(Proverbs 17:22 GNB) Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time.
Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my savior.
(Habakkuk 3:17-18 GNB)
(Isaiah 51:11 GNB)
Those whom you have rescued will reach Jerusalem with gladness, singing and shouting for joy. They will be happy forever, forever free from sorrow and grief.
(Ecclesiastes 7:14 GNB)
When things are going well for you, be glad, and when trouble comes, just remember: God sends both happiness and trouble; you never know what is going to happen next.
Since God has allowed us to be happy, we will not worry too much about how short life is.
(Ecclesiastes 5:20 GNB)
Happy is the nation of whom this is true; happy are the people whose God is the LORD!
(Psalms 144:15 GNB)
"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
(John 15:11 GNB)

Trusting in Trouble
So I was recently was praying to God... I was asking God, "God just let things work out this way, so that I can just avoid all the trouble of it." Then as I was reading the word something just clicked I guess you could say.
Trying to avoid troubles like that isn't trusting God.
In a trust fall you show that you trust your friend how? By putting yourself into trouble and letting them save you.
Now I am not saying go get in a bunch of trouble so that God can save you.
But if you are trying to avoid troubles avoid hardships then you need to check your trust in God.
God might be leading you to do something, but being afraid of the troubles that thing "might" bring is not trusting Him.
If you know that God wants you to do something, don't avoid it because of troubles it might bring.
If you don't fall back in a trust fall it is because you don't trust in your friend.
You need to trust God in taking care of these problems, and follow Him.

Tonaki Jima 渡名喜島
I believe that is the right kanjis...
Anyways recently we went to a small island for a youth retreat called Tonaki.
The time there was amazing, a huge blessing. God really spoke to many of the youth.
I would love to write tons about it but I don't have the time at this time, as I have some work to do.
But I might later have the time to write about it.
But a basic overview...
Our theme for the camp was called Search Me. Our portion Psalms 139.
A few of us all taught a different section. I taught a section from 5-12 about following God.
Many of the youth asked for prayer to have a stronger relationship with Christ.
It was a very blessed time. Praise the Lord for it.
