A THAI dinner in Ina’s place

Tuesday, 27th January 2009

This is the 3rd day in which Ina is helping me to prepare my ILLW project.For which I’m extremely thanksful ofcourse. During the weekend she cameto my room in the dorm and spend the afternoon in here. Yesterday nightI suggested to send her to her place and have a walk a little walk around.When we were close to their apartment she offered me to stay in her placefor a while. Eventually I accepted, they were right to have a dinner. Theirfellow-tenant (a dutch) has prepared a dinner for them. A THAI meal including chicken with Vegetables and Rise. Wow it was so kind of him. They invited me to go and eat with them, I told them i’m going on the down floor in the kitchen only on condition that I’m not going to eat with them. However the Dutch guy invited me as well so I ate with them it was really delicision one of the most delicisios meal that I had here in the Netherlands! I asked him about his activities is he learning or studying. He said he is working as chef in a restaurant. After the dinner we had a long conversations. he shared that he is divorced until 2 years and he really misses his 13 year old child. He explained how hurted he is because of the fact that he saw his sons twice for 2 years. In fact yes terrible stuff .. He then started sharing more and more for his life. It happened that beforehe became a professional chef he used to work in a theater he was an artist. He told us a bit for his past when he was working as a prince in the biggest nowdays fairy tales park in the Netherlands. We spoke a lot about religion as well, because I told him that if he wants things with the relations with his sons to get better then he can pray. I explained him that prayer works and told him about my saviour and Lord Jesus. And how I called upon the Lord in my anguish and how God did heard my desperate and how he restored my health and all the miracles that he did for me and all the bad things he has delivered me from. Unfortunately, he was simply disbelieving. He shared later on that he was baptized in a Catholic Church and that he used to sing with the Church chorus. And he was a bit of I would say superstitious and at the same time he thought that he could achieve everything alone. He wanted to know about what is after death. So I pointed him to St. Seraphim rose and his famous work life after death. If somebody ou there haven’t red it yet then I warmly recommend his writtings. His work is called “Life After Death” and it’s nature is a description of the first 40 days after physical death. Read it please here . Unfortunately he was disbelieving as the conversation approached he shared that recently he went through a big shock and went completely dark his fellow-tenants called the hospital and the cops and he was psychicly unstable. So they sent him for a medication. He used to meet psychiatrists numerous times, he wanted to know what is wrong with him. Eventually he set himself through a hypnosis process. And the hopnotist told him that this problem is rooted in a bad accident that happened to him as a child. I asked him what happened and he said “Well I’ll told you what happened. I was raped!”. To be honest I was a little bit shocked to hear that revelation let out of his mouth .. Anyways I felt bad for the guy. I tried to tell him as much I could about God and explain him how I found God or better to say God found me … etc. etc. It was getting late and he decided to go to his room so I went back home I had a little prayer time (I prayed a little bit if it’s God will to save the guy) just like he had mercy on me the sinner back and is having the same mercy everyday.Today it was the first day for the new exchange students just like it is the first school day here for Ina’s brother and two other Bulgarians who use to live with Ina. This are Alexandrina and Ivan. I hope they’ll manage it and they’ll complete their studies just well.I’ll end up the post with a few words about today. Today I went to the university at 10:30 after I had my morning exercises and ate few bread slices with honey and a kiwi. I went to school met Ina there we worked on the project. Well to be honest I didn’t really worked much Ina is doing most of my project in ILLW which is so kind of her. What I mostly did is write a couple of emails to my colleague and research stuff about the project. In the university I drinked a coffee, well yes nowdays I’m drinking coffee sometimes. Around dinner time I ate some food from the food left from the exchange students (every semester the university organizes a lunch consisting mainly of sandwiches, tea some fruits a sort of hamburgers etc., becaues a lot of food remains, until the cleaner comes and gather the remaining food, everybody is free just to grasp as many food as he wants).Around 4:40 I was back in Honigkamp I don’t precisely remember what I did except that I know I researched stuff about the project and I was checking my mail regularly. I say HalleluYah! Because the whole day spiritually I was quite okay. Thanks Lord! Glory to the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit! Now and in the ages of Ages! Amen! Tomorrow afternoon in 17:45, Plamen (Papi)is coming in Den Bosch and then he should take a bus to Arnhem. And he is gonna stay in my place! Thanks to God for him coming here. He is a christian and yes when you have another christian life is much easier. Of course it’s up to God if he makes us to be in a good relations and have fun living together. Papi with whom I was pretty close for a long time has always supported me with few words or prayer in a hard times I went through before. Well he is protestant but if God permits and grants me I would try to direct him the orthodox faith just like Stelt (Stelio) a friend of mine directed me some time ago. The previous days were really hard for me .. as it could be seen from my previous post. Yesterday I had another great news Praise the Lord! Bless his Holy Name! I learned that I have passed with 70 in counseling (this was one of my modules here the previous semester). Glory be to God! Hallelujah!! AmenI’m still waiting for a grade for HRA but if God has said so I’ll pass there. Because I know it’s completely up to him, everything from the smalest detail in my life to the highest. Right now I’m experiencing God’s love and grace. Thank you merciful Lord that after the storm, youprovide me a peaceful days in your amazing grace! END—–
