Something bad turned into something good.


While I was writing the news at work the past few days I realized how much I enjoy writing. The freedom to write and clear my thoughts is seriously a sorta kinda medicine. The only thing what's stopping me to write more often is to make a start.. yeah blame my laziness.

So let me update you guys... it's almost been two weeks that I have been in Jakarta and MAN it is great. It's been awesome meeting new people and living in a new envoirment so far. Plus to see how dedicated Indonesian people are towards their job! I think they're so caught up with their deadlines that they don't know how to stop and go home. But it's crazy to see that with all the hard work and stress, they still manage to stay friendly. Take some notes you dutchies!

Anyhows.. besides the awesome things that are going on there are ofcourse challenges.. Yep, in the first two weeks. A constant battle is going on and I forget that at times. Greatful I am though, cause in this short period of time I've already learned so much. And it's craaazy to think that God allowed all that because He wants me to get to the next level. A couple steps closer. Faith growing bigger. Heart getting stronger.. YURP! I'm looking forward to improve myself to be a better servant here in JKT. And all that by His strenght and wisdom ofcourse! It is only because of His grace and nothing else. If it wasn't for Jesus I wouldn't even dare to say I could improve as a person.

I just want to encourage you guys from all the way over here if you are in some kind of trouble or struggle, keep this in your mind: God is good, even in the bad. He can open doors that no human being can open. Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Just keep praying, keep believing and keep moving forward! Stay strong because good things are on the way :)
Well that was just a small update.. I hope you guys are enjoying life as much as I do, with everything that comes along!

Love, Yin
