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.

What a fulfilled day!

I had a super busy day yesterday, but had a great time. From morning, I went to Uni to collect my exchange documents. Straight after that I went to a lovely friend's house to help clean her house for today's house inspection. She is planning to sell her house, so she needed her house to be abolutely spotless and we really worked hard to make it like a display house..... By the end of it, although there were still millions of things to do, it was better than it was. We went for a walk in the bush for a while afterwards, it was refreshing and indeed a great exercise after a month of staying at home. After the cleaning and bushwalking, I went straight to the city again to meet up my beloved friends for dinner. Shel had been in the US for exchange for one year and I was really excited to see her after one full year. Gracey is a quiet girl but is easy going and has a smile that make people feel comfortable and warm. During the meal, I couldn't help asking Shel many questions abo...

Yay! Accomodation in Japan is finally confirmed

I am going on a study exchange in Japan for six months from September and am really excited about it. It took seven months to know whether or not I was accepted. During these few months, it really tested my patience and trust in God. Talking about accomodation, it was indeed very confusing and frustrating. At the end of May, Waseda University opened their online housing questionnaire to all fall semester entry students. However, none of the Melbourne University applicants received any information about it. In fact, for a few months, we didn't hear anything about our application. Not until the 9th June, which was two days before the housing questionnaire deadline did we receive an email about our failure to submit one. The most confusing thing was that we didn't even know whether or not were accepted but the first email we received was about our failure to complete an application. I emailed our exchange coordinator soon after I received the email, but unfortunately she told us s...

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...
