Spreading His Love

thailand's Mother's day.

2010-08-12T13:58:00.006+07:00

Today is the day where the children celebrate our mother's love, sacrifice and her character.

They cook for us, discipline us for our good and do everything they can to see you grow up into a God fearing woman/man or maybe for the unbelievers, good law-abiding people.

We had a celebration in Baan nana (orphanage) and some mothers came all the way from their villages for the celebration while the kids played games and heard what the mothers had to say to them. It was a moment when your feeling and love for your mom pours out. Both daughter/son and mothers shed tears. Tell your mom you love her! ;))

backyard up-do!

2010-08-10T13:33:00.008+07:00

I must say, our back yard is really overgrown. The grass ( no, maybe it's not grass anymore!) is about knee level and the weeds in one area is taller than me. So one day, dad and I decided to clear the mess. I even thought snakes might just be lying low under those thorny bushes.

While cutting, raking and trimming Aaragon accompanied us by eating the grass or chasing after imaginary birds and cats.

"Yup! I'm tired already". said Aaragon.

A very quaint little cafe which we liked. It was an old tram stop in Melbourne that got converted.

MART 130 is TRAM spelled backwards. Went there for breakfast and they served very lovely food! enjoy!

I'm sorry i'm lazy, so for now, it's these two photos that are my favorite!

Melbourne momenta.

I'll gratefully let the pictures talk.

Great Ocean Road- Twelve Apostles.

A princess carriage isn't it?

A beautiful cathedral right in the middle of town.

One of the many scumptous meals we had!

Siblings cooking. & three chefs don't spoil the broth. :)

was gone, now back!

2010-07-14T18:29:00.004+07:00

Hello there! :)

I know this blog has been abandoned for such a long time- about two months!

It's terrible! :(

Well, a quick update to let you know that I've been in Singapore and Melbourne for the past two months and I'm back to Thailand.

I went to back to SG to take my O's exams. though its for only two subjects.

Went to Melbourne with my sister to visit my brother! :)

Visiting Singapore has always been so busy its hard to get any time to update this blog.

However, I'll try to do some justice.

Travelling has always been a favorite thing of mine. I never regret going to new places and meeting with great people. Either travelling for a visa run, crossing the border for ministry or taking a long plane ride to a cold country.

This time round, my parents said bye to me till 1 month and a half!

I was in SG to take my exams and study plus visit my brother and catch up with others too!

I learnt so much from this trip! From managing my money to planning a holiday with my sister!

I'm blessed and am grateful for parents, and I'm in awe at how they wreck their brains at what school to bring put you into, working hard for your education, planning your meals, doing the house chores. WOAH... it blows me away. That's why, I gotta work hard for the future! :)

I had the MOST AWESOME time with my brother and sister during the Melbourne trip, shall never forget the memories made. I love the cold weather there too! Shall post up some photos next time. :)

Grateful for Your blessings LORD! and I thank you for bringing me through!

His Creation...

2010-05-04T20:54:00.004+07:00

Studies have really opened up my eyes.

Exams for all of us should not just be for the paper we receive but rather the learning journey we go through. It's the process rather than the examination.

However, the exam is an incentive to make you look forward and work towards learning more.

This journey has been really exciting. I've never known the world we live in to this extent. It gives me a sense of awe and reverence of God's wisdom and His creation.

This complex world that He made in just 6 days. WOW! Think about it. Isn't that amazing?

I'm also grateful for my parents who mentor and guide me through my learning experience. Preparing a student for a particular exam isn't always easy.

I love the discussions we have at the dinner table, or just lying on the sofa. I thank God that they are interested in my studies and create a good environment for me to learn more.

I think we can never stop learning, and never stop being in awe of who God is and what He has done and will do.

D.A.D

2010-04-25T20:56:00.008+07:00

BLESSED BIRTHDAY MY DAD!! :)))

And everything I want to say is what I've expressed today!

Actions speak louder than words so planning this surprise is my gift!

Mae Gone 2010!

2010-04-03T11:14:00.012+07:00

It's been such a long time since I've posted! March has been the most busy time in the year over here as the children are off school! Every year, there would be children camps at various places and so it's a very busy period!

On March 21st, our church mission team arrived in Chiang mai and we headed up to Mae Gone!

The night before we left for Chiang mai, we found out that there was not going to be a translator! I laughed! Literally! I didn't know how else to respond!

Some miscommunication I thought! I started getting a little scared as I knew that I would have to be the one translating the next few days! I started typing out the my phonetics for the scripts of the story telling and ended of staying up till 3:30am! ( it's a good thing I was not driving the next day!)

Looking back, I'm glad God gave me that oppotunity. If I had knew there was no translator a month before the trip I would have been worried about practising everyday and it would be at the back of my mind the whole time worrying me! So I'm glad I knew about it the night before!

What a funny way of seeing things I know!

We had a good time with the kids this year, however, seeing them all grown up was something different! The girls were really receptive this year and included me in their volley ball games!

We had about seven youths baptized this year and it was encouraging to all of us!

Seeing them again and every year was a blessing, and I'm looking forward to the next time!

Have a Blessed Easter!! Having a sun-rise service at 6:00am tomorrow! May we always remember that Christ died on the cross for us while we were still sinners! That shows His conditional love for all mankind!

4 YEARS!

2010-03-06T13:23:00.004+07:00

It has been 4 years since we've first stepped into Thailand! These years has personally been the years which I've grown in faith. And that definitely has been very exciting and challenging!
The times here has taught me a lot of things in life, it opened my eyes and my heart.

Yesterday was the last day of "school" or english lessons for the kids I teach at Baan nana.
This is the summer break for all the local schools as well! So as the kids have their holidays I've to study harder as I've a little bit more time now. This March, we would be having a children camp at Mae Gone, so we've also been occupied at planning the programme.

Tonight there would be a rally by Will Graham at Chiang rai! I'm excited about it!

Belated Chinese New Year

2010-02-25T21:12:00.008+07:00

Chinese New Year was a great time for me! =) Celebrated reuion dinner with Cantonese and Singaporean missionaries! It was a good time of fellowship and sharing of each culture's delicacies! On the third day of the new year, we left for the moutains to a friend's village-a Lahu village. We tasted their "nian kao" ( new year cake) and it was pretty good! We played fire-crackers and fire-works and even dance the tribal dance!

(the new year cake!)

BNN News: Staff retreat!

2010-02-07T15:26:00.014+07:00

Last sunday, we had a staff retreat at Phetchabun. It was a long ride to this place, about 9 hours drive to get there. We had a good time of getting to know one another better. We were staying at a national park which was located next to a river. A very refreshing place for a reatreat! Photos tell a thousand words, so here goes 8 thousand words! =)

(the mornings were 16 degrees!)

(the dogs chewed up our shoes!)

(at the waterfalls of San drit)

happenings and things in my week...

2010-01-24T13:12:00.014+07:00

When we came back and returned to Baan nana we found out that the storeroom, library and the first-aid room has been burnt down! Some kids were playing with fire and the house caught on! Within 3o minutes, everything was gone. Medicines, supplies for school, everyday necessities and all the books they had!

So right now, they're slowly buying medicines, soaps and laundry powder to start off again.

They're thinking of building a new one soon but yet to find funds to do that.

For the past 6 months that I have taught at Baan nana, we've been using the library as a classroom. It was a bright and clean place that had a plastic sheet over the cement floor. Last week, I returned to teaching! But it was a challenge to find a new place. We tried the office on thursday but it was too cramp as this year we have 6 more kids than the last. On Friday we wanted to go to the main hall ( the Church) but it was locked up. So we decided to go to a nearby villa (bamboo house) to have class. It was a pretty scenic place over a small stream directly below us. The danger was, things fall in. And it did! My teaching cards! Haha! It's now being dried. Overall, I think we should go back to the villa for lessons. It's a nice place. =)

Another thing to thank God for is that Achan Sompong was ordained as a Rev. after 13 years in ministry!

Into the new year! 2010

2010-01-09T21:36:00.008+07:00

Hello there! It's been a month since I've last posted! The trip back to Singapore was great!

It was really nice to meet up with old friends, especially my kindergarten friend!
What I really enjoyed most was my church youth camp. It was a time of bonding and experiencing God.For one of our sessions, we prepared tracts and packed it with buns to give to mainland Chinese constuction workers. A friend and I played the violin and the rest of the youth sang a chinese christian song. It was a meaningful time for us, and I hope they were blessed as well.

Music has open many doors for me, in places I wouldn't expect to be and I thank God for that. =)

Another thing I'll like to share is for this upcoming year in which I have to take my O' level exams. I've always worried about what and how I'm suppose to pass my exams and when and where to take it. This morning, the tittle for my daily quiet time was " Fear of the Unknown". It said, " Never be afraid to entrust the unknown future to the all-knowing God." It really struck me that I've not been really trusting God that He's going to work things out, but rather I've been depending on myself.

So all of us out there, God has a purpose and plan in everything He does and leads you to. And remember, always trust Him! =)

goodbyee...MS!

2009-12-02T19:21:00.002+07:00

Returning back to Singapore for a month! Going to miss Mae Sai very much but looking forward to the fellowship with friends! =) I hope to update this blog when I'm free!

Tosha!

2009-11-26T22:33:00.007+07:00

Tosha was here for 4 days! What a wonderful time with her! =) She has been our homeschooling coordinator was 9 years and we finally get to host her in Thailand! haha!
She has shined her light very brightly with her smiles and laughter! I'm amazed at her attentiveness and her willingness to serve others! She definitely has taught me things during this trip, and has caused to want to shine my light wherever I am! =)

In all things give thanks....

2009-11-10T20:53:00.005+07:00

So as you can see, my thanksgiving was filled with friends and food and most importantly, Jesus Christ's love for me. I am thankful that He has blessed me with a Saviour, family, friends and He answers my prayers in ways I can never understand! =))

Tomorrow we'll be sending my mom to the airport, she is going to KL for the ATI conference!

Pray for safety as we are on the road!

new BOOTS!! =)

2009-11-01T14:07:00.006+07:00

Dad got new farming boots! Looks like 'Pua Chu Kang huh? too bad it isn't yellow! Dad has been farming lately planting tomatoes,cassava (tapioca), banana, pandan leaves and chye sim! And not to mention a passion fruit creeper and a lychee tree (already planted by the landlord)
that yielded abundantly this year! We've also bought a lime tree! :))
Hopefully we'll get to eat our crops soon!

YOUTH CAMP!

2009-10-31T11:06:00.011+07:00

Youth Camp pictures are here!! =)) long awaited I know. I took mostly of games so it's mostly game pictures. The games are really so army style! Crossing the river with ropes, crawling in the mud under barb wires! The camp was the first youth camp for the teens at BNN!

"True Friend" camp

2009-10-22T16:45:00.007+07:00

So it has been a week since I've posted! It has been a really busy week for me with two camps going on! Well, I'll let the pictures talk! We had so much fun! The pictures below are from the Shan kids camp, the BNN youth camp pictures would be posted later! On other news, my family and I have enrolled ourserlves to thai lessons again after a year of break!! I'm pretty excited but yet hesitant as it would take up time for other studies. Anyway, enjoy your week ahead!

camps!

2009-10-13T22:32:00.003+07:00

From the start of tomorrow I'll be busy! We'll be helping out at the youth camp at Baan nana and kids camp at the shan village! Whew... Lord give me strength! =)

On the day that Aaragon was found, it was also the day where I played at a concert! =) I've been CYO for about 1 and a half years, and it has been fun and a good experience! I've met thai friends there and one girl ( the picture above) has been especially dear to me. I've been keeping in contact with her as she recently moved down to Chiang mai for studies. I've talked to her about God and shared with her a tract. Please keep her in your prayers! =)

I'll be gone for several days!

was lost but now am found!

2009-10-11T16:50:00.005+07:00

Aaragon has been found! =)) Praise God!
We've posted up some 'missing dog' notices and have been waiting for calls to come.
Yesterday, after five days since Aaragon went missing, two girls spotted him ( they must have seen the notice) and followed him. He stopped at our friend's home where he use to stay when we were on vacation. The two girls knocked at our friend's home and asked whether he was their dog. Quickly they called my parents to tell of the exciting news! =))
Aaragon was found covered with all types of dirt you can imagine, poo, mud, sand, etc. He stank! My dad and our friend bathed him before letting him go home, when he got home, dad bathed him another time!
I really really am soooo thankful! Those 5 days that Aaragon went missing were days that I really learned to trust in God. To know that our lives are fully controled by God with a plan He is unfolding. =)) I'm grateful for that lesson Lord. You can ask me for the story about God working in my life those few days. It's just too long to put in here!

missing my missing dog....

2009-10-07T09:48:00.002+07:00

Aaragon has been missing for two nights. We usually let him out by himself and he will always come back after a short while. Two days ago, we had let him out at around 4:00pm and he came back after that. At around dinner time, there was some fire-works celebration. Aaragon has been very scared of the noise and so we had put out his box to hide. We tried to give him his dinner but he refused so we decided to feed him later after our dinner.
At about 8:00pm, we went out looking for him. We searched everywhere, he wasn't there. And we realised that we had forgotten to close the gate when he came back home earlier that afternooon. My heart sank at knowing that he had ran away because he was scared. I wished I had close the gate when he came home.
We quickly took our torch and looked for him in our neighbourhood. He wasn't there.
That night was the most hard night to sleep through, my thoughts race thinking of the worst.
I couldn't wait for daylight to come.
The next day, I got on the motorbike with dad and continued our search. We went at least 4 times an hour each time. Still no sight Aaragon.
Today, we went out again but Aaragon wasn't in sight.

I've prayed countless times, why doesn't God want to answer I keep thinking. That I cannot fathom. My dad said that maybe God wanted to teach us a lesson. When our dog is lost we are sad isn't it? So how much more we should grief when a soul is lost for eternity.Maybe God wants us to go share the gospel with more courage.

So Lord, give me courage to share the gospel and can you please please send Aaragon back to us? Help us to locate him. Please pray for Aragon that he'll be safe. Right now I can't think of anything else except Aaragon. I can't concentrate on doing my homework. Lord, bring Aaragon back. PLEASE.

LOVING you always

2009-10-04T13:36:00.009+07:00

Having a sister around again is something special! The way she and the kids talk is so nice to hear, watching her teach with experience is something I need to learn. The kids never cease to brighten ones day and especially my sister's! Creating a special bond with them ever so fast!

Yesterday, my sister left for Singapore. Goodbyes to me are hard, but yet I've been so immune to it. This one though I cannot, it was hard. Having a brother in one other country and having a sister in another country. That makes it hard. Thank God for skype! =)

After a one hour english lesson, we'll have story time and games time. The kids just shrill with laughter everytime we play. Each child has their own character to love. And I know they're specially and wonderfully made by God.

WELCOME BACK!

2009-09-29T21:56:00.004+07:00

These past few days have been a great time! =) Talking together, singing together, shopping and all the other things you can think of! It's great that my sister had a weeks break off her studies.
She has been so stressed and tired that this trip is also a sleeping and recouperating time for her. We're going to Burmese school tomorrow to visit the kids and pass out the snacks left over from the Tehs! =)

good times....

2009-09-25T12:05:00.005+07:00

The Tehs and Rachel was here for 5 days! =) They taught Character First and they did a great job. We went to two schools, two mountains and just enjoyed each other's fellowship. The kids really enjoyed the night that they held the chalk talk and gave out the bomerangs! The analogy was great, telling us that whatever we do, it'll come back to us. Our speech and our attitudes. Just like the bomerangs. Today they've left and the house is quiet again. Thank you for coming! I'll never forget our supper times!

26+1 = 27!

2009-09-18T21:22:00.005+07:00

27 Blessed years together! Dad and mom you both has been an example to me and I'm sure to many others. Time doesn't prove how blisful marriage is, but its the love in the years that prove. I can see the love for Christ in you.

For a little get a way time, we went for a road trip up to the mountains. We let open our truck's windows and took in the fresh air and the scenic view. We had breakfast at a cafe in a flower garden and had a good time! =)

Please Pray...

2009-09-18T20:50:00.004+07:00

Nin jar is a sweet boy that has been in Baan nana for less than a year. He has been such a cheerful, bright and active boy. Recently he has lost his parents both to cancer.

Just last week, he went back to his country to study further. I'm sad that he has left, but I'm glad that he wants to pursue to study further. Please pray that he'll keep God close to his heart, and he'll not pick up bad things and he'll know what is right from wrong. Thank you! :)

a "t" but also a cross!

2009-09-12T10:27:00.009+07:00

Every time kids do say something funny that you'll want to remember. Yesterday while teaching at Baanana, they just cracked me up.

Me: What letter is this? (* draws a "t"alphabet)
Kids: a cross!!
Me: (started laughing) yes it is, but it's also "t"!

I'm really happy that they have the impression that I like to teach them about Christ.And when they see the cross or "t", it reminds them about Jesus! =)
Seeing them learn is a blessing, being with them is being blessed. Yesterday, Kannah ( a boy that is a little bit slow in learning) could finally remember how to write his name in English! I was so proud of him!

Tissue (literally) has been helping me alot too! Everytime the kids get any squable and they really do kinda fight ( with a real tight fist), I hand out the "magic tissue"
The magic tissue does clear up quite alot of tears! And of course I do talk with the offender.
Teaching this little kids has taught me alot of stuff and I'm happy for that! =)

BNN News: Painting...

2009-09-05T10:30:00.004+07:00

The kids were painting the meeting hall! Although I don't quite agree on the colors it is going to be worth it! The kids had their share of fun and I had my share by looking at them.

Previously, the NTU team from Singapore had scrub the walls outside and painted them. Now the kids did the inside of it. ( the walls were painted with mud last time!)

I'm sure this Sunday will have a different atmosphere! =)

Scenes from Laos

2009-08-30T21:24:00.010+07:00

This is our third time entering Vientiane. This time was for the same reason, our visa.

We praise God that we're permitted to get an O visa! This means that we could stay for 3 months and with later extension, a year!

We traveled there by train ( it was comfortable!) and took another train which brought us arcoss the border. I was allowed to take some photos in the cockpit! Anyway, below are scenes from Laos that never fail to amuse me. There is always something unique around the corner. It just stands out!

DOULOS!

2009-08-30T20:41:00.009+07:00

I was really excited while going up the stairs to the ship's deck. I was sure there was going to be books awaiting me to read them!
As you enter the deck, there was a huge crowd with a curtain of heat. No fans and body heat everywhere. But as I saw the books staring at me, my mind was turned over to them.
We found some really good books for great prices you'll never find!
As we left, a crew member handed out tracts and a booklet of the Gospel of John! =))
The trip was well worth it! I was happy enough to carry it with me to Laos too.

BNN News: Mother's Day Celebration!

2009-08-17T20:48:00.012+07:00

Decorations all done and dances all prepared! It was a day where the kids thank God for their moms! Some parents came down for the celebration although most kids either have one side of their parents or none.

Mothers and a dad was up there giving advice and sharing about how BNN has

helped them.

Kids that don't have parents came to the staffs for a hug. Many of them were in tears, as I saw sadness in their eyes I teared.

But aren't we a big family? Love you all!

Pray for them as they're missing their parents love and that God will be their comforter and their refuge of strength!

Proud to be a Singaporean!

2009-08-09T22:14:00.003+07:00

Today is National day in Singapore! It's 44th year of independence. Such a young country some of you might say, but to me it's my country where I was born and brought up. In fact, the President has never changed since I was born. Haha!

Today we got to watch the Parade and celebration live on the internet. The connection was real good today and we got to watch the whole thing without the internet lagging. Thank God! =)

Aaragon's catch!

2009-08-07T21:40:00.003+07:00

Aragon has catched flies,birds and his favourite-frogs. This was his first catch of something different, a RAT! A HUGE RAT! I've never saw such a big one, it must have been eating alot.
It reminds me of this movie called "Ratatouille". Rats cooking up delicious meals,talking and doing things like stealing. Anyway, here goes the photo!! Sorry if you're an fury animal lover, I am too, but just not rats! =))

Post blessings!

2009-08-02T15:27:00.005+07:00

Birthday presents doesn't have to come on your birthday, it could come a month after too! =))

My present from my brother and my parents came a month after. Haha!

Parents got a keyboard which would be use in ministry if possible!

A package came from my brother, Cds and pretty paper! =))

Love you each one of you!

Kids day out! =))

2009-07-25T22:20:00.010+07:00

This was after their performance.
I'll let the pictures do the talking!

BNN News: Performance at BIG C!

2009-07-25T21:42:00.006+07:00

The kids went to perform at BIG C ( big shopping centre 60kms away) at Chiang rai! They were natural actors and they were great!

They sang and did some magic tricks. They also did a mime that was very meaningful. It was about kids that were on glu sniffing and having Satan always at the back of them telling them to do sinful actions. The conclusion was about Khun Abraham ( the BNN director) bringing them to BNN shelter and telling them about Jesus and how they recived Jesus in their hearts! I was touched at how much the kids has grown in their faith. As people came to watch them, they were giving out tracts! =))

His love for us...

2009-07-19T21:39:00.010+07:00

His love covers all wrong.His love is unconditional whatever is it. His love overflows.

Whether you're discourage by life's trials or whether you're under a mountain of assignments God's always there to make a way through it. Hitting a wall won't be the end of things, gain strength and go over it.

The verse for this blog comes alive again.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 " Be joyful always; Pray continually; Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Be grateful for the circumstances that God gives us. Because you never know, He might want to mold us in character to a better person that will glorify Him.

Crazy weather

2009-07-13T20:47:00.005+07:00

I've been experiencing crazy weather these few weeks! It was nice and cool with rain a few weeks ago, very hot last week and back to heavy showers again!

On a personal note, I've been busy studying and teaching the kids at Baan nana. Dad teaches the older kids and I teach the younger kids. Still, the age range is from 4-9! I was wondering if they were capturing anything I taught last week. I went back the next week and they suprised me that they remembered some words I taught! I was so glad and encouraged!

sweetest 21st!

2009-07-06T19:53:00.009+07:00

BLESSED 21st BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST JIE!

May God Bless and guide you as you face a new chapter in life. May you rejoice in Him whatever circumstances as He has a great plan for you. It is a special time in your life where you can learn and experience Him through studying at EAST! You mean the world to me! You're an example to many especially me. Continue to shine that beautiful radiant light! I love you and know that I'll always be praying for you! Blessed 21st!

Bapti-sama ( Baptism)

2009-07-05T16:06:00.007+07:00

31 Baan nana kids were baptised today! Praise God!

God showered His blessings by letting the rain pour. The Baptism was held in the rain.
Everyone armed with rain coats, umbrellas or some without.

One by one they went down into the pond and was baptised. As the rest wait for their turn,

they were shivering in the rain!

I thank God for changing the kids lives and drawing them to Him!

BNN News: From Bible Club to Church Service

2009-06-29T14:29:00.008+07:00

Being back in Thailand has been quite a blast! On Friday, I returned to Baan nana to teach English. Some of the kids that previously joined are now attending school! Praise God!

On Saturday, they had an appreciation day. We were encourage by they're thoughtfulness. In that program, the staffs had also wanted to share their problems with the kids and how they can all work together to achieve goals.

Recently, the Baan nana Christian staff has formed a cell group and so every Saturday we would have a prayer meeting with dinner included! =)

Many things has been changing with Baan nana, and it's for the better. Previously, we would have a Bible Club for the kids every Sunday. Now, the Christian staffs will be taking over and having a proper service for both youth and children. The kids have been very active and we're all seeing the change in their lives.

Loving you always

Goodbyes seems almost normal to me, but this one I just couldn't overcome. No, it'll never be overcomed. This goodbye was to my dearest sister Lydia. She is going to be studying in Singapore at EAST Bible college for two years.

Here's a song I wrote for you Jie.

Traveled life together

Each path that we take
Each step of the way
God guide us through all days

Guide us through night and day

Oh and I feel like life's so amazing

I can't explain how much you mean to me

Life's slowly changing

Finding our way through life

You've been a blessing Jie

I'll see you over there

We've come a long way

We've traveled life together

I can't explain how much you mean to me

This song has expressed my feelings and I want to say I LOVE YOU JIE!!

BUSY- but not under Satan's yoke

Hello, Hello!

This week has been filled with many many activities. And the highlight of it was the Basic Life Seminar. It made me check my attitutes towards God, made restitutions and some vows.
It has taught me that life is never easy, but God will guide me through rough times because he allows for this kind of trials to mould a godly character in me. It taught me that when I face temptations I need to quote scripture to help me through. Engraft Romans 6 into my soul and make it my second nature.

I've been so busy, so God, please give me wisdom to set my piorities right.

Goodbye ( for a while!)

Fifteen years of life on earth. Wow! That flew by just too fast. Dad was telling me how I wasn't the "baby" or a young girl anymore. Sometimes I do wish I could go back to the innocent days playing in a carefree mode.

I just want to thank my family for this special day. You guys made it SOO special, suprising me with little details I won't even think of! And my friends! You all sent those little birthday wishes and the photots! Ahhh.. makes my heart melt! =))
And lastly, I'll like to thank the Lord for giving me fifteen years of life on this earth He made. I feel so blessed and I know I'm resting in His hands.

Teacher, just one more story!

So today was the first day of lessons at Baan na na for the kids that don't go to school.

There were about 15 kids and they were attentive! Better than expected.
We taught them the alphabets and the sounds of the letters- phonectics. The age range is so wide and so it was hard to teach them all. But with the grace of God, they were all quite attentive!

Tonight there was a prayer meeting and it was uplifting! One girl - Agar was telling me that her parents were Buddist, she asked," If they did good will they go to heaven? "No they wouldn't" And if they were going to die and believe the Lord at the last moment will they go to heaven. " Yes" " But why not now?Isn't it better to believe now?" She nodded and we prayed together. =)) Do pray for her, she's such a young girl with curiousity and a love for Christ.

This morning, I woke up to find a dead birdie outside of our house. Feathers all over from the balcony all the way to the grass. Aragon must have been the 'predator'. (tsk tsk, I fed him didn't I?)

As my dad was clearing it up, I was reminded that life is in God's hands. He controls our lives and He has different plans for us. For this bird, it must have been venturing on its own,-outside the protection of it's boundaries or its 'safe' areas. And thus, he was a prey to predators.

This lesson reminds me that I have my boundaries set by my authorities. And I have to respect it otherwise I might be a non-innocent 'prey'.

Life slowly changing...

W.E.L.C.O.M.E.

This blog has been created mainly because my sister is leaving for Singapore and there wouldn't be an "updater" on our ministry here in Thailand. It's also a place where I can share my thoughts about life. :)
I pray in all that I write, it'll glorify Jesus.
