Hello Again
WOW!
It's been two years since the last time I posted my writing. Time does really flies without we even noticing it. So many things happened in the last two years in my life. I graduated high school and started to become the "real" college student. I took Communication as my major, with Integrated Marketing Communication as the concentration. Well, to be honest with you guys, I don't really like talking to people. I'm that kinda person who is very introvert, especially when it comes to meeting and knowing new people. So, it's kinda weird for me at first because everyone in my class is very talkative. But as time goes on, I tried to blend in and I think for now, I'm not that shy anymore. Yeaaaayyyy!
As I mention earlier, so many things happened in my life. When I entered college, I started to do something that I've never before. Yes. I never did it before I hit college. I started to volunteer-ing, either at campus or at church. And, let me tell you, it's really fun and exciting at the same time. My first time was being an Internal Fund Crew at my campus annual events (Communication Avenue 2014). I found it fun but exhausting at the same time. This year, I become the creative division for the same events. If you know me well enough, I am not creative. at all. AT ALL. I didn't even have the intention to join the committee as well this year, since I wanted to focus on my study, but my friend said that she needed me to help her organize the rundown and stuffs (she's the creative coordinator, btw). Long story short, I decided to join and help her. Flashback a little bit, before I join this committee, my other friend also asked me to help her on her event. She asked me to be on the Sponsor Division which I have no idea about it at all. It was really tiring and depressing that I feel like I just want to quit. At that moment, I was very depressed and feel like I can't take it anymore. I asked myself, "what am I doing?" "why am I doing this?" "what do You want me to learn from this?".
But, thank God, the event went well. And I'm so happy that IT IS DONE. No more pressure. :)
When we're in deep pressure, somehow we just can't think well and clear. At that moment in my life, I feel like a wanderer. I could have just say no when my friend asked me to help her. But, why did I say yes? I know that God wants to teach me something through this pressure, but sometimes, we just don't get it - why are we into it, why are we into that, and stuffs. But when we pass that pressure, we surely know that there's something God wants us to learn for it. As for me, when I became the person who was in charge for the sponsorship, I learned a lot from it, from formal talk, dealing, writing MoU, etc. Now, I'm dealing with this stuff again. As a creative crew, I'm searching a sponsorship for our upcoming P A R A D E. This time, its not that hard anymore because I already know what's gonna happen if things are going like this - or like that. I know the flow and find it very common to get a rejection. :')
What I want to tell you is this: if you feel like you're in a pressure - whatever pressure in this life - don't give up. You don't know whats gonna happen in the future. I believe that there is something that God wants you to learn in that pressure which will be very helpful for your future. The future here might not be tomorrow or next week or next month. It could be months or even years from now. And in the mean time while you're in the pressure, do not grumble. I believe if God put you into it, He will also bring you through it. Pray that God will give you the power to get through it. Because in our weakness, He is made strong.
Right now, you are right where you are supposed to be - either you're in the ups or the downs.
Why? Because...
Jesus takes control of everything that happens in our life.
All we need is surrender and believe that He has the best plans for our life.
