From the book of Romans, I got to learn another aspect of the book that I haven't understood it before. Thanks to Mark Nakatsukasa for his wonderful sharing just in the right time that I need to hear the most. Since I'm a human, I'm so limited of being patient and I don't have much mercy for others. I can't see how God's plan can be fit for a person who has done wrong, but look at me I'm also a sinner who has done a mess thing that I shouldn't receive the forgiveness. However, I came to the point of letting God choose and do thing on his own way because he has the best thing in mind for people that I'm neglected. He knows the beginning and the end, so it's not my business to judge others, but I need to sit back and see God's mercy for each person. So here what I've drawn out from the Book of Romans right now, and thanks to God for his truth has set me free from judging my dad and not being patient with him. Dear God, I pray for salvati...

Happy New Year to all of you!! This year I really want to remind myself to start the year with thanksgiving. It wasn't because of big shock of blessing, but it's because I realize that God is doing his good work in me, and I'm where I am right now because of him alone. I got to read an article from the book "Displaced Reflections" by Oddny Gumaer. Thanksgiving: We are in a refugee housing thousands of people who have fled war. Bugs are buzzing around our sweaty bodies. There is no breeze to move the hot air. Little children are playing. From a house close by we hear music. Several people must be gathered together. They are singing in beautiful harmony. Praise songs. "Is there a church meeting?" I ask. "No, one family is having a Thanksgiving service twice a year to remember what God has done for them." How many times a year do I conduct a Thanksgiving service to remember what I have received? These people who are singing praises to God ri...

Since Bangkok was under water for quite a while, I was super busy with many emergency works and usual works that I have to get done. I didn't put any update on that, but I'm glad that God is working through YWAM Bangkok to bless those who were in need, and I'm sure that God bless us so much because where we are located in Bangkok, there is no flood. Praise God for that. Yesterday was a crazy day for me to hear about my family back home. When I visited my family, I was blessed because I felt love and care from my parents and how they treat one another, but to hear that my dad keep making my mom grief for his fair, then it causes me to be anger inside. During the small group time, we talked about Grace of God and whom we should give grace to. It's very difficult for me to say that I need to give grace to my dad, since he is the one who hurt me and the rest of his family. My anger keep bouncing back to me with unforgiven heart, and when I shared it to my small group an...

It was my second time to sit and hear the news how heavy rain causes the flooding in many provinces of Thailand. People are suffered, and need help. I felt so sorry for those people who stuck in their houses, can't go anywhere, don't have food to eat, and can't work for a while. I really even feel bad when I heard people don't have enough to eat, but they still bringing what they have to the Bud-dish temple to do merit, for they thought the more they being faithful doing merit, the more this heavy rain and bad thing will surely go away. They don't know The One who is in control with the heavy rain, who can do the impossible thing, and the one whom they should ask for help. Recently I've been listening to many story of bad thing in Thailand, and I felt like the more I hear it, the more I don't feel like this is my homeland, for I can't make any change in this country and I just have to bear all of that along with other Thai brothers and sisters; the b...

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...

Sitting in the class with SBS students in this couple day, I was encouraged with many truth especially when we're talking about Spiritual Warfare. I started to gain more understanding of who I am in Christ, and where I should stand for, and how I should live my life to win this kind of battle. I would call it as a revelation when I totally see how these thing works in order to win the battle. Many time I usually ask how I shall pray, is there any specific acts that I should do or if there is any place to should go to make it real powerful weapon. I'm so thankful for who God is, because I can learn that God is not a God of rule and a good manner act, but through his grace, he's done all thing for us in order to win the battle. My responsibility is about living my life by know who I am and what Christ has done for me. I need to put every effort in order to live in unity with others. This is so powerful and such an encouraging word for me. Thanks to God for releasing me fr...
