happy birthday

For giving me the best,
for being so patient with this selfish,
doubtful, almost two-minded girl of yours,
for choosing me despite all that, and still loving me,

for making the last 19 years of my life worth living
for always being there when needed
and even so when i thought i didn't need you

for guiding me and loving me
for keeping me on track
and cheering me on

for rebuking me
and yet again, being so patient, forgiving me
for holding me
when i feel worthless

for smiling when i said all these
for saying that you love me more than i could ever, ever, imagine
for creating me so fearfully and wonderfully...

oh, Lord, for being who you've always been
for being the same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

thank you, thank you
for bringing me into your family
since the very beginning...
for dying on the cross for me
and for working in me like never before.

i couldn't get enough of you, father. i need you more and more.
you are, surely, better than drugs.

i love you, jesus.





On the other end:

mars to johanna,
mars to code name mortal j.156
earthling, this is mars speaking
please remain on earth
as we are not ready
to host your presence on our planet
until due notice.

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. 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...
