And so 2007 comes to an end

And so it's coming to 31 Dec 2007. Step into new year of 2008. What am I supposed to do about it? Live a life worthy for the glory or God. Been trusting God for small and big things. And He is faithful. Well, sometimes didn't know why it happened that way. Then you knew it was not too bad.

Five things I trusted Him this year. I had my master degree completed. Got a new job, though might be opting for a new one. Having a blessed wedding preparation. Planned for a new research topic (finally found a bit idea but no details yet). For God's ministry to flourish.

Some small things that happened: I found back the parking card after left lying wide open for a day; the repairment of laptop with no hassle.

Some things that didn't happen as I wished: delayed hand over of the new house; did so little on the new research topic.

The LORD has been good as an overseer of my finance - just enough for the things here and there.
"Thank God because he's good, because his love never quits." Psalm 118:1 (The Message)

Thank God knowing that he is in control of small and big things, for his glory, if we let him.

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...

Kumano Kodo - Day 1

Just came back from Osaka last week. It was my personal and solo trip of the year. There were only two main focuses of the trip — the Kumano Kodo and the Expo 2025 Osaka. Let me share my experience from the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. Well, it felt more like a hike in my local hills. I chose a 4-day, 3-night walk with a boat trip included. This route was the simplest, covering only about 7 km of walking (though I added some extra distance for personal exploration). It was Route 3 of the Nakahechi route. By collecting 10 stamps along this route (at designated stamping points), I should be eligible for the Dual Pilgrim certificate if I complete the last 100 km on foot of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. All my accommodations and packed lunches were arranged through the official Kumano Travel website. Although the booking response was a bit slow, I managed to receive confirmation about 2 or 3 weeks before my flight.  To get to the Kumano area, I took a train (Kuroshio limited express) ...
