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?

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 ...

God has not forgotten you

神未曾忘記過你  In the midst of hardship, it's so easy to be caught up in our circumstances. We may often wonder where God is and why doesn't He take away our pain? Genesis 39:2-3 2  The  Lord  was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.   3  When his master saw that the  Lord  was with him and that the  Lord  gave him success in everything he did. Though Joseph was wronged, faced unjust imprisonment, the Lord was always with Him. God's favour was on him even in the darkest times.  God was with Joseph all along, God will also be with you through the ups and downs of life. Do not be afraid, do not be dismayed, He will deliver you when the timing is right. Hang in there, pray always, submit your requests to Him and He will definitely come to your rescue. Will you choose to trust?

Was I right or wrong?

Yesterday I had very special encounter. It turned out to be a breathtaking one at the end and in fact I could be in danger, but I think I don't regret doing it. Around 12pm, I was walking towards the train station from home to go to the city. Along the way, I passed a lady who stood in the middle of the footpath looking dizzy, her head was down and wasn't standing properly. Though it was just a glance, I continued to walk for 5 metres, the image of the lady still remained in my head, in just a few seconds, a lot of coversations went on in my head. "Stop? No stop? You are going to be late for train. Go back to check up the lady." At the end I stopped, turned around and walked back towards the lady knowing I would be late for the train I was catching. I approached her and asked "Are you ok? Do you need a hand?" Nodded and shook her head. While talking to her, I saw two fresh wounds on her face, one on the corner of her right eyebrow and one on the edge of her ...
