Looking ahead

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.


Who knows about tomorrow?

This is the 3rd week, I have been adjusting slowly. I'm trying to make the most of it even though it has been difficult at times being away from home. Life here is slower than in Bangkok. I always used to be busy so I don't really know how to deal with a slower pace of life-sort of. Ask me about tomorrow? Dude! Today, I don't even know how to survive. One day at a time! Yes, I can't help but wonder or sometimes doubtful what am I going to do with my future, school, life and bla bla bla...*sighs*

God only knows...

This is what I am doing, I will be thankful for each day. I'm thankful for the little things e.g. my blanket, skype, weather, foods, tram driver, teacher, classmates, church, friends, coffee, post, and etc.,

I am having a new relationship with God. Before I came here, I thought I had a really really good relationship with Him. In fact, that's true but if relationship means how to be connected or related with someone then this is going to be an another deeper level- "an intimate relationship" that I have never had with Him before.

So I sit quietly and wait for Him. You can't know someone you don't spend time with. Over a period of time, intimacy develope as a result of close contact with someone. Trust is built, confidence grows and heart changes.......

I'm not looking that far, I'm looking for today to be in His presence in everyday.

And..

Press on

People : "How long have you been in Melbourne?"
Me : "7 days"

God is the God who provides and forever He is faithful. He does not love me less, yet keeps showering me blessings and love in everywhere.

First couple of days here, I felt lonely and unsettled but my friend's sister has been very nice to me. She has helped me to settle in, showing me around and cooks thai foods for me. So, I don't miss thai foods or thai language. I don't miss anything in Bangkok but people- the ones I love. I have been around in the city of Melbourne, trying to get direction and observe people and everything. The difficult part is to get used to with the weather. It will take another week to get used to it- I guess. I'm still used to with Thailand time which is getting better, I expect that next week I will adjust better with Melbourne's time because I am starting Language school:)

It's Sunday and I'm very thankful that I was able to go to church this morning. They welcomed me with God's love. In the Kingdom of God, wherever you go you know that you're not alone though I don't know all of them yet but in Christ, I'm loved indeed and through His people, I'm very encouraged to press on and reminded myself that I am here to reaching my goal. It will not be easy but along the road but I will enjoy learning new things with His people, cultures differences and etc.

God is faithful. I am thankful for this opportunity that He has allowed me to be here in Melbourne. I even thought to myself " Would I be able to to do this?, Could I do it? to pursue a degree in Psychology?! It was not like in a movie. It's very difficult.. to get there..

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13


I can't do this alone. I put all my trust in Him because that's the only one thing I can do right now.

Seek first, His kingdom.
