IT HAS BEEN TOUGH BUT WE ARE SO BLESSED. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR TRIP TO LOS ANGELES AND BACK

It has been tough for the last 5 months. It was not easy to deal with what we have been through. The moment your only source of income being told that it will not be available for you any more it was a real challenge in life. If you want to recall that moment you may read what I wrote on May 18th, Indeed it was tough but the beautiful life must be continued. I have been busy packing for the last two months and tomorrow we have to move to a new place and to a smaller place. All of the house hold are packed and by 8 am tomorrow we are moving to a new place. Peggy has not been here as she is must do her best for looking after the orphanage some 1500 miles away. It has been tough indeed.

Even tough it is tough we are really been blessed. What I was worry about (as a parent) my second daughter and my son have been taken care . They are having not only a good school but they are having a fantastic school. Abbotsford Christian School has been able to have them and able to put them into such a program where our children are able to follow the new system and the new curriculum  for them. It is a blessing that both Marianne and Christian are able to understand the language without any difficulties at all ( English language).

I hope that tomorrow we can move to the new place before 6 pm so that I can go to Jakarta just in time for the hometown rally event which will be held on the 16th. Looking at the schedule for the hometown rally I hope that I will be able to do it properly. It was planned that my day will start at 05 00 am and it will end up at around 21 30 pm. It is not an easy day but again as what we believe in that nothing is impossible. To make sure that things can be conducted I must have enough rest but in the reality it has been impossible. The house packing and moving to a new place and doing it by your self will not be easy.The unpacking will be the time when I am coming back from LA.

From tomorrow my movement will be so busy. Again I am hoping that we can get all of the items can be shifted by tomorrow at 6 pm at the latest. By taking the latest flight I shall reach Jakarta by 22 00 pm and it means I will reach my house in Jakarta at around 23 30 pm.  Sunday morning the 15th I will have the chance to worship at a church where by I was involved on its beginning . it was some 15 years ago when we have it opened and it was so great. From the 17th morning we will be joining with our classmate on CNN 2009 Heroes program in Los Angeles. It is the day that I am longing to be happening . It is the day that we will be able to meet up with our classmate in terms doing things differently but for the same purpose in life, that is sharing with our fellow human being which indeed we are having the privilege to do so. We are not competing but we are partners to do things together and  make the human race to be living as a normal human being.

It is so wrong that some people think that we are on such a competition to be the winner. We are classmates which are doing things together and for the shake of enhancing the day to day living towards what a normal life should be. Our efforts are full with short comings but all of us can only doing it the best we can. This is the part that your involvement will be greatly appreciated. This is the time to join the 10 of us to help others in need. You can do it any where in the world and with anything that you feel you have the passion to do so. This is the time for you to make others to be living as what a normal live is should be. Start from your home and your own community and start small and grow from it. It is the time to put human being to be a normal human being.

It is not always money that we are sharing with others but your time , energy and most importantly your love to others. Your idea can be an idea that can cure a potential floods or anything which endangering the society . Your knowledge and time can help the little ones to do well in math or any other subjects. May be through you expertise in music you can create the new Beethoven or Mozart , may be with your expertise on singing you can create a new super star singer. May be your expertise on farming can create a child from a remote place to be the person who will give a way to over come food shortage in the world. The time is now to be a helping hand to others and not to wait any longer. Start small and start now.
