110909 Friday [Phnom Penh]

Another long journey to take but I thank God for the time well spend. Read the book <> and I had so much realisation. Had a good reflection on my faith and there is so much I must repent about! Thank God for letting me realise my sin for Heaven is the place that I really want to go. Not just because I scared of hell (who's not if they have read the book<<>>) but also because I want to go to thee palace that the Lord has prepare for us and I want to be with Him forever.

After 5 hour bus ride I finally reached Phnom Penh. It was raining really heavily and it seems almost impossible to stop. In the book I read "The human way is to worry. The God's way is to trust." So I stop myself from worrying, believing that God will take care of such small issue. Anyway out of all the places I want to go there must be some indoor. Kriss recommended his friend, Ravy to be my tuk tuk driver in Phnom Penh. A really charming humble man whom you know you can trust upon 5 min of interaction. He ensured that the canvas was well-covered before driving off. Gosh this is the first time I'm travelling on a road that is so flooded! Thank God for the experience and I managed to reach the hotel safely and dry! And there's massage service at the hotel! Cool!

After I put down my backpack and came back down to meet Ravy, I experienced the impossible. The heavy rain actually stopped. Within 5 min? Unbelievable! God really never fail to show us miracles! And I was thinking what a pity I can snap a shot of the flood due to the canvas. Well check out the shots below as evidence of the miracles.

Now reflecting back, I really thank God for the rain in Siem Reap as well. Huey the air will be dusty with the red sand. But God has send the rain to wash the air for me. Yet it was not heavy rain but drizzles which allowed me to continue with my touring and photo taking. How much more do I need to be convinced of God's love for me.

I also thank God for sending Ravy to me through Kriss. Indeed as Kriss said, the people in Phnom Penh don't seem to be honest and pure as those people in Siem Reap. Their stares were so scrutinizing while those at Siem Reap are just innocent. Probably because it is more developed and as they receive more blessing from God, Satan's influence is greater too. Even the smell in the air is so different. You can sense stenches of decomposed stuff which is not detectable in Siem Reap though it not exactly very clean.

Choeung Ek killing field is the place that truly the place that shaken my iron heart. Known to be someone who don't shed a tear during sad movie and laugh during ghost movie (that's only after I learn about the spiritual world during bible study), I must admit that there is a strong urge in me to quickly get out of the place. For I couldn’t bear to learn more about how many innocent lives were killed by Pol Pot. A number of the leaders were educated in France and were exposed to French Revolution. It really pricks my heart to know that during the period of time when I'm born into God's earth, these innocent lives were executed without knowing in the first place. As many as 300 were killed in one day, and it included children and women. God manage the time so well for me that I got to watch a movie to understand more. And as I walked around the killing field, I have 2 pairs of Caucasian couples, one couple in front and another couple behind me. They were like angels sent by God to be there to comfort me and boost my courage. The slight drizzle was like God's tears over all these innocent lives killed. And just like these innocent lives, if we don't quickly evangelise and share the words of God with them, they will end up in hell like these people not even knowing that it would happen to them! So people out there, come and know more about God! Don't be ignorant anymore! God wants to love you and have you in His Kingdom. But if you don't go to him or even reject Him, how can He give you His Kingdom? Wake up people and receive Christ! For the time is near and the Second Coming will here soon.
