I have one update: I am currently on the plane, and no other but towards Frankfurt. (Well technically I'm on my way to Doha, transit and then to Frankfurt. But yeah, Germany....)
It's been a long roll-coaster ride. But today is the day.
I can't be more thankful. To Him alone. My praises to His kind loving grace. Hallelujah glory to God!
The departure is immediate, almost in a rush, but it's okay.
I've a feeling yesterday that today gonna be it. So I packed my things and make my farewells, and return to Nana's house.
Arrived late at 11' and Dad is already asleep.
Talking with Matt, chatting with Manda, and VN-ing Jasson has been the norm multitask routine, and then I hit the shower late af 2'
The next morning, today's mornin, wake up, hug my dad. We ate breakfast, and they went to the market to buy ingredients for beef rendang.
As the rendang is cooking, the phone call rings in, and the news broke.
My departure is immediate, today, this very day at 18.10, today, 17 December 2025.
And it's almost 10' am. We need to be there by 15'
So, i panicked and have nothing left to do, but to hug my dad.
And I cried, while saying: I just met you this morning, eat breakfast, and I thought we could chat some more spend more time for a bit while. But no, the meetup is just 6 hours and next, I'm at airport, boarding and recording the farewells with ESA's managements.
Huff ... A long day, and just had my meal, a beef stew. And it reminds me of the rendang I just ate for lunch, the one my dad cooked for us.
This entry is filled with tears, but it's a mixed happiness and also sadness, and a tad bit of fear.
As I ride the drive to airport, mùshī Sumito rings in, and we talked a bit, and he prayed for me.
It's been in my mind as of late, these past few weeks.
I believe that going to Germany isn't just a mere option for working abroad, but also a bigger challenge of testifying my life as a testimony for proclaiming Christ' works in my life. To His glory, an opportunity with heavier responsibility to be a witness of Christ.
And it makes me scared a bit too much to the point of feeling pain inside.
So, here I go, the dance is down there and I'm all alone, I'm not, for I believe God is with me, always. But now the real adventure begins, it's not a drill no more. Ready or not here I come, be with me O' LORD, empower me to preach the Gospel, living it to make my whole life an opened Bible, a living testimony, proclaiming Christ' to the poor and the lost.
To God be all glory, in Jesus mighty name I take this leap of faith.
