1 John 1.7-10 Blog
The sky had opened, and torrents of rain drenched the crowd at the Billy Graham crusade in Fukuoka, Japan. Despite the cold and relentless downpour, I was amazed at the number of people who braved the weather to hear the message of Christ. My husband and I, soaked...
Picture this: I’m in my bedroom in sunny Arizona, USA, surrounded by the usual chaos of packing for an international trip. “In just three days, I’ll be heading back to Japan for three weeks,” I thought. Normally, I thrive on my daily walk and talk with the Lord, but as the...
I was sitting at the table eating a tasty meal, full of variety and nutrition. I still eat with a goal of 30-50 ingredients during the day even when I am by myself. As a teenager, I had a thyroid condition that disappeared by the right choices of food living in Japan.

We are called to be seated in Christ in...
Awaking with a song in my heart, during my early morning prayer time, a song of exaltation rose within me. One song followed another, some in the natural and others in tongues. I was probably joining the angels, or they were joining me. I have heard angels singing. The sound is beyond our concept...
I did not realize my brain enjoyed imagination. In school, I was not good at art, although I enjoyed classical music and played in an orchestra for a season. The school’s focus was on reading and writing. Math, I hated. I did not enjoy memorizing all the dates in history, either. Although I...
“Lord, Help! Why am I thinking about things that do not honor You? I love You and hate what has crept into my mind. I know it displeases You.” Negative thoughts, not from the Lord, immediately address them. Do not accept them! Rebuke the enemy and renounce these thoughts. Repent for...
“Mom, you are sitting on my duck. You are hurting him!” Big tears began rolling down Johnny’s face. His mom immediately stood up and understood what he meant as she looked down at the duck on his quilt. “I’m sorry!” she said. “Is this better?” she...
Transitioning From Fear into Faith
