Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing...
信仰は聞いて、聞いて、何回も聞くことによって強められる！＾０＾
Hi guys! I think about you guys a lot, and pray for you. You are the treasure of Japan, the light of Japan, and no one can stop you from letting you be the man/woman He created you to be. You are lovely, you are beautiful, because He says so. I love you so much!!!! God is going to do something awesome in Japan!!!!!! He is faithful, and you guys have been faithful to Him. He will not let Himself not be glorified!!!!!^^ I respect you guys so much, and thank you for being an encouragement to me. You guys are a huge blessing.
These are things God has placed in my heart lately^^
My Japanese friends at Vision Banquet. ( an annual banquet at City Church where we thank God for His goodness, enjoy fellowship and good food, honor our volunteer workers, and hear the vision for the church that God has spoken to the pastor.)
Satomi, Mari, Yurika, Aya, and Aya. I go to their small group and we became so close! It is truely God's work that He gave me friends so quickyly.. God is so good and merciful>< Satomi and the Aya on the right go to NU with me. Aya has just finished her intership program at the City Church this summer, and she said God has taught her so much. Her strong faith, dependence on Him, faithfulness to Him, friendship with the Holy Spirit, obediece to God, is a great inspiration to me, and I truelly look up to her. We talk about God a lot, and we encourage each other. We pray together. I am truely blessed that God gave me sweet friends, and we are going to reach out to the international students together. ( Ofcourse, Americans,too, but somehow God has put in our hearts a burden for the internationals)
I was determined I will have no relationship with Japanese once I came to America at first. I thought it was unreasonable to hang out with them when I'm in America. But God had so much more, and He told me I had
racism- to Japanse!! I was shocked... He has taught me that I can learn so much from them, and we are to support and encourage each other. Now I realize how hard headed I was.... We shouldn't isolate ourselves, but we can be accountable to each other, and we can reach out to Americans^^.
Grandma Millie invited us for a picnic at her church^^We could eat awesome food. Thank God for the cafeteria, it helps you appreciate good food,lol^^
God is the ultimate Looker. I say to God " Look, God! " But God never says," Wow! I've never seen that that way!" or " Wow! Let me thinkg how can I save you" He has looked at things for a looooong time. We are the little looker. He is the big looker, yet when I complain, He is so patient to say " It's ok, I know. I'll take care of it." Never combine the word "Look!" with "God". It's like combining the word tooth brush with bath room...
God sees the entire parade... We only see things from our narrow point of view. But God is in the helicopter looking at everything... When something we don't like comes, we cry out " God, look!" But God says, " It's ok. This,too, shal pass. After this ugly one comes princessess waving,ha ha."
  
 
We go to Alpha at grandma's church every night.... God is a dad, so He doesn't have the luxary to afford percentages. If I had two kids and said" Well I'm praying that one of them will go to heaven, but that's 50% so it's quite good, right?" You guys would think I'm crazy... I had forgotten that He really wants each and every one of us. I've been such a look warm Christian, and it's hard to break that habit, but I pray God will help me grow>< Send us for your lost sheep, Jesus!!!
God is amazing. The week before I was only eating and talking to my Christian friends.But before I went to Alpha I prayed hard that He would sent me to the lost sheep, that I wanted my own spiritual babies, and it was my right as Abraham's desendents to have many spiritual babies. That night, I could tell 3 Japanese girls how awesome God is at Alpha, and explain to a girl who was hesitating to take baptism how it is important to God. It is totally a God thing! I am so little, but if we ask, he WILL use us>< God loves to use weak people^^
How dare I said to God" You can't save... " My God is so big, and He would not let Himself not be glorified... With other churches, we can take the whole University of Washington together! We can take Shizuoka together! We can take Seattle together!!!
Genesis 15
I'm tired of praying tent prayers, tent parties, and a tent life.... I want God to bring me out of my tent, and to see God's point of view.... Not my limited point of view. Just like Abraham was praying for one child, but God's plans were so much bigger, I want to expect A LOT from God. The stars were destined for us. We are Abraham's children, and we inherit the same promise. I was made to dream the stars. Let's expect big from God! Only God can bring me out of my tent, and let me see what He sees. God is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
