Some people's priorities sometimes suprised you.
Seems like you've known them forever, but then, when things happened, you would learn that most of them have changed. Their respond and action DO suprised you.
You were expecting them to act A, instead, it was a B.
Worse case scenario, they didn't even do a thing about it. Until you asked them, and then they respond, like they care.

And then, you are left with disappointment.

A lthough things are not perfect
B ecause of trial or pain
C ontinue in thanksgiving
D o not begin to blame
E ven when the times are hard
F ierce winds are bound to blow
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know
I magine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts to thee
M ove out of "Camp Complaining"
N o weapon that is known
O n earth can yield the power
P raise can do alone
Q uit looking at the future
R edeem the time at hand
S tart every day with worship
T o "thank" is a command
U ntil we see Him coming
V ictorious in the sky
W e'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

Facts:
At the age of 20-30, mostly people tend to sacrifice their health to gain wealth..
and around 40-50 -when they already get their wealth, then they started to think about their health..

Health or Wealth..?
Why not both at the same time?
How?
(just ask , and i'll show you how ;p )

Rick Warren's Ushers

Three days in a row, many blessings i get. Hearing the sermon from Rick Warren and team, even though didnt hear much on the seminars since i was on duty, still A LOT to learn.
Firstly, the reason we tithe:
1. Thanking Lord for the past
2. So that in our present time we can Focus on Him
3. Trusting Him on the Future
Everytime we give, it bites the grip towards materialism, u agree?
Also at one point, we need to learn to do a Reverse Tithe, which is: give 90% and just use 10%..
Will write some more later..

Big Dreams: is it about me or HIM?

RICK WARREN TEAM IN JAKARTA
First Service:
TO LIVE A LEGACY LIFE
1. Live your life without a safety net. I Kings 19:19, Roman committed.
2. Give up status -great things happen when u wanna give up your status.
3. Stay close to teachers, II Kings 2
4. Prepare when opportunity comes

LIVING A GREAT LEGACY:
1. Start Serving - choose passion over duty (change of heart), choose giving over getting, choose being an example.
2. Stay humble
3. Stay worry about the future

Second Service:
Godz promise is, to move the mountain, so think BIG -that's to glorified His name.
3 things that can stop you from thinking BIG:
1. Ego -we think selfish, first thing we think is about ourselves
2. Failures -tried once but failed. Ex:Abraham, David, Peter -they all failed, but they tried again.
3. Fears

Godz intention is, not to make you feel powerful, but instead to make people see HIS power working in you.

BIG DREAMS: is it about me, or is it about HIM?
We must Start Small to THink Big. How do we start small?
1. Listen to God -Psalm 8:5, Proverbs 15:14 Trash just happened, but truth is smthing you gotta seek for.
2. Tell God what you need. James 4 - dont have what you want coz u didnt ask for it. There's only 2 things that could happened: Either He'll change what you have, or change what you want. Coz if God give us everything what WE wanted, we'll be selfish.
3. Thank God, for who HE is, and for what WE are. Rom 11:23 dont give up! You just need a little faith, claim a "mustard seeds"

Psalm 1:19 - Focus on Godz promise, not on ours, than we can see the changes, we can move the mountain
