Commence!: Well God, If You Say So...

Hi.

First of all I want to say, Happy Mother’s Day (母の日　おめでとう！／어머니날 축하해요!~) My mom is very precious to me and I love her so much! She has always been supportive of me even when things in my life don’t seem to be going well. She stuck by my side no matter how stupid I was. Thank you for all the years of love, support, and patience, I really wouldn’t be the person I am today without you!

So this past week, I have been either wondering what God is trying to say/teach me, or why God is saying what he is saying to me. Strange, no? I want God to speak to me, but when he does my response, in a very unsure and unenthusiastic way, “Well God, if you say so…” But I guess in subliminally, I mean “Ugh…not this again, so much faith and trust necessary, God why can’t you just show/tell me clearly more frequently…” There is a lot going on internally, and the only thing that I can cling to is God. It is funny that I came to that conclusion (but not really haha), because it’s God that is leaving me confused and even sometimes frustrated, but I cannot deny the countless times that God has provided for me when I was in situations like these. Ultimately, I guess my first response is the only response I can really truly say. Yeah… So if you guys can pray that I can see what God is trying to teach me during this season, that would be greatly appreciated!

Anyway… There was one big event this past Tuesday and it went extremely well! God gave us awesome weather, many people came (about 50!), a good mix of J-House members and Funky Club students, and just awesome time of fellowship! We had an American BBQ and I was so blessed and happy to see the people interacting so well and just enjoying/relaxing during their Golden Week! (For info on what Golden Week is, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan) :P ) We started around 11:30 and ended around 3:00, but the cool thing was after everything was over, people just came back to J-House and just chilled and had a good time enjoying people’s company. A lot of people didn’t leave until 7-8 PM! So I thank God for being gracious to us!
