Yaak maak!

Yaak maak!! In Thai language it means "very hard!" Yeah, there's a lot of hardships that I need to endure while I'm here. Nothing too major though, but I definitely need God's grace to survive here. I mean, who doesn't right? Anyways, I make some friends from one organization named "the Lighthouse Ministry". They are affiliated with YWAM Chiang Mai and they provide guest houses. And I get connection with this one girl that work in the bars and she have some good friends that she introduces to me. So I thought, AWESOME! right? Yeah, so I went to the place once and get to know couple people there (can't really give much details, sorry) and really felt like this is what the Lord want me to do. I prayed about it and I really feel that the Lord is giving me peace to do this and He gave me this verse about, "This is the path... walk ye in it." So I was so encouraged and really starting to get excited about this ministry. But the program that

I have been really busy this last few days and I haven't been processed a lot of things that happened. I am kind of frustrated a bit, but I think it's a normal thing to have when you are in another country and live with a bunch of westerners, so it's like a double culture-shock. Praise God that His grace is sufficient for me! Anyways, last night I went to the Night Market, which is a really popular thing here in Chiang Mai, I mean tourist, and people are just sucked in to that place, because they sell pretty and cheap stuff. Anyways, this is my second time going to that place, not a very great place to be I have to say, since there's a lot of bars and "karaoke" where the women are all outside and wait for men to pick them up. Very sad picture. It never got to into me before and I am not sure why is that. But I've seen many-many woman with a man that are not their husband, and I feel like it's a reality and getting all emotional about it is not going to

Hardships

"Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over cummin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a stick. Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. Though he drives the wheels of his threshing cart over it, his horses do not grind it. All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom." Isaiah 28:27-29 God has been pondering that verse into my heart in these last few days. As I am reading "The Hinds Feet on the High Places", the Lord really teach me about this verse. Not everything will go as easy as I want it, but the most impirtant thing is that my Lord is in the control. Hardships and difficult time will come and eat you alive if you let them. And each one of us will be proccessed differently than other people. You don't proccess bread the same with the cummin. Just like us, one person has a unique pe

Sawatdee-ka! (Hello!)

Sawatdee-ka!! Greetings from Thailand, the land of smile. After a week we are being here, we finally got some wi-fi in our house. Thank God for technology! So, here is not much different than home, it's hot and humid and the food is cheap. We start learning Thai language, just some simple sentences so we're able to say hi and ask where is the bathroom (yeah, that's important). And we went to one of the greatest Buddhist temple called Doi Suthep,and they're right on top pf the mountain. That was pretty cool. A lot of my friends are still adjusting with the Asian culture. So please pray for them. We're on our orientation week for these two weeks, and then we're going to do language study for 12 weeks, 3 hours a day. Yep, that's gonna be a little intense, but I'm sure we're going to enjoy it. My newsletter is coming up soon. This is my picture with my team-mates when we're up in that temple. Kob-khun-ka! (Thank you!) God bless you. Beholding His glo
