What can I learn from Jonathan's life.

Got to read in 1 Samuel chapter 20 today, and I felt a real commitment of friendship between Jonathan and David. Jonathan told David that he loves David as he loves himself, and he is truly believe that David is the man of God, for he chose to encourage and support David, who is his dad's enemy. One thing I see it so clear is that Jonathan is willing to follow God's plan, and he believe that God is with David who will be the next King of Israel. It's hard to see the son refuses to protect his own dad and choose to help dad's enemy to sit on his dad's throne.

This can be a good example to me, but it's also a big challenge for me. Will I ever betrayed someone whom God sets for his plan because I choose to stand on someone else' side? Will I value God's plan less than man's pleasure? I can confess that I've done it so many time, and I've to realign myself to God again and again. The best part of being God's child is that I don't have to live in condemnation, but truly admit what I did wrong and walk in freedom because of Christ. Many seek for being right in everything, and we know that we always fall from being perfect. But God's love and grace is always enough for a sinner like me and everyone. Thanks to God for revealing to me and challenging me to keep going with a new attitude of others. Praise Him!

By his grace and love,

Wilderness

Have you ever wondered how many challenged you need to go through each year? What about your hope for future? Will it ever come true when it seemly nothing can make it happen? I want to say that I'm good enough, I've been through many thing that I can stand firm and don't lose my mind. I don't care what happen in the future, for I know my God is able to do. I fail to totally trust that my circumstances is not a big deal. Once again, I have to encourage myself through the book of Philippians, for it talks about being rejoice. I admit how worry I am and try to work out in my own way. I saw a picture of myself building up such a strong mountain to conquer all the optical, but when I worshiped God during the Conference, I just realized my mountain become its optical for taking me to another level of trusting God. God told me that he will make my mountain flat, and I'm in this wilderness, so that I'll realize who God is and how amazing he is. A big challenging fo

A biblical worldview

Hey, Just wanna drop a line that I'm doing ok.. Kinda busy with bible study in Galatians with our brand new Bangkok DTS , with work and with the preparation for the trip. I'm so exciting and can't imagine that I have only one month left before we jump on the airplane.. Thing is getting along in God's way, and I'm so proud of his wonderful plans. If you want to pray for us as a team, you can pray for another 130,000 baht is giving toward this trip for us and for us to be unify in God's perfect plan. I don't really share much about my heart for doing bible study. I found my strength of a person who always seeking for knowledge, and I'm not surprise when I feel I wanna do the School Of Biblical Studying. It wasn't because I want to be a preacher at all, but I truly wanna have more understanding of the bible and how I can live out in what I believe. I'm praying right now where I shall go to and what the right time for me is. This week I just gave m

Hope

It seems like I'm not doing good on posting stuff for my blog, but there are so many thing that I really enjoy and like to share though. The last couple month had been a challenge time to me to be thoughtful of my future and my vision. I ended up determining to study Bible, and it's because I need God's truth in my life so much. The course will be in February, and it's only 4 month course digging in the New Testament. I have a hard time with communication my feeling, my emotion and being honest. I can be with God, but still I like to hide my feeling from others. I disobey God for once, and now it causes me in suffering in relationship with my friend. I wish I could turn back to that time, and I wouldn't hold any thing against my friend at all.. Poor Gade, but I'm lifting up head to the hope in the Lord because he is my counselor. The Christmas season is coming, and I can't believe that Bangkok is cold right now. I beg God to let Bangkok cold at least a mon
