I am in Paradise

The gentle wind blowing on my body and slightly brushing my hair off my face, the calm sound of the waves on my ears, and the grandiose beauty before my eyes while lying on Ao Nang beach have led me to think of God and to see His glory as magnificently orchestrated in this idyllic moment.

I am in paradise; and I am highly favored to be living here.

My parents-in-law arrived about two weeks ago to visit me and my husband. With them, we had the privilege to explore Krabi province and uncover more of this breathtaking region. Experiencing some of its finest services, beaches, and cuisines has filled my heart with so much gratitude to the Lord; I would not have had this advantage if I wasn’t His child. I know how undeserving I am of this time in this place, but I also know how He delights in blessing me with His kindness. I felt His affectionate embrace in the generosity of this occasion and how this is all because of His grace in my life. I receive it with much excitement in my heart.

I am definitely blessed to be His child!

Traversing parts of Krabi we’ve never been before, I became more aware of His unparalleled creativity reflected in the striking landscapes and lovely faces of the Thai people. I felt how He longs for this country — for the Thai people — to one day call upon His name and declare Him as their Lord and Savior. This is my desire. This is my prayer.

My husband and I tried to seize the elegance of the locales we saw during this excursion, but the photographs lack the sense of intimacy with God that we encountered at the instance of being there as we took them. They don’t do justice of the fullness of the captivating scenes we saw, but I hope it will give you a sweet glimpse of our corner here in Thailand.
