We're just done the book of Philippians, and once again I saw how Paul's heart beats for those whom he loves. Philippians faced many problems in their church, and there was a false teaching about receiving law to make a complete salvation. Somehow through this book, I felt God affirm me as a precious person that God's made, and he totally gave himself up just for me. I'm not worthy to receive it, but it's not what God thought. I looked back into my personal life, and I found so many thing that I dealt with a bad attitude. I valued people on what they do or blame them on what they've done. This timeless truth just came to me to reminds me that I should give others grace while I'm needing God's grace for my own life. However, my walk with God still continue, and I know that God hasn't finish with me, but I want to recommit myself to give grace and room for people's failures. Whatsoever is an effect to me, I'll take it as a lesson of growing i...

Once for a while I'm down in the deep depression of how the world see me. Lots of people express their own thoughts of me and my relationship. What am I value it between what God challenge me or other people's opinion? There is a Scriptures mentions about receiving the advice from the wise, and yes I absolutely admit it as it's necessary for my growth in both relationship and God. But I do need to meditate on those advice. Some of them are not the way of loving me but destruction. I say this because I felt it is. How can you trust in someone who spoke nicely about you up front of you, but speak their very own thoughts how bad they don't like you.. It's just a human and yet need grace of God to give other grace. I've learned that I need to extend grace to those kind of people,too. I'll choose a good thing for myself, and I'll keep looking up to Jesus and reflect on his true word. Jesus is sincere both up front of me and behind my back. I only need to keep...

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 ...

Hi, I've been away from this journal since I was in the School of Biblical Studies. It took about 4 months and half to study every books in the New Testament. I was impressed with the way God uses his message to speak to us in nowaday. The more I learned from problem in the original reader's time, the more I see how great is my God because he used a wonderful people to write a letter to people whom He loves so much. I got a confident that God won't ignore my needs and myself because of his promise, and I learned to trust in him more and more. I planned to be a school staff next year because I felt there are so much more I should learn and I want these truth nail down my heart even more. I want to be part of making Thai people speak the truth to others. God's plan in working effectively in Thailand, and I'm honored to join in his team.. He is such a wonderful God! Thanks to all of you who have been praying for me and supporting in many ways. I'm blessed because ...

"I have told you this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.~ John 16:33, NLT" Look back in the past few year, I've seen many trails and sorrows over myself and others. People who lost their beloved one are in deep of sorrows. The difficulty of the country issues and economic problem that causes the whole world to be concern about ceasing income. Lots of challenging take place, and we handle it well sometimes. I found this Scriptures alive in my heart when it speaks about 'peace'. Through the difficulty of situation, I really need peace to be in my heart so that I can pressing on and be normal person. Just the last day of the year 2008 I was depressed about my family situation. One person texts me message to say happy new year, but the message encouraged me so much as it says "may peace, love and hope are in you today, tomorrow and always".. I'm totally...

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...

On the 1st week of my trip, I tried so hard to make thing going in my way, but then I realized that God is at work, so I learned to let God be in the control. Through this trip I've seen myself didn't do much and there were many mistakes, but still I have to let it be in God's way and trust that he will help me work thing out in the right way. My goal for this trip is that I'll be changed and not to be the same person as before. Since I got back, I'm searching in myself if there is any change in me. I believe there is somewhere in me, and I just have to wait it come out in God's time. I'm blessed by each member from the team. I really want to give all honor to my wonderful staffs, Tae, Daow, Lab! Because 3 of them turned situation into a laugh and smile reaction. when I was so frustrated with different thing in the trip, these three leaders convinced and encouraged me to be thankful to God. It was a natural relationship of friends, brothers and sisters in o...
