God has called You

One day i opened my e-mail. And inside there's this e-mail from Dayspring, i want to share it with you, it may be your bless, maybe you bumped to my blog this day, right now, just to read this message, God is calling you.

God has called Each of us to serve Him in the place He has us. In His eyes we all have a ministry. Many serve Him in a local church through a variety of ministries, such as music, teaching, youth work, or by being a part of the church staff. Others serve on the mission field, on the job, at school, or at home.

God knows you and He knows your heart
desires to serve Him. You are someone that He will use to make a difference, to share His love, and to touch the hearts of others. What has qualified you for this high privilege of being used by Him? Is it your talents, your personality, your education, your influence, or your resume? It is none of these; rather, it is the response of your heart toward Him. God is always searching for those whose hearts are yielded to Him so that He can work mightily through them.

Sometimes we can be led to think that God's work is dependent upon us, upon what we do, and upon what we know. The truth is that God wants us to be totally dependent upon Him. He is the Treasure, we are the vessels; He is Vine, we are the branches; He is the Living Water, we are the channels through which He flows.

The apostle Peter was someone who needed to learn this important truth. Jesus taught him the futility of trying to get results through his own efforts by allowing him, an expert fisherman, to labor all night and come up empty. Afterward, when He followed Jesus' word to cast out into the deep, Peter pulled in a catch that was beyond his dreams.

As His servant, remember that your ministry is His idea and not yours. He is the One who knows you, who has called you, and who has equipped you to serve Him. Remain true, remain faithful, remain restful, and remain totally dependent upon Him.

God is not looking for those who are clever, but those in whom He can be wise; He is not looking for those who are talented, but for those to whom He can be all sufficient; He is not looking for those who are powerful, but for those through whom He can be almighty.

It is our prayer at DaySpring and me that God will encourage you today as you faithfully serve Him, and that He will use you to bring encouragement to others in a special way during Clergy Appreciation Month.

"FOR THE EYES of the Lord search back and forth across the whole earth, looking for people whose hearts are perfect toward Him, so that He can show His great power in helping them..." 2 CHRONICLES 16:9 TLB

Now, Paypal Indonesia available to receive and withdraw money!!

current mood: could never been better

Selama ini untuk pencairan paypal di Indonesia biasanya menggunakan jasa third party, yaitu dengan memakai virtual office, kemudian verified paypal di bank luar negri, dengan menggunakan panduan dari paypal ebook dengan virtual bank, dll yang kesannya merepotkan dan berputar-putar.
Berita ini sebenarnya belum oficially launched by Paypal, tapi beberapa rekan yang memang bergelut di dunia Paypal sudah memberikan info mengenai this great news. HERE Syukurlah Paypal sekarang sudah membuka ccount withdraw bagi Indonesia walau masih terbatas VISA credit card milik US yang dapat di verified.

Sejauh ini yang saya ketahui dapat diverified oleh Paypal adalah kartu VISA: HSBC dan ANZ. Namun kartu ini terkena charge US $5 tiap withdraw. Tetap saja hal ini merupakan titik terang bagi saudara2 pebisnis di Indonesia karena usahanya dapat go worldwide. Senangnya hati, kalau dulu cuma bisa ngiri lihat situs jual beli orang lain di eBay, sekarang anda dan saya juga bisa punya!
Hal ini juga bergantung saudara kita yang berada di tanah air, semoga tidak memanfaatkan kesempatan ini sebagai tindakan carding, bisa2 Indonesia di black list kembali.

Aaaa....i might got a heart attack! i thought i might die of happiness! the long await paypal now can be withdraw on Indonesia!! God, thank you, thank you, this is the bestest day this year!

*i need to take a deep breath, calm myself down* ..damnit, i still want to scream

Indonesia now served by Paypal with full feature support! Now Indonesian Paypal users can withdraw and receive money directly to their own credit card, with no more limitation!

the thing is paypal still not believed us, indonesian credit card, so paypal only received US based credit card VISA such as Citibank, ANZ, etc.

to withdraw from CC(credit card) you will be charged $5, unless you have an US bank(free, no charge).

i wonder why Paypal suddenly made this change? dunno, maybe they decided to give us another chance? or maybe they see the potential market within another 26 countries that now can withdraw?..still a great news to us, Indonesian!

Learn to Earn Money

current mood:

Article took from cute-spot.com. I think it's useful for someone like me, and maybe this article useful for you too, Good Luck!

~~~
Most people think that if you don't have a paypal account, or a credit card, that you cannot earn online. That is so wrong. This page is going to help you earn easy cash $$$ using your website!

PayPopUp.com - I have been with this program for about 8 months now. How much do I earn? I make $50 + a day (doing nothing LOL). They always pay on time, and you can choose whether you want to recieve your payment through PayPal, Pay Check or Bank transfer! When I first started, I recieved their payments through check, and I recieved them through mail twice a month, regularly. Eventually, when my earnings grew, I decided to get them wired or bank transferred.

I really think that every site should have this, because how long can you go on updating and working on your site for nothing? I am serious, if you want to make your site last and for you to stop worrying about getting a real job, you should definitely give this a shot. I, myself, never in my wildest dreams thought I would be earning from the internet by doing something I loved, but I gave it a shot, and now I'm not regretting that I signed up! They are a very reliable and helpful company and my experience with them has been one of my greatest blessings in life.
Wanna try it out? Here is a simple guide on what to do after clicking this link HERE.

You will be brought to the PayPopUp homepage, where almost everything you see is some writing, and business talk. Don't get confused and leave yet! Do you see two tables, where the one on the left has "Advertisers" as a title, and the other one on the right, has "Publishers"?
Okay, you are a Publisher. Therefore, create an account under "Publishers".



After having done that, you will be led to a page where they ask for your name, address and further information. Do not fret! PayPopUp is a large company, trusted by millions, and they have earned their worth!
So rest assured that the information you will be handing over to them will NOT be sold, or anything of the sort.
Now, are you certain that the info you've given them is correct??? Please be careful with typos, etcetera, because the address you will be giving them is where they will send you your pay check! Now, you don't want it getting lost in the mail, do you? LOL I don't think so ;)..
Now that you are done with that, you can start logging in to your very own account, and submitting your site for approval. It only takes about half a day for it to get approved, so there is no waiting involved!
They will pay you for every paying day. In other words, every 15 days! Provided that you have already reached $50 dollars. You also have a compartment in your members area where you can see how much you have earned so far. You can also see how many "impressions" you got by the hits, and basically, you are fed with every info that you need to quench your curiousity. It's not even close to confusing! Good luck and happy money making!

Pixel art

current mood:

Pixelling. Pixel is a single point in a graphic image. With care, pixels in an image can be reproduced at any size without the appearance of visible dots or squares; but in many contexts, they are reproduced as dots or squares and can be visibly distinct when not fine enough. Here can you see my work of pixelling:


I like trying something new. These pixels were made in my free time,and i even got some money from these. There was a website that need freelance pixel artist, so i applied to them and it turned out i accepted! The company is in Jakarta and me, in hero city, so we never actually meet. The business going with they request pixel with some theme and i made the pixel, then after it was done i sent them through e-mail, and when they accepted they paid me through transfered to my account. This is the first online business i am doing. I love it! Some of my other pixels can be found on Mehompy You should try mehompy, it is a perfect place for someone that loves pixel or cute things!

The people i worked with are nice, they're good people and i am such a lucky girl to meet them!

Desktop Wallpaper

These wallpapers made by me, the first one was made when i had my free time, and the second one made because i entered magazine contest.

This one is named Children are angels living among us. Based on Precious Moments illustration made by Sam Butcher, Gloria and Pat.




The second one is Samadhi of The lotus Yoga. I love doing yoga! When i entered the Concept magazine(design magazine) contest, i can only think about one of my hobby, yoga.



Now, i know that my design still need to improve :) so any comments will do.

Card Invitation for my cousin :)

current mood:

Yesterday, my cousin phoned me, she need a card design for her sweet seventeen birthday party and so I decided to help her with my design card.
The design process was fun, i figured that my lil sis is very like to shop for clothes esp dress. That inspired me, i wonders how to make a card that looks like a dress. So i draw a dress first then simplicied the dress to form a card.

The decoration is using floral motif and divided into 2 section. First the up section is where the flowers put and the lower section is where the stems are. And as for colors, i used soft, warm colors as babypink, chocolate and a little bit of green.

When we down to Nothing, God is up to something

Dear guys, i want to share my thought;
Aku pernah baca buku rohani tentang kesaksian seseorang. Di dalam bukunya Yesus berkata kepada orang tersebut; BANGUN, HIDUP, DAN NIKMATILAH HIDUP.

Kalimat itu berbicara supaya jangan menyia-nyiakan hidup yang sudah diberikan dan ditebus oleh Tuhan.

Dan kalimat itu pula sangat mengena terutama kepada saya.
Saya, yang saat ini pusing tujuh keliling dengan hidup saya, bingung merencanakan hidup, apakah mengejar impian atau sekolah kembali ataukah malah membantu usaha ortu.
Karena terlalu bingung apa yang ingin dilakukan malah 'hang' jadinya tidak melakukan apa-apa...belum lagi tekanan dari lingkungan sosial, keluarga, teman2, ..yang satu berkata sekolah aja lagii..atau...ya harus mulai dijalani kan atau...lama-lama kalau begitu ntar jadi beban orang tua loh..aduhh pusing pusing. Dipikir terus juga masih gak tahu2 maw jadi apa...karenanya saya hanya bisa pasrah sekarang, apapun yang terjadi, terjadilah menurut kehendak Tuhan...When we down to nothing, God is up to something.

Saya sering berpikir apa ada ya rekan-rekan yang bernasib sama dengan saya? Semoga uneg2 saya ini membantu, kamu tak sendirian di dunia ini, masih ada Renni yang sama2 pusing dengan kamu hehehe tetaplah percaya dengan Tuhan Yesus, Dia memiliki rencanaNya buat masing2 kita semua!

Have a blessed day!

Ichi Rittoru no Namida / One Litre of Tears / A Diary with Tears

current mood:

Have you ever heard of One Litre of Tears?


Genre: Drama
Total Episodes: 11

This beautifully moving j-drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on? She lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears” has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.

Aya’s only wish was “to live.” By carefully depicting Aya’s earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, “One Litre of Tears” wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing.”—-Fuji TV

I just watched the movie and the movie made me think about my life. I don't have strong will like Aya, I don't have any single clue of what i'll become or what do i want to become. Everyday i think more and more that i don't have any passion and my life may become useless. And so when i watched the movie...i am moved, Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing! I must go strong! I must learn to value my life! I must take a step foward, brave, welcoming to the new unknown world. Simply, i must wake up, live and enjoy my live.

Pergilah Ke Mana Hati Membawamu -Va' Dove Ti Porta Il Cuore

Perkenalkan, Nama saya Renni.

Saya ini seorang wanita muda, berusia 23 tahun saat ini, syukurlah, memiliki keluarga yang baik dan baru saja lulus kuliah saya di bidang desain.

Saya memiliki masalah yang mungkin dihadapi oleh tiap manusia muda, 'hendak menjadi apakah seterusnya saya ini?' Hari ini ketika sedang browsing dengan tenang, saya menemukan satu buku yang cocok dengan kondisi saya.

Pergilah Ke Mana Hati Membawamu -Va' Dove Ti Porta Il Cuore
by Susanna Tamaro

Dan kelak. di saat begitu banyak jalan

terbentang di hadapanmu

dan kau tak tahu jalan mana yang harus kau

ambil, janganlah memilih dengan

asal saja, tetapi duduklah dan

tunggulah sesaat. Tariklah napas

dalam-dalam, dengan penuh kepercayaan,

seperti saat kau bernapas di hari pertamamu di dunia ini.

Jangan biarkan apa pun mengalihkan

perhatianmu, tunggulah dan tunggulah lebih lama lagi.

Berdiam dirilah, tetap hening, dan dengarkan hatimu.

Lalu, ketika hati itu bicara, beranjaklah,

dan pergilah ke masa hati membawamu...

Saya perlu merenung dan berdiam diri dahulu dari keramaian. Semoga saja saya dapat dengan segera menemukan jati diri saya dan makna hidup saya di dunia ini.

Follow Your Heart -Va' Dove Ti Porta Il Cuore
by Susanna Tamaro

And someday. when there are so many ways

spread in front of you

and you don't know which way to go,

don't just pick any

old way, but sit down and

wait for a moment. Take a deep

breath, with confident,

just like when you first breath in your

first day in this earth.

Don't let anything shift

your attention, wait, and wait a little bit longer.

Be silent, keep in silence, and listen to your heart.

Then, when the heart talk, get up,

and follow where your heart leads you...

I don't know why, but it makes me want to cry when i read this. I still struggle with my life, so many decisions to make and i am afraid to take wrong decisions. what my heart told me? i can't listen to it! I don't hear a thing!....please, i need some time alone to hear what my heart told me.

from the girl at the crossroads of life
