Freedom and Independence
19.8.06

Regarding the 17th of August, lets talk about freedom and independence. Please keep your eyes on this entry, I promise you this won't be dead boring. I won't talk about Indonesia's history or whatsoever.

Ok. Let's start first with how I spent my day. This afternoon I went to my friend's church for Indo Nite, celebrating Indonesia's 61th anniversary. I can see they put the concept "casual celebration". From what I've seen, the members there intended to know the guests who they had invited. One word to describe it... brotherhood is an important part for them. I enjoyed it so much. So, in brief I enjoyed the show so much.

Now the important point is... I just remember that it has been one year since I was baptized in the 17th of August 2005. Just a bit of flashback, the freedom and independence that I got from that day will never go away as the time goes by. They are eternal and therefore I am so thankful.

I still recall that my friend told me after the baptism that the water had changed to blood when the pastor and I were in the pool. Of course, it is beyond your eyesight to see that. But I do believe that at that point of time I have been granted the happiness and special access (like Fiona said) to Him. And that is why, I should be free from all the things like fear, worry and sadness. Fiuh... i got that even though these past few days all those feelings badly stuck me. I myself see that they can come but can't stay any longer to destroy me slowly but surely.
