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.

When I am weak,then I am strong

Today's message reminds me to acknowledge my weakness as a human being and recognize my need for my source, my provider and my ABBA FATHER. God doesn’t need us to be strong in ourselves, our abilities, or our know-how! Proverbs 3:5,6 exhorts us,  Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and  He will make your paths straight. Often times I thought I was capable to do things well without anyone's help. However, the fact is--there are so many things in life I can't control. There had been occasions I knew I could do nothing to change the situation. During those times I was again reminded that we humans are so weak and helpless without God. What can we do then? 1. We acknowledge our weaknesses. Let’s admit our limitations. Without Christ, we are weak — and not just a little weak — we’re totally helpless and hopeless. But believer, we are not without Christ! 2. We rely on His strength! We are able to s...
