Life in TW

Wow, I can't believe that it's been 12 days since I have been back. I thank God that this is one of the best holidays I have ever had for a long time. Perhaps because it's a time of transformation and a time to look forward to something new. But, one thing I also have to acknowledge and be thankful for is my church in Taiwan.

Thank God that mum and aunt are heavily involved in church activities so I am able to participate in various events and programs without having to go over the process of fear to making new friends or getting used to the environment again.

Looking back these 12 days, I can't believe how many activities I have already done and am so grateful to be able to make so many friends in such a short time.



Last week I went river tracing with a group of people from church.

This is only a photo from the internet. I posted this to show you what river tracing is like. It's self explanatory from the photo above. What you do is climbing against the water to reach the platform and jump down from there into the water.

It was such a great experience for everyone. Through this I saw that people learned to give others a hand and encourage others to try harder! Not only did I brought 5 big bruises back with me, but also brought back great personal experience and invaluable friendship.

Most importantly, I thank God for His grace for me. Thank God for growing me and continue His love for me. Most importantly, I have sensed a great revival in churches and seeing God doing great work in the hearts of the Taiwanese people. Thank God for my church, thank Him for His faithfulness for His churches and His people. I feel so blessed to be able to have a big family of God, a family who is always prepared to love and prepared to care for the people in need. I thank God for giving me a church which provide resources to equip Christians to grow deeper in God. I have learned so much during these 2 weeks and am so excited to learn more about God and see more lost ones come to our great saviour's arms and be comforted.

Jesus is my lover and my king. His love is perfect, I thank Him for loving me so I can pour out love to the people who need love. There is so much love in God, how can it be fake? It is only Love that can transform, and I am sure it is God's love that transformed me.

Once I was lost, but I am now found. Once I was depressed, but I am now joyful.

Who else can do this but Jesus?

Playing hard before Uni starts

We went to a place called Odaiba on Thursday. Since Uni is starting next Monday, we thought we should make the most out of our time here, hence planned a trip to the famous shopping heaven, (and a romantic place for couples at night).....Approximately 1 hour from our dormitory. My friend and I now have gained confidence in our direction after 10 days in Japan, and more praise to our acheivement in getting there without getting lost!! If you are good at directions, you probably have to imagine how meaningful it is to be able to get to a place without getting lost for direction blinds. Monorail station! The name of the monorail is Lily seagull, beautiful isn't it? The monorail track. The interior of the monorail. There weren't many people because it was a public holiday morning and the rain was pouring. Still I was very excited to be on the monorail, though my whole body was totally damped by the rain, including socks and shoes....... The weather in Japan has been strange th...

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 ...

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...
