"Me Time", Time to Turning God

"Me time" isn't a stranger and that word is the most heard when someone feels exhausted and needs to put "me time" and stay away from daily boring and tiring activities. In Japan, there is a new innovation in building a self-service cafe and restaurant that I forgot where the news was and lastly, I read it on Instagram a couple of months ago. That place gives you to put your time and enjoy "me time". 

What do usually you do when you spend "me time"? I'd like to make a short trip by averaging 15-20 miles (24-32 kilometers) in 1-2 hours by motorcycle and watching sports events, especially American football and basketball. You know that I'm a big American sports fan, a football most' fanatic fan, and spending to watch college football and the NFL. I would say, football is the most beautiful sport in the world that is played in the United States and the Super Bowl is the biggest sports matchup that must be watched. Football time! which is the most energy to scream out and enjoy the whole game. I love football! That's my "me time" to watch a football matchup on Youtube and MolaTV, which is an Indonesian television streaming that broadcasts the American sports package, like NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NHL, WWE, and UFC. 

"Me time", what do you think? It puts your time, but I say it is different. That's God's time that you should need it. You probably go by feeling anxious, exhausted, bored, angry, and any feelings, then you go by yourself. I fully understand how you feel. Butuh sendiri (need alone), which is the most that you said on facing the situation maybe you don't like it. However, God has known what you feel, and He offers you to ask for help and pray so you aren't being able to feel anxious in Philippians 4: 6. God really waits for you in Jeremiah 29: 12-13. You have an overload of working and doing these daily activities then you go by unfeeling happy that's why God wants to hear you and comes to you, know that you're not alone and you are with Him right now. And also, God is open to anything you want to request, and He will hear your request in 1 John 5: 14. That makes sure you will be provided what for He has provided. 

Me time, you mean that time to turn to God and don't leave Him. Since God has known you are tired and He suggests you needed to surrender it to Him, so He is being able to fight for you in Exodus 14: 14. That all belongs to Him, and He will work the best for you how He has promised. I see how God cares for you in any way and any you feel. 

So, if you want to go by yourself, a reminder of you, you aren't going by yourself, but you are going to turn to God as you really need Him. That's what I called true of "me time". Me time is God's time. 

Don't give up! Go to turn to God! Trust God every time, any you feel.

The Idea of Feminism In the Church

A veiled woman lighting up a candle in the Orthodox Church, source: Adobe Stock Roman Catholic Pope Francis appeared a 60-minute on CBS's live-streaming interview with a female reporter, Norah O'Donnell. She was curious in a question towards on him,  " I'm curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the church ?" Pope Francis simply, saying, " No ." O'Donnell seemed to trying to push on him about her idea of the progressive and reformation in the Catholic Church. But, thanks God, Pope was strong defending his faith.  This is a 60-minute interview has opened that in fact the pressure of the church reformation has been increasingly happening today. We heard that some churches trying to allow its LGBTQ movement within church life, like the Unitarian church. And, I think some churches have accepted the female ordination, but usually it is Protestant church b

Women, Modesty, and Veiling

(Veiling of women in different era, source: Diaqnoz.Az) " I am Orthodox and I do not agree with veiling " on a comment that recorded on Instagram while posting a reel of female Orthodox veiled at a church and monastery.  I am Orthodox and I do agree with veiling . So, why? The first place, that people may think that we are "sexist" or "pervert" as controlling on female clothing appearances. That's possible because we live in a modern era which is the female rights are more honourable and important in its society. Many girls are independent raised well and having same chances of working at secularism typically careers. But, as Orthodox Christians, who we know that we are about 2.000 years living to equip our Christ looks like in the modern era, which that has been fallen down, especially rising up feminist's movement. The feminism is mainly different from what women have fought for equality gender as surely their aim is to dominate and create the &q

The Pascha, Life Bond, and SO SPECIAL! Orthodox Christianity!

Holy Fire in Jerusalem We typically celebrate the Easter - however that the Orthodox people generally saying that's Pascha - but I felt like that was so special that I celebrated the Pascha in a different Christianity tradition which was unfamiliar to myself, being to live in the country who well-known about Western Christianity. We celebrate the Pascha on a different calendar, it is Julian Calendar so many people wonder that why we are being late celebrate the Pascha and even the Christmas, a week late (between 12-13 days on Julian and Gregorian calendars) from the Western Christians. But, in certain times in history, we celebrate on the same date like 2017 we celebrate the Pascha together with Roman Catholics and it will be happening next year! The Eastern Orthodox is the holy and first church to just celebrated a blessed holy week in last week! Unfortunately, I was unlucky in that schedule as I had a five-day training during the holy week schedule, that caused I had to miss mult
