Sabbath

We had wonderful Sabbath in church. Youth from Japan made a special program, with singing and witnessing. "Where was God when terrible tsunami came?" were many asking... Speaker made conclusion that God had still everything under control, He was still there. Satan’s plan of temptation is always the same. While everything moves prosperously, people think that they have faith. But when suffering, disaster, or disappointment comes, they lose heart. A faith that is dependent on circumstances or surroundings, that lives only when everything goes smoothly, is not a genuine faith. {CTr 107.4}

For nations as well as for individuals, the path of obedience to God is the path of safety and happiness, while that of transgression leads only to disaster and defeat. {CC 145.6}

After church we enjoyed the nature.

Are you burdened, anxious,...?

And he who seeks to give light to others will himself be blessed. "There shall be showers of blessing." He that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25

Humble your

selves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on him, for He cares about you. Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world. (1 Peter 5:6-9)

Our life can be burdensome if we think and contemplate much what others think and say about our life.

Be satisfied, thankful and happy where you are, who you are, what you do. You are created to be a blessing to others, and be blessed by others...there is no coinsidence with God.

Remember the Bible verse...Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O lord, my strength, and my Redeemer. Psalms 19:14

Restaurant opening

Eve is now ready to go to Germany for medical missionary training. Friends and relatives poured her over with flour, eggs, water balloons as a custom for saying good bye. Poor girl, she had to wash her hairs twise to get rid of egg smell...but good thing is that eggs are nourishing for the hairs, makes them shiny and strong.

Green paste consists of rice flour, starch. This will be mixed with cocoonut drink. I tasted today the drink and it was really good. Lots of ice inside.

Hermanto and Nellia opened restaurant just behind our clinic. I helped with Eve and Sanessa to cut bitter melon.

First day relatives and friends enjoyed the food for free.
