Christmas Eve

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Philippians 2:8-10 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth

I've promised to blog about what is the real meaning of Christmas to me. Some of you might have read my tweets. I said in my previous tweets that Christmas is not merely about exchanging gifts, santa claus, or else but this is the time of remembrance about a savior was born. I'm not saying that  apart from the remembrance  practicing the custom will be wrong but, it is important for us to know the real meaning of Christmas :)

It's Christmas Eve, and in a few hours we will be celebrating Christmas worldwide. Telco lines will be congested I guess after this because a lot of people are sending Christmas wish to their friends :p

Once again, Merry Christmas, I'm so happy to wish this again and again :P

It is not the same anymore.

This year Christmas celebration is very simple yet meaningful to me but I feel slightly different because Dad was not here together with us celebrating Christmas. It's been the first year of Christmas without him. When I see all the other families gathered together, I admit that I miss Dad even more. But I've promised myself not to dwell in sorrow, but to accept the fact that everyone is going to die sooner or later as life is not forever, but the end of our life we will be together with Him and who believes in Him shall receive an eternal life.

To be honest, after my dad passed away, I've been very inactive in joining any church activities especially in praise and worship. I told to myself I just want to lay low, but in fact I'm too sad and I can't accept that he's now gone forever.

Then I went back to my hometown, my cousin asked me to join the practice for Christmas celebration, I just answer I will go, if I'm not busy. I still joined them at the end.

During the celebration, Pst Alexander was the one who preach about "Having a good way of life in Jesus" I always admire how he explains about the bible, very clear and understandable. At this moment, I've realised that I'm living my life out from the right track. I think back what I've done in the past few months right after my dad passed away. 

I was miserable, stone heart, frustrated and I blamed myself for not being a good daughter. 

Then after listening to his preach, I began to realised that God never leave us, it is us who always leave Him. I came to Him with a very broken heart, frustrated with what happen to my family, I ain't a perfect person but He still accepts me as His child. He always bless me with His abundant blessing and I couldn't ask for more :)

 Always in remembrance. 

Second Session :)

Rainy Sunday but I'm grateful that God had given me one more chance to breathe. I couldn't ask for more, I just want this family to be unite :) 

Preach by Pst Alexander, second session of Christmas celebration and the third session will be tonight. Will be updating more  after this :)

Have a blessed Sunday everyone :)

Christmas.

I've been abandoning my blog for quite a while due to practical week and preparation for Christmas. 

I miss writing, sharing photos and here I am, posting a little bit updates about what's been happening here. We are celebrating Christmas at church, and tonight is the first session.I just got back from church and I feel blessed by the preach. I still remember my ex-schoolmate posted on facebook about " Try not to deviate from the real meaning of Christmas" I strongly agree on this. I wish I have an ample of time to explain what I really think what Christmas is all about for me. I guess I blog about it later. Now, I just wanna wish you all, have a joyful Christmas, because I'll know I'll be very busy and I don't have time to wish to my faithful readers. 

Jujie and me, after the first session of Christmas celebration at church. :)

Be blessed :)
