thank God for His protection!

a pretty eventful day. put up our first musical in chiangmai...at wachirawit school :) thank God for helping the singapore team to work well with the thai team and for seeing us through today's performance so smoothly :)

as part of his NTM tour, rev dave led the team to wat phrathat at doi suthep. according to legend, holy relics discovered during the reign of king kuena were placed in a "howdah" on the back of a white elephant which carried them to wat phrathat. the elephant then dropped dead due to fatigue from a long journey. oh yes, there are 306 steps leading up to the temple, which i thought was much easier to bear on my 2nd climb! :b



anyway...just 6 months ago, i was there with vivian and kris from the US team. i recalled praying for chiangmai with vivian as we stood at the view point overlooking chiangmai city, for God to send His people (even if it means us) to reach the "untold millions"...



thank God for safety as we travelled down doi suthep. while we were making a left turn down a slope, we lost control of the truck and it almost overturned. it was truly by God's grace that it didn't and we were really thankful. but just a few minutes later when we were back on level road, the door to the truck - which refused to budge no matter how the guys tugged at it to open it - suddenly swung open while the truck was moving pretty fast! thank God, drum and aof didn't fall off the truck =/ anyway, those of us at the back of the truck prayed together for God to bring us back to rev dave's home safely. and God did, despite a faulty brake, we were told! when we were back at rev dave's home, we tried opening the door that had swung open, and yeap, you guessed right - it refused to open.

m reminded that as we serve the Lord, our adversary will do what he can to stop us, but our God is still sovereign, and He's a God who will never let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. all praise to God! (in thai, san sern Pra Jao!)
