God never ceases to amaze me in how he provides for all our needs. Here's another massive praise point for God's provision of a great little townhouse. It's a 2 bedroom townhouse in a really good location close to the city, between my school and the orphanage, near the church, with a really good landlord who really wants to help look after me (apparently REALLY hard to find here) as she's going to repaint the place, provide extra furniture, a fridge and stove (believe it or not, stoves don't usually come with kitchens here), a bed, dining table, hot water for the bathroom (again - no, it's not a given). There's a restaurant 2 doors down if i need a good, quick, cheap feed, a laundry so i don't even need to do any washing or ironing, and it's really close to the shops and the bank. And she's happy to wait for me to move in in February (as i'll be away for a 10 days in January on at Hope Conference in Pattaya).
It's been pretty amazing how it's all happened as the townhouse was actually originally go to another family, but she thought that i'd be more suited to the townhouse and so she's found another place for this other family to move into so i can move in. So Praise God!! And there's a spare room too for anyone who wants to come and visit!
It's been a great day all around though. This morning, i also started my language classes and another great praise point is for an awesome teacher Khruu Kwan. She's awesome in being happy for me to not necessarily have to learn thai the 'conventional' way that the school teaches and is happy for me to be reading and writing Thai from the outset which i'm really happy about. She's also really nice and we seem to get on really well together. So something else to praise God for.
I'll try and get some photos of the townhouse and Khruu Kwan soon to post up :)
thanks for all your prayers. Know that God is hearing and answering them all!
Welcome to PlaaPlaaPlaa!
So you may be wondering why PlaaPlaaPlaa? What are those strange fish symbols above? What is ปลา and what does it mean? In short, this is a blog site, so surely there's going to be plenty of rambling. Unfortunately BlahBlahBlah was already taken, so I had to settle for the 'Plaa'. But there's actually more to it then just ramblings. The first fish symbol is actually a Christian symbol meaning ICTHUS - a greek acronymn which means "Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour". The other strange letters you see in the last fish is actually the thai word for fish which funnily enough is pronounced "Plaa". So when you put it all together, this site is going to be my ramblings in telling people about how Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Saviour in Thailand (with plenty of good stories about food in between). Happy reading.
Where am I?
i'll be based in Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand
