Last minute

I think a lot of us like to do things in the last minute. I am organising for a group of 14 people including me to go to the football match. After all the hard work, two weeks ago I finally managed to book the tickets for everyone, however, yesterday some people told me they can not go today. This is annoying because everyone said they were going, but just the day before they tell you that they cannot go.

Even though the tickets were free, but there are still a lot of people wishing to go but do not have tickets. They are taking this for granted. Moreover, if they told me a few days earlier, I might be able to find people who may be interested to go.

Through this experience, I learn to be more reliable and trustworthy when promising someone for something. If there is anything urgent, I will try to tell the person as soon as possible, but NOT last minute.

I admire people who work as an event organiser, who constantly have to face all these last minute frustrations!

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 ...

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...

Revelation from sickness

I had a terrible tummy pain yesterday. The pain was so intense I vomitted and lost strength to speak. During the pain, I could not stop thinking and asking God why this kind of suffering fell on to me and wondered if I had done anything that caused this pain to fall on me. However I felt God reminded me of a promise in the bible that it was not because what sin my family or I have committed, but this happened so that the glory of God may be revealed. It was so much easier to blame on so many other things. When something terrible happens, we as humans like to find reasons and causes to justify the result. So we often start imagining and brainstorming the possiblities of the reasons that caused the problems. I did the same, during the pain, I started going over my family members and myself and guessed if any of us have dobe anything that caused God to anger hence rain down punishment on me. My conversations with God became honest and straightforward during my pain. I began to ask God...
