Genesis 22:1-14

God glorified, us edified.

thank God for a really well-spent sunday. went to payap church today. didn't attend the service to help sis pat with her sunday sch class. i suppose it's like wat we call the creche at galilee, cept tt there are a lot fewer kids and the class is held in thai. and if the missionary kids don't understand thai, they can get pretty restless - at least tt's wat shelia & i noticed today.

ever woken up with a tune you've never heard but find so familiar, ringing in your mind? tt's wat happened after i got up from a short nap this afternoon. talk abt tt nap, shelia & i felt really idiotic this afternoon. we were taking an afternoon nap before we were to follow bro nat to anor worship service. we were told to be ready by 2.45pm but becos neither of us changed the timing on our watches/ hps to chiangmai time, we forgot and got ourselves ready by 2.30pm SINGAPORE time. got laughed at by sis pat cos it was only 1.30pm. -.-"

we got to attend the service at the chiangmai community church - the first church in chiangmai. was told this service is attended mostly by missionaries who have to minister to their own churches in the morning, so it's held in the afternoon. was really encouraged by this service...and truth be told, this is prolly the first time i felt comfortable worshipping with a worship team made up of 1 song leader, 2 backup singers, 2 guitarists, 2 flutists, 1 keyboardist, 1 violinist & a drummer. i couldn't help but notice tt the worship team was made up of ppl from different countries like myanmar, singapore, korean, uk, maybe us...this must be something like how worship will be like in heaven - regardless of styles of worship and denominations. beautiful. wat can be better than a church tt glorifies God, and edifies His ppl...

we didn't plan for it, but m sure it wasn't by chance either, tt we met dn chiam & his wife at the church. we all had a really great dinner at the black canyon. nice place, nice food, affordable price. there's one in singapore but m sure the price won't be the same...haa.

bumped into quite a no. of ppl this evening, esp at walking street - a night market tt's only around on sundays. anyway, tt's abt it for today. just wanna thank God for safety -which we always take for granted - whenever we travel, and for the wonderful ppl we meet.
