Hallelujah!

Today, my brother accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord!!!

Romans 10:9-11

...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

もしあなたの口でイエスを主と告白し、

あなたの心で神はイエスを死者の中からよみがえらせてくださったと信じるなら、

あなたは救われるからです。

人は心に信じて義と認められ、口で告白して救われるのです。

聖書はこう言っています。「彼に信頼する者は、失望させられることがない。」

1Timothy2:4

God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

神は、すべての人が救われて、真理を知るようになるのを望んでおられます。

Acts16:31

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

主イエスを信じなさい。そうすれば、あなたもあなたの家族も救われます。

Thank you so much everyone for your prayer. Our God sure hears our prayers!

Amazing Work

God's amaing work taking place in my family in this past 2 months or so. It started with my brother facing a depression. Many things are happning for the first time in all of our lives. I have had the most chances to share with them, opportunities to be a light in such a time, to give my brother Scriputures, to pray with him and my mom besides myself praying alone. (my dad is rather being hard hearted) Such things I never imagined I would do especially with my family are really happening. God is definitely growing my faith and showing me what it is to really BELIEVE His promises. I so desire to see all my family coming to know the Lord as their Savior.

We, Christians, do have the Answer. Jesus is the Answer. I do not have anything according to the world's standard. But, we have EVERYTHING that the world doesn't know which they are missing out.

I want to see His miracle. Lord, SAVE MY FAMILY.

Will you all join me in prayer? Thank you so much everyone.
みんなの祈りを心からありがとう。It means so much.

神様の　愛と　癒しと　励ましと　休息も、

神様の　臨在と　偉大さと　やさしさ...

His Love, comfort, encouragement, and rest,

His presence, His greatness, His gentle kindness...　

I am thankful for such a privilege to know and have all that I need because of Him.

今日のみことば

Luke 12:33
...provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail...

Luke 9:23
"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."

Matthew 5:12
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven.


朽ちることのない宝を天に積み上げなさい。
だれでもわたしについて来たいと思うなら、
自分を捨て、日々自分の十字架を負い、そしてわたしについて来なさい。
喜びなさい。喜びおどりなさい。天ではあなたがたの報いは大きいから。

普段からよく耳にするみことばだけど、
実際にそのみことばを実行する時が今なのかも知れない。
Thank you Father for this opportunity once again to learn what it is to walk by Your Word って素直に心から祈れるように。。。

Blessing

Happy Birthday おばあちゃん。今年88歳になった my sweet grandma. Looking back at the year of 2006, I cannot help but see the miracle of God, can't thank enough to those who faithfully prayed for her with us. I am so thankful for the time I still get to have with her. 神さまありがとう。

April - 新生活

Sunset in Spring in Okinawa, and where I now work at. Well, sort of.

What does God have in store for me I wonder, this year in this place.

今日のみことば：

as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 1Peter 2:16

Easter Weekend

イザヤ53章

…彼は私たちの病を負い、私たちの痛みをになった。

…私たちのそむきの罪のために刺し通され、私たちの咎のために砕かれた。

彼への懲らしめが私たちに平安をもたらし、彼の打ち傷によって、私たちはいやされた。

…彼は、自分のいのちの激しい苦しみのあとを見て、満足する。

…彼らの咎を彼がになう。

彼は多くのひとの罪を負い、そむいた人たちのためにとりなしをする。

毎日の lunch on the 9th floor balcony. から。⇒⇒
Only 6 more days...
光となれますように。

グラタンish

Great dinner tonight.

& 最近の私 from mixi.

うーん 多分８年くらい。

固まってた、変わるはずない と思ってた、自分の中の、

～ある一面の変化～ に最近気づきはじめている真っ最中。 不思議な気持ち。

I never thought this part of me would ever change ever since 8 years ago,

but I've been seeing lately that it's been different and somehow changed.

I wonder if my Creator wants to do something new in me.

My Creator が何かしようとしているのかしら。

in His hand, by His hand, で変わっていく自分、

knowing that it's all for His glory, He is doing His work in me.

楽しみで幸せな人生 in His plan, only when you are in His hand.

Life is exciting when in the hands of Almighty.

かわいい

Andrew ありがとう。

1st Sunday of March

Such a beautiful day, clear sky with 降水確率 0%

All of a sudden, it got a little chilly and very cloudy,

but we still made it to the beach,

which I saw from the Church window earlier today.

何だか雲が今にも動きそうじゃない？

Unity in the family of Christ.

And we still are praying for Mana.

朝の散歩

Exodus 34:2

So be ready in the morning,

and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai,

and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain.

朝までに準備をし、朝シナイ山に登って、その山の頂でわたしの前に立て。

Psalm 88:13

But to You I have cried out, O LORD,

and in the morning my prayer comes before You.

しかし、主よ。

この私は、あなたに叫んでいます。

朝明けに、私の祈りはあなたのところに届きます。

Lamentation 3:22-23

Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,

because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.

私たちが滅びうせなかったのは、主の恵みによる。

主のあわれみは尽きないからだ。

それは朝ごとに新しい。「あなたの真実は力強い。」

Genesis 1:5

God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.

So the evening and the morning were the first day.

神は光を昼と名づけ、やみを夜と名づけられた。

夕があり、朝があった。第一日。

Not that it was super early morning. But yet, I felt like God still showed me a glimpse of what He has in the morning. There are things you can only enjoy at certain moments, that is how I feel. And there are definitely ones like it specifically in the morning, 多分. And the thing which I feel in the morning, which I can't express in words; the joy, the sweetness, the spirit lifted feeling, etc. is maybe, I thought, maybe in someway somewhat has a bit closeness with when one day we see Jesus our Morning Star, face to face.

朝の空気の中で感じる不思議な気持ちは、

もしかすると、いつか Jesus に会う時の感覚を、少し神さまが、見せてくれてるのかな。

だから、言葉では表せない不思議な素敵な感じなのかも知れない。と思った。

Revelation 22

There shall be no night there:

They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.

Behold, I am coming quickly.

I, Jesus, am the Bright and Morning Star.

February '08

Beautiful Sunday,


and another Sunday a couple weeks ago

with beloved sisters.

なるほど。

Same with men's heart,　かな。

お互いを思う気持ちって、

本当に honor を持って、

お互いが、神様にすごく愛されてる大切な存在であって、

私にとって、兄弟・姉妹なんだ。

大切に care する責任がある、って意識持たなきゃね。

Respect each other as brothers and sisters in Christ with such an honor knowing and understanding that's God's precious beloved. We are responsible to care for one anothre with HIS LOVE. No one belongs to us. Even we ourselves.

Forgive me, this is my BEST to express my feelings in English...

めでたい話

This girl in the middle, Yuka san from Tokyo,

Party in Heaven. Please join us in prayer for those girls in our fellowship who are now new in their faith.

for their growth in the grace and knowledge

of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Happy Anniversary

Today was my parents' 27th Wedding Anniversary. I believe how everything is now for our family is all because of their happy marriage for the past 27 years.

I am very grateful for the great parents.

It truly is a gift from above.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights... James 1:17

I want to thank them for being such wonderful parents to both my brother and I, and for all their hard work. Without them, there wouldn't have been the same today. I pray for their continual happy marriage with each other. And I PRAY that very soon, I will be able to post the great news about them coming to know their Savior and Lord. Until then, Lord increase my faith in you!

Yoshi

We love and miss you very much.
たくさんの愛と思い出をありがとうね。
May the hand of God lead you in every step of your life.

今日の空 part 2

I love our apartment. God is good.

The Year 2008

みんなで年越し game night at the Koinonia Cafe.

～あけおめ ２００８～

I have so many people I can call "family" and I know they will only increase as God continues to do His work in and through us.

I wish you all have another wonderful year in the Lord.

Thank you Jesus for the new year.

どんな新しい一年が待ってるんだろう。

Psalm 84:11

主は恵みと栄光を授け、正しく歩む者たちに、良いものを拒まれません。

The Lord will give grace and glory,

no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Happy New Year everyone!
