The Final Letter: Who is God?

I was born in Indonesia, which one of the most religious country. Indonesia has six official religion by the government but it still has so many local religions, such as Kejawen in Java, Sunda Wiwitan in West Java, Sapto Darma in Yogyakarta, etc. And, Muslim is one of largest-population in Indonesia and reach 87% or 229.6 million. Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhism, and other religions are minority population. All schools taught in religion class, so students required to learn religion. So, I grow up with religion habits until present. My parents always taught me about God and religion. I knew my own religion and also other religions, but it was just basic, such as how to fasting, how to praying, and how to read the holy book. And, I'm now at a religion college. You know the entire of my life will never separate on how much important religion.

I met religion leaders and I learned lots from them. I would definitely thankful and felt blessed with them, because I believe something that happen to God if I learn with them. I truly appreciate it. 

I know if I talk in religion, it will be offended and sensitive, but I will talk carefully and I definitely won't make an unimportant discussion. That's my personal with God. I believe. I will write a shortly thoughts on God, because I want something makes very specific.

Based on my experience, I would believe on God. I'm happy right now. I never regret what I believe. I see how God works and wants me. When I will do what I wanted, I know my decision and action should be take a responsible with God not people. People are human so they aren't God. I will always avoid if people want to know about me and my habits. It's me, I just do it myself not you. I have a responsible with God. When, I didn't believe in God, I will regret in all my life. I read the holy book, it makes feel blessed and grateful.

You know what "grateful" is, I love that word. That's such a powerful word that I've heard so often. What that is? You definitely ever doing wrong, right, sin, and unexpected, right? It's just normal, but I know it will makes you sad, upset, and depression. But, you need to grateful every you did it. To be grateful definitely you will be cheerful, put a smile, and keep positive thinking. You will face every problem, you will put a smile and take a grateful. Grateful will make you feel strong and better. That's really powerful word that you should know. You have to tried to be grateful.  That's would never tough. Just put a smile and face the problem happily. I love to be grateful.

I still learn actually. I'm not a perfect human, still have a sin, but I will always tried to be better and grateful. I learn from people that I met and something that I had. My goal is tried to be better, open-minded, grateful, and tolerant. That's just I want. I hope so.

I hope you all will be healthy, grateful, and cheerful. I also hope you will respect on my reflection. I will going to pray for you all. I'm going to apologize if something makes you feel offended. 

Thank you, everyone!

Disclaimer: I would never talk about my religion in public, but it is just about what my reflection on God and I also would never say what my religion is, because it's my personal.  Please respect my opinion. Thank you!

I'm a Retired Deaf Activist

I was born to a Deaf person in the middle of a hearing family who does not know sign language and grew up in different ways, neither in the Deaf world nor the hearing world. I studied at a Deaf school using a read-lips method and a mainstream school. So, I'm also a former mainstreamed school alumnus. What was the experience I have become a Deaf person? It was a thrilling journey. Living in an unfriendly country always be challenging. I sometimes was asked why was I born like that and why was I stuck at this family who doesn't know sign language. It felt unfair, though.  I had been an activist since June 2016 and joined Gerkatin (Gerakan untuk Kesejahteraan Tuli untuk Indonesia) which is a Deaf organization. I worked lots-- such as an interpreter, sign language teacher, public speaker, event committee, coordinator, and lead the group, etc-- and had experienced lots, which downs and ups. It was mixed feelings. Being an activist that what you see it looks fun and cool but either t...

Terjemahan: Apa yang Anda Pikirkan Tentang Deaf Power?

Deaf Power mempromosikan sejarah, bahasa, dan nilai-nilai komunitas Tuli di seluruh dunia. Sebagai kedua bahasa dan simbol, itu akan menyebarkan kebanggaan budaya kami . (Sumber: www.deafpower.me oleh Christine Sun Kim dan Ravi Vasavan). Mengapa saya menulis Deaf Power di blog saya?

Hal pertama adalah pengobatan dan terapi pendegaran. Dokter dan orangtua menginginkan kekurangan saya menjadi orang dengar. Jadi, saya menghabiskan masa kecil saya dengan pengobatan dan pergi ke rumah sakit. Saya hanya sedikit mendapatkan pendidikan dari ibu saya atau keluarga saya. Saya tidak tahu siapa mengajarkan saya seperti itu. Kehidpan pertamaku adalah sangat sedikit kata-kata yang saya didapatkan dalam hidup saya. Saya ...

" Take up the cross and follow me " Matthew 16: 24 If you are a loyal reader who has been reading since the first writing published in January 2020, I would like to announce that I have a fact that really needed to announce. Look at a title, that says I am Christian. Yep, I am Christian and am a follower of Christ. I have prepared some questions might you want to ask When was getting baptized? In December 2019 at GKI Gejayan, Yogyakarta. My baptized name is Malachi Raka. Where is the church usually you worship? English Worship, Yogyakarta. Why did you convert to Christianity? It’s a long story but that came to me who had been fighting for the truth and what makes me feel comfortable and to grow up who am myself. I converted because it’s my decision not because of a girlfriend, I do not have a girlfriend and am still single. After spending two years, I ended up finding Jesus Christ through coming to the church and started tearing up while listening to Christian songs. I really...
