Thank You Lord to Put Mercy in My Heart

In the past before I involved to Rawinala, I didn't know how to live for other. I was work hard only for my self. All my prayers for my needs and my family. I knew GOD love me so much and I knew God want me to love other. I believe if could be live it's only by His Grace. Before I met the children within Rawinala, my relationship was only between God and Me. I was obeying to Lord and all His words caused He is my king and owner of my life. That was all. I didn't understand what is the love mean.Love like God's love until He sacrifice his life on the cross. I realized how nasty my life in the past. Yes,..I gave my money for needy but I gave it without love.

Since I met children within Rawimala, God put mercy in my heart and this mercy give me the understanding of love. I know the truth mean of happiness. Crying out to pray for other, feel blessed and rejoice when I can help children in need. Every time I spend time and talk with these children, I always feel blessed and God Present in to my life. My prayers totally changed. I pray God to use me more and more,.... When I was see old man/woman/children begging on the bus, I pray for them cry to the Lord to bless them. I give money with love and prayer.

I have mercy in my life now and It is God's Work. Now, I know Mercy is from God and God put that in our heart. We dont have ability to create it. God put it in our heart and allow it to growing up. When I have mercy in my heart I know what I stand for on this earth. Children in need was change my life,.......I'm not bless them but these children blessed my life.........

Rawinala Birth Day Party

Ku tahu Bagaimana Wajah bapakku,.....Ku tahu bagaimana wajah ibuku

Yang seharum kembang ditaman,......Belaiannya sehangat mentari pagi

Oh,...kurasakan di dalam hidupku,.....Dan kutahu siapakah Tuhan

Yang terindah dari mimpi-mimpi,.......Kuasanya tak ada yang melebihi

Dari sgala apapun juga,.........

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tanganku adalah mataku,......Dan juga jadi telingaku

Tanganku adalah mulutku,......Sayangiku aku dengan lembut

Wahai teman sayangi aku,........Kuingin melihat dunia

Beri aku kesempatan,.........Perlakukan aku dengan kasih

I want to be a Teacher

Murti

Past ten years, some people from Rawinala walked a long way on Jalan Gatep Rt.010 RW.06 Mangga Dua to found a kid named Murti. She was born June 13, 1990. She ever studied within Rawinala for a year and she did not come anymore. Rawinala tried to get information about her. Somebody said that her mother passed away and she live with her father.

Murti is category multiple handicapped children. She has backward mentality and low vision. When Rawinala found her, she was not live with her father. She was given to other family by his father. Her father’s job is rent bicycle. His father income is not enough for their living cost. It was the reason caused he give Murti to other family.

With the help of her father, Rawinala found her. She lived at the dumping area because her foster parents work as scavenger. Murti said her new parents put her on the street every day for begging to help their financial. Rawinala asked to her parent to take Murti to Rawinala. Even her father allowed but Rawinala have to pay IDR 150.000 for murti living cost to her foster parent.

Now, Murti is growing to be a confident kid. Even she has retarded mental but she can play music well. She can play drum, angklung, gamelan and gendang (traditional music instrument). She never enforced to formal music education school. She was a winner on DKI Jakarta singing contest for blind.

She has a dream to be a music teacher. Rawinala always thank to God for give change to met Murti. The cost paid nothing compare to her happiness now.
