Early in my editorial career in religious publishing, I was responsible for a line of books referred to as “self-help.” The label troubled me because it seemed contrary to everything Christian.
The idea of self-help is popular because it supports the notion that we are in control. In the words of the poem “Invictus”: “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”
But we’re not! Eventually something happens that reminds us how out-of-control life is, and no self-help book can help us make it right.
But we’re not! Eventually something happens that reminds us how out-of-control life is, and no self-help book can help us make it right.
Thankfully, Christians are not in the business of self-help. Quite the opposite! To become a Christian requires that we admit our helplessness and acknowledge our total dependence on God. “Without Me, you can do nothing,” said Jesus (John 15:5).
The ancient Israelites were always getting in trouble for trusting human strength rather than God’s (Jer. 17:5). Yet even after their failures, the Lord said, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord” (v.7).
When especially difficult circumstances or strong temptations invade our lives and remind us of our powerlessness, we have an all-powerful God who works on behalf of those who trust Him.
No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim;Our trust is all thrown on Jesus’ name:In this our strong tower for safety we hide;The Lord is our power, “The Lord will provide.” —Newton
Touch down at Dublin Airport, grab a quick lunch, go to Hertz to get our rental car, check-in Hotel with very very nice room :)
Now,it is 6 in the morning and I'm sitting in front of computer, sending sms,chatting,and blogging. Been up few times since 11pm,2am,4am and by 5am, I have given up to try to sleep again!This is the 3rd time I've been in Ireland and as expected I still have the jetlag till today. I guess I will only "recover" by Wednesday night and the great thing is I will fly back on Saturday morning and another jetlag cycle begin :S!
Putting this aside,I'm having a great time here.I went to Powerscourt at Wicklow which have a great garden house. The scenery along the way is very nice,yellowish green, those color you will expect for Fall. The weather is nice, cold with clear sky and you can feel the warm of the sun!
mungkin karena saking rutinnya idup....semua berjalan as per normal...ngga ada yg super exciting...or karena kitanya yg udah numb/kurang appreciate akan hal2 kecil dalam hidup?
minggu depan, daku bakal terbang ke Ireland for biz trip, karena udah pernah pergi, excitementnya dah berkurang banyak hehe...but anyway, it is a good break or at least I hope balik dari sini, my project can really kick off fast!!
As for my new "chapter" in life, i'm better keep this for myself, maap kalo ada pembaca yg kecewa wakakaka...
