Yummy Yummy at restaurant !

Uhm !!! Namm !! namm !!

Youa and I went to a restaurant to celabrate new year together. เอาน่า !! ครั้งหนึ่งในชีวิต ให้รางวัลกับตัวเองบ้าง เพราะราคาก็ไม่แพงสะจนจ่ายไม่ได้สะเมื่อไหร่ It was very lovely time. ได้พูดอะไร แบบผู้หญิง ๆ บ้าง หนุนใจซึ่งกันและกัน คุยนั่น คุยนี่กันเรื่อยเปื่อย ผู้หญิงจริง ๆ But the women of God.

What I am going to do in this new year ?

i Love the Lord with all your heart.

i Serve the Lord with all your soul.
i Help other with all your strength.





Each year, one of my other goals is to read the entire Bible. While listing it among my New Year’s resolutions, I noticed a bookmark on my desk. On one side was a brief appeal for people to take in foster children. On the other side were these words referring to that appeal: “Don’t read it. Live it. Real children. Real stories. Real life.” The people who produced the bookmark knew how easily we absorb information without acting on it. They wanted people to respond.

The Bible gives us all we needTo live our lives for God each day;But it won’t help if we don’t readThen follow what its pages say. —Sper

The value of the Bible consists not only in knowing it but obeying it.

CONCLUSION

"Prem 2008 in Kristiansand !!!!!"

Sunday, 21 September 2008 was the first day to work at the Hver dag school. I can’t imagine how it looked like. Before I came here I knew only one thing that I had to work with the Kids, but not who those kids are, where they was from, how they are. So there are quite many questions to come to my head. However the real thing that I know is the kids are very different the kids in my country.

Was I fearful?

No, I was not! But I was very exiting. Anyway the Show must go on.

.

Yes ! I can !!!!

I was quite lucky because I have been in church camps first, before I started to work at the people in this Vågsbygds church. So it was very good at that camps, I got to know my host family, my contact person, pastor and a lot of people from Vågsbygds church in the same time. I though, on the church services we didn’t have too much time to got to know each other. It was only 1 or 2 hours for each God service. It was not enough. However it was very nice for me that I started to knew a lot people at the church via this camp. At first day in the camp was very excited for me and also made me afraid too. So there were many questions came to my mind for example, how I should begin to talk with them, who is the one that I should talk with, what should I taking about, how and how and how.
Anyway, in the end I tried to be myself as much as I can. I just went out and started with an easy greeting word. And it was really working!!!! I thought those people need to talk with me too, but maybe they were shame to come to me and ask first. Only for the short time I knew a lot of people quite well and also had some family invited me to their home, even though we just knew each other. Through this situation can teach me some thing. Some time is not as bad as we thought. Don’t be afraid to do a beginning with some thing.
When I came back to the camp, my host family started to show me how I can go to the church. Because on Sunday we just came back from the camp and then on Monday I must went to the practice place. I used the bicycle to go to the practice place and from my home to the church or the practice place; it took about 10 Min. by bicycle or about 30 Min. by walking. I was really looking forward to go the work and was very excited too.

First day at the practice place was well, my leader have explain me and my teammate a lot of things for example; what we have to work and what were about our responsibilities at work place. However our main work was; we have to work with the children from 8 years to 15 year old.
Then the biggest challenge for me was; how can I help the kids to get to know more about Jesus! No matter they do not understand very well English or no matter I can’t speak very good Norwegian, but how can I help them to know more about our Savior. . I really hope that one day before I will go back to Hald I am going to stand in front of them and speak directly in Norwegians about Gospels and help them to get save by the cross of Jesus.
The question for my biggest challenge was; what I should begin?
Well, the first thing that I started; was smiling and do the good things for them. Hope that they and see the love of the God’s people though our work or though our task.

The partner organizations all together are 7 persons. We have very well connections and co operations. Every one has their responsibilities. So we just do our responsibilities and when we finish our own works and then we try to help each other as much as we can. Until now I have no problem with the partner organization at all. We are doing very well, especially sharing ideas for activities, decoration, paintings even made foods. I could help them very much more than I thought. I feel, I am really worker at this place not as a student who is practicing at this place at all. It might be; I am adult women and have some experiencing for working before, so I knew how to work, how to manage with the partner organization. Even though we are different culture but we can learn from each other.
And the best thing I feel; the partner organizations and I have the heart to be a servant of God. So it is very important for me than other thing.

Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. We enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry. We serve the Lord with gladness. Rick Warren.

Thank God that I am here. A lot of time when I have prayed I loved to said like Isaiah

“here I am, please send me”

To work with the kids is it not easy. We have to plan all most every day what we are going to do with them. Because we are not a normal school but we are the Kingdom of God’s School. We would like to be the flesh of his Kingdom and we need also to teach them about Jesus as the savior and about every thing in the Bible as much as we can. We did not only teach them directly about the Bible but we try to find the way to tell them about Bible via activities, reading, playing, games, movies, drama etc. Some ideas were work but some doesn’t work for them. However we believe in the scripture said

“Once there was a man who went out to sow grain. As he scattered the seed in the field, some of it fell along the path, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it up. Some of it fell on rocky ground, and when the plants sprouted, they dried up because the soil had no moisture. Some of the seed fell among thorn bushes, which grew up with the plant and choked them. And some seeds fell in good soil; the plants grew and bore grain, one hundred grains each.”

Luke 8: 5-8

“Great opportunities often disguise themselves in small tasks.”
