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?

I am so thankful for what God has given me in Japan. I am thankful for the amazing Bible Study Fellowship here in Japan. Not only do we have a godly lady as our teaching leader, that speaks with great enthusiam, wisdom and clarity; but also have wonderful Japanese Christian ladies coming to seek the word of God with great desire and expectation EVERY WEEK. What wonderful works God has been doing here. I am super excited for God's cultivation in Japan, it's amazing!! I am thankful for the church I belong to. I am thankful for my bible study leader and lovely group members who greet me with love and care. The first time I went to the church, I was warmly welcomed by the people and never felt left out even for a minute! I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to share my faith with some people I have met. Please pray for my friend, who told me today that she would also like to come to church with me this Sunday. She is a girl in my dorm, from Cambodia and her name is............

I miss the Australian accent!

Since coming to Japan, I have met many Americans, but have only met one Australian. Hence have been hearing a lot more American accents than the Aussie accent. Just now I was listening to a sermon from Hillsong, and while listening to it, not only the message was great, but the Australian accent made me felt excited! The Australian English was very pleasing to my heart~ I love American accent, but Australian accent makes me think of Australia! It feels homey and makes my heart glad to hear. Wow, I didn't realise that I am already missing Australia until I hear the Australian speaking to me~~ This is rather funny. Logically, this shouldn't be the time to miss Australia but to enjoy every excitement that is in Japan. However, I think I am feeling a bit "home sick" already^^ Thanks to my trip to Japan. Until I came to Japan, I didn't know how much I love Australia. Japan is also fabulous! It's the country I have been longing to come, and now I am so thankful for ...

We are made to see God

Japan is so much fun. I live everyday with excitement and joy. Though there are some interesting culture differences I discovered in the past few weeks ;sometimes shocked, sometimes surprised, and sometimes amazed! 1. Women do not eat at small ramen shops(counter type/stand type) and Japanese beef-don shops alone. One day I went into the shop alone and was eyed by the chefs from the beginning to end. At the end, I realised there was not a female in the shop, but only males. After asking around some Japanese people, they told me that it is the way it is, no one knows why, but they just live according to it. There is no set rules restricting women from eating at those shops, but women just don't go in alone. 2. It is a manner to on the water flowing sound in the toilet. Without doing so, Japanese people feel embarassed. Put your hand over the black sensor and the water flowing sound starts. 3. Most people reading on the train have a non transparent book cover covering the title pa...
