FREE

"Jaden, please listen to me!" shouted mom. "What mom? i just want to spend time with my friends, okay. How can i be accepted in the community if you kept on holding me back from going out with them?" Jaden grudgingly answered. "Just let me go!" He shouted while grabbing his back and running away out the house to his friend's car. Once he entered the car, his friends shouted their plan which includes skipping a day of school. Jaden was worried at first, but that thought of not being accepted re-entered his mind and so he pushed away the thoughts and go on with the plan.

Hey, don't you think that this story resembles a little bit of yourself? The young energetic teenagers that has the eagerness to be FREE? Free from the rules of your parents? Free from the boringness of the subjects in school? or probably, free out of the negative thoughts of your community?

1. Free from parents

Yes, I've honestly experienced this too on my life. I've wanted to get out of the rules that my parents gave me such as that i have to have my nap, curfews, lessons and so on. Why? because my friends are telling me that they are having so much fun going out, watching movie, participating in events and more. I was actually tempted to listen to all their reasons yet one question struct me.

Who was born first, my parents or my friends? This might actually seem to be a silly question but this was actually one of the answer to the problem. Okay, yes my parents were born years before my friends does and so this means that they'll have much more life experience and more knowledge about life as a whole. Well then, this means that most of their words will be based by their experience, which i know they'll share the good stuff to their children because they want us to be a better version that they were.

But this have not answered the question on how to be free, right?

yes, that was not the whole answer. The best answer to that would be to "Give FREEDOM for your parents to train you?" huh, really why? Yes, by you giving your parents the ability to get their freedom to train you in time your parents will give you trust and the positive things that you want will be slightly easier to be given. 

Do you guys get it? I hope so, because it can really change your life.

2. Free from school

We do like to be free from school, am i right or am i right?

Well but then there are 2 choices of being free: The "right" free and the "wrong" free. 

The wrong free would be being free not foing your homework, skipping classes or school, not listening to teachers and so on. That will all be categorized as being free in the wrong way because it will lead you to a destruction and failure.

The right kind of free is to let yourself freely learn your lessons. This means that we are free to listen in class, take notes, study for exams. Why? because this freedom has a path, a path where it will take you to being successful in life and applying all the given skills in your daily life.

Well, i definitely want to do the right kind of free. Are you in?

3. Free from the negative thoughts of the community

What does this really mean? Well, do you realize that sometimes in schools people is kind of separated into the 'cool' and the 'geek' ? and when you are in one of the group for too long, you might want to get out, right?

Well, being free from this kind of community will not work if you make yourself do what the community is telling you to do like going to clubs, bullying, trying to look cool and so on. This kind of freedom will once again lead you to problems after problems.

So, how are we suppose to be free? The way for you to be free is to let yourself be your own self. When you let, that kind of freedom to enlighten from yourself than sooner or later people will acknowledge the difference in you and respect it. 

Sayings might come from the left or the right but that happens just because the group of people that are saying those words does not have the courage to let themselves be the best version of their own self.

What you should do to them is not throwing fire with fire but you must come to them and share to them how to be free. 

Well, that's basically what i can share to you all my big lovely family, i really do hope that from now on you can enjoy and live in the right kind of free. 

Happy Monday!

Audelia

Where I came from, and that is in a land far far away, where imagination runs wild. My father and mother is the king and queen of the realm. Our land is a very dangerous magical place. Filled with ogres, giants, flying monkeys, wicked witches of the south, east, west, and many other dangers. But it was great to fight and have an adventure with my family. We do sword fightings, archeries, flying, and many other activities. But it was a long long long long time ago. 216 years ago. Until we were all banished here in this world. So I'll start off by saying hello to everyone, it is time to reveal my true identity. 

I was born years ago, my mother couldn't make it to the WizHospital so instead i was born in a barn with the horses and chickens. All of my siblings were there. I am the youngest sibling among all. From the oldest is Jack, followed by Val, Kae, Bae, Eva, Mill, Jill, Bill, Maralinda, and finally me. We are a huge family. I was close to Maralinda, because she's the most fun among all. We both love the same thing. Our favorite activity is sword fighting. I was awarded by being the most potential fighter among all of my siblings. I killed a dragon once. Peace of cake. 

Until one snowy night, the wicked witch of the west came and banished all of us in the land and send us to... this world. When the black smoke is covering us, I split from my family and ran as fast as i can, unfortunately i wasn't fast enough, I fell down into the cold water. I was frozen. And dead. At least I think I am.

One morning, I woke up. I was in a room alone with no one aside me. Not even my mother or father or my siblings. I was alone. 

I try to tell people about what happened but no one believed. I was in a different world. With cities and people and no flying monkeys. They had this thing called a GPS where people use it to track locations. I was lost and i have no idea where my family is. They're missing. And that was 16 years ago. 

Now, I started clean and fresh. You might know me, I'm the pianist who composes 123 songs. I composes for famous people now and also worked for movies or TV shows such as Once Upon A Time, Captain America, The Hobbit, Amazing Spiderman and many other movies. I create the music behind it, which is amazing. I never thought that after being a fighter i could be this musical person. But thank God I succeed. At first it took me awhile to be familiar with this world and with the new electronic these days. It was amazing! 

I'm glad I can share some of my past to you all. 

How Do We Overcome Addiction

                In school life, there are always lots of temptation in neglecting assignments to do self-entertainment like go shopping, playing video games, watching TV, etc. which will then regarded them as a troublemaker or embarrassment of the school. Many times we had no control over our feelings and desire to do what we want despite the consequences await us. However, small problems could turn to bigger problems that affect our life badly. What happen if you don’t get accepted to the university you’ve always wanted although your grades proved that you’re capable and it’s just that you always neglected your homework? What if people don’t accept you in their team although you are genius and you can do everything except the fact that you are too lazy? How can you succeed if you get easily swept away? These things occurred due to addiction.

                  Addiction is the state that you have desire to do things continuously by neglecting the surrounding and focusing only on your entertainment. For example, watching TV, smoking, playing video games overtime are considered to be an addiction. For girls, they tend to have an addiction or motives of being skinny, through their set of minds, they have fully dedicated to fasting or eat less, which then changed the amount of their consumption. Before we are in a state of irredeemable and incapable of redeeming one self, these writing would tell the steps or tricks to overcome addiction.

                  First, get a substitute, like substituting smoke for candies, it would reduce the amount of smoke consumed everyday. And later, through perseverance and dedication to get better, hopefully smoke would be thrown out from your life. Imagine of how effective eating candies must have been that makes you forget the motive of smoking. I therefore believe, with effective substitute for every addiction, would clear path and make a new changes.

                  Furthermore, getting a consultation from experienced teacher, families, surrounding would open up minds for changes. During hard times, as we may all know, human are social creatures that needs teaching and motivation, through them we would learn more and fix our own problems. However if we did not know what’s our problems, then how can we change our hearts?

                  Lastly, praying to god to get blessings and protection in god would definitely makes everything easier because I believe god will clear every obstacles in our way as long as we believe and sincerely trust Him. Do you ever feel that you feel calmer and relaxed after talking and praying to god asking for guidance? Do you admit that you need god to protect you?

                  In conclusion, we can’t possibly withstand the thread of addiction, however through the power of dedication and god with the cheering from surroundings, everything is possible. Perhaps in no time, you did not realize that you’ve been lifted from all those addiction.

Spends his days scavenging what is left in the now ruined and largely abandoned city of Khalidiyah while working to reestablish a functional society from and for those who the government have turned their backs on.

You are ‘Cool’

Hey friends, I know these days being a ‘cool’ is such a big buzzing topic in our community. In addition, each and every single day we are highly influence by pictures and videos showing the world’s definition of ‘perfect’ life. Now, here’s the question what is the definition of being cool in this era?

Celebrities

Well, this is such a common answer! I believe in some point you wanted to be like one of your favorite celebrities, maybe you wanted to be like the handsome and perfect Zac Efron, the overly talented Adam Levine or the soccer phenomenon Beckham, that's just to name a few for you guys out there. For the beautiful ladies, maybe you dreamt of being someone as talented and goovy as Jennifer Lawrence, A singing dive like Beyonce or a beautiful and modest Miranda Kerr? Did You?

Well, let me tell you a secret.  Trying to imitate them in any way will not lead you to your goal as the ‘cool’. You are different. You are special. You are created to be unique!

Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Ha! This is another stereotype answer. Now days’, being cool is often categorized as someone who is able to have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Believe me, in schools more and more teenagers are flirting and trying to look for someone to be their partner. I’ve known more than a dozen people who dated just to be stamp as a ‘cool’ kid.

Sometimes having someone to be with you can lead to 2 options: 1. Being someone who is better 2. Misleaded to do things that they are not suppose to do. Maybe, now you are thinking that you might be in the first group, but unfortunately more and more teenagers fell into the 2^nd group. At the end, this is not defining that you are ‘cool’

Going with the community

To wrap it up, another answer tp define ‘cool’ coming from teenagers will be going on with what the community is offering such as smoking, drinking alcohol and clubs. The mindset and integrity of teenagers have moved along the years, now days these things seems normal. To some degree, teenagers loved to show off that they could do what the community asked them to in order for them to be the so called – ‘cool’

The real ‘COOL’

The answer to being cool is not trying to imitate celebrities nor doing what the community is asking you to do. The answer to being ‘cool’ is just being you! Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself and stand out of the crowd! Going with the crowd is not always the best thing, but by being who you are the coolness that you wanted will shine itself through you!

You are created to be unique, to be the only one in the world. No matter how hard you tried to be ‘cool’ by doing what others thinks is cool you won’t be, because you who you are.

Remember, You are the new definition of  ‘COOL’ !

Are we really broken?

Have you ever wondered why do we keep on doing mistakes, why do we feel lonely, why do we feel that something is always missing??

Well yes, especially us, the reckless youth. We tend to actually know that we have something missing but… guess what we do with it? We ran to the earthly things. We ran to what the world stamps as ‘fun, cool, hype, and so on’ . But honestly, if you think of it again, do you really feel that in any way it is giving you something that you really need?

This is something that happen regularly in my life, sometimes when I am so bored, you know what I ran to? I ran to using my time doing wasteless activities such as watching movies, youtubes, playing game and so on. Time passes by and by the time I felt mind of tired I realized that I have passed hours upon hours of doing something that is not impacting. I wasted my time.

So, how can we get out of this wasted activities that we kept on doing day to day? Here’s a message from the bible that can help you go through it.

Romans 12:2 New Living Translation
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Yes, from this we can see that the only way you can make your days better is to let God transform your life. It is because only through Him that we can have a new mind that will see things differently. Not only that, when we get to know Him then you will be lead step by step towards his will, which is always good, pleasing, and perfect.

Before you knew it, your life can be the light for your family, community and friends. There’s no more things wasted but it is rather used to glorify His name.

In conclusion, yes we are broken as a human. Yet, it does not mean that there is nothing that can mend this broken pieces because there is only one person that can mend the brokenness that we have, which is our Creator, Jesus Christ.

Happy Monday!

Rachel's Profile

Whaddap world?

Well here's something about me...

Since I was young, I've been dreaming to somehow be in the entertainment business yet half of me has fallen in love with ministry too..

So here I am right now, becoming someone that is involve greatly in the ministry yet have lots of connection with many big names in the world... Why do i want to get connected with this so called 'big names' ... well yes, obviously it comes back to the name of ministry, by me having connection to the big names, and bring them to love Him then it will be even more contagious especially to their fans that might not be in the same belief. So this impact can be a massive impact to help spread His name across the world.

More than that, this past year I have finally opened up a world-wide charity to help kids grow to what they are supposed to be which is by giving them proper education, proper family and houses especially in the timespan where they are growing and of course a strong belief in Christ. At first we are focusing to help the kids that have lost their parents but lately we are expanding the charity to a more diverse segments that can help more and more kids with different cases around the world.

Aside from that, I've been chosen to be the ambassador for some other great and inspiring movements. Lastly, by the grace of God, He gave me the opportunity to be one of the lead speakers in many world-wide conferences to help burn the fire of people in order for them to be a blessing for others so yeah my main focus in life is just to blessed others by the blessings that He has given me.

Hope everyone reading this profile can get inspired in doing BIG things in life, because YOU ARE BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING to others!

Much love,
Rachel

A Sociopath (Graciela)

           With this serenely perfect weather to picnic with your closest people-families- we had our own obligations and obstacles to attend a picnic. The sun was cheering for me, waiting for me and tempting me to stole a little of its shine to fulfill my own necessities. As I looked into the blue sky as blue as Nial Horan’s (A member of one direction boyband) irresistible eyes and wider than the Pacific Ocean, all I could see was the enjoyable moment with my imagery friends and families with fantastic games in waiting. However, here I am with my pencil drawing out everything in this renowned jail called school.

            Again, for a thousand times I slept or gazing off through the window during his unstoppable lecture and as I could remember he talked about why should we always do our homework or why neglecting our assignments could prevent us to be successful. I thought,” Oh my gosh (my mom told me to replace the word god with gosh)! Can’t he let us off? Why do we have to everything he commanded just like we’re a prisoner? Why he become silence when in not class and talk to nobody, however in class he was so talkative”. A sociopath trying to teach us about morals and rules, please, rules are made to be broken. The whiteboard was full of nonsense. I’m exhausted. I’m hungry. I’m sleepy. I want to go home.

            As he taught, suddenly the ground was shaking tremendously. It’s as if the world is spinning. I could not see clearly. My sight was blurred and filled with people running while screaming. Just as before we escaped, the head teacher went to our class and told us to duck under the table and don’t panic. “How can we be still and be a robot.” I thought.

            We couldn’t wait anymore and the students blast out from the class and ran down the stairs, pushing one another. It wasn’t a normal rain, instead it was a giant snowball falling from the sky like a meteor. It was windy and blurry. The way down the stairs therefore was also slippery. I could see the sociopath was way ahead of us, saving his own skin I guessed. However, out of a sudden, he turned and ran back up to save this one girl way behind me. He carried her with his weakling arms while the girl hugged his minuscule head. I was surprised. I was stunned. I couldn’t move. Among the crowds, everyone was pushing me and called me an idiot for when I was standing on their way.

            He was in front of me and shouted,” walk and run for your life! Don’t tell me that I need to also carry you in my arms.” I turned and walked. I was separated from him. Furthermore, I saw an enormous snowball falling into our direction. As the snowball fallen into the ground, we lost controlled. I thought it was the end of the adventure escaping school since there was no more rain, however I misjudged again and the ball was coming to our way. We ran. I felt I was the woman in temple run (game).

            Everyone had gathered in the field and successfully escaped the thread, including me, however he wasn’t here yet. After the snowball stopped, we returned and find a girl was crying beside the giant snowball. As we went near it, I could see him under the snowball as big as a dinosaur from night at the museum (movie). He showed no sign of movement or breathing. He died. The principle stated the time of death and prayed.

            4 years later, here I am, enjoying my sunlight after I finished my bachelor degree in my mostly hated subject- philosophy. I could sunbathe during my job and anytime I want. My family could visit me anytime they want, although the way here might be tiring. My new friends are birds and dogs. The people here had dark skin and brown colored hair due to the mud and dirt. They are nice and easygoing people. Every year, we would receive plenty of fruits and foods. With my shovel, here I stand in front of the sociopath once I hated and now I loved dearly, taking care of his burial, as a gardener of tombs.  From this day on, I am also a sociopath.

Elisa

16 years ago, a group of aliens invaded the earth. Those aliens looked just like an ape. They travelled with a bizarre-looking UFO. It didn't shape like a plate or the way we imagine its looks all this time, instead it looked like a banana with elephant tails at both ends: one was as a device to control its movement, and one was just as an accessory to honor their ancestor (they believe their ancestor married an elephant).

At that moment, scientists and experts believed that they all were going to die due to the poisonous spiky hair of those apes. Later, we found out that the reason those apes were coming to earth was to find my mom, which was pregnant with me.

Why my mom? 

My mom was actually came from those apes planet. Her father, was their king, who married a girl from earth (then my mom was born tadaa). When she was 18, she fleed to earth because she didnt want to turn into an ape (?)

They came for my mom because the king was sick. The king wanted to give his legacy to my mom. 

My mom didnt have any choice. If she didnt want to go with those apes, earth was going to be destroyed; therefore she chose to go with them, and brought me along. 

The trip from earth and ape's planet took us 4 hours. Unfortunately, my mom wanted to give birth during the third hour of the trip. I was supposed to born 4 months later, but somehow due to gravity force or magic or idk, i was born during my 5th month, with perfect body organs -- it is actually impossible for a normal human, so i guess i got some supernatural power from Ape's Dna in my chromosomes (?).

My mom named me Elisa.

Now i am 16. I am half a human and half an ape. My fave food is ofc banana!🍌

Weird facts: when i was 10 i started to grow hairs like ape. I shaved it all later and took out the hair roots and it didnt grow anymore (yay)

Im tall for human but quite short for my kind (apes). After i was born, i continue my life on the ape's planet for 16 years.

And this year, 2014, for my 16th birthday present, i came back to earth. 

I was so happy, because i could meet my dad and eat nasi padang (they dont sell it there).

Im happy. And i hope i'll continuously be happy. 👍👍👍
