Back in the field!


Sawatdee-kha from Thailand!
Now I am back in the field again, it feels so good to be here. The flight to Thailand was great, it went so smoothly and there was no problem at all, praise God. Even though it was hard to say goodbye to my family and friends again, I am excited for this new season in my life that God has. God has spoken a lot things to my heart, and I know that this is not going to be easy, but I know one thing that when He opens the door, then no man can shut. And I know that he is always with me. So with that in mind, here I am ready to make some change.
I am currently living in a town house near the church I am gonna be working with. I lived with a couple from Pakistan, and down in the first floor (I live in the 3rd floor) is the House of Prayer. So it's a blessing to be able to be quiet and pray down there.



That is the view from my room. I got quite large room for my self, the room itself can contain 3 beds without a problem, so you know where to stay when you visit me in Thailand. :) I have two fans but I don't use both of them, one was given to me and the other one was from the last time I was here.


I am so grateful for my brothers and sisters here in Thailand. Jarred, my old team mate is here already, so we had a great time catching up and drinking coffee. A lot of my Thai friends came pick me up at the airport, I feel so blessed. Things are not fully set up yet with the ministry I am gonna be involved with, and that is one thing you can pray about. God had given me the vision, but now is the time to put into the reality. That I may have the concrete steps to make it happen.


That's a picture of the market, so you can get a glimpse of what "my city" looks like. :) I am taking the week to pray and ask God about the concrete steps that I need to take, and next week, Jasmine and Zach, my friends from Bethany are arriving. And also my brother and a friend from Indonesia are coming to visit. So it's going to be a busy week next week. I will update you on more things.

Thanks for reading, God bless each and every one of you!

My New House

Image
Like I said in my previous blog, that I have moved in to my new house with my new house mates: Jasmine and Amy. There is a lot of things we have to do for that house, but it came with a furniture and reasonable price. We were really happy to have the deal with that house because of the location, that it is near to the city, a walk to the students houses and a walk to the church I am working with. It's just a blessing to all of us. Couple of you have asked what the house look like, so here is some pictures of the house so you can have an idea how awesome our house is. :) This is the front of our house and here's a few shots on the inside. It is not completely arranged yet, but we're getting there. :) Yes, we are so blessed with such a nice house. My room is a lot smaller than the one I have before but I like it kind of small. That way I don't have to worry about cleaning it and filling it. Haha... I am just blessed, so blessed. And this is my new transportation around th

Leaving Thailand

Greetings! In January 2014 I will be ending my term as a missionary in Thailand and will be going home to Jakarta, Indonesia . The ministry that I work with in Chiang Mai is bearing a lot of fruits and things are going really well, but I feel like Indonesia is where the Lord is taking me for this next season. Jakarta, Indonesia, my home, I never thought that God will ever call me back home. When I give my life to serve in the mission field 7 years ago, I never thought that this will happen. But God really is calling me to go back home . And it was as clear as it can be to me. The ministry that I am doing with the youths here are flourishing, the Lord have blessed us so much this past two years, we were able to see growth, new believers and new thing in the Thai churches. But when I spoke with my dad (my senior pastor in Jakarta) couple of months back, he told me that the youth back in my church is falling apart. Ever since I left home, things are ju

Valentine's Day

Oh my... it's been ages since I updated this blog. I am terribly sorry. Ever since I got back to Jakarta, everything just kind of go in super fast pace. Just like the city. For almost 3 years I lived in Chiang Mai where everything is kind of slow and feels laid back, getting back in the mega city has not been easy at all. Though I am entering my 3rd year here, I found it very hard still to find things that I enjoy here (besides friends and family of course). Today is Valentine's Day. For a single girl like me it doesn't feel any different than any other day to be honest. But with the social media and peer pressure on single girl in her late 20s, today can be a tough day to face. I say goodbye to dating a long time ago, I used to date when I was in High School but not anymore since then. I have decided to follow God's calling and took the harder road in leaving home and study as well as serving others in the other side of the world. Many of you are familiar with my s
