I have seen God's plan for me, so why worry?

I am thankful to God that I have been accepted to go on exchange in Japan starting from September 2010. Although all the rest of the people who applied to Waseda were accepted, I still feel a sense that it was God's grace to me to put me in one of them. I cannot imagine that I deserve this honour to go to Waseda University for exchange and given the opportunity to pursue the long awaiting dream. And now IT HAS COME TRUE!!!!!!!!

The application process for this exchange was not easy. Firstly, before we actually applied, we had to have our academic scores averaging higher than 70 and 75 for the language subjects that the the country you intend to go speaks. Maintaining high marks at university is not considered an easy thing, and I believe it was more so for me. Secondly, to apply, there were many forms to fill in and documents to prepare, for example, academic references from the professors who have taught you , a complete study plan, two exchange essays(one for the home univeristy and one for the host university which comes later on) and a clear financial plan with supported documets,..etc. All the processes were complicated and a lot of attention was needed and organising the documents were time consuming ,too, not to mention the limited time we were given to have all the correct and adequate documents ready. I remember we were only given one week to collect all the information needed for the second round of the application and it was in the midst of our busiest assignment and test periods.

Back to answering the title, why did I say I have seen God's plan for me? The reason is because of the wonderful location BSF(Bible Study Fellowship) women evening class I found. It is located just 1.6km away from my "hopefully" future dormitory. More to be amazed, there is only 1 women class in the entire Japan, and it is just located perhaps 10 minutes walk from my future dormitory.

A quick note about BSF, it is a wonderful Christian Ministry for everyone who is intersted in whether exploring or learning more abour Christianity. It is highly recommened to those who wants to study the bible in depth, and the bonus is that it is totally FREE.

To be honest, I was quite worried about whether I will be able to stay in the Waseda International Student Dormitory. However, after looking up the location of the women BSF class, I was convinced that it must be God's plan for me to apply to Waseda, study with BSF and I will be able to stay in the Waseda International Student Dormitory before I even knew about it. Everything just perfectly ties together and I just can't think if I didn't live in Shinjuku and instead living perhaps 1 hour away from BSF class, what more special plans God has installed for me. Knowing that God is perfect and loves me, plus knowing the location between my hopefully future dormitory is enough to be comforted, no matter what the result will be. At the end, things will still turn out perfectly because it was God choice for me.

My choice for the dormitory room is to be staying in a sharing room with 1 other person. I really had no idea and the final decision was made after consulting with my mother, and I was quite satisfied with the decision made.

Yes, so the conclusion is that I shall not worry anymore and patiently wait for the final result that is "hopefully"coming at the end of July.

Walking warrior

I feel like I have become a walking warrior after coming to Japan. In Japan, walking is so important to get around places. These few days, my dorm mate and I have walked more than we imagined, thanks to our "gifts" in directions. The worst trip was the one to our ward office to apply for our alien registration card. It took almost 45 minutes to get there. However, the trip was suppose to take only 25 minutes, so basically we spent half of the time getting lost. Thanks to our fabulous sense of directions, we have walked a lot these few days. Almost equivalent to a month of walking distance when I was in Australia. This is Shibuya, a big shopping district for youngsters. The area is filled with restaurants, department stores and clothes shops. Both of our eyes are puffy due to too much walking under the hot sun. At Shibuya station Before we took this photo, we were asked by a Japanese television station if they could film us. However I told her we are foreigners that our Japa...

God is good, very very good!

This time I have again experienced God's love and promises for me. It has shown me clearly that God is faithful and He does things in His own timing. And Judy, TRUST that I AM~ Last week had been a hectic week as many unexpected events happened. As people know, I am planning to go to Japan, and have been renting a house. Hence, before going, I need to sell all the furniture I own and clear the house by 5 th August. A month ago, I started plannig and had organised a storage place to put away everything and was pleased. Unexpectantly, a week ago, I was notified that I was not able to put away any of the furniture in the planned storage place. With no other choice, I quickily tried to find someone to sell to, a person expressed great interest and promised to buy everything from me, however, at the end the person did not end up buying anything. As a result, all these series of events happened had given me incredible stress and burden. In fact, I became extremely worried as having to se...

John 9

JOHN 9 約翰福音 9:3-4, 25, 32-33, 38-39, 41 CUNP 耶穌回答說:「也不是這人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,是要在他身上顯出上帝的作為來。  People who are born disabled or people who fall into severe diseases, no one is at fault. It is only because God wants to reveal His glory. He wants His children to be saved eternally rather than dying eternally after this short life. 如果有人生來身體就殘缺,或後天得了病 ,耶穌說不是任何人的錯。上帝其實是要透過這些經歷彰顯祂的榮耀。祂想讓讓祂的孩子們不致滅亡反得永生。 趁著白日,我們必須做那差我來者的工;黑夜將到,就沒有人能做工了。  Jesus knows the work of salvation is urgent, we are never to delay. When judgement comes, no one is to be spared. 耶穌知道救贖的工是急迫的,我們不要拖延。當審判來之時,沒有一個人是能脫逃的。  他說:「他是個罪人不是,我不知道;有一件事我知道,從前我是眼瞎的,如今能看見了。」  The pharisees try to accuse the blind man and put fault on Jesus. However, the blind man did not agree with their claim about Jesus ad a sinner, rather, he presented what ws true to him. 法利賽人試圖降罪於耶穌! 從創世以來,未曾聽見有人把生來是瞎子的眼睛開了。 這人若不是從上帝來的,甚麼也不能做。」  Jesus is the only one who can heal and set people free from bondage. It was an unprecedented ev...
