Dreamer on Catcher

Well, sejujurnya aku kurang senang nulis. Nulis diary, buku, update status,termasuk juga blog. Menurutku tu yah, lebih afdol kalo dibicarain langsung, diperdebatkan secara terperinci dan udah..selesai. Beberapa kali pernah aku coba udah siapin buku buat nulis,ballpoint,pensil,tipe-x,de ell el..semuanyaa lengkap. eh pas baru duduk, pikiranku udah jalan kemana-mana, tambah lagi pas hp bunyi..lengkap deh. Misi menulis gagal. 
Pernah juga beberapa kali udah login ke blogspot buat nulis, materi udah ada di kepala, tapi 5 menit..10 menit.. tanganku berbuat salah (halah!) dengan menggerakkan mouse ke link "TUTUP" hahaha. Gagal Total. Tulisan ku yang malang berakhir sebagai draft.

Tapi ntah kenapa pagi ini, rasanya pengen aja nge-post. Udah ada blog pribadi kok, ya gunain aja. Hitung-hitung belajar hohohohohho..

Dengan semangat yang menggebu-gebu, kali ini aku pengen ngobrol tentang "Dreamer on Catcher", penangkap mimpi,peraih mimpi..

Guys, inget ga cita-cita kalian waktu kecil apa? Kalo aku tuh ya banyaaaaak bgt dan berubah-ubah sesuai pertambahan usia. Doaku waktu usia 4 tahun, pengen bgt punya tinggi 170cm supaya bisa jadi model, trus pengen jadi perawat, pernah juga pengen jadi power rangers warna kuning (sampai-sampai aku dan 4 temanku udah bentuk tim power rangers loh).

Waktu kelas 5 sd akhirnya mimpiku mulai normal, pengen jadi dokter. Waktu SMP pengen jadi atlit bulutangkis, sampai-sampai sudah keluar masuk beberapa club di daerah Bogor dan Jakarta. Pernah menjuarai bulutangkis provinsi tingkat SD, pernah juga ikut sirkuit nasional, juara 1 se-kota..lumayan membanggakan deh. Tapi ntah kenapa lama kelamaan semuaya perlahan-lahan menghilang. Aku pernah juga pengen jadi intel, dan akhirnya saat SMA berakhir pada satu kesimpulan, Missionaris.

eng ing eeennng.... akhirnya luluslah dari SMA. and you know guys, aku ditolak perguruan tinggi 6 kali sampai hari ini. dan hijrah-lah aku ke Palembang. Serius nih ya, niatnya tuh ya cuman liburan, beneran deh. Liburan 1 minggu ke tempat sepupuku. Ga ada pikiran nyeleneh, sepupuku pernah nanya, "Ngapain pilih liburan ke Palembang?" jujur aja aku ga tau, rasanya pengen aja.

1 minggu lewat, 2 minggu...3minggu dan ntah bagaimana ceritanya aku lulus di perguruan tinggi swasta...di PALEMBANG !! Sesuatu yang ga kebayang.

Guys, tau gak.. waktu aku ditolak berkali apalagi setelah keluarin duit mamaku puluhan juta itu rasanyaa..duniaku runtuh. Malu, pengen menghilang, pengen nyebur,pengen mati,pengen ngomel2. Ketar-ketir deh. Tapi tetep aja, gayaku sok sok tenag, yang padahal udah ga tau harus ngapain. Mood ku waktu itu hanya pengen dikamar. Aku pikir, kesempatanku yang padahal tinggal selangkah lagi udah berakhir.

1 bulan, 2 bulan.. dan sampai sat tulisan ini aku post. Akhirnya aku menyadari sesuatu, sedikit demi sedikit sebenarnya aku sedang menuju ke mimpi ku. Missionaris.

Ikut pelayanan, belajar tata cara nyapu, ngepel. Merelakan diri untuk menjadi rendah, menyadari bahwa aku hanyalah seorang hamba Tuhan, yang tidak layak meuntut apa-apa. Pergi ke daerah2, pelukin ibu2 janda,melayani mereka.....sesuatu yang diluar dugaanku. Luar biasa Tuhan Yesus itu.

Enak gak? GAK ENAK BANGET. Proses itu ga enak.
But, as a dream catcher gak ada istilahnya kebetulan, lucky atau sesuatu yang tanpa usaha.

Pemimpin-pemipin besar dilahirkan berkat kerja keras mereka, kerja yang sangat keras.

Seperti Einstein yang bodoh dimasa kecilnya, usaha nya yang sangat keras menghasilkan sesuatu yang luar biasa jenius dan aku percaya itu. Apalagi kita yang notabene adalah sebagai anak-anak Tuhan.
Jika dia bisa, kita pasti bisa.

 Apa alasan kita? Keterbatasan fisik? Gender? Umur? Finance (keuangan) ? Kegagalan Masa lalu? Hey.. ayo buka mata lebar-lebar. 
>> Nih aku kasih link orang-orang dengan keterbatasan fisik yang sukses http://zulkifli19.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/7-atlet-sukses-dengan-keterbatasan-fisik/
>> Jaman sekarang juga ga pernah jadi masalah kalo mengenai gender. Banyak sekarang wanita-wanita yang berhasil enjadi pemimpin, dan juga banyak pria yang sukses di bidang fahsion.
>> Masih muda membuat malu berkarya? Justru harus bangga selagi muda bisa berbuat banyak hal, banyak yang meremehkan membuat peluang semakin terbuka lebar untuk menunjukkan kita bisa. Pasti kita menjadi berkat.
>>  Masalah finance yang paling sering dikeluhkan.. jadi masalah. membuat banyak yang memutuskan untuk berhenti. Hey guys, diluar sana tersedia ribuan beasiswa, lowongan pekerjaan. Munkin kit bisa melakukan salah satunya,kerja sambilan atau cari beasiswa. Pasti dapet kok kalau sungguh-sungguh mau berusaha dan ada kemauan serius.
   

Meski jalan kita belum kelihatan guys, diujung sana.. ntah masih jauh atau sudah dekat, percayalah bahwa ada suatu cahaya yang menunggu. Aku sedang menunggu dan berusaha, kamu juga.
Apabila kita berusaha untuk mencapai angka 100; kalaupun kita "gagal", kita masih bisa mencapai minimal angka 70. Sebaliknya, jika kita hanya berusaha untuk mencapai 50, ketika suksespun kita hanya mampu mencapai angka tersebut. Jadi, tidak ada salahnya memberi target tujuan untuk meraih sesuatu yang lebih besar, tinggi dan spektakuler. Gak perlu takut jatuh karena pasti bisa selalu bangkit asal ada kemauan.

Hyperballad

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Behind The Stars



Back to the days where I'm counting the years
Clock never seems to alive
And all I can do is believe what he said

                                                     "Love never goes to sleep"      

        But miles and miles away
        Far across the sea
        Thousand miles away
        Far behind the star

                                                                             I miss him uhh.. I miss him....

                   This is my story, this my song.....
                             And miles and miles away......
                   Far accross the sea...
                         Thousand miles away
                              Far behind the star....

                                                                                I miss him, I miss him...
                                                                                 Ohh, I miss him..

A Letter from Beloved Mommy


" Kita harus selalu percaya pada janji Tuhan ya nak. Apa yang kita rindukan kita mohon kepada Tuhan. Kalau itu memang Dia kehendaki pasti diberikan-Nya kepada kita. Kesabaran dan ketabahan akan menghasilkan buah yang luar biasa nak. Penderitaan kita tidak melebihi penderitaan Kristus. Dan penderitaan kita karena kehendak Allah akan menghasilkan yang baik. Pembentukan yang sakit ada maksud Tuhan kita. Ketika pohon dirantingi-Nya Dia bermaksud agar menghasilkan buah yang lebat dan saat dirantingi itu menyakitkan bagi pohon. Mudah2an anak mama dan anak Tuhan Yesus ini akan kuat menjalani keadaan yang sakit untuk kemuliaan Tuhan kita dan kemuliaan kita ke depan. Terpujilah tuhan yang akan menguatkan anak mama."

Salam kasih dari mama.



surat ini ditulis ibu ku, saat-saat paling ga enak yang aku alami terasa begitu berat.
Rasanya ingin mundur...
Tapi ketika baca ini sekali lagi, lagi... dan lagi...
Saya teringat kembali akan impian awal, doa kami bersama selama bertahun-tahun. Jadi, sebisa mungkin saya bergerak maju, dimanapun saya ditempa.. dimanapun saya ditempatkan. Walaupun tak terkatakan sakitnya.
Semoga kalian juga guys.

"Diberkatilah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN, yang menaruh harapnnya pada Tuhan."
                                        Yeremia 17:7                                                                    




this is how i learned.
bagaimana saya belajar mengandalkan Tuhan sepenuhnya dalam hidup saya.
mengalami kegagalan berkali-kali.
tapi dari setiap kegagalan , satu persatu kepingan kehendak Tuhan mulai tersusun. Menjadi sebuah puzzle, puzzel yang begitu besar. Puzzle itu adalah waktu kehidupan. Tidak perduli seberapa besar puzzle tersebut, saya menyerahkan sepenuhnya kedalam rencana Nya.

Kegagalan pasti dialami setiap kita, semua orang yang beruntung bisa menikmati karya-Nya di bumi ini.
Belajarlah dari sana, ambil semua yang kamu bisa.

Permata yang indah dihasilkan dari setiap gesekan panas yang harus ia lewati.

Ingatlah, Tuhan ga akan pernah memberi ular kepada anak Nya yang meminta roti.
Terus andalkan Tuhan. He loves you, He loves us.
God bless.

 


Why i interest in missionary doctor?



I was receiving Jesus as my Savior when I was just 4 years old. Since that, I and my mother pray about my future. I really want to become a missionary doctor since that day.
I live in a small village in West Borneo. When I was in elementary school, I have to go to my school by school bus for an hour. Every day when I passed through some villages, I saw lots of children walk to their school without any shoes even sandals; they walk using their own foot.  Surely, this situation describe their family life, I imagine how their parents works very hard to survive their life.  They parent have to works hard with minimum wages. They health life also in a bad habits, there is no one who wants to help them. In this bad health life situation, I really wish that I could help them to teach them how to manage good health life, keep the clean circumstances or help their sick family members.

I interested in medicine because of rural people. I love them so much. I really want to help them, to cure them, take care of them and telling them that there are still fraction people who cares about them. There are so many doctors in Indonesia with kind of differences backgrounds. Generally, the doctors became a doctor because they would like to cure sick people too, but doctors with missionary heart are rarely. We do not cure sick people, God do. But, I’m sure that God using doctor as a link. By the doctors’ hand, God wants to tell us that He is the only one who can cure people in their sickness, even the most difficult disease. I choose medicine because this job help lots of sick people using their own hand, not like the other job such as: engineer or musician. We can see the real condition in society.

I live in Palembang right now with my uncle’s family. They have a ministry, called “Yabes Ministry”. It is a ministry to help broken family. Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday we go to suburb in Palembang. We meet lots of rural and broken family who wants to be healed. They are really hungry of God’s words. They love God so much. They are very brave to do self-sacrifice, leave their job as brick makers just to join Christian gathering. In that gathering, we worship God and involve in prayer, toughen each other. I love this Christian community so much. But, what about their health life? We cannot find the solution until now because there is no doctor in our ministry. This is one of my prayer, help them especially in health.

If I become a doctor, I will use it to provide good health care for the people of Indonesia in the future with all of my heart. I will help people as hard as I can. I really wish that God will be rejoiced through me, I want to cure people and also to tell them about Jesus. People have to know that Jesus is the only one who can save us from the hell by His death in the cross.


Why Medicine?



                Being a doctor means you interact with humans directly. It is different from other occupations such as engineer, technician or scientist. Furthermore, the doctor has a clear objective: to cure people.
I choose medicine as stepping stone for my career because health problems are still the most important. As we know, there are so many medical professionals in Indonesia but the fact, our country still faces many health problems. That’s the reason why I would like to be a doctor who do small little things but work effectively for the people who need it.
                I do believe that through the health department, especially medicine I could get closer to people. And when I get closer to them, it would be easier for me to socialize the information, knowledge, and health issues even teach them how to keep healthy lifestyle. Besides, I could also educate many important things for instance how to read, write, and also to share about the Savior for their life.

                Nowadays, there are lots of the priest come into the villages to do evangelism. Rural communities still consider that the priest not only service about the Bible but also cure them. They would come together to the priest. That is not such a wrong opinion, but the priest is not a medical professional. Priests have no idea about the treatment they have to do to cure kinds of diseases. They do not have medical back ground. Finally, priest can only pray for them without doing medical treatment of course. I see that as my opportunity to make little movement where a doctor can either cure people or pray for them. One think I will do for sure is how to educate them about living healthy life style for a better life.

                In addition, not everybody knows that being a doctor is not such an easy job as what they think. Common people see it as a luxurious job. In fact, it needs effort, challenges and knowledge. You even cannot hope much for the salary. A lot of doctor’s candidates still worry about their future life; how to fulfill their needs or their family. So, that’s why many people give up being a missionary doctor. In this case, I would like to share that my true intention is about serving others with all I have. I ever thought about this case, about my future also, sometimes I feel worried with the mission, but I do believe when I service without a condition, God will bless me.
                               
                That’s why I am totally willing to become a doctor. A doctor who has heart about missionary. I would love to get involved to rural communities especially the poor. When they come to me, I will do my best as either a doctor or the priest. Having a dream to be a doctor is like an amazing gift that God has given in my heart. I will give my best to reach my ambition.
