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.

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...

Nothing is reliable except God

A lot of things happened in my life recently have made me realised truly how unreliable everything can be on earth . People whom you have trusted turned their backs from you, disappointed you, betrayed you, and have abused your kindness. You wholeheartedly believe that people will keep their promises like you do, however, a lot of times it turns out not so. People are sinners and are of the world, they don't do God's way, instead, they follow the world. They disappoint! They break the promises they made! At the end, they even leave the consequences to you and pretend they have done nothing wrong. My conclusion is: Nothing is reliable!!!! Everything on earth can makeyou feel frustrated!!! The good thing is that OUR GOD is reliable, the only person we can trust and rely on. When people turn their backs from you, God doesn't. God loves us and never disappoints us, His faithful love endures forever. His promises lasts forever and He loves us so much that He longs to give us His...

Yay! Accomodation in Japan is finally confirmed

I am going on a study exchange in Japan for six months from September and am really excited about it. It took seven months to know whether or not I was accepted. During these few months, it really tested my patience and trust in God. Talking about accomodation, it was indeed very confusing and frustrating. At the end of May, Waseda University opened their online housing questionnaire to all fall semester entry students. However, none of the Melbourne University applicants received any information about it. In fact, for a few months, we didn't hear anything about our application. Not until the 9th June, which was two days before the housing questionnaire deadline did we receive an email about our failure to submit one. The most confusing thing was that we didn't even know whether or not were accepted but the first email we received was about our failure to complete an application. I emailed our exchange coordinator soon after I received the email, but unfortunately she told us s...
