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,

New Year for a new goal.

Happy a New Year everyone! How did you spend your Christmas and New Year? It was my first year to be away from my YWAM Bangkok family, and it was so different in a good way. I saw myself has been through many stages of life, and through those processes I've seen God as my helper who held my hands to walk through all difficulties. There were time that I kept praising him, there were time I was discouraged, and there were time of challenging to change, but the most important to me is that God never let me go from him. Lately I've been challenged to spend my time in getting to know God deeper. My spiritual life was a bit dry and cold in last few month, and it effected my ministry and how I live my life even my relationship with my family. This year I would like to set my heart in seeking God with all my heart and follow him closely. Since I'm 29 years old, I should be mature in my responsibility and the way I'm a good example to others. Regarding my creativity and ...

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...

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...
