This week consisted of going out to eat with people, going to Kobe for no apparent reason, and talking with a lot of people. It was a week filled with thinking, losing concentration, and doing a lot of work. Despite the craziness of life in Japan, I am enjoying being here. Though lately, I have been dreaming about people back home being in Japan or me being back home, but other than that I want to be able to think that this is my new home (not that I don’t miss home, I do :P).
I can definitely understand the difference between working at a church full-time compared to just being a member. God has been constantly teaching me about humility and challenging me to do things that I am not confident at or just not comfortable with. It is scary, tiring, and even frustrating at times, but only when I take my eyes and thoughts off of God. I understand the importance of the Word and how much I need God and his grace.
It is Passion Week, but it doesn’t feel like it here… Unfortunately they don’t do too much here during Good Friday, different from back home, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for me to not do anything or not remember what he has done for all of us. On Easter, we will be having a Special Praise and Prayer time after the service and I get to play guitar during that time (Finally! They have been making me play drums and bass more and more lately… I have only played guitar maybe 2-3 times…) and I am grateful for a chance to be a part of something so special and be in worship (which I love to do).
Sorry, but today I am being lazy and not writing as much… I will instead post some pictures :P
P.S. Maybe I will start working on a song today...? :)
