persevering spirit.
a spirit of perseverance. i see that in her.
though it's a tiring journey, but she still goes on.
that's the kind of persevering spirit we all need in our christian walk.
when things get too tough, take a break. eat a little. sleep a little.
find a time and place to think through things. to be still.
when life gets easier, when exams are over, when there's time.
that's when it's even harder to spend time with God.
such an irony...
it's when things are hard that i find myself having a closer walk with God.
terima kasih ibu siantik sudah memberi semangat kepada saya untuk praktek bahasa indonesia.
i've never been confident when it comes to speaking in bahasa indonesia...
ibu siantik, one of my bahasa indonesia teachers, told me yesterday at the potluck that i could write well, just that i needed to be more confident to speak the language. speaking is scary because it requires me to know the words to say right there on the spot. but i can't! cos i'm too slow. writing is less stressful because there's time to think and there's the dictionary too.
ibu siantik was very encouraging... she told me to be confident and to be brave to speak the language. she said that since i could write, it means that speaking shouldn't be a problem.. and that i just needed more practice.. i've never been confident of my bahasa indonesia... especially in speaking... but i'm a little more encouraged now after what ibu siantik said.

thank you ibu!
help me to trust.
