| Tokyo, Japan |
Who would have thought .. the country that I had always dreamed of to go to since I was little, is now the place where I'm standing at... I'm here... at JAPAN !!!!
Had arrived here since two days ago, and now it's my 3rd day at JAPAN! still... it feels so surreal, like I still can't believe it that I'm here... I reflected my life before I was here, I remembered when my colleague called me and congratulate me and told me, you got selected to go for the JICA training at JAPAN! at that moment, it was like my whole body felt jolted, I can feel my blood rushing all through my body! I answered my colleague calmly, what, wow, Thank you!!! and then after hanging up the phone, I immediately jump!! was extremely excited!!! haha... and that night I prayed and I thank God, for giving me this opportunity.
There was a time in my life, that I felt down, that I felt like this is going to be the end of me, I felt weak, I felt like giving up, like there's no hope left for me, I felt like my walls are crumbling to pieces and I'm just sitting there, lost, not knowing what to do... and that moment, I prayed to God... one of the things that I said to God was, " God... i'm really tired... give me strength to go through all my troubled times and i really wish i could rest from all of this...please give me a vacation or anything, just for me to go away and rest from all these problems, 3 days.. no.. 2 days... wait, even if its just a 30 minutes rest, i would still be extremely grateful... " ...
I was reading my bible one day and I found this verse :
1 Corinthians 2: 9
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard,and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him
1 Korintus 2: 9 "Apa yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh mata, dan tidak pernah didengar oleh telinga, dan yang tidak pernah timbul di dalam hati manusia: semua yang disediakan Allah untuk mereka yang mengasihi Dia"
nah... ini sudah terbukti... tidak pernah sa terfikir bahawa saya akan ke Jepun!!!! Tuhan telah menjawab doa ku, dia mengatakan iya, aku akan memberimu percutian,aku akan memberimu istirehat, dan dia menghantar saya ke Jepun. haha
God has answered my prayer, he said, I will give you rest, but not just any rest, I'll send you to Japan, not for a day or two, but for 2 months!!! Praise be to God... it have never crossed my mind that i'll get selected to go to Japan... I consider myself very lucky... all expenses are covered... and i get to travel all around Japan throughout this training course! and the timing was perfect... my life before was going downwards, everything doesn't seem to work out for me, there is not a single day that went by without problems.. everyday was a struggle for me.. but through all those troubled times, I stand firm, I believe that even if things don't look good now, God have great plans for me, and i continue to pray, i went to God whenever i feel down, sad, feeling negative, and he lifted me back up through the simplest of things but very great meaning and impact...God save me... every time.. all the time...despite all my sins... even at my darkest hours... even at my worst... he accepted me, he hugged me and welcomed me with open arms.. and i feel the love... and this trip to Japan, to some it might just be an ordinary circumstance, but to me it have a deeper and much greater meaning.. it was God's answer for me.. a gift from God for me... and i will cherish every single moment and will glorify his name in everything that i do... Thank you. and JAPAN, is amazinggggg!!!!
JAPAN, I'M IN LOVE!!!!!
