Happy Easter.

Just wanna say Happy Easter to everyone, may the Easter spirit will always reside in our heart. "We are the reasons that He gave His life".

I just have a short visit to Denpasar. My colleague and I conducted General computer audit for one of clients at Denpasar. I thought it would be a chance to have a holiday in Bali. Guess what, couldn't do anything except work, started to work at 8.00am until 10.00 pm. No wonder, it was only three days. It should be longer than that, but the client budget for IT audit was limited so we had to do the review as efficient as we could. Fortunately, the client could cooperate reasonably well in providing data.

I think I start to enjoy my job, I encounter a lot of new things on the way I do my task. Thank's God for this job.

The storm will pass.

That was the last saturday reflection in our daily bread. It has refreshed my heart from what I've been through last week. Last week was the worst week I've ever had since I came back to Jakarta. So overwhelming with the situation. I haven't really familiar with the work but was chased by due date, tiring and stress with the traffic. Then my wallet was stolen when I took city bus to the office. I lost my atm card, ID card and driving license. Just so frustated, every unpleasant things happened at the same time. One problem hasn't been solved, came another problem.

Then on last saturday quiet time has given my spirit back. And what just happened has reminded me about Him. I realised since I started to work last month, I was so overwhelming with working stuff and began to reduce my quiet time. Hence, my relation also getting further and further from God. Until last Saturday I tried to comprehend what the rationale behind this incident, I want to thanks God I experienced these. By this situation, I was drawed back to Him again. It also reminded me how to set my priority in managing my time.

YOU ARE MY ALL IN ALL

You are my strength when I am weak,
You are the treasure that I seek,
You are my all in all.

Seeking you as a precious jewel,
Lord, to give up, I’d be a fool,
You are my all in all.

Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is your Name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is your Name.
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,
Rising again — I bless your Name.
You are my all in all.

When I fall down, you pick me up,
When I am dry, you fill my cup.
You are my all in all.

Sydney in memory: My last Bondi - Coogee coastal walk

The following pics were taken on 21th December 2004 when my friend, Weni, had a visit to Sydney from Melbourne, before we both went back to Indonesia. Windy and I took her to have a coastal walk from Bondi beach to Coogee beach. We really had a good time along the walk.

Ended at Coogee beach

Starting point - Bondi Beach 

Coogee - Coastal Walk 

It is often not so easy at the beginning.

It has been a few weeks since I started working at PWC. Until now I am still struggling with the work, because I have not had any experiences in this area, except from the little knowledge, which I got from my last semester lectures. The nature of audit job always need to make contact with clients. I often have difficulties to communicate with a new person. Moreover, not all clients' employees have a positive point of view to Auditing work. They often see audit as finding out their mistakes, and make them look awful. In fact, auditors try to fix weaknesses in their current system, so they can run their business more properly in the future.

In addition to that, I also have struggle with the technical knowledges and the procedure to audit. In fact, every inexperience new employees are given a basic training for this, except in my case. Hmmm, I wonder whether only me that face these difficulties at the starting point.

However, I am really thanks God that He always gives a comfort when we are in tough situation. I was encouraged by His words at last wednesday quiet time topic, which is "Little by little". In Exodus 23:30 says, "Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possesion of the land". In the reflection says, Israelites seemed frustated to believe that they would be given the promise land by God, because so many obstacles that they faced. Though, God did not ask them to do it all at once.

This situation make me remember the first time I went to college, the first time when I started to work after graduate from my first degree and the first time when I arrived at Sydney. All of them were very hard at the beginning. Thanks God, I could cope with the situations little by little and they were ended with happy ending stories although some of them took time. I hope this time will also like that.

God promises us a victory in our life, but He never says we will get it immediately. He wants us to learn and tackle our life obstructions step by step. One thing that important to be remembered whatever our situations He always there for us.
