I am so blessed

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.........sorry I am not sure, but I surely knows her face and her smile! And also for a Taiwanese lady from our dorm, too, not sure about her name either, but she is also interested in going. Come on, this is absolutely exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thankful for the Japanese lady I met last Sunday at church. She is not a Christian, but she is so caring and lovely that she accompanied me to the station I wanted to go all the way from church (30mins). Tonight I was very privileged to be able to have dinner together with the lady and her beautiful daughter, Miyako. I was very very touched by the way they treated me, although my Japanese is poor, they never laughed at me and kindly explained anything I didn't understand. They even told me to see them as my mum and sister in Japan! How wonderful is that~It's incredible and utterly indescribable.

These people are just so wonderful they cannot miss out knowing the best person in the universe-our King Jesus. My heart aches for Miyako when I think of her, although she didn't show any sign of unhappiness, but I just feel in the spirit that she needs God greatly. Oh, our merciful One, may your spirit rain down on Japan, we need you here. Please heal the broken-hearted and shine your light in the darkness of the world. Shout to the Lord all the earth and let us sing praise to the King, for only He truly heals and saves.

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 ...

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...

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...
