Everything comes from God.

Corinthians 11:8-9,11-12 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man..... In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

Something I love about being a friend of Jesus

I have a BIG passion for sharing things I love, be it the smallest things like food (esp sweets), anime, teddy bears, music, movies, or something much bigger, Jesus.

In fact I'm quite good at sharing my passion, and my passion for funny things (like veggies and bears) is quite contageous. My housemate who never used to eat veggies now enjoy veggies when I cook for her :p

I just love to share what I love, and telling people what I love about the things I…

Let's remove the stone from our mind!

Hello everyone, I would like to share what I learned through the K.U. Bible Class.

The text was "Lazarus, come out !", John 11:28-44

Jesus performed the miracle by rising up Lazarus. Before it, Jesus instructed to take away the stone from the entrance of the tomb, but Martha was disobedient. She thought that it's too late and the body would smell bad. Her thought was very reasonable, I think.

In our daily lives, we…

There is no fear in love

Hi everyone, I would like to share what God encouraged me recently.

When I try to invite my friends to the events of the church, I sometimes have fear. Probably, I am afraid to be disliked by them and many negative thoughts come up into my mind. "She may think me to be persistent, bothersome or fanatical." Then I try to find the reason which I can escape into, " It's not the time of God. Next time, I will do", something like that. However, I cannot deceive myself. Yes, I just… Continue

Japanese Bible Class in Brisbane

Hi everyone,

I have been busy and it's been a while since I actually sat back and reflected about God.

Here in Brisbane, there are two major Japanese Christian groups.

One actually has a service called i-church, and another one is Japanese Christian Fellowship, which I have recently been joining when I can. I join their Bible study on Friday mornings.

They also have a…

Faith & the impossible!

Today, I celebrate and rejoice with my Lord. He has done the impossible and in doing so, has reminded me again that He has a plan for me here in Japan! And His plans are always bigger and better than ours! Even though I don`t have a new job contract yet, God gave me favour with immigration and gave me a 3-year visa. Now my faith is stirred for a new job!

And even though I don`t understand so many things about events thus far, I will trust the one who does understand and who knows all…

Prayer request

I have a received prayer request for Christians in India.
Indian Buddist fundamentalists have burnt down 20 churches last night.

They are planning to destroy 2oo churches and kill 2oo ministers in Orissa tonight.
Christians are currently hiding in small villages.

Please pray for them.

May peace be with you all.

"Choice"

I learned from Mathew 27:11-26 in the K. U. Bible Class last night. In the article, Jesus was on the court and stood before the Roman governor,Pilate. Pilate was afraid of the crowd and allowed them to kill Jesus. He knew that his choice was seriously wrong, however his authority,power, knowledge were useless for his fear.

On the contrary, Jesus was calm and filled with…

Joy (my personal testimony, nothing to do with Japan, hehe)

A breakthrough of the year, I've overcome the fear of singing :D

I decided to join the church choir for Easter this year :)

I came to believe in Jesus through gospel music.

I always loved singing, and the power I felt through gospel music was phenomenal in my life.

And that's how I became aware of something "spiritual".

It's been many years since I first knew gospel music as a mean to express my heart, maybe 7

years?…

as awkward as it seems....

I have started a year degree of writing Honour's Thesis with the School of Social Science in the University of Queensland, Australia. This gives me a very narrow opportunity to get into PhD curriculum, by Feb 2011.

I am aiming for that path, because of my love for studies and also my heart to work in Japanese universities and be the person of influence in a few years time. (I hope I am not repeating myself from other entries...).

Although I've become more sure that God…

the beautiful provision of God - friendship!

Over the years, God has taught me many times that He does not only give you the word of comfort in times of trouble, but He also gives you practical help in times of need.

Friendship has surely be one of the most precious provision of God for me these years.

During this trip in Kyoto, God keeps me amazed with His provision, especially friends. :)

During this trip alone, I met many people who share the same heart for the people in Kyoto and also for the young… Continue

Chii Roba ちいろば (ever ridden donkey)

From the Bible, we know that when Jesus went to the city of Jerusarem, he rode a young donkey who has never been ridden by anyone before.

This tells us that Jesus uses such small things/people, that don't worth much for other people .

Pastor Enomoto Yasuro, who established a local church in the 60s' in the area I live today, was very inspired by the ever ridden donkey.

Many pastors in Japan speak highly of him (oh, Pastor Enomoto is an amazing person, that's… Continue
