Sharing The Miracles and My Joy

I almost forgot to share these photographs. It had been almost two years I didn't visit it. I just remembered when on February 4th, 2009 in the morning I got an email from Shutterfly, reminded me about my account that had been so long I never visited again. I was so glad at that time because my account was still available and I found all my photographs that I ever uploaded there.

This is one of my albums, My Baby that I would like to share with you when the first time I had baby. It was miracles!! Why? Let me share them below:

1. I was so stressed out when I was pregnant. It happened chemically as pregnant women ussually have it. I felt inside of my body wasn't myself, I felt other person. Maybe it was the effect of the medicine I took because I wasn't able to eat at all. If I took it lately, I would vomit. Do you believe that I ever vomit 11 times per day till it was ever only light liquid coming out from my mouth because it wasn't any food in my stomach? I was very thin and in the early of the first 3 months my weight decreased. It really scared me. I didn't look happy. There were no smile on my face. I was so confused feeling my body. It was so very strange!! If I stopped using that medicine, I could not eat and it wasn't good. But if I took that medicine, it gave me the effect like that. So I lived like that way in 6 months. When my pregnancy was 7 months old, I could start eating although just small amounts. It was better than nothing. In my 8 months pregnancy, my tummy size increased so fast. I was so glad seeing it but another problems came. Two days after christmas in 2003 suddenly my fingers could not move properly. The doctor said it was normal because it was one of the symptoms of the pregnancy woman might have. He said it would go away itself. I asked when it would and he could not give the exact answer. He said maybe several months or 1 year after birth. You know how long it went away? It was more than 2 years.

2. I had C-section finally after Doctor saw the result of my photoscan that my baby was in the diagonal position. Her head was on the up right side and her feet were on the down left side. I thought it was God's way because I remembered the doctor said to me, my baby would have big size if comparing of my size (small and thinny woman). He was right. Her head was big. My husband gave her a special call: A coconut head. Maybe it showed that her brain had big volume and this was a sign she would be a smart girl. (Yes, she is)



3. I had waterbreak just a half day before my C-section schedule. Around 2 hours before it happened, I just called my relative in Indonesia who had waterbreak in her second birth. She said it was very hurt because her baby did many contractions. She hoped me not getting it but I had it (11.30 pm) after 2 hours I called her. I was so very worried it would be very hurt like she said. At that time I just remembered HIM. I knew only HIM as my helper. I was panic but inside of my soul felt its opposite. Every movement would give more water coming out. It was dangerous because if a lot of water coming out, my baby would have dehydration and could be dead. That was why the baby would do a lot of contractions as the sign of how panic she was too. The great miracle was I DIDN'T FEEL any contractions at all. My husband and a nurse was confused because they both saw on the detector screen, the baby did movements.

After birth in the morning (Jan 25, 2004), finally I knew why God let it happened to me because in the afternoon we had snow storm and ice rain. Could you believe it? If I came in the morning-afternoon to the hospital, it could be any difficult we would face. Thank to God, He had His best way for me in delivering my baby through C-section and waterbreak. See!! God always has different ways that we might never think.

Now you can see her in the photo album (click), her Blog or her couple photographs at the bottom of this blog. She is beautiful, cute, smart, brave, friendly, independent and talented little girl. She has easy smile. I was worried at that time if my baby would be like unhappy child because of how stressed I was when I was pregnant. Even small smile was very difficult I made.

I never saw a little girl like her before. It is not because of she is my daughter but she is really like that. I am so very blessed having her. She is great gift from God in my life besides my husband and my three sweet children.

100 Years

I stunned when a guitarist at church sang this song on the stage several weeks ago before the pastor gave his sermon. I loved this song and he sang perfectly. I thought he sang much better than FfF, I really wanted to stand, sing and move my hands and body to dance following the music they played at that time.... but I still seated on my chair.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
He feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the woman, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel him too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

What do You Think about Woman?

I read Renungan Harian (Indonesia Daily Devotional) this morning. It had very interesting topic. It was about the woman as one of God's creations (Genesis 2:18-23).



Every God’s creation is unique and special. He created everything with certain and special purposes. If God created first man with His fingers through the clay of the ground (Genesis 2:7) and created woman also with His fingers through the rib that He had taken from the man (Genesis 2:22), it doesn’t mean that woman is a weak creature. Physically man and woman are absolutely different. Man is created to protect woman. That is why we could see their differences physically. Although woman is a creature that is needed to be protected by man, she also has strong abilities that man doesn't have. That is why God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.” (Gen 2:18).

Do you know that woman is very easy to cry? She cries in the happiness and sadness. She can be washed but she is not from the plastic. She has 200 parts to move and to be used for many things. She can prepare food meanwhile she is doing the laundry and watching her babies/children. She can hug once time for her children, she can hug and give the comfort to her family who have broken heart or for any accidents, she can heal herself when she is sick, she can work 18 hours per day. She is soft outside but strong inside.

What I wrote above I have experienced. If I compare how many hours I and my husband work, I work more time than him. He goes to work for 8 hours per day for five days in a week. When he goes home, he will go to sleep; watching TV, sometimes going online, sometimes watching and playing with my daughter. He likes to make sandwiches for his lunch or dinner. He cleans carpets in the certain times and cut the grass when the time comes. How about me? I work for 5 hours per day for five days in a week. Preparing food for lunch or/and dinner, sometimes breakfast for whole family. I do shopping, I do the laundry and put all the clothes to their places, I clean kitchen everyday, whole the house in the certain times, taking care of my daughter when I am in home, drive her and pick her up from her school, taking care of my plants, inside and outside, going online everyday to do my duties as Managing Editor and responsible for writing course activities everyday; watching the activities between students and mentors, and give the responds for every question; replying emails from KabarIndonesia readers, helping editing and activating the articles, answering emails everyday, writing for my projects, several medias and my blogs. I also think everyday what food I will cook for the next day, how much money do I need for this and that, etc.

Yes, I know I have spent more time everyday to work than my husband. One thing that I know that he has responsibility for his whole family as a household head. God said that woman was created to complete man needs. It means, woman is the main source to fill a man needs perfectly. Man needs woman to complete and help him in many ways, woman needs man to help and protect her.

I know everybody will have different perspectives and what I have written above is not really completed. At least we have been reminded about the differences between man and woman. If we have understood about this different principles, there will no more arguments for what man and woman have to do. Each of them will know what they have to do to make them as a suitable partner like God said.

When Writer and Reader Met

If you are a writer, your readers are very valuable. Without readers, writer is nothing.

Last Wednesday, I got a call from my online friend, Tresia from West Virginia. She told me that she and her whole family would go to Philly on Thursday and would pass my city. She would like to meet me. It was a very surprised thing, because we knew eachother since around three years ago. Since I knew my first writing was published at Gloria Cyber Ministries in July 2006, several months after that, I got an email from her who gave me a response and her nice comment to my writing although it was not really good to me after many years I didn't write. The topic was interesting but there were many words and repetations needed to be edited. Since that time we both had good friendship although it was just via internet.

We had very nice time although it was just around 2-3 hours. She is very nice person and has happy family. Her sons and her niece played together with my daughter, Little Mermaid. I saw they had fun together. Also my husband had good conversation with her husband.

I made simple lunch, red chicken soup and lavash bread with sliced beef sandiwiches with pineapple supreme as dessert.

I think their visit was a special gift for my Easter this year. Below is some photographs that I have collected from their visit.

Thank you Tresia (and family) for your very nice visit. I hope someday we can meet eachother soon.

Thank You for the Surprised Gifts

In this time I would like to make a special post as my great thank you to:

1. Mariuca's Perfume Gallery who gave a door-gift by sending 100 EC credit on April 1st, 2009. Really I didn't expect at all at that time when I wrote a comment of my wishes for their 7th Anniversary. I am so happy for both of you, Mariuca and B (her husband). May God always bless you marriage life with full of happiness.

2. BaikBear, who won the 7th Comment Contest Prize at Blognetawards.com and get 750 EC credits. Because he doesn't have a Blog so he asked Blognetawards Team to transfer the prize to my account as a gift and his support for my missions. I got this surprised note and transfer on April 4th, 2009. Thank you, BaikBear!! Your support is very greatly appreciated.

I would like to reannounce that all EC credits will go to support GFA and promote my books to support Unreached Children Program, Cystic Fibrosis and Cancer Research Program.

Thank you for your supports. Every little support and a purchase of my books will make a difference to those who are in needs. God Bless You!!!
