The new year 2007 present from God ^_^

2007-01-07T00:29:00.000+07:00

I would like to thanks God for the new year present.
A few month ago, I want to have book shelf for lots of book that were at the head of my bed.
I went to the shop to find one, but it was too expensive
and I am not sure that it will fit to the space in my room.
So I didn't buy it. I pray to God that I want to find one that fit to my space and not too expensive. After that I was busy and forgot about it.
Anyway, when I saw the book shelf I try to find one.
I cannot find one that OK.
Then at the night of the 30th of December 2006, I was going back to my room.
I saw the book shelf sit near the elevator.
I went down to the office of my dorm.
I asked the officer about that book shelf.
She told me that it was left by a room owner who don't want it.
And she told me that I can take it if I want to.
I told her that I will take it to my room.
T h a n k s G o d.
It is fit to my room space.
I got it for free.
I know that it is the thing that some one didn't want it.
But it is the best for my need.

Thanks God. He know what is the best for me.
He give me the best always.

Thanksssssssssssssssss God ^_^
I love You, my LORD.

Testimony of Xavier:

I would like to share all the great things that God has accomplished in my life. I came from a standard French Catholic family. We go to church only three times. When we where born and baptized, when we marry and when we die. We were very involved in the occult science—astrology, tarot, spiritism, Ouija board, etc. But I have one member of my family who never gave up sharing about Jesus and finally year after year, many of us where converted.

After my conversion, my mom was amazed at my sudden change and wanted to have the same peace that I have. Two years after, my dad was saved. We shared to him only a little about Jesus and he was not interested, but we kept on praying for his salvation.. One day, he followed my mom just to look at the church. But during preaching he was so overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit that he can’t stop crying. After service, he asked the Pastor how to become a Christian.

Now, it was the turn of my younger brother who was only 19 years old. He saw the change in my family and we started to really experience God. I’m sure that soon he’ll be born-again too.

These are the best moments of my life and I am sharing these to encourage all of you to never stop praying for your family members and friends. You can make a great impact. Do not worry about convicting them of their sins for this is the work of the Holy Spirit and He is working well.

All the honor and glory to my Lord Jesus Christ!

In my church, we are giving the offering to God for buying and building the church.
I pray to God that I want ot be part of this but I am student now and not much money that I have.
I keep trying to think abou how to make money.
Anyway, after I quit the job and go back to my study.
I had work as a part time for my last company.
I didn't finish all of the task so I am not sure my boss will pay me or not
and I am not to ask about that.
The time was pass for a while, I receive an e-mail from my old boss.
He told me that he clearing his mailbox and he found the work that I sent to him.
So he will pay me that.
I really forgot about this but God never forgot about us.
Thanks God, I have money to give the offering now.

In the summer of my third year of studying engineering, Nobody is at the university.
They went back to their homes because it was the long vacation.
Anyway, as the president of the Christian club, I had to borrow the things for our camp in the next three week.
I had to ask for borring many things from my faculty.
No problems about the borrowing.
After I got all the things that I want, the question is pop up in my head.
"How do I take all of these things to the Christian club's room?"
I called anyone but noone can help me in that time.
I told the staff that I would come back and took all of the things.

Then I walked out from the room.
I heard the voice in myself, in my heart.
"Go back and ask for the help from the staff. He will help you take all of the things to the
Christian club's room."
I wonder about that but I believed that the voice was come from God.
So I went back in the room and ask for the help.
I was surprise.
He told me that He had to go that way to pick his girl friend up.
He help me took the things onto his truck and drove me to the Christian club's room.
I was so happy and joyful. I knew that God is taking care of me all the time.
I was smilly even I had to do many things.

Thanks God.

God bless you.

If you can be anyone, who will you be?

2006-09-10T01:14:00.000+07:00

Who???

Why???

How and why I became a christian...

2006-09-08T20:45:00.000+07:00

Like I said before, I still didn't sure that who God is.
I had a lot of experiences with God.
I go to church every week.
I was not sure in my heart.
After I went to church for a month, I went to the camp with the Christian Club.
It is about 7 years ago.
During the camp, My friend send the message to me by pager.
She want me to call her. I didn't have mobile phone at that time.
I ask one of older sisiter in the club for borrowing her mobile phone.
She gave me and said "You may have to pray so you can call your friends because the signal is not good here".
I thought it is funny because I just want to make a call to my friend.
Why do I have to pray for this?
I tried to call my friend.
I didn't know why but I could not call my friend by the phone.
After I tried to call my friend for many times and I could not.
I thought of the thing that my older sister said to me.
I thought that I had a lot of experiences with God.
It may seem so simple in that time.
I just want to make a call.
Anyway, I pray to God "God I had a lot of experiences with You. I still not sure about you.
But this time would you please answer my prayer. Please let me call my friend successfully.
Then I will be sure that You are ture God and I will be christian and follow you all the rest of my life. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen."
After I pray, I tried to call my friend again.
Hallelujah!!!
It was work. I could call my friend.
During the ring of the phone, I heard the sound inside myself "You are my son. You can ask me for what you want.".
It was like I was in a day dream.
It seem so long for me.
My friend answered the phone and said "Hello... Hello... Hello..".
Then I went back to the real world. I talked to my friend.
After I talked to my friend, I thought of the thing that just happen to me.
I was certainly sure in my heart that God is a living God.
I decided that I would be christian in that time.
I truely became christian and I will follow God for the rest of my life.
Thanks God...

When I was in Thailand again, after I had been an exchanged student in US for a year(1997-1998).
I went to the special school (Tutor) and I met one of my friend.
I never known that he is christian. He ask me to go church with him.
I don't why he ask me that. I wonder about that.
Well, I decided to go with him. I learn more about Jesus.
Afterthat, I take the national test and get in the university for engineering.
At the university, we, the new students, have to do the activities together.
They seperated us to 40 group, each group about 40 people.
I am in the 11th group.
After I had done some activities, I talk to the older students in my group.
What s surprises??? They are christian. All of the older students in this group are members of Christian Club of the university.
The thing that make me very wonder is there was only one group from 40 of them was set up by Christian Club.
Oh my God!!!
I talk to the older students and shared them about my prayer that I prayed when I was in US about a year ago.
I went to church with them. I learnt many things about God from them and from people in the church.
Anyway, I still wonder about God and was not sure that God is really true God in that time.
I still went to church every weekend...

When I was in the 11th Grade, I had a chance to went to US by AFS(American Field Service) program. I was an exchanged student in US.
I went to church almost every week with my host family.
I heard more about God but I didn't get what I should do.
Anyway, I still remember the day that I heard the bible teacher say to every one on in the room on that Sunday. It was the Sunday that I had been in US for almost a year (AFS program is for year). He said that whoever want to know God or whoever want to know that God is living God, you can pray to Him and He will answer your pray.
I heard that and I thought I want to know who God is.
I want no money form God.
I don't want anything else.
All I want was "Who is God?".
I want to know Him if He is true God.
So I pray to Him.
"God if you are the true God and you can listen to me. Would you please do whatever to let me know you. That 's all I want from you. Thank you."
It was the first time that I pray to God.
After that, about 2 months, I went back to Thailand.
I almost forgot about my prayer...

My Dad had to work very hard.
My home is the bicycle shop and sells a lot of things.
