I lived two years in Japan. Two very short years that made a very large dent in my heart. I went in obedience to a still, small voice I heard in my heart that asked me to leave my home, my Father and my Mother, and all things familiar, to follow Him. Not only did I fall deeper in love with Christ, but I fell in love with the people that He asked me to dwell amongst. So it is with ardent affliction that I receive the news of what has occurred there.

Although I cannot be there in person to offer relief, I know that our Heavenly Father will pour out His comfort upon the people of Japan. Our church is currently praying about how to get involved. Join us in prayer as we await leading from the Lord.
We all tend to have those plans, goals, projects, dreams...
"moments"... that we contemplate "one day" accomplishing. If there is one thing I have learned from accompanying my father through his journey with terminal illness is that life is fleeting. I'm purposing to embrace every moment and delight in the verifiable truth that we could live abundantly if we will only live now. I'm going to work on those unfinished projects. I'm going to share the love of Christ with strangers. I'm going to love like I've never loved before. I'm going to delight in the moment.
