In the account of Noah's Ark, found in Genesis 5-10, God gives Noah a sign; a rainbow, His covenant to all men that he would never again flood the entire earth. The word covenant is used in scripture over 270 times, the word promise is used over 100 times. When we are in the midst of a trial in our lives, sometimes it is the hardest time to recall the promises of God; however, this is the time when it is most important to remember what God has promised to us, especially if you are His child.

Something I have found to be a huge blessing to me, is really studying the message of hymns or biblicaly inspired songs that we sing, or hear on the radio on a daily/weekly basis. It is my hope to use this blog as a way of sharing the lyrics to songs that have been a blessing to me, and how they have blessed me and reminded me of a promise given by God, and in turn be a blessing to others.

Too Blessed for Words

I appologize for not updating you all as frequently as I should. Now that school is out, maybe it will happen more often. I finished my year of school with a bang. I was concerned about some of my classes, and just barely passed some of them, but I PASSED...that's the important part. It turns out that I did a lot better second semester than first, so that was encourageing to me. I am now 4 credits from being a junior, and am super excited to see what the Lord is going to do in my life in the next 2 years.

I wanted to update you on the status of my trip. I have been praying about going to Guam for several weeks now, and was able to find housing arrangements for my stay. The only thing holding me back was the plane ticket to get there!! I literally 'cried out to the Lord' on several occasions 'and He heard my cry', I still don't have all the money I need for the trip, but I have gone ahead and purchased the plane ticket to Guam. I will be leaving Japan on August 18th and will be in Guam until Sept. 15th, I've always wanted to go to some pacific island for my birthday!! I am praying that the Lord will provide the additional money for my day to day needs, and I know he will!!

Thank you all for your faithful praying and reading to see what God has been doing in my life, I look forward to updating you from Japan and seeing what the Lord will continue to do.

Love from WI for the last time (until I return)
