When taking the first step onto a path, instinctively you look ahead to see what trials it may contain and where it will ultimately come to an end. Not knowing where a path will lead tends to cause uncertainty, fear, hesitation, and sometimes a choice to not take the unknown path and, instead, settle for one with a known destination. However, once choosing to begin a life of complete surrender to God's will and what He has planned for you, your path will be one whose full journey will be completely unknown to you. Though you don't know, God does, and He doesn't let you go it alone but walks with you through it all. The final destination is an eternal reward in heaven with He who is the king of kings, heavenly father, and a dear friend. I have begun my journey on this path and have taken the first step out by obeying His call on my life and coming to Japan as a full time Missionary. Although I do get anxious at times because I don't know completely what all lies ahead, it all disappears when I remember that He is by my side and taking me through it.
It all sounds so serious, and it is, partially, but it's also fun! God isn't a God only of fire and righteous fury, but also a God of fun, games, and love. He is delighted when we are delighted, heart broken when we are heart broken, cracks a joke or two when we are feeling down or even just for the fun of it. I absolutely love all that He does and am so thrilled to have chosen a path with such a dependable God as my everlasting companion!

I love Japan and the heart God has given me for this country. I'm glad to be able to share all that happens here! Join me as I begin my journey!
Good.
