Hidup untuk Mati

Walter Breuning meninggal dunia di sebuah panti jompo di Great Falls, Montana, AS, pada 14 april lalu. Ia bukanlah orang penting, bukan orang kaya, bukan artis, bukan pula tokoh supertenar. Nama Walter Breuning tercatat di Guiness Book of World Record edisi 2010 sebagai pria tertua di dunia. Ia meninggal pada usia 114 tahun. Istrinya, Agnes, telah meninggal pada tahun 1957 setelah pernikahan mereka berjalan 36 tahun tanpa dikaruniai anak. Sejak itu Walter tidak pernah menikah lagi.
Usia bisa demikian panjang, tentu berkaitan dengan pola hidup, pola makan, disamping kondisi fisiknya.
"Saya tidak pernah punya pantangan makan, tetapi sekaku membatasi hanya makan dua kali sehari, dan itu cukup bagi tubuh kita," katanya dalam wawancara 6 Oktober 2010. "Dalam hidup, pikiran lebih penting daripada makana. Gunakan pikiran untuk mengendalikan hidup anda. Mind and body adalah dua hal yang tidak bisa dipisahkan; gunakan secara seimbang. Gunakanlah terus keduanya sepanjang hidup. Buatlah mereka terus sibuk, selama mungkin."
Adakah ajaran lain yang bisa digunakan kepada kita-kita yang lebih muda?
"Terimalah perubahan, meski itu menampar muka anda. Yakinlah bahwa setiap perubahan itu baik."
"Bekerjalah selama mungkin. Dengan begitu anda akan terus mendapatkan hasilnua."
"Bantulah orang lain. Semakin banyak anda mengulurkan bantuan, jiwa anda semakin sehat."
Lalu, setelah semua saran itu diikuti, kiat apakah yang menjadi kunci panjang umur?
"Jangan takut mati. Banyak orang takut akan kematian, tapo saua menerimanya. Saya belajar ini dari kakek saya. Dia bilang, 'Semua orang akan mati, dan saya juga akan mati. Setiap saat.' Ya..kita memang hidup untuk mati."
Tentu bukan kematian yang sia-sia yang kita sambut dengan senang, tapi kematian yang datang setelah kita mengisi hidup dengan kebaikan. Walter Breuning mengalaminya setelah menjalani hidup selama 114 tahun. Hidup kita mungkin tidak sama dengan dia, tapi kita bisa memiliki kesiapan yang sama.

Refleksi

Seringkali aku berkata,
Ketika semua orang memuji, milikku

Bahwa sesungguhnya ini hanyalah titipan
Bahwa mobilku hanyalah titipan-Nya
Bahwa rumahku hanyalah titipan-Nya
Bahwa hartaku hanyalah titipan-Nya
Bahwa putraku hanyalah titipan-Nya

Tetapi, mengapa aku tak pernah bertanya:
Mengapa Dia menitipkan padaku ?
Untuk apa Dia menitipkan ini padaku ?
Dan kalau bukan milikku, apa yang harus kulakukan untuk milik-Nya itu ?
Adakah aku memiliki hak atas sesuatu yang bukan milikku ?

Mengapa hatiku justru terasa berat, ketika titipan itu diminta kembali oleh-Nya ?
Ketika diminta kembali, kusebut itu sebagai musibah
Kusebut itu sebagai ujian, kusebut itu sebagai petaka
Kusebut itu sebagai panggilan apa saja untuk melukiskan kalau itu adalah derita
Ketika aku berdoa, kuminta titipan yang cocok dengan hawa nafsuku

Aku ingin lebih banyak harta,
ingin lebih banyak mobil,
lebih banyak popularitas, dan
kutolak sakit,
kutolak kemiskinan,
seolah semua "derita" adalah hukuman bagiku

Seolah keadilan dan kasih-Nya harus berjalan seperti matematika:
Aku rajin beribadah, maka selayaknyalah derita menjauh dariku, dan nikmat dunia kerap menghampiriku.

Kuperlakukan Dia seolah mitra dagang, dan bukan kekasih
Kuminta Dia membalas "perlakuan baikku",
Dan menolak keputusan-Nya yang tak sesuai keinginanku

Gusti,
Padahal tiap hari kuucapkan, hidup dan matiku hanya untuk beribadah.
Ketika langit dan bumi bersatu, bencana dan keberuntungan sama saja

Wanita

Tuhan,mengapa wanita begitu mudah menangis?

Tuhan berkata:
Ketika AKU menciptakan seorang wanita, ia diharuskan untuk mjdi seorang yang istimewa.
AKU membuat bahunya cukup kuat utk menopang dunia, namun harus cukup lembut untuk memberikan kenyamanan.
AKU memberikan kekuatan dari dalam untuk mampu melahirkan anak dan menerima penolakan yang sering datang dari anak-anaknya.
AKU memberi kekerasan untuk membuatnya tetap tegar saat orang lain menyerah, dan mengasuh keluarganya dgn penderitaan+kelelahan tanpa mengeluh.
AKU memberi kepekaan untuk mencintai anak-anaknya dalam tiap keadaan, bahkan ketika anaknya bersikap sangat menyakiti hatinya.
AKU memberinya kekuatan utk mendukung suaminya dalam kegagalannya dan melengkapi dengan tulang rusuk suaminya untuk melindungi hatinya.
AKU memberi kebijaksanaan untuk
mengetahui bahwa suami yang baik takkan pernah menyakiti istrinya, tapi kadang menguji kekuatan dan ketetapan hatinya untuk berada di sisi suaminya tanpa ragu.
Akhirnya,
AKU memberinya air mata untuk diteteskan. Ini adalah khusus miliknya untuk digunakan kapan pun ia butuhkan.
Kau tahu, kecantikan seorang wanita bukanlah dari pakaian yang dikenakannya, sosok yang ia tampilkan atau bagaimana ia menyisir rambutnya.
Kecantikan seorang wanita harus dilihat dari matanya,karena itulah pintu hatinya tempat dimana cinta itu ada.

Last Day 19th

Hi..tonight is October 8th, 22:59.
60mins+1 away from twenties..I'm now widely awaken, waiting for..or maybe looking for a feeling of difference.
Is there any certain significant feeling when turning teen age to (let's say) a mature age?

One thing for sure, I am grateful for everything. Every bitterness and every laughter, they are all strengthen me and help me to grow up.I thank God, for I have a great God like Jesus Christ, who always give me the best.
My family; mama, papa, christo and monic, no matter how imperfect its form, but they are the best in my life.
My friends, they are thousands out there and I thank God. Wherever I go, God provides me such a lovely friends as a companionship, singapore and here, I love them and I miss them.
and then to a very special one, my beloved ryan, who faithfully support me in everything I do, love me unconditionally. He is the greatest gift God ever gifted to me in my life.

CIT Project: About IBA

Jilly Gabriella Eman/IA - 100613009




Been so busy lately and have no time to write. My last post recorded on July while now last day on September. Too much things to write too little energy.

In fact I got so much things in my mind to share.


I started my new college here (Manado, red), since I came back to my hometown last year, and now studying international business administration in UNSRAT (Universitas Sam Ratulangi) Manado.


This is actually one of my assignment: make a blog and post something about IBA life. Thats why on the very top one I wrote my identity.

Well..let's start.


College, for me, is a place where you can find bunch of friends there, but the real school actually is not collage itself but life. Be a part of IBA is a pleasure. I've got plenty friends and knowledge that I've never got before.

IBA has a loooooot of events, such as IBA Night, IBA weekend, IBA expo, etc. I never imagine how do they manage it. But it simply proofs that they are able to afford it. Unfortunately I cant join every single event, cause I live in Tomohon and to be effective I must eliminate activities which is not really useful for me to involved. Beside, studying while working is not that easy.

The curriculum is not much different with NAFA (my college before, red). It has certain amount of credits that have to be fulfilled by the end of the semester. The earliest class starts from 7 o'clock in the morning up to 1 o'clock in the afternoon and even 3 o'clock in the evening.

IBA freshie class divided to 4 classes; IA, IB, IC, and ID. Actually there's nothing differenced it, just a way to divide student into classes.

The rest collage stuff, I think, is totally the same with any other collage and faculty we generally known. My goal is, study hard and graduate as soon as possible.


Thanks for reading and stay touched! :)

Walk boldly

H-6 the pressure is stronger.
There is always moment when I get intimidated and suddenly the fear come through my body mind and heart. Shivering. Panic. Afraid. Frightened. Discourage. Worry. Etc.
It means that I gotta fasten the prayer.

2 Cor 4
We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken.

These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times,..

... not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.

Joel Osteen once said,
The key of success is not to be discouraged, while you're in the process..

Yes. I believe that the favor of God can bring us out of difficulties and turn adversities around for good.

When You Believe

This is the song I'm currently listening.

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could


There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


They don't (always happen) when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
(A small but )still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles,you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believe

Struggle

Many times, people pray when they got in trouble time.
That what's happening today, hmm..kind of.

I wrote these, maybe could be a bit random or hard to you to understand. These part of my thoughts that I can't effort anymore. The fear in me come out, though I spoke lot of words of God that say "Don't be afraid", just..lemme pour out everything here.

Today.
People come around and say, 'hey don't forget to pray, this time more dangerous'
(Helo? They tell me like I never pray *sigh)
Then I said, I'm praying every day for you, but do you? I believe God wants you to pray and ask too, and not only me.
I know, the situation here are getting more difficult. Like BOOM! I just heard a news in the morning, and the reaction come so fast! Woohoo! Exciting and dangerous.

This competition, everybody's knew it, the strongest will come as a winner. If people think they're not strong enough then they will never in. I believe all the candidates have a confidence that they are strong enough to compete. Well, so I conclude, it's not about the power of money or the power of authority that counts but the power of prayer.

I do pray, (maybe, we do) but... I know too, that they also pray. Or maybe, I can say, they pray more than we did. Cause, before this competition start, I know 'em more than other people see.
I have seen a lot of people make miracle happens, I've made miracle happens in my life, I heard stories about it and I believe, according to my faith, and according to what I've experienced.

I pray. I believe God hears my prayers. But they also pray, and I believe God hears their prayers too. This is all about the power to touch God hearts, even though we know God has already planned for these.

I spoke the words, I believe they did too. They even know more than I do. This is the war of spirit and not money. Cause above all else, God control everything more than money does.
I know, no matter how hard I pray, no matter how hard I try to be a better one, I'm only one from a million. I don't know but I feel like they are too strong for me. (Wait, don't see this as a statement of pessimism, or somewhat kind of self-intimidation) I say this according to what I feel.
My side, they do so much effort but less pray (or maybe they pray, but in a wrong way like James 4: 2-3 said). Their side, they also do some effort but pray in a way God wants. I don't know whether I am right or I am not, that's what I feel.

I'm thinking of, two possibilities:
1.) It's a real miracles for another candidate after they prayers, or
2.) It's our miracles about to happen in such a way we never imagine.

*sigh
About two weeks before the day, either my side or their side, it's all about God's victory. I might feel it or think about many possibilities here and there, but God will decide who worth all the effort.
When I think about these all, there is a part in my heart said "don't be distracted, you have the power of making miracles happen same as what they have" (like in matthew 4 said, the devil can intimidate us through word of God too) but in the other side I also heard "yes, you know it's their time, you know where is right and wrong, you know they really pay all prices, did you do as much as they did?" (remember the story of Daud and Golliat? small who can beat the big one?)

aaaaaaa, hard hard hard.. to think about what will happen next just make me sweat. It's a dilemma. I am even afraid to ask God for the victory, I know I'm not doing it well *sigh
Whatever it is, it all depends on God's will, that best.

Left Unsaid

Ma, I miss you.
I miss your smile
I miss your voice
I miss your advice
I miss your phone
I miss you text me

I miss the time u check on me
I miss when u got mad to me
I miss when u look at me in the eyes and then kiss me good night

I miss u to take care of me
Buy me some presents
Bring me to haircut
Take me to the dentist, sometime forcing
I miss those bright and dark moments with you

Ma, I hope u understand how I miss you to be my super mom again

I don't say these to show that now you are nothing anymore for me, but..
I just try to show you how significant your presence to me.
I feel like sometimes, no..but many times, I can't stand these any longer without you, I really need you.
Ma, please get better. Have more spirit, I know u can!
My pray always be with you, every single day, get closer to a hundred percent health.

Ma, it doesn't mean that I think u r weak now, nooo..believe me u r even stronger now.
And I'm grateful for you is my mom like others could never be.

I love you.

It happened

This was a story weeks ago. I found this funny for my self.
I lost my wallet on 3rd of May, while watching "hardiknas" de vile of Tomohon (u'll get it if u leave here).
I admit that day I was so terribly panic, I know I was wrong, and dad's gonna be so mad at me. I lost his cards and mom's in my wallet, which that day he needs it urgently. That's why, I felt really bad.
The night I pray, I gave it back to God, that wallet is no longer mine but God. I blessed the people who steal it and I let it go (in fact I love my red wallet so) and try to never expect it anymore.
After a week, somebody found it. WOW. I laugh to my self, because the day it lost, a friend told me (it's his experience) to pray for that man and the wallet so it'll come back to me and I just said "don't need to pray for it to returned anymore, I've let it go." And in my heart I know it'll will never ever returned. Once a thing lost (especially wallet), it will forever not found, that's what I know. Beside, I can buy a new one. I thought so. But when it's found, I hardly believe it, it's like BOOM! God was trying to say that "heyy..through Me nothing is impossible" haha how funny! Can I say that a testimony? :)
maybe this post sounds simple but if u just were me, u'll know how great it was work hehe :)

Everything happens for reason :)

Saat bertemu dgn orang yg benar-benar engkau kasihi, haruslah berusaha memperoleh kesempatan untuk bersamanya seumur hidupmu. Karena ketika dia telah pergi, segalanya telah terlambat.

Saat bertemu teman yang dapat dipercaya, rukunlah bersamanya. Karena seumur hidup manusia, teman sejati tak mudah ditemukan.

Saat bertemu penolongmu, Ingat untuk bersyukur padanya. Karena ialah yang mengubah hidupmu.

Saat bertemu orang yang pernah kau cintai, Ingatlah dengan tersenyum untuk berterima-kasih. Karena dialah orang yang membuatmu lebih mengerti tentang kasih.

Saat bertemu orang yang pernah kau benci, Sapalah dengan tersenyum. Karena ia membuatmu semakin teguh/kuat.

Saat bertemu orang yang pernah mengkhianatimu, Baik-baiklah berbincanglah dengannya. Karena jika bukan karena dia, hari ini engkau tak memahami dunia ini.

Saat bertemu orang yang pernah diam-diam kau cintai, Berkatilah dia. Karena saat kau mencintainya, bukankah berharap ia bahagia?

Saat bertemu orang yang tergesa-gesa meninggalkanmu, Berterima-kasihlah bahwa ia pernah ada dalam hidupmu. Karena ia adalah bagian dari nostalgiamu.

Saat bertemu orang yang pernah salah-paham padamu, Gunakan saat tersebut untuk menjelaskannya. Karena engkau mungkin hanya punya satu kesempatan itu saja untuk menjelaskan.

Saat bertemu orang yang saat ini menemanimu seumur hidup, Berterima-kasihlah sepenuhnya bahwa ia mencintaimu. Karena saat ini kalian mendapatkan kebahagiaan dan cinta sejati.

Saat membaca artikel ini…..
renungkanlah…. satu saat semua yang kita miliki harus dilepaskan, gengsi, harga diri, kehormatan,takhta, harta.

"Sedapat dapatnya kalau semua itu bergantung pada pilihan kita, hiduplah damai dengan semua orang, saling mengasihi, dan berusahalah tuk trs membahagiakan mrk"

Selamat pagi. Have a blessing day.
