The last two months have been CRAZY! I'm thankful for every moment of them... or trying to be... because I have grown, and I have learned, and I have worked on the person I am, and am becoming.  But it's so insane how life can go from seemingly flawless to difficult, sad, and even exhausting at times. 

What brings me peace and hope in these times, is that we have the most incredible, loving God.  

What scares me however, is that in these times when there it is a war zone going on in my head, it can be hard to hear God.  To feel directed by God.  And I long for that.  I want Him to speak boldly into my life, I want his loving hand on my life and I know it is, but sometimes when I can't see it directly, it's hard to stay positive.  And that's when it is scary. I want to live a life pleasing to Christ, but when I don't know exactly where He is directing me, I tend to get discouraged and back off from what I "think" I should  be doing. 

Do you know?

But every time I get down, The Lord's faithfulness and love shines through. And me, undeserving and selfish, am blessed immensely by our Father, and that..THAT is what gets me through difficult days, long nights, and sad mornings.

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:3-5

Thank you Lord for your love and faithfulness.

That time when Derek and Katie visited Okinawa...

I think I should start off saying I have the coolest brother ever, and due to the fact that he’s marrying Katie, I guess she’s cool by association. JK. She’s great too. What makes them even cooler is that fact that they came and visited our little Japanese island we call home. (Yes, it’s OURS!) After spending a few days in Tokyo, they flew down south to Japan’s “Hawaii”.      I’ll have you know, we checked the forecast the day they were arriving and it said rain for the next 6 days (the length of time they were here for). With lots of prayers, I’m so thankful to say that the weather was amazing the whole time they were here! It was sunny and warm and perfect. Thank you Jesus!   Arthur and I met Derek and Katie at the airport, only to be greeted with what I would picture as the Japanese version of them. They walked off with facemasks on and if it weren’t for their height, I may have mistaken them for true Japanese! ;) (see video below) They were s...

PURE JOY

Well, the moment almost every woman waits for in her life occurred for me at the beginning of this month. No, it wasn't getting my license.  No, it was not graduation high school.   No, it was not turning 21.   No, it was not graduating college.
