Praying for Stranger


Today...i was in the hospital lift...and there were 4 of us...3 women and 1 man...
1 young lady was crying...i can see she was trying to overcome the feeling but the tears keeps running down her cheeks...

it was not the first time i encounter this situation...deep inside i really want to do something for them...but everytime i stop myself not to do anything coz i always afraid of their responses...they might think that i'm so 'kaypoh' (busybody)...so i always escape the situation without doing anything...

today...the urge feeling from inside force me to say something...so when only two of us in the lift...i try to say something and be prepared with the reply....

me: "are you OK?!"
the lady: "Yes Yes Yes i'm OK...it just that..."
i can see she is smiling but the eyes shows a broken soul and her face shows a great pain...

the lady continue:"it's my husband...his condition getting worse...and...and...i'm so worry..."
i reached out to her...embrace her...and...she was crying again...
i lost my word and i can only say "be strong"

i left her near the lift as i have to send something to the clinic...and moreover...i don't know what to do...

but something inside force me again..this time very strong..."go back and pray for her!"

i was like "what?!"...those typical questions pop-up in my mind:
.she might be a non-believer
.what should i say?!
.she might reject me...bla...bla...bla

as my mind struggling with those question...my feet brought me out and found her...

she was there...wiping her tears and trying hard to overcome her feeling...

i smile to her...she smile back to me...
i hold her hands...she hold mine...its more like squeezing...

i don't know where the power came...but then i tell her "do u want me to pray for you"...this time she nodded

i pull her to the corner and start to pray with my broken english...well i speak english but seldom pray in english...but the words just like well-arranged and flew out nicely from my mouth...i can feel the presence of God...we both shaking and broke in tears...as the joy overwhelm us...

after Amen...she pull me and hold me tight...she whispered "thank you..."

after a few words then we say goodbye...and she told me "i believe..."

she might be a believer or not...well i don't know and i don't have to know...beyond that is God's part to deal with...

as for me...i'm soooo happy...i can't describe the feeling...but its so good...yes....its so good...i can feel that one stronghold has been broken...i have overcome my fear of showing affection to strangers...and...i learn that people are not always strong like in my mind...they need somebody *even stranger* to share their pain...

and...if you are in pain....God always has His way to reaching out to you...you just have to believe!

Surprise di awal tahun

Tahun Baru...Hidup Baru...Harapan Baru... ...komplit deh... Ternyata surprise diawal tahun OK juga ya...hehehehe...semua ini berhubungan dengan our baby... Sugar Level Awal desember lalu...pas lagi scanning dokternya bilang baby-nya a bit fat *waks* ...aku sering baca-baca di internet...klo baby yang fat itu gak baik...banyak gak baiknya deh...akhirnya dokter langsung minta aku test darah karna dia curiga sugar level-ku naik fyi karna papaku seorang penderita diabetes jadi diawal kehamilan aku udah jalanin diabetes test...saat itu sugar levelku berada di level ideal (5.4) ... Hari itu pas dicek...ternyata sugar levelku naik tinggi sampe 9.6 *o'o* ...dokter langsung minta test darah lengkap 3 hari kemudian...ada kemungkinan karna aku baru abis breakfast jadi sugar level naik, tapi menurut dokter harusnya naik gak setinggi itu... aku sendiri gak merasa konsumsi sugar yang tinggi...malahan sejak hamil gak doyan ngemil sama sekali...makan bener" sesuai porsi gak ada yang berlebih

NO maid + no BS = ?

HHhhhhmmm...mari kita liat formula yang ada BS=Babysitter NO maid + No BS = Sleepless Night ...sejak calvin lahir sampe sekarang hampir 4 bulan...aku sama sekali belum pernah merasakan tidur malam yang pulas sampe pagi... NO maid + No BS = Struggle ...tentu saja...aku komit ke calvin untuk ngasih dia asi ekslusif selama 6 bulan, jelas aja aku harus selalu ON saat dia minum susu dan anak yang minum asi tidurnya lebih singkat dari anak yang minum formula... No maid + No BS = No time for myself ...semua waktuku hanya untuk calvin...klo orang lagi jatuh cinta ngomong you are my everything keliatan picis banget...tapi bagiku kalimat itu kena banget ke calvin...he is my world...apapun yang aku kerjakan pasti berhubungan dengan calvin ...yang namanya jalan-jalan, santai-santai, kongkow-kongkow sampe malam sama teman-teman udah di delete tuntas dari kamus saya...hehehehehe... No maid + No BS = stuck @ home ...aku cuman bisa keluar ama torkis, mungkin ini lebih ke alasan malas, klo keluar strol
