Be strong and courageous

Joshua 1:7-9 NIV

"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua was chosen by God and was given instructions to be successul in what God chose Him to do.

It is sad to see that people don't understand or believe that-
Success in God is the greatest success we can have in life.

We seek success in life, even pray for success but often fail to follow the seemingly easy instructions from God.

When we do not succeed in things, we blame God.

God told us through Joshua, there are 2 ways to be successful
1) meditate God's Word day and night(devotion)

2) be careful to do everything written in it(application)

God NEVER forgets that we are in need or suffering. He is always with us wherever we go. He is more faithful than we can ever imagine. His faithfulness is eternal. When we obey and apply, we see fruits growing.

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...

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...

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...
