God Works in an Amazing and Mysterious Way

Hey there, old friend (it refers to my blog)

I am so sorry for abandoning you
It's been a long time not checking you out
I was too busy to check another things out

People say time flies so fast

This year, i feel that time had taught me so many things in life

I've learned that as a human, we will never stop learning
God wants us to whether we like it or not
Whether we realize it or not

Have you ever realized that God always works in an amazing and mysterious way in your life every single day?

This year i found that i have realized that

Sometimes God gives you trouble that seems so hard to be handled by you
It makes you cry
It makes you angry
It makes you stress out
It makes you feel lost

He gives you that not because He hates you
But if you see the blessing in disguise, He gives you strength and courage

If there is no trouble in your life, how can you see how strong you are?
If there is no tears in your life, how would you appreciate a simple laugh?
If there is no cranky face in somebody's face, how would you notice the beautiful side of a smile?
If there is no illness, how would you appreciate a health?
If there is no heart broken, how would you appreciate a love?
And if there is no dead, how would appreciate a life?

In my silence moment, i spontaneously think how amazing the way God works in my life
I'm not a saint
I'm not that religious
I just have my own way to believe and communicate with God

In my daily activity, i meet a lot of people
Same people and different people everyday

Some people come and go
Some people stay

But in each communication we make with other people, there's always an impact or value for us if you realized

Even when you go to a "warung" and buy cigarettes, the way you communicate can bring an impact in somebody's life
We never know what we will get from random people we meet everyday

I remember that i had written about "communication will take you further"
It is true

This year, i learned a lot about friendship, family value, work environment and love
I learned that God wants us to learn from every single thing we meet everyday

I learned that friendship is a priceless thing that i have to keep
It is more expensive than any jewelries or fancy cars
It's hard to find a true friend
People that accept you for the way you are
People who don't mind to tell you how sting you are when you don't take a shower but still there and hang out with you
People who laugh with you and at you but still there when you need a shoulder to cry
People who like you just the way you are and hate you at the same time but not going anywhere
People who don't mind when you leave them because you're busy taking care of your life but still there and support you when you get your heart broken

To be able to find a true friend, sometimes God gives you lots of obstacle
Sometimes, your greatest friend is someone that you used to hate the most
Sometimes, God have to take someone away from you to make you realize how precious this person as your friend
Sometimes, God gives you a painful break up just to make you see that your friends care about you and love you more than your previous partner who didn't treat you well

Not only your friends, your family too
I used to hate my family a lot last year
But this year, God gave me a lot of obstacles that lead me to them
I used to hate my brother so much
But this year?
God lead me to be closer to my brother
Surprisingly, now i can share my problems with my brother
We support each other
How come?
He basically the one that God sent to me when i was in trouble
When i thought that he would be the last person on earth who will help me out, APPARENTLY he was the first person who showed up and help me
Now i know that no matter how "un-ideal" your family is, they will always be there for you
They love you in their own way sincerely and naturally

My journey to finally realize how much i love my family whether i admit it or not is one of the most amazing journey that God gave me
God gave me so many situation that makes me so mad at them and at my life
But in the end of everything, God made me realized that i love them and need them more than i need money or other material things

I'm not saying that now i have a happy family life
I'm just saying that now i know that no matter how annoying my family is, i know i will always love them for the way they are

And how about love life?
This year was the year of my love life

I found someone that i really love
God lead me to find out what love is

How many of you who had experienced being in love?
Not just a crush, not just a fling, nor a "high school-i love you-thing"
True love

I guess we all used to say i love you easily to someone without even really sure that this is love

But this year is different

I found love
I fell in love
I love someone

The feeling that i never ever felt before

This person is an amazing person
My heart feels what my heart feels

Even though we are no longer together now
But i have a faith
This part, i can't say much

I think for this part, God still wants me to learn and be patient
But i have my own faith

I believe that God works in an amazing and mysterious way that will surprise you
In a good way

So, happy new year to everyone
Happy new year to all random people out there
Happy new year to all the true friends out there
Happy new year to all family out there
Happy new year, you... The one that always in my heart...
Happy new year me

Happy new year, God
Thank You for an amazing year and lessons
