I Am Different

Couldn't find any better title for this post
During my childhood, I know that I am different from other people
Of course we are, it's too bad that we often dislike our own selves and try to be other people.
You are allowed to be fascinated and inspired by many people or a certain someone, but YOU ARE YOU.

In 2010, I made a Tumblr account (originally with different address) and 2 of my seniors were using this soy soy thing.
One is Soy Valiente: I Am Fearless (Ci Monica Christy Wibawa) and another one is Soy Amada: I Am Loved (Ci Kherina Suryadi)
So, being young and easily fascinated, I was like: This soy thing is cool! I'mma make one for myself with a theme of "being different", and that's what I've been using up to now: Soy Diferente (and found out that Soy Diferente is an Indian song or album something :|)

Through this screen name, I want to declare to everyone who reads my post or just looks at the title, that YOU ARE UNIQUE, so don't try to be anyone else. You are no accident and you are not born to be someone else. God did not make a mistake when He made you, so run your own race.


I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well. - Psalm 139:14

This year, it's like that God strengthens the foundation of my life that we've been working out together so that it becomes more and more solid :). God confirmed many things about God's anointing, my calling and passion.
Through experience I had, through people around me and through sermons I watched.

The latest sermon series from Elevation Church is called "Sticks and Stones", the second part perfectly described how God called us differently and also confirms my reason of taking "I Am Different" theme.

I can't post the video here, so please check out this link: Sticks and Stones
I believe it's gonna bless you, so just spare 50 minutes of your life to watch this powerful message.

Steven Furtick and Elevation Church

If you notice, lately I kind of "promoted" things about Elevation Church and Steven Furtick
No, I'm not a part of their marketing team and I'm OBVIOUSLY NOT from Charlotte, NC
This post doesn't consist of my review about them, sorry if I don't really write "professional" reviews about churches and their movements haha

You can check the Lead Pastor's website here
or you can visit the Elevation's website through this link that I visit often

Anyway, you might be wondering how and when I found them
Honestly, as I always told everyone (yea, some people did ask about it. Thank you for asking) before this, I really forgot what happened on that day
But a few days ago I just remembered how it was

I opened my tumblr as usual, to find some inspirations, refresh myself and look for some good readings (I have tumblr? Of course I do hahaha. Click here willingly if you want, please)
Okay, let's put aside the promotions I did previously

Then I read a post of this note:
Your kingdom is forever
Your love will last forever
All glory, all honor
Unto our God forever

Being curious, I googled it and found this song, Unchanging God:

Which then led me to explore more about Steven Furtick and Elevation

I found that the sermons are powerful even though some accusations and controversies were directed towards Elevation (well, if you stand for something true and powerful such as Word of God, you'll get attacked even more)

Personally, the songs and sermons I listened helped me during my "Time and Season" of preparation :) (without altering the Word of God into any other prosperity movement etc etc)

Please enjoy them as I do a lot of times :P

You must clear misunderstandings that happened, but don’t expect too much that others would fully understand and accept it

Tan, Indra (2011)

Ga semua perasaan dalam diri bisa di jelaskan ke orang lain.

Codhielicious (2011)

Even all great changes in the world starts with a small change in us

Tan, Indra (2011)

Not everyone may accept you thoroughly, then why bother pleasing them by not being yourself? #thinksimple

Tan, Indra (2011)

I’m not ashamed of being happy of mere small things. I even learn to be a kid who’s grateful for everything in life

Tan, Indra (2011)

Kasih Tuhan itu tidak bersyarat, tetapi prinsip-prinsip Tuhan itu bersyarat.

Radjaguguk, Alvi (2011)

Doing everything right, noone sees. Doing something wrong, everyone sees… Well, that’s life. So what? :)

Tan, Indra (2011)

Moving on is not moving on if you’re still bound by your past. Just let it go. Got it? LET IT GO

Tan, Indra (2011)

It’s nothing about my ‘feeling’ nor about my pride. Surely I just have to admit it, I hate being bound by worthless bonds.

Tan, Indra (2011)

Helping one who thinks he knows everything is much more complicated than helping who doesn’t know anything

Tan, Indra (2011)

Some bonds are born to lift you up to higher and higher level, yet some are merely distracting you from achieving your own goals. Be wise, pals..
