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.

Praise the Lord for His provision!!

Just thought I would put up a quick update letting everyone know that I have had an offer of additional fund being sent on a weekly basis until I have what I need. I'm not completely sure how much will be sent per week, but I will have a little extra money coming in to provide for personal expenses!! God is SO good, I had just read the other day the story of Peter's imprisonment in Acts 12. Verses 5 and 16 really stood out to me: '...prayer was made without ceasing of the church...and when they opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.' Are we so faithless in our prayers that we are amazed when God answers? Do we pray, really expecting God to answer, or just hoping He will? When I read this passage I began praying again for the additional finances I needed, but I also began praying that God would help be to trust Him to provide and not be amazed when He did.

Below are some additional pictures that I didn't get posted in my last update that I thought you might enjoy!!

Sunset on the Teshio River. Just a couple of the many Seagulls here, we also see Osprey and Crows, among others.

My first Japanese Starbucks drink. It cost about $6, but it was worth every penny, er yen (Japanese money).

Charity & I with one of the missionary family's kids that we met the other day!!
