Asking and Having
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.

Priority Difference
A few days ago I was browsing for a way to protect my heels against pavement and I stumbled upon products like Solemates, Heels Above, Starlettos, etc. Most of them offer the simple idea of an attachment to make the heels surface a little wider therefore preventing them to sink in pavements or grass. I think it's simple enough so I did a little presentation to hubby
Me : Look look I found a way so my heels won't have to sink in pavements again like the last time
Hubby : Hm?
Me : *showing the pictures*
Me : See? What do you think? It looks a little awkward but I think it would work fine.
Hubby : I don't get it...
Me : Huh?
Hubby : I think it's simpler just to wear other shoes, the ones that won't need so much fuss.
Me : Huh???? I prefer this solution over that!
Oh guys... Some things they just never get...
(Straight ones, I mean ;))

my precious
One of my favorite trilogy is Lord of The Ring. Yes, all of them are amazing. It's not difficult to love it, specially if you are action movie lovers. There are knights, adventures, wars, monsters, dragons, dark lord with big red eye watching everyone, wizards (not the green one with the flying broom with lots of singing), and of course bit romantic.
For me,the best moment of the movie is when Sam tried to lift up Frodo's spirit after series of misfortune and they start to realize the task seems impossible. In the face of desperation, Sam said something to Frodo.This from LOTR second movie, The Two Towers:
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
Sometimes in our life, there are days when everything seems so wrong, when our dreams suddenly shattered, or when our believe are crumbled. Our world suddenly turned up side down. And we start to wonder how could the future be happy? How could we go back to the way it was with so much pain? Like Sam said, we need to find reasons to keep the hope high. It could be your faith, your family, your happy memories. There must be something good to holding on. Something worth to fighting for..
We hope to cherish every wonderful memories with the love one, so when the time storm is coming, we are ready. I love you my beautiful wife, Melinda.

We say hello
We are two very different persons. Our story didn't start as any other fairy tale-like couple who says they instantly click or finish each other's sentences. We met way back when we were kids, and fell in love a long time later. Six years and eleven thousand kilometers afterwards, we got married.
I think sometimes we think of how different we are compared to each other, but those differences also what ended up binding and enriches us. This will be our notes about each other and about the two of us. And with this first note, we say hello. And it might sound cheesy to write it here (or maybe I'm just trying to brighten hubby's day today) but I want to say; I love you, Mr. Putranto.
