Its beautiful

Its beautiful, you can turn mistakes to miracles. The way that you still love me after all, Its beautiful.
So help me God forbid I never take for granted this endless love you give.

This song from eleventyseven encouraged me when i made a mistake that hurt someone else, but i God is bigger than my mistakes.

On a bus

Just riding on a bus. Across Thailand, its been more than 7 hours i think there is another 6 to go. Its good though, its the first time i've felt like i've had time to just stop and reflect. Things have been hard preparing for the wedding, but God has got us through so much of it. Yet it seems there are still a couple big road blocks seem to be present. Our bus today had to creep through on coming traffic, as the road had been blocked off. But eventually we got through with several near misses. Feels a bit like the current situation. But i know God will get us through even if its not the route we had expected. Praying for some miracles.

on my way to get beaten

I'm off to ChiangMai tonight which I'm looking forward too, as I haven't been there for a while, and its the place I feel most at home in Thailand, will be going there to meet the Sepak Takraw team which I was a part of starting in Perth, Australia. They have been touring Burma, and I'll be joining them for the rest of the tour of Thailand for the next ten days.

Then will be back to Korat to finish preparing some more things for the wedding. Then off to Bangkok to meet up with my family. Shane and Kim will be down from ChiangRai. Mum, Dad & Sis will be here for Oz. Then its not long till the wedding after that. Things have been pretty crazy busy with that, thus the reason for the lack of updates, also no high speed internet where I am is also another big reason.

Anyways thats all for now...

Fw: His ABSOLUTE protection

This is the email, that i received from my mum about what happened to my sis just a few days ago. God is good

Hi family.
Thought I'd fill you in on how the accident happened (as far as I understand, anyway)
It had been raining, the car slid across the road, starting spinning, and then heading backwards. The only thing that stopped it rolling down the embankment was a very large tree stump that the car crashed into. The car came to rest on its side. The back was pushed right up to the front seats.
After some difficulty and confusion, Camille and Erin got out of the car. There was no phone service in that area, and they were not able to call the emergency services. Everything seemed against them, except for one thing - God is on their side!! Camille heard a car, so she rushed up the embankment to wave it down. The driver caught a glimpse of her arm waving, and of course stopped. He administered first aid, and then sat with them for about an hour while others tried to get phone service to ring an ambulance. When this didn't happen he took them to a hospital, about an hour away. They stayed there the night. Camille had 2 stitches to her forehead and was treated for concussion. Erin was treated for a broken collar-bone. They are both now back home. Camille is bruised and a bit sore. Erin is still in a lot of pain and will need further treatment. I know she would appreciate prayers for her recovery.
Both girls definitely have experienced God's protection in this situation, and for this we give Him praise. He showed me today that it is His ABSOLUTE protection that He offers us. God is good!

Love,
Mum xoxox
