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?

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...

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...

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...
