Speaking of Jesus....

Speaking of Jesus... Have you heard about him?

He is a pretty cool guy. He loves hanging out at the bar and on the streets.
He is friends with anyone and everyone. He accepts you just the way you are. The more messed up you are, the better. He takes the ugly in this world and makes it beautiful. This is Jesus and he is my friend.

This guy is so faithful. He provides for all my needs. One of the best things about him is that I just have to fallow him. He came to love the world not create a religion. Getting to know him is as simple as touching his robe or going to the well. He freely heals the sick and gives life to the dead. He cast out the darkness and fills the empty places with light.

He has the power to give life and destroy. Jesus is all human and all God. This guy just blows me out of the water!

There is life in Jesus. People are drawn to Jesus. 

Christianity is all about fallowing Jesus, right? How many times do we talk about Jesus in our daily lives? Church? Bible studies? Could it be that we lost this guy in all the mumble jumble of our religion?

I encourage you all to read through the gospels again, asking Jesus to reveal himself to you. I did, and I am making a amazing friend.

General update:
Module 1 of language school is done. Today was the first day of Module 2.

I have been making friends at my apartment where I live and at school. I love hanging out with them all.
May you all have a blessed day!

A Peek in to My World



Hope you all enjoyed the video!

Here is a little update since I last wrote.
I am still going to school. Module 1 is almost over, Module 2 starts on Thursday. Overall I have been enjoying language school. It has been a challenge, but God has really blessed me with my previous knowledge of the language and thai people to practice with.

Life here is becoming normal. I am beginning to love the sights and smells of Thailand. There is nothing more thrilling then riding on the back of a motorcycle. Every day going out to get food or going to school in an adventure. You never know what will happen.

People in my area know me as Tukta, which means doll baby. They gave that name to me when I was here two years ago and still call me it.

The market is always the happening place. Many times there is a merry go round for the kids to ride on. Venders line the aisles. There are tons of fruits, vegetables, and meats. Smells of raw and dried fish fill the air. Thai and sometimes american songs play in the background. One of my favorite things to get at the market is corn. Corn is considered a sweet. They mix it with butter, sugar, and sometimes sweetened condensed milk. It is very delicious!

Rhonda and I have been getting to know some collage guys in our apartment building. They want to practice english with us. We usually sit out in the hall outside our door and talk. It is a good way for us to practice thai and them to practice english.


That is all I have for now! God bless!
