Easter Egg Hunt

"You Love bind us in unity, O God, together we come to worship you, O Lord, our Savior and Living King!"

Abigail was TOO Excited for this Egg Hunting experience. She actually knew what to do and what to expect when she opened her eggs (plastic eggs!). We went to a Combine Easter Service of 4 Indonesian churches (IBC, IFGF, ICF and Catholic) in Columbus on Easter afternoon. After praise and worship time, they released all the children out to their rooms, divided them in 2 age-categories (so the big kids won’t get the little kids’ eggs… hehehehe….). From there, there where some ladies helped this kids to have their Easter Egg Hunt adventure begun!

We Love Being Silly

There’s nothing wrong to be silly with kids. For us that is the moment we have fun and laugh together. We make silly faces all the time, make animal sounds like crazy, playing games and even singing silly songs. Being silly is precious, priceless moment with our children. We love being silly 🙂

15 Weeks Now

Greenbo Lake, KY (03/25/2012)

Yes, I am 15 weeks pregnant now. It’s been amazing journey for this second one. Being pregnant this time is very different than the first one. We got the confirmation for the my OB/GYN that I am pregnant on February 6th and since then I was sick for the first 6 weeks. I was struggling with eating and weakness. I felt discouraged a lot at those weeks because I felt useless, didn’t have fun with my girl, and laid down all day whole weeks!

But by the grace of God, supports from my amazing husband, Dave, and smile and funny talks of my girl, Abigail, God enable me to go through all the sickness at my first trimester. Finally, I am not at my second trimester. More and more grace I need each day until I deliver this precious second baby, and more and more grace I will need to raise Abigail and the baby.

So much pain, yes. But it’s worth it. At the end I will hold this precious little baby in my hands. That’s the day I am looking for.

And God truly never leave me alone in this journey. Never forsake me. His hands always hold me, His love strengthen me and His presence is really in my life, day by day. More and more I love him.

This is the treasure I will never forget and I will tell my baby that it’s all God and for God only all the praises. I can’t wait to tell this baby that, “You’re a precious gift from God, you are special before God.”

We pray and hope that Abigail is blessed and God prepare her to be amazing, wonderful big sister.

Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him. ~ Psalm 127:3

Reunion In Indianapolis

Reunion In Indianapolis with our friend, mentor and future leader

On March 2nd until the 4th we went to Indianapolis to meet George. He was our Discovery South East Asia Team Leader Coordinator for about 10 years. We assisted him in 2006, 2007 and 2008. He is currently the Director of an NGO in Indonesia. Last time we saw him and his wife was in August 2008.

After 4 years, we finally had a chance to meet him again. We spent 2 days with him and discussed lots of things about our future ministry together with him in Indonesia.

He has been a good model and example for us, a humble servant of God. We are so thankful that God led us to meet him and his wife.

Rest In Peace, My Friend

October 2007, Pelatihan Penerapan Linguistik dan Budaya (Applied Linguistics and Culture Training I)

Couple of days ago, I got very very sad news from Indonesia. My dear friend and fellow missionary, Rudy Suseno passed away few minutes later after he had a motorcycle accident in Salatiga, at 6 pm local time, on January 5, 2012.

He was commissioned to an UPG in Java island a day before (Jan 4, 2012). I just cannot imagine the situation and the grief of the family and friends because of this. Rudi was known as a wonderful friend, husband, father, hard-work man, and loving. We had been friends since we first met at Kartidaya Introductory Workshop in 2006, and  then together with other friends we continued the training to the Basic Linguistics Application Training at the same organization in 2007. Then I got married and moved to States with my husband, but still we all still communicating through emails and Facebook. Never lost contact, but not anymore. We cannot contact him, write him message, or even see him in person. He rested in peace now.
