From the front lines

This is such a different looking summer when it comes to... everything.  There are thirty-seven interns.  His faithfulness amazes me because we started out with only nine my first summer.  It is such a blessing to see how He has grown this ministry.  Its also very different the guys live about an hour and a half away while we still live in the same house that we did last summer.  He is drawing the Jpnese to Himself daily, it is so amazing!  Some one said four this week and around forty for the summer.  My mind is struggling to wrap its mind around that fact.  He is so amazing and perfect, He is going to be God of this city and when that day comes all will bow and acknowledge Him as king.  

He is doing so much and I am learning constantly.  Everyone I talk to in the apt. is teaching me more and more about who He truly is and helping me understand more.  This is a summer where He is capturing my heart in such a way I know there is no other I would ever want to worship.  Sometimes I forget that He loves me too and wants to.  The King of the universe wants to have a personal relationship with me.  The One who died for me on a cross still reaches out to me after all I have done wrong.  This amazing love and compassion I do not understand but know that the only way I can demonstrate that kind of love and compassion is though Him.  I am slowly learning that I can do nothing apart from Him and that I dont want to.  Why waste the energy to try and fight His sovereignty, His perfect will, His perfect plan, and His holiness.    He is Lord of all and we have a opportunity to serve and worship the one true God.
