Renungan 15 Mei 2016

Pada tanggal tersebut saya lupa sedang merenungkan atau mendoakan apa, namun saya bersyukur bisa menemukan catatan ini lagi untuk menjaga nyala api di hati (yang kadang hendak padam). Tahun itu saya punya banyak waktu merenung di desa-desa yang tak bersinyal dan tak berlistrik. Mungkin itu salah satu faktor pemicu bisa menghasilkan tulisan-tulisan mellow seperti ini.

1. No electricity, no gadgets and lack of other facilities are not a permissive reason to be outdated, unproductive, and uncreative

2. Deadline is no longer about what comes first will be finished first. What is the most emergency or strategic must be prioritized

3. Just because something haven't been taught what haven't been tested doesn't meant it's impossible

4. Words is not just as it is

5. To be positive in attitude is not merely a choice, it's a must in order to motivate our surroundings to be more colorful and cheerfull for better world for child well being

6. No need consensus when declaring the battle toward evils, to declare your mind, and to prove something's right

7. Develop network (formal/informal, at villages/at town, at work/out of work) is vital not only to optimalize the ministry but also to balance your life

8. View is not just as it is. See wider, think deeper and you'll do more

9. Maintaning the community well is never enough. We are not common people of mediocrity. We are exist to BRING them (means: enable community to CREATE, not us create by ourselves) into the more extraordinary phase 

10. Make sure we have enough to love ourselves first before spreading our loves to surroundings to ensure we won't be collapsed while feeding people. Always eat a lot, entertain yourself a lot, pray a lot. 

11. Make sure you are good, strong, stable to be a mirror for others. You are a great mirror when no one left uncertain uncomfort worried shadows of themselves after looking at you.

12. Being opressed in whatever stages at community is a challenge to be broken, not a barrier. We are exist to influence community not to be influenced. 

13. Many people at community, even maybe those who are ideally become our partners, are difficult. Pray a lot for them. Those who are most difficult may be our greatest ally some day.
