I got so many wonderful people around me that're working together tirelessly. Thank you everyone for arranging, preparing and supporting this event :)

This one song stuck in my head (like veeeryy stuck haha): Sungai Sukacita, that's why I used part of it as my title. Reminded that His river of joy will flow through unstoppably.
During holiday, my fight to keep my faith has been through another up and down journeys. Gratefully, He grabbed my hands and strongly 'woke' me up to keep guarding my heart and life, moreoever relationship with Him.

This time, I planned to make a short post just for an update and share some news about my life recently (berasa artis) so I might take a look at my 2012 life trip in the end of the year and do some evaluation :D

Last thing, another daily devotion, a great message from 1 Timothy 4, with a title "The Great Apostasy" (NKJV)
You can read it by yourselves, but whay I want to highlight is the fact that Paul encouraged Timothy to "exercise yourself toward godliness(verse 7), because "bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come(verse 8)

Never fail to remind me over and over again

Last thing, 1 Tim 4:16
16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. (NIV)

Personally, it's another great encouragement to keep guarding my life, to test and examine what I teach or share to other people (impartation) and also to persevere in them.

Related with 1 Corinthians 9:27
 27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

Disqualified: adokimos (96) has the idea of 'not standing the test' or 'not approved' (in Paul's letters: by Christ)

Let's be prepared in season and out of season, so that we are not refused by God after we do the works. Small things matter :)
