Super Typhoon スーパー台風

So this Thursday (木曜日が) we have a huge typhoon coming (大きい台風を沖縄に来る)




It is a category 5 right now (今台風がカテゴリー5). When it reaches Okinawa it is expected to be the same. (沖縄に至る同じカテゴリー)

I am attempting to translate my own short posts. It's probably no good but I will do my best haha.

Poetry

Spur of the moment writing.

------------------

Woe is me, for I am undone.
I grabbed my bags and started to run.
To places I thought I could run and hide.
But all those things left me empty and dry.

Woe is me for I am a mess.
Lord stop me now I need to confess.
I've littered Your name with filth of words.
And I've left my heart on another's street curb.

Forgive me Lord I have to repent.
Every last ounce of my soul has been spent.
On the cares of this world and material things.
And You've been replaced by all of my bling.

Cleanse me Lord for I cannot see.
How You can see a new creation in me.
Make me new for now I know.
There's nothing inside me to regrow.

Change me Lord to be like You.
As being myself will just not do.
By my power I will be devoured.
By sin and my own infection.
By Your strength I will rise.
And in Your name is my might.

My Vimeo

So I needed some way to post the videos on my phone somewhere online. But I couldn't do it with anything but this site. So feel free to watch these. I am planning on doing more individual blog posts on these explaining them a bit better. But this can be a sneak peek.

Nakijin Youth Retreat

So I said I would write a post on this. Well I am finally getting around to it.

So the trip was awesome and was a huge blessing. I didn't get that many pictures though because I am not used to having a camera lol.

So to start off what was the whole trip?

This was a youth event organized by a group called JacobsGen with MTTM or Ministry To The Military. If I remember correctly this is a ministry that works with the youth on military bases or just kids of military. But I could be wrong.

They were led though to do one of these camps on Okinawa and it was a huge blessing.

So what did we do?




Jenny sharing the Word.


Nathan and the double rainbow
Keagen leading worship.


Romeo, Debbie, and Bryan performing a skit.


This was a seemingly pretty normal camp. We had teachings, worship, and some fun things. So why was this camp so different? I think the people made a difference. The group that came were such a blessing as their desire was to serve the Lord. They soaked things in prayer and were a blessing to serve alongside. It was refreshing to serve with a group who's passion was to bless the Lord.

I could share so much on what went on but I don't have the time to write it all down. But really it was a normal camp but I believe what made this different was the servants of the Lord who were there.

Thanks guys and I hope to see you next year.

Din Din

Well went to this restaurant with my family. Interesting pricing. We went for my grandmother's birthday. It was very cheap for what you got.






Good food and a good price. Gotta love it.

Ryohei

So I need to make up for the lack of posting.

Recently the Lord has really blessed me and that is with my cousin Ryohei deciding to become a follower of Christ.




I just got off of work so my hair is really crazy. But this is me and Ryohei. We were at some park in Urasoe.

But last week Ryohei decided to become a follower of Christ. He has been coming to the Church which has been a blessing to have him come. Please pray for him and the rest of my unsaved family.

Hmmmm

Hmmm well maybe I will actually start blogging again.

Recently I have gotten a job. It pays well but I am very very busy now. But good news is is that I am still able to do ministry in the Church. I have now started leading worship at the Church. It's been a blessing to be able to still serve the Lord.

So I am going to be using my phone to blog more often. So we shall see how this all works out. I am actually able to post pictures now but I don't think I will for this post.
