Father's Love Letter

Sudah lama aku suka nulis.

Sejak SMP hingga SMA aku bahkan nulis renungan untuk warta gereja.

Menginjak saat-saat kuliah, terus terang agak jarang nulis.

Sekarang sudah mulai rindu lagi untuk menulis. Aku mulai sering ngepost note di Facebook. Tetapi setelah kupikir-pikir lagi, aku butuh sebuah blog.

Secara khusus aku rindu menulis artikel-artikel untuk pemudi-pemudi Kristen. Bukan sekedar karanganku aja, melainkan tulisan yang berangkat dari kesaksian yang hidup tentang bagaimana Tuhan bekerja atas hidupku. Lebih tepatnya apa yang Dia ajarkan padaku dari hari ke hari. 

Aku rindu blog-ku bisa memberkati banyak gadis-gadis lain. Tapi nggak menutup kemungkinan untuk pemuda-pemuda Kristen yang mungkin membaca blog-ku. Hehehe..

Beberapa hari lalu aku membaca di: http://www.fathersloveletter.com/ mengenai surat cinta-Nya Tuhan. Kemarin Minggu aku juga baca di Toko Buku Times, ada buku yang isinya surat-surat cinta Tuhan untuk anak-anak perempuan atau para gadis. Aku sangat tersentuh dan tergerak supaya blog-ku bisa menjadi "surat cinta"-Nya Tuhan buat banyak gadis muda.

By the way, berikut ini isi Father's Love Letter:
