Are You Converge ?

Another wonder of God's work has took my life by storm.
Things you don't see everyday, people you don't meet everyday, and lessons you don't get all the time.
These kind of things made me realize how amazing God is and how life meant to be enjoyed not to mention all the surprise that surpasses my thinking !

Before you think I've gone crazy here, I'm going to spare you the deets.

So my sister told me to attend this business workshop with the international speaker from the states which seemed quite okay at the time. Then I started to save some money so I can attend it but once I got the money and ask more details about it I have this second thought of how it isn't necessarily important to spend my money on this workshop. But then my sis and my group leader encourage me to do it.

Start from day one to day three I am constantly surprise of how good the workshop is, how wonderful the people are, and the excellent service they give is just superb !

Brett Johnson the speaker is so kind, warm, gentle, funny and also a remarkable speaker. He came with his wife Lyn who's just as kind as he is, soft spoken but also sharp, not to mention generous too.
One thing I notice immediately is how humble they are. And wherever they go they always make room for others. 

Lyn and Brett

Jari the mentor at my table is just marvelous. I couldn't forget her glowing eyes and gleaming smile the first time I met her, I take that by heart.

And the more I get to know her the more amaze I am. She has this simple yet a very meaningful dream. Since she like to build and decorating houses, she and her husband Jasper really want to have several nice houses spread across the nations so every time their guests come they don't have to think about accommodation. The same thing apply to missionary who doesn't have excess money to enjoy a nice holiday. So they can relax for a bit.

Jasper and Jari

After attending only one day of the workshop I finally know what I should do in life, it's like the icing on the top of the cake. How can I expect more ?

But knowing me and knowing my God I should expect more and more again hahah...

It turns out that some part of my life has already converge and its my career and creativity. Another thing that has been converged in my life is my calling. Sweet !

Institute Team

me giving testimony

Since some of you might not familiar with the word convergence allow me to explain the meaning of it.
If you look in the dictionary convergence is: "to direct toward a common center".
There are four aspects that we need to integrate before we achieve convergence and those are your Career, Community, Creativity, and Calling.

Don't think the story end at the workshop cause before the workshop end one of the trainer Garrett actually two, the other one is Janet asked me whether I can join them for the rest of their trip. I absolutely jump at the opportunity :D

So we went to Ubud for the day trip where I get to know the rest of the team. Needless to say they're as fabulous as their leaders !
We were bond together in the very short trip they had.
It never occurred in my mind that I can be so close with the boys by exchanging mega* silly jokes. We even speak in the same language aha !

All my life I've met a lot of good looking guys with good taste too but I never met one single guy with a modest attitude till I met the boys. It's like a breath of fresh air in the midst of this not so sane world.

The next day we had lunch and walk in the traditional market continue with a little adventure in the small rocky river in the hotel.
The last day before some of the team heading home we decided to go for a white water rafting and it turns out mega fun !

Nothing is coincidence in God and I'm glad He has brought this wonderful team along with joy and love.
