HOT!!!

ok!
i love Japan
but as much as i love Japan
i really wanna get away from here for many couple weeks
at least until it's not humid and hot

GOSH!
it has been 35℃ everyday for about a week
if it's just the heat
i can handle it
but in Japan
there is no 'just the heat'
humidity goes hand in hand

heat and humidity
i don't know about you
but personally I don't think it's a very pretty combination

am i ready?

yesterday
i went to Nagoya University for the psychology grad program open campus
lots of info
lots of worries
lots of challenges

i don't know if i am up for it
future in a year is unknown
and it's scary

yet
when i was driving home today
a hymn was ringing in my mind
'His eye is on the sparrow
and i know He watches me'

surrender
i thought i have already learned the lesson 2 years ago when i was waiting to get accepted to my present job
but i guess i have to learn it again
surrender

it's not easy
yet, it's necessary

am i ready?
i don't know

but i am willing to walk on the path that You have planned for me
and i know that You will lead me step by step

lesson

for the past couple weeks
God has been teaching me a very significant lesson in life


'I am nothing if God is not living in me'


i am realizing how insufficient, weak, selfish, imperfect, limited and sinful i am.
it hurts... it does。
but i am SO thankful and relieved and amazed.
for i KNOW (not think, know) i don't have to be afraid or ashamed for my weaknesses
because God has already made my insufficient, sufficient; weak, strong; selfish,unselfish; imperfect, perfect; limited, infinity; and sinful, pure.

there is nothing i can boast about myself but the power of God who is living in me.
