Wish I have more hours in a day..! still, I'm thankful for the given twenty-four :)

Been thinking a lot of jangan lepaskan lately. It means Don't let go (release) in Bahasa Indonesia. I was listening to Sari Simorangkir's Kaulah Harapan; everyone has a song of his life, I believe this could very well be mine. These two words hit me as the song went on repeat mode one morning. The last line that Sari kept singing towards the end is like the cap phrase, in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, for me: Kaulah harapan dalam hidupku

It means You are the hope in my life.

I know this post is very out of the blue..ah, it might seem random but it's all really in my heart and what I wanna share.

My love language is Words (a quiz on facebook confirmed it, lol...nah, I've always known all along that I am one who feels very loved and encouraged by words) and I'm a very "language person". This week, I'm amazed at how God has always been using words to boost my confidence, to show more of His love, to lift me up..even in different languages. It touches me in that He is sensitive to know which love language we respond to the most, and use that exact one to speak to us. He is the ultimate Lover.

Back to my point.. many close ones would know I'm stretched during this period of time and what keeps me going is knowing that I have hope in God. He is my HOPE. As I found myself having more to hold and balance, there have been times when I asked Him why am I doing all that I'm doing and I would be reminded that it is not why, but who I am doing it for. It is Him. He is The Reason.

He would come and tell me, Lynn, don't give up. Keep going, never give up! It's hard not to be reminded of it because it is my life's message. It is on my iPod, it is on my bible. Lynn, never give up! I wake up telling myself that, I go to sleep telling myself that.

So I'm spreading this message around, I think I always have been. I shared with a longtime girlfriend mid this week on my experience and told her to not give up on her job. I have been telling a dear member these couple of weeks to not give up on finding a good job.

I'm seeing more and more of it now. My whole life has been this and I think it will be for always. I remembered in one recent service, I teared as I recalled those times in my life when I felt like giving up. I saw how Someone did not let go..and that's why I'm here.

I'm beginning to see that everything in my own life has been orchestrated to be the way it was and is and is to become because it (my life) has a message to tell others.

Lord, jangan lepaskan.
