To my boaz

On the other side of the story,

there's a little girl who loves a fairy tale and she believe that one day, she will live happily ever after. as she grow old and become a woman, she has this dream: that one day, she will walk down the aisle saying the two words to his prince in front of the crowds.

love doesn't miss a thing. she never know what God has plan it to her life long ago-- that her magical moment can happen in just a glimpse of her faithfulness, and in her waiting... God finally answered her prayer in unexpected place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

faithful.

"Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?"


one of the hardest season is waiting, but being faithful at the same time is another thing. the test of faithfulness comes in the test of time, mostly in a moment of choice. but its not just end in there, the test continue until its done.

Until you finally see His purpose.


I can choose to go and follow what i want in my life but I choose not, instead I choose to stay with her even though I know that I will be a stranger to that place. I have a blessing to her to go home and find a man so I can experience to love again, "staying with her doesn't give me a benefit" she trying to convince us with these word so that we can go and leave her. Orpah did, she kissed her good bye and Naomi was waiting on my response as she expect me to leave her. but instead of going back, I embraced her tightly and held on. Then finally, she gave in. We traveled on together to Bethlehem, but along the way there's something that crossed in my mind, thoughts like "what if staying with her means loosing great opportunity and going with her, it means facing uncertainty", "can I finish what I started?, can I rejoice and find joy even in a barren land, can I find contentment when there will be no harvest?". I admit, doubt started to feed my mind and tempted to go back and quit but as I see the glimpse of the unknown land and stare at her face, I knew that I already set my heart on it no matter what the cost. as time pass by,

We often ask   “how are you?” to someone when we want to start a conversation but someone told me, instead of asking “how are you?” how about asking them “how’s your heart?” because she said that this question can go deeper and make the conversation longer. And I think it’s a good way to start this letter. So how’s your heart today my friend? It’s been a while since we greet each other and ask these questions. I hope we can catch up with each other sometime soon and hear your stories once again. Last time I saw you laughing with your friends, the other time you are walking alone. Yet you are still wearing those smile and I like the way how you smile when you greeted someone. Somehow, it can lift up discouraged soul. Yesterday I saw you again, this time with your family. You are having chitchat with them while eating at your favorite restaurant and I knew that you enjoy and savor the moment with them. Then the following day I heard you how you encourage the stranger not to

I t’s been a long tiring day my dear because our journey into the promise was too long and the battle we fight is not yet over. I know, there are those moment that you ask,  “how long will I wait? How long will it take? How long will I endure? How long will this season last?  You long for the good old days because you feel that you are no longer growing. The progress was too slow, the process was too long. There are those days that you are tempted to complain and compare your situation to others. There are times that you lose your battle within, your feelings surpass your passion. Your praise report now is getting worn out. You no longer hold the reason of your joy. There are those moments that you cry out to God but it seems like nothing’s happening, and there are those thoughts that you think your works are in vain. But  please-- keep fighting, fight until the end to fulfill your purpose, to finish your duty. Please don’t stop until you see the results. Don’t quit

You made it! My beloved, well done to all the chapters you finished. Well done to the season you have been through.  It's not easy to endure it, but seeing you standing still, that's what makes your story more beautiful.  You know what? I really appreciate you for not giving up on your calling despite of all those voices you hear, telling you “you are not enough, you can't make it”. I also appreciate you for all the battles you have fought, though you think you lose all the battles, but you really did great! You fought the good fight of faith. And that's what makes you amazing.  Thank you for trying it again every time you fail, i know, that it's not easy to start again but you still keep on going! And I am proud of you. Thank you for holding tight to the promise even though your losing your hope at times. It seems like it is impossible to happen but you keep on waiting until you will see the result. Thank you for choosing to depend on me everyday. Yes,
