew it. Then she told me when she asked the children if they had their own faith story, they should raise their hands. My daughter was the one of some children who raised their hands. She told about her brother who just got lung replacement and her visiting to Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania several weeks ago. She prayed and had faith that her brother would get better soon. Sandy was amazed that she knew what the faith was when she was still seven years old. And I'm as her mom, of course, I'm so proud of her and thank God that she grows well with her faith.

Sometimes we need to learn from a little child how we put our faith in God. It's not only from what we express through what we say in our prayer only but in our action, too.

Below I just want to share several pictures and videos when they both were having fun together last summer in the glades in MA; playing chest together and he taught her how to play guitar.

Yes, I also have faith that someday they both will have fun soon as they spent time last summer together. (*)

I'm Back

Hello everyone,

What a long absence to blog. My mind had been so full with the thoughts I really would like to express in writing and blogging but I had to be patient. Then I was thinking, I needed to take long break to refresh my mind and soul.

Everything is fine with me and family. My son condition improves day by day. He is able to breath with his owns and they have moved him from ICU to regular room already. My daily activities keep busy but I always enjoy everything I do although almost every night I feel tired after returning from long work. Blogging is one of the tools to relax my mind and also can interact with all of you, bloggers or non bloggers. Since I have two different jobs, online tasks and taking care of the household needs, I think I'm not able to blog frequently but am sure I will visit yours when I have more time.

The online writing course for Indonesians had been done well in June. If you missed it, don't worry. The end of this year or early next year, the 4th general class and 2nd fiction class registration would be opened again. If you don't want to miss it, please, subscribe to this blog or be fans to KabarIndonesia page in Facebook or you also may register as a new citizen journalist there so you will get an updated news about those upcoming classes automatically.

Other exciting news is waiting for Enthusiasm publication in Indonesian version. In May, I got a news that they needed to change all conversations in English to Indonesian so I let their editor doing it and last week I heard that they had meeting with her/him. Now I'm waiting their next news. I wrote to their ex-General Manager that many Indonesians are waiting now. If you cannot wait and are interested to read it in English version, please, visit Amazon and you will get FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 (for US customer only).I have new readers who have surprised me. They came from an old friend in California and an US blogger. They have been enjoyed reading it. My friend said that she could not put it down and my book is one of two books she had to read in this year. That was a great compliment and appreciation she gave. She said she had learned two things from my book. They were about persistence and determination. My book also is being read by an Amish woman whom my husband takes care of her two sons. He gave my book as a present to her. I wonder what she would tell after reading the whole story. If you've had Enthusiasm already, it would be good to read during this summer, especially when you are having vacation, and please be free to let me know your thought after reading it.

Well, I think I should go now. I need to cook before getting ready for work. See you soon for other exciting news in the next following weeks. Btw, I attach a new picture on the right above of this post. It was a special present from KabarIndonesia owner several months ago for getting my Enthusiasm published in Indonesia. Awesome!***
