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.

Walking warrior

I feel like I have become a walking warrior after coming to Japan. In Japan, walking is so important to get around places. These few days, my dorm mate and I have walked more than we imagined, thanks to our "gifts" in directions. The worst trip was the one to our ward office to apply for our alien registration card. It took almost 45 minutes to get there. However, the trip was suppose to take only 25 minutes, so basically we spent half of the time getting lost. Thanks to our fabulous sense of directions, we have walked a lot these few days. Almost equivalent to a month of walking distance when I was in Australia. This is Shibuya, a big shopping district for youngsters. The area is filled with restaurants, department stores and clothes shops. Both of our eyes are puffy due to too much walking under the hot sun. At Shibuya station Before we took this photo, we were asked by a Japanese television station if they could film us. However I told her we are foreigners that our Japa...

God is good, very very good!

This time I have again experienced God's love and promises for me. It has shown me clearly that God is faithful and He does things in His own timing. And Judy, TRUST that I AM~ Last week had been a hectic week as many unexpected events happened. As people know, I am planning to go to Japan, and have been renting a house. Hence, before going, I need to sell all the furniture I own and clear the house by 5 th August. A month ago, I started plannig and had organised a storage place to put away everything and was pleased. Unexpectantly, a week ago, I was notified that I was not able to put away any of the furniture in the planned storage place. With no other choice, I quickily tried to find someone to sell to, a person expressed great interest and promised to buy everything from me, however, at the end the person did not end up buying anything. As a result, all these series of events happened had given me incredible stress and burden. In fact, I became extremely worried as having to se...

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...
