Until I studied in high school. I’ve a lot of friends. One of them are Christian. She lives in a Christian children home. She always tell me about Jesus story and Christian’s activity. I’m not forget about Jesus story and still in my heart. I believe that God seeks me when I seek him. After that I’m interested. My friend invited me to go to her church. But I can’t go. When I graduated in high school. I came to Chiang Rai for study in University. During that time , My mom has a problem about her debt from her business. She hasn’t got enough money to send me to study and stay in dormitory. I don’t know how I can do for situation. I think about Jesus story that my friend told me. He can help me when I call to him. I decided call to him. Although I don’t know how to pray and don’t know Him well. I believe that He can help me and He really helps me. My father can help me to study and stay in dormitory. God still show His great is he through another friend that I can see His great. My friend ,her name is Daw ( meaning star ) Before she became a Christian. Her life is so perfect. Her family is rich. But she hasn’t got friend. She always drink when she has a problem. I met her and know her because we are in the same dorm. During that time , I studied hard .I didn’t see her about 3 months. When I see her again , she looks so happy and I can touch that something changed in her life. She said everything changed when she meet Jesus. I asked her many questions. Some question she can’t answer me but she bring me to “ Sing and Share group ” She said that someone can answer my question better than her. When I arrived, I meet the Campus Crusade Staff .They answer my question and tell a lot of things that I don’t know befor about Jesus. Jesus loves me. He died for my sin and He wants to make a good relationship with me. After that they asked me that I would like to accept Jesus is my savior. I said yes ! I believe that God has a plan for my life. He has a right time to call me to be His child by my faith. He chooses and know me . Since I accept Jesus is my savior . The bad things in my life gone and replce by new things from God. I want to know more Jesus. I came to a small group for learn about how to growth with God , spiritual life and how to pray etc. Then I went to church. At my first time , I can touch His love through all welcome from the other people that I never meet them before. It feels like I’ve known them for years.
During school holiday , I want to get home and tell my family when I become a Christian.I’m really worried about that. Because I’ve heard about some family opposed their children when they become a Christian and believe in God . Some family drive their children out from their home. My friend and I prayed together. When I pray , I heard whisper “ I’ll take care of you. Don’t be worried ” When I get home , I tell my family about I’m a Christian ,why I become a Christian ? I think they would be angry or blame me but they’re so glad when I said that and they also interested in my faith. I believe that God also has a good plan to call my family .
Meet Jack
I met Jack at the church when I went to church at my first time. He’s a Youth pastor and just came back from Australia for visit church ministries in Australia. I’ve just smiled him. After that we both work with the youth group together inside and outside the church that the reason I know him more .One day , he wants my telephone number and he wants it for church’s work.( He said ) A few week later , he call me .He always call me and ask me “ How are you ?” “ How about your class today ? ” and “ What are you doing ? ” I don’t know how does he feel with me . I started to pray. Two months later , he call me and tell me about his feeling and want me to be his girlfriend. I don’t forget to pray and ask God to protect us. A few week later , he didn’t call me. He call me again and said that he had to break off our relationship because his pastor disagree with the new believer will be a girlfriend of Youth pastor and the pastor said my parents are divorce. If we’ve got married , we’ll divorce like my parents He said. He should obey his pastor. I’m so sad . After that I never talk to him. My friend always encourage me and let me prove myself to the other. That time , God always encourage me to meet face to face with situations. He gives me His words in Psalm 119 :50 “ My comfort in my suffering is this ; your promise preserves my life ” and Isaiah 43 : 2-4 “ When you pass through the waters , I will be with you ; and when you pass through the rivers , they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire ,you will not be burned ; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I’m the Lord , your God , The holy one of Israel , your Savior ……. Since you’re precious and honored in my sight and because I love you. ” I still worship at the church about 2 months. One day , Jack call me and said that He wants to say sorry. He never happy when that things happened and he wants to start our relationship again until we’ve got married in 2006.
Serve God together
Before I work at our Church. I used to be a teacher .I worked 6 day a week – 10 hours a day and have just 1 day off that day is Sunday .I always think I can get much money when I work hard. But not I’m so tired and haven’t got a good relationship with the church’s member. I prayed for a while. I’m worried about our income. Because Jack works at church ,some month he can get his salary , some month not enough money.(That my first think before I left my job ) But when I decided to left the job. God always take care of us and I can see his blessing through member church , member church grow up with God , church’s work and outreach project through the Deeper still Ministry by Miss Julie that the Deeper still ministry help our youth to get lunch fee and help people to know Jesus
