The picture above describe three different words which are: Faith, Trust, and Hope.

I saw this picture when I opened the recent status update in my cellphone. When seeing this picture, I asked myself whether I have those three important words in my life or not. Then I realised that I do not have any faith, trust, or hope.

Day by day, it getting worst since I want to pursue my master degree outside Indonesia. My chance to pursue the master degree shrinks. It affects my faith, trust, and hope to God, parents, friends, and others. I did not believe in anyone else than myself.

One day, my mother came to my room and she told me that she has bought some new suitcase. I asked her : “Mom, Why do you buy this suitcase? for what?”. Then, she answered : “I buy it for you. This year, you will study abroad right? At that time, you don’t need to buy it again”. I surprised with her answered because she believed that my dream will be realised soon. She always believe in me that I could reach my dream.

From her words, I realised that she have a faith in God, a trust in me, and hope in God and me.

How can I know that?

1. By the time, she bought me some suitcase although I have not been accepted in university, I realised that she put her faith in God. She believes God will answer my prayer to make it happened.

2. By the time, she said that I will study abroad this year, I realised that she put trust in me. She trust her son more than she trust others.

3. By the time she walked into my room and said about those words, she has a hope in God that something that could be happened.

“I buy it for you. This year, you will study abroad right? At that time, you don’t need to buy it again”.
Simple sentences that motivates me more than anything else to realise my big dream.
