Things I am thankful for!

The weekend ended on a rough note and Satan was really getting me down coming into this week, but the Lord is good and still on his throne. I wanted to celebrate that with a few photos of some of the blessings of the past few days.

Kaiten sushi with the team!

Skyping with Eugi is never dull

Claire, my pudding buddy

Quality time with our visitors from the PSW!

Ramen family

With our wonderful coaches Kristen and Jonathan

Got to skype with Lauren while sitting in our shower room...it was the only place I could go and not bother my roommate! Just one of many reasons small living spaces are so entertaining I guess.

Baptism at Tokyo Church of Christ...tears on tears, God is so good

Team and coaches

Also, Matthew 10, particularly verses 28-31 really blessed me this morning before campus. I pray the Lord uses them to empower and encourage you too.

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
