Story of My Life

My mind is brought to fifteen years ago, when I was ever in the border between life and death for 3 times. I fell beneath the water in Musi river, when I played in alongside the river. I had no swimming skill. Someone jumped into the water after knowing a child needed help and helped that boy to breathe the air again. I don’t know why God still give me a chance to live, but I know there’s one reason behind this.

My mind was still taken back to the terrible road between Tarutung and Sibolga, North Sumatra. That was the time I slipped away from the road and my car was about to jump into the valley. I was so afraid that time, thinking that that was my time to go. I thougt about my mother, who always love me eventhough I did not give much time to build relationship with her. I remembered when she woke up in the morning at 4, everyday, to work and sell Pempek, for the three of her children. We passed the university and working now, it’s all because of her. I imagined how hard she has been working to feed me. I thought of my friends, their laughter during fun time and our cry when we faced tough time.

Sigh…

There’s something in my heart which is crying. It’s a holy crying and I believe Holy Spirit put that so I can remember how good God’s love for my life. He died for me. Sins were taken away from my life when I said, "Yes God,come int my heart and change my life…" and those sins were put into Him so that I will be saved. He knowed he ought to do it to save life. He died for me. He died for me. Peacefulness I feel.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he guides me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul.He guides me in path of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy. You anoint my head with water; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
