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.

Jesus lifehouse

I went to church today, and the name of the church is Jesus lifehouse. It's a Japanese and English bilingual church situated not too far from the heart of Tokyo. Thanks to Shermayne's friend- Kat, that I am able to find a church immediately after my arrival in Japan. Moreover, the church is not too far from my dormitory either, it only takes about half an hour to get there by train. In Japan, this is considered quite close. There are four services surprsingly, people get to choose the best time that suits them. The one I went was the 1pm service as was suggested by Kat. This is a pretty good time for me as well. The hall was smaller than I expected, but when I got there, the service had already started and was already filled with people. The music was quite loud though, people were singing, clapping and dancing around. Jesus lifehouse is probably a smaller version of Planetshakers in Melbourne, coincidentally that the English pastor is an Australian, too. Apparently he is from ...

Disneyland!!

What has Jude being doing these days? Well , firstly, I have been playing hard, and surprisingly studying hard, too. The workload here in Japan is more than Melb Uni, I have more contact hours and there is always tests and homework after each lesson. So I have no choice but to manage my schedule better, to balance my study and play time better. Thank God that since coming to Japan, I have made many many great friends. They are just so wonderful and have been a big part of my life here in Japan. I thank God this is the answer to my prayer, because I prayed that I would make many friends here and have a great time together, and this is happening, and I am sure more are to come. OK HERE COMES DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you think of Tokyo, Disneyland is something you cannot miss. Although the name of the park is known asTokyo Disneyland, however, it is actually situated in the neighbouring prefecture called Chiba. Anyway, my lovely friend-Lydia and I took a crazy night trip to the Amazin...

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...
