and just like that she was gone

I just said bye to my cousin Jie Aom. I can't believe that a year has already passed since she came over. We had dinner earlier tonight and we were just thinking about all the things we did when she first came to Perth and it seemed so long ago. But tomorrow at about lunch time, she will be on a plane heading back to Bangkok, and as quickly as she had come, she will be gone =( It never ceases to amaze me how people can spend such a short time in your life yet leave footprints in your heart that will remain forever. I thank God that He gave my brothers and I the blessing to really get to know and love one of our cousins who we never knew very well at all.

Jie Aom is leaving Perth as a non-Christian, but I thank God that she came as someone who didn't know anything about God and left knowing pretty much everything she could possibly know (with all of her questions answered by so many brothers and sisters here). I will keep praying for her, that even when she is in Thailand, and the odds are against her becoming a Christian, she will still have that faith and courage to put her life in the Lord's hands and become reborn into His kingdom.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.


Jie Aom, if you read this, always remember what you have learnt in Perth. We all love you very much and will keep praying that you will one day come to know and experience the most pure, true, genuine and eternal love of Christ, and that you will accept Him into your heart as your personal Lord and Saviour, and then introduce Him to our relatives back in Thailand. See you soon!
