early christmas gift

for myself! a Jasmine guitar by Takamine. i dreamed that amazon will send me a cheap guitar, like those thin wood, glossy after spray that sticks to your fingers. so i prayed a lot to god that he would give me a guitar that rise above my expectations. and He did. the guitar was beautifully light, dove finish wood, no stubs any where, the neck wasn't as high as i thought it would be (which is great) and though it'll took sometime for the guitar to take its standard tuning, i'm already loving the way Taka (his name from now own) sounds like. the strings aren't nylon (which i love) and the standard shape of the guitar is just gorgeous.

i felt like a little kid, opening that giant box in the dining room. my host auntie was looking at me like im weird. but she's happy that im extatic. she's a darling.

so, thank you Lord. i love You!

Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad...
