"God will give us great things to solve, only when we are capable to solve small things in Him. Sometimes we don't see the way,that is because we haven't ask God to straighten our way to be seen and passed through. Seek God in every path, then He will straighten our way."

Recently, I experienced several moments where I was faced with many demands to fulfill. Most of that time, at first, I tried only to focus on the needs. It is normal, and nothing wrong with that. But, somehow I feel like i am running in a race at the lowest speed, no matter i have tried with all my effort. Basically I must arrange my financial fund for expenses at back home in Indonesia and at here in Berlin for a year. Meanwhile, when i was so busy in solving my problems, there came things requesting my attention. I must find persons to rent our Apartment and house in Indonesia. But, i have already been in Berlin. How do i can find them? I made an advertisement in internet, and hope that some one interested. I asked my mum to help me.
In that time of surrendering, i came to Sunday Service at the nearest church from my home in Berlin. At the end of service, there was an announcement, volunteers are needed for the Church's Open House. Me and my husband registered ourselves. I did not think much about the profit for me of being a volunteer for the church. I just do it for the good sake. Yet, my problems are still exist.
There days before my shift, i asked God at the beginning of my prayer. " God, please give me the rights to ask and to receive things. As I have nothing and be a stranger in Berlin. Here is my prayer God. I wish ........"
Nothing happened, nothing changed. My burdens are still there, waiting to be solved. At night, my husband led a Bible reading before sleeping. We keep saying, "God, please give me the rights to ask and to receive things. Here is our prayer,........"
Two day before my watch turn at the church, i remember saying to God, "God, the only thing i can offer right now, only my sincere heart to serve You. In any time and place, where i am and will be. May my turn of watch in a German Church Open House & Exhibition satisfy You. I may be the worst servant, since my German is not so fluent. Only this I can offer you. God, I rest my soul and and my mind into Your hand. May my soul rest in You."
Exactly, a day before my watch turn, my mum called from Indonesia and said that many people have called in, and wanted to rent our apartment and house. She was almost confuse on how to choose who will be the chosen one to rent. She said, it was a shock that many people called in, although we did not advertise in newspaper. Just two days after my request prayer to God, and a day before my watch turn, God gave my heart's desire. Since we already have persons renting our properties, then i can continue creating our financial budget for expenses in Indonesia and in Berlin. The rent fees are also helping me a lot.
Yesterday was my first day to serve at German Evangelism Church Open house and exhibition at the nearest church from my house. When I stepped in the church and serve there. God spoke to my heart,"God will give us great things to be solved, only when we are capable to solve small things in Him. Sometimes we don't see the way, that is because we haven't ask God to straighten our way to be seen and passed through. Seek God in every path, then He will straighten our way."
On my second day to serve at the Church Exhibition, God showed me another thing. I was surprised, that on this day, there were many people came. Today is the second of the most crowded day. I remember, once I spoke to God about my German and my sincere heart to serve. I saw He changed my limitation into something beyond human logical mind.
May God also show you, many of remarkable things in your life too.
GBU friends!
