Hi there...
I guess it is about time for me to update what is going on with me and my life here in Thailand. It has been a while since last, but I try to keep up!! Now I do not have a Internet connection at home so I cannot keep running at the cafees everyday to do internet hehe....
Anyway..we are now living in Ubon Ratchathani, Isaan area again you might say. We have lived in this house before and what happened is, that we finished the stay at the school in Chiang Rai, on the 25th of July. After that the school was officially closed and we spent a few days there before we on sunday (the 27th) decided to take the bus to Ubon Ratchathani (where we always have felt at home...). This was possible because of a friend sensing that God was asking him to send us some money - praise God !!!!
Monday we went on the bus and tuesday arrived in Ubon and went to our "old home" (we lived here from october 2006 to may 2007). We was just relaxing and resting a few days, talking, thinking and praying. It is sort of difficult to realize that a school - YWAM Chiang Rai - where you have stayed for about 6 months and had a lot of friends/family and things to do - now suddenly was OVER, GONE, FINISH !!
On top of that was my thing about my fathers death which was in my mind also!
Then friday, as we kept wondering about our house in the village, Nam Yuen, we decided to go out there, pack the house down and just move, believing that there would be better oppurtunities in the City(Ubon).
God did provide for us, finances to do so and A LOT OF FAVOR....for example...God did send a few students (4) that we did know from the school, Nam Yuen Wittaya school, to come and help us packing the house down. All that was on saturday and we only did have 1 day to do all that, so we was quite tired - as we knew my wifes brother would come with the truck on sunday and moving!
We made it and God even send 3 people to help packing the truck for moving.....including our neighbour !! Thank God...and continously....my wifes brother would not even have any money at all for all his expenses (petrol etc.) for moving...WOW !!!
The owner of the house even returned a deposit for electric, which we long time ago forgot everything about that we did have hehe...!!
We really sensed that Gods favor was upon us and that it was like He was confirming to us that it was right to move to Ubon !!
Last sunday, the 3rd August, we then arrived to Ubon Ratchathani and now spent about 1 week settling the house in, opening boxes, cleaning and putting things in order...we are done and have a more presentable house by now !
Now we wonder and pray, what to do, our income is ZERO and like wise our bank account....our ideas is there, but at the moment we did not involve in everything and not sure what the next step us to do.......the cash-flow is limiting us, even I did not want it to be like that !!!
Soon I am going to Laos, Vientienne, again and try to get a new visa for stay in Thailand...please pray with us on all this !!
If any one read this and interested.....mail me your mail-adress and I will send you our latest newsletter for the month of August 2008.
May God be the shepherd for our lives, which He sure does qualify for !!! AMEN !!!
