Be it unto me

Be it unto me, according to your Word.
According to your promises, I can stand secure.
Carve upon my heart, the truth that sets me free.
According to your Word O Lord, be it unto me.

- Don Moen, Be it unto me

Blog post written in melancholy

Over an anxious heart who want to rush answers and solution,

When God says the otherwise.

A song remembered in the middle of selfishness,

Reminding me who is God,

And who we are.

Be it unto me.

Farewell

This post is dedicated to our staffworker in FES-IM (Fellowship of Evangelical Students - Indonesian Ministry), Mr. Petrus Budi Setiawan, a.k.a. Kak Pet.

Thanks for your faithfullness in the student ministry for (formally) more than 5 years (if we count the informal period, it would be even more). You have been a blessings to numerous Indonesian, foreign and local students alike.

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

- Michael W. Smith, Friends

Isaiah 50:4-9

This is the readings for my quiet time a while back. It reminds me on our calling as His disciples, ministering others, hearing His words, standing firm in His promise, and stay focused, because He is faithful.

Let the passage speak about itself. Let him "awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught." I hope that it will become a blessing in your life =)

The Lord GOD has given me
the tongue of those who are taught,

that I may know how to sustain
with a word him who is weary.

Morning by morning he awakens;
he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

The Lord GOD has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward.

I gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;

I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting. 


But the Lord GOD helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;

therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?

Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.

Behold, the Lord GOD helps me;
who will declare me guilty?

Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.

Snapshot from NTU-ISCF AGM

Just for fun and for your information.. haha

Last Friday we had our NTU-ISCF Annual General Meeting. It lasted for 12 hours, not record breaking yet.. Some notable things happened, but not to the extend of having the moderators vote to decide.. (ah... sweet memories..)

Aaaaanyway... the statistics can be seen through here

This is the video captured the moment before Irving became the new President..

And this.. is the moment where Wawan became the new General Secretary..

Two years ago I was standing there.. two AGMs has passed and time really does fly I guess.. =)

Aaanywayy... We decided on the yearly goal for NTU-ISCF as well -

"Menciptakan budaya untuk memperlengkapi dan memobilisasi
pelajar kristen untuk mengabarkan injil di kampus"

A loose translation to it will be: "To create a culture for equipping and mobilizing Christian students for campus evangelization". Long story short, we want to create a basic foundation for future works in evangelization in NTU-ISCF.

I wont post the quotes of the day now... it deserves to be posted in another, exclusive post.. haha.. But let me close this post with a song from one of our friend who saw the fact and made it a funny song..

"Dua anak ayam... mimpin ISCF...

Dua anak ayam-Irving Wawan-cari exco-bawa jiwa.. mimpin ISCF"

Sing that lyric with the tune used in "satu anak Tuhan pergi skolah minggu".. LOL..

Selamat melayani buat Irving dan Wawan.. =)

(for you who have guessed... Irving is the same guy who helped me in my FYP as a model for my sample video.. see my previous post on my FYP haha.. btw.. my presentation today went fine.. thanks for all your support! ^^~)

Let there be light!
