Peace memorial park ~
Today for free Monday! (aka adventure day) we went to peace memorial park, which is a park made in dedication to having peace in Japan after the war. It was founded in 1995 I believe? And this is my third or fourth time going. It was such a huge blessing, it's a sad place but when I was talking to Naoko during dinner today, she said something really awesome about Gods awesome love. She said inside the museum for the peace park, we see man and sin that has corrupted this world, but when we go outside to the high up observation point, we look out at the beautiful land and ocean and rejoice and praise God for His beautiful creation. God is so truly amazing and God loves us chyoo much! God is good! He saved you and me. Praise the Lord!
Here are some pictures, sorry I didn't take alot. ごめね。here are a few though! I also added a few from the ride there and back. God blessed me so much, God is awesome! ^__^
Jesus loves you~

Faith...
Sorry for not updating much... these first two weeks have been really busy. God has blessed me so much with all my classes and minsitry. I have been blessed with getting to do children's ministry on sundays, and helping out at Kadena on tuesday's in Child care. I love these kids, and it's such a blessing to be able to share the love of Christ with them, even if it's just a hug or whipping a nose. ^__^
God has really been showing me His amazing faithfulness... even when I am not faithful...
Some of you know, but for about 4 months I have had a sickness called I.B.S, which basically means that my stomach does not digest food correctly. and so it makes eating very hard and causes tons of pain. but threw this God strengthened me with this verse, 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10,
"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in repraoches, in neds, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when i am weak, then I am strong."
God has shown me that when I am weak, HE is strong. and a friend of mine also pointed out that 'infirmities' can also mean a physical weakness, which GOd showed me that even though I have this sickness and it makes me weak, in God's strength I am strong.
And when I traveled to Okinawa for my 3rd semester, I ran into some trouble getting here. when I am stressed my I.B.S acts up and gets really bad to where i cannot even move hardly, and so I was super stressed from tons of school work from my second semester of Bible college, and also tons of SPiritual warfare. so when the day came to fly to OKinawa, Ic ould hardly even move. but GOd by HIs amazing grace, when I could not even move, God provided everything so I could rest and fly the following day. and God gave me the strength to go the following day.
God has also showed me HIs amazing faithfulness in finishing up my classes. God has blessed me with having extra time to finish my last two papers from last semester. I could never do it... but by God's strength I was able to. and GOd just continues to show me to rely completely on HIm and not myself.
there are so many other things that GOd has been showing me, but the one thing that sticks out the most is HIs faithfulness. during my 2nd semester of CCBC, GOd put it on my heart to start practicing the guitar again. and HE really blessed me so much with this. when I came to okinawa I was like, "GOd why did you have me practice when I will never use it here, no one knows I can play". but GOd just kept telling me that it does not matter what other people say or think, I am worshiping GOd to glorify HIs name and HIS name alone. we are not to be people pleasers but to please GOd. and so many times I worry about what other people say, but GOd keeps showing me that all that matters is what GOd says. and God has blessed me with being able to just worship HIm and also to play the box again also. GOd is truly amazing! ^__^
I have so much to say, but I will sum it up to this: GOd is faithfull, even when we are not. GOd cannot deny HImself and HE loves us so much. I don't deserve anything and yet everyday GOd pulls me through and blesses me way beyond what I Could ever imagine. God alwyas provides. and I want to encourage everyone to seek God, and His kingdom. and everything else falls into place... GOd is good!

Okinawa... First week halfway done...
This first week of my third semester is already almost done. Wahh... Fast~
I've been back for one week now and it's been such a blessing. God has continued to show me His amazing faithfulness and how He will never leave me not forsake me. God is good!
My first Sunday back was a huge blessing, I got to teach the toddlers for children's ministry. It was fun! And I also got to help at kadena this Tuesday, which was such a blessing. It had been almost two years since I've helped there. The kids were all grown up.
On Monday for free day before the semester started, me, Joel, Anna, Yuko, hae young and brevick went to nago for the 桜 (さくら) and went a
まつり(matsuri) it was a blessing and we were also able to see Manda and Eder, and Tim and ayu. Huge blessing, God has blessed me so much. All glory and honor be to God.
This semester I am taking:
-I.B.S (inductive bible study)
-Apologetics
-Romans
-1st Corinthians
-Ruth and Esther
-Prison Epistles
It's such a huge blessing to be able to take these classes this semester and God continues to pull me through and bless me so much. We don't deserve anything and yet God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ our savior to die for our sins.
I'll try to update more... Here are some pictures from my first week back.
