The Power Pack

IMG_0875

It’s been an adventure to get my daughter ready for her Kindergarten. This is her first time going to school! She is super excited about it, on the other hand, I am excited and worries at the same time. I think this year is going to be awesome 🙂

She has her own To Do list, like gotta go get her lunch box and school supplies at Target, specifically that store. I came back from a Dallas on Sunday (8/10) afternoon and we went to Target straight from the Airport. She likes to get the washi tape but it was not on her list. So she asked if she could just play with them… LOL! I just love this Kindergarten kid!

Once we got everything on the list, she said, “Now, I am ready to go to school because I have my lunch box.” Having a lunch box is a big deal for her!

And the baby sister is also ready to go to school just like her big sister. She says, “Mama, Backpack. Backpack!” She calls all the stuff she has on her shoulders are backpacks.

And I have my own To Do list to getting myself ready for school day, such as… I need to get my driving license, yes, I cannot drive yet. I have been putting it off for a long time. I think I cannot escape this time. And making Breakfast and lunch list for the pickiest kid on the block. She says, “Mama, I want apple, Graham crackers and square cheese in my lunch box.” Well, I am worry that she’ll be hungry and will ask for snack in the middle of class.

I need more that just what I wrote on my To Do List… I need a Power Pack! This one power pack is not what you can get at grocery store.

Greater Joy

This is not a coincidence that this week prompt for Five Minute Friday is JOY.

Five Minute Friday

This is not JOY…. It is the greater JOY I ever had in my life with Jesus that I have almost the whole Bible in my heart language! I can read it online, at any time, any where.

I admit that I am crying with tears of joy while writing this post. This is the joy I want to share with everyone. This is the joy that I want those who have not yet have the Bible to have too. This is why my husband and I want to go and share this joy with them. We want to go to let them know that God is alive. God cares. God speaks in language they understands. God wants them to know Him and to love Him.

In God’s word we find the true joy in the midst of craziness of life. In God’s word alone we find the answers of this life. Through reading God’s word, we hear Him speaking to us.

But they won’t have it if they do not have the Bible.

For 12 years my walk with God, I read the Bible in Indonesian and English. My husband went to my hometown in 2007 as part of his short mission trip with Wycliffe (at that time we were not dating yet) and when he came back to Jakarta to see me, he brought back a book of Acts and the story of Joseph in Manadonese. That was my very first time read God’s word in my heart language.

And then in 2012, the director of Bible Translation in Manado, sent me 5 partial books of the Bible in Manadonese and 3 other languages that in one cluster. I REJOICED!

Last night, I got an email from the director and she gave the link to the Gospel of God in Manadonese Online! I am leaping with joy to know that we now have access to God’s Word in our heart language, Manadonese! We have the website to read it now and waiting for the printed one to be done soon!!!!

Wanna know how my first language look like? You are welcome to visit the website here:

Injil Manado - Gospel of God in Manadonese

THANK YOU for all of you who have been praying for this. God heard and answered your prayers for us. PLEASE continue pray for the rest of 400 languages in Indonesia who has been waiting for so long to have the Bible in their languages!

THANK YOU for all the translators who have been working so hard to make it happen.

THANK YOU for all financial partners who have invested financially in this projects for the people of Manado can read God’s word

THANK YOU for administration people and IT supports people who work heard behind the scene. Without your supports, this won’t happened!

To God only I give my praise! He is the one who have started the good work in our lives and He will continue to work until the day He reveal His glory!

We are so close to have the whole New Testament! Almost at the finish line!

I would like to invite you to be part of the mission to bring God’s word to 200 Million people who speaks at leas 1,900 languages in the world so that they can have the joy we have in Christ…. Check out these organizations and please be prayerfully consider to be their partners:
