Procedure

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Phi 4:13

I need to think a lot about all the things those will happen in this summer. I don’t know how to figure it out yet. I have many questions to ask in each person.

First of all is I want to be in equipping time in the morning which they have in every morning except Saturday and Sunday. If I want to go to work in the afternoon, I need to be in the equipping, which will be take place at Cheung Doi Church. I have to ask Pii Gade then.

Next I have to identify exact date to leave by asking Sam that when he come back here. Then I would identify the date.

Later I need to talk to my dad that I will be stay longer and tell him when I leave Chiang Mai.

Last but not least, I will need to talk to Sam how I should work and how much I will get pay then talk to AJ. Jintana about all the results those come out.

So many things have to be getting through, to be thinking and to be finishing. From the verse I got this morning, I found that I could do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Conversation II

Boss: You are leaving in June, right?

Me: Yes.

Boss: You are sure about that, right?

Me: What about you? When will you leave?

Boss: After graduation.

Me: On the 8^th, right?

Boss: It might be after that one week.

Me: What about Jeremy?

Boss: He might leave in July.

Me: I’m not sure exactly which date I will leave.

Boss: Could you stay here until August? I want you to stay for the summer to look after the servers.

Me: Emm. I want to do that too. However, I need to talk to my dad first and can I do it for part-time.

Boss: You can do it either part-time or full time because we have the budget for that.

So the less of it is prayer and talk to my dad. I pray for this for a while then God answered me. I think my dad going to be okay with it but now I will pray that I will do it for part-time or full-time. If I do it for part-time, I will not have enough money to stay here.

Dad just called me!

Dad: Why don’t you send me the beads?

Me: I already send you the beads.

Dad: So did you put the wrong address again?

Me: I put 800/143

Dad: 143 is not our house.

Me: I’m so sorry….

I don’t know what to say I put the wrong address again. So dad blame me a bit the he said he will go look for the package at that house. I feel guilty now.

Showing Conversation

I have got a call in the morning form one of my friend yesterday.

Me: “Hello, Wah Ngai?”

Him: “Pii Jit …”

Me: “Emm…”

Him: “…(Quite)”

Me: “Mii Arai Rue Plaw?”

Him: “Mai Roo Ja Tham Yang Ngai Dee?”

Me: “Gead Arai Keun?” Started to be worried.

Him: “Mai Rue Waa Ja Tham Yang Ngai Dee, Tii Bahn Fai Dab…”

Then he told about the electric was out at his home and all the stuff of his sermon is on his computer. He did not print it out yet. Also, he did not know what to do.

Me: “Pii Suaw Arai Dai Mai?” I asked him how I could help him now.

Him: “Mai Rue”

Me: “Okay”

I do not know how to help him too but I thought that he called me because he knew I could help him. Therefore, after that, we discussed for a while to figure it out but we found out that either way that we talked it would not be a best way. After I hanged up the phone, I prayed to God to let the Holy Spirit work in him and He is really working. My friend did a good job even though he did not have all his note from his computer. Thanks God for doing this.

I’ve been reading one of my friend blog. Her blog is nice but she is not a Christian. Her blog is like the journal. She wrote what is her thought in each day. Sometime it’s very funny. Last time that she wrote about all the conversation those happened with her. I really like her idea. So it came up here with my blog with the conversation.

Thank you Nungning for the idea naa jaa…

After Brokeback mountain

Last night I went to see Brokeback Mountain. In the middle of the movie, I felt uncomfortable. The movie shows the emotional of each character. Each character has their own background. Movie show what the human being, how evil the human are. I read the review in Thai web they said the movie show social wall blocking their relationship going on.

For me: The movie show the intimately relationship of two men. Jack Twist is happily person had a dream like a child. Annis Del Mar is sad man who does not like to do something different to make himself better. He had very compression experience from his childhood. The movie make the S-word and F-word come out easily. I always heard those words. I always had this feeling when I saw this movie like “stop this behavior, can’t you guys see where it’s leading you?”

Therefore, these are my idea from this movie:

1. If they did not get drunk Annis could go to look after the sheep and they would not loose the sheep, they could not stay in the same tent, and they will not get in to that temptation. That thing would not happen.

2. After that Annis felt guilty but he lead his emotion and his friend to make him go on, not just stop it.

3. He knew at the first before they met that he will marry Almar after he finishes this job but he still doing the wrong thing.

4. Annis could stop Jack’s coming by do nothing after he got Jack’s postcard but he did not even though he has a happy family with two sweet daughters.

5. As the years roll by, these men wreck their own lives and those around them. Those people most endeared to them, people that they love, suffering because of their relationship. At Alma’s first sight of her husband and Jack in an “embrace,” the torture in her eyes teared over with utter disbelief, was almost too much to bear.

6. At first, they said they are not homosexual but if they are not and Jack is not then he should not go to Maxico to sleep with a boy prostitute.

7. At least two things I really like from this movie is the scene of the Brokeback Mountain. It is so pretty. Wyoming is so pretty. And other thing is the background music is so pretty too.

Well, I think the movie is good enough for the Oscar’s award but I will not recommend my friends to see it especially my Christian friends.

Before Brokeback Mountain

Someone mentioned me about Brokeback Mountain. He said it is very good movie but I have no idea about this movie before. So I googled it and I found many reviews of this movie. I found that this movie is going to get many Oscar Awards. Moreover, I found that this movie is about two men who have the intimacy relationship. Therefore, I tried to find the review of this movie from the Christians then I found it from Christiananswers.net. I read those review tried to find out what this movie want us to get after seeing it. I found that it is not just the Gay Western movie like this website tried to classify this movie at the first. Thus, I will go to see it tomorrow with my friend, Meaw. I will come to blog about this movie later after I see it.

I like his review.

There are, of course, other themes in the film, like what it means to be a male, and the expectations put on men in our society, but the primary theme is that mentioned above. So, in regards to what is perhaps the most controversial film of the year, I liked it. A lot. It made me think and it made me feel, which is more than most “acceptable” films can say. I’ve heard a lot about the “gay agenda” of this film, from both schools of thought, and all I can say is, try to look deeper. This movie has more important things to talk about than simply, “Gay is good.”

…I myself believe that homosexuality is a sin, however I don’t think that homosexuals are horrible people. They are, like all of us, simply looking for love and human connection. That their search is a bit misguided is not only beside the point, but is, in fact, all the more reason why we should show these people love. If we do that, they will see God, and, if that happens, He’ll take care of the rest. But the initial outreach is our responsibility.

Saul turned to be Paul

I read the book of Act this morning about Saul when Jesus made him to believe in Jesus. That makes me have some thought about this chapter. After I read these verses, I got my tear in my eyes. It is kind of sad thing the way that Jesus used Paul. These are the words that Jesus told Ananias after he asked Jesus that why he had to help Saul because he was a bad person, he harm all the Christian. This is what the answer from Jesus.

But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." Act 9:15-16

Jesus told that He would show Paul how much he must suffer for His name. From this chapter we could see how suffer he was in 2 Corinth 11:24-27.

Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.

But I can see how God used His people. He will choose His people from the lowest. And everyone can see how much Paul changed and no one could changed him like that except God. I feel very impressed to Paul this morning.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor 12:10

Vision

God gave me some vision. I have thought about when will be good time for me to leave Chiang Mai. I am leaving in the same time as three friends are leaving to the State. Not many people are going to be here for this summer. Therefore, I think I want to be here for Aggie and for helping training the Thai Interns here in Chiang Mai for a month until the end of July. I hope this will be work out all right. I need to start to collect my money to stay longer. I need to talk to Sam and ask about when he coming back. I can work here until he gets back to train new person. (I do not know who he/she will be)
