| On 4 August 1976 in Semarang, a baby boy called Agus Santoso was born into a very big family. His birth was unplanned since his mom has reached forties during her pregnancy. Being in the large family, life was not easy financially. His parents need to work very hard to support seven children. However, love is always in the house. The children are taught to love and to support each other. Honesty, kindness and integrity are also reflected from the attitude of my parents. Although, I love my parents whole heartedly, I used to be easy going child. In addition, being the baby in the family, I used to get all the attention and take everything for a granted. I did not think that it is important to show love in action, but I expect that my parents should know about my feeling despite all my attitude. However something happen on 1994 that has changed all my attitude. My father was passed away, and unfortunately, I have not give him the best that I can give. I was so busy with my friends, my life, and everything about myself. At that time, I felt, that I am a very selfish person. Why, I did not show my love to them, when they are alive. Sure, that I love them, but do I show them about my love ? From this experience, I have learnt to show and express my love to people whom I care (such as my mom), through action and word. |
| About My Life and My Family |
| It never crossed my mind, that I would have the opportunity to study overseas since none of my brothers sisters have studied abroad. However, I was blessed with loving and supportive family. My three older brother and my three older sister, are the source of inspirations and great helps during my study in overseas, emotionally and financially. Although, I have discovered the mountain and the valley of life, but one things that I am sure and have been experiencing, that God's protection and God's blessing always in my life and in my family. One thing I ask of the Lord , this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in his temple I have confidence in HIM because The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. I am currently enjoying my study life (PhD) in Australia while all my family were back in Semarang, Indonesia. I have at this time 13 cute, perfect, handsome and beautiful nephews and nieces. I believe and know, that God will use them to be a man and a woman of God. |
