I guess you can see by the fact that not too far down you can see a message saying happy 2007 so you can say that I am quite bad about doing my blogs.  I want to take the time now to apologize for not being very active, and for putting up blogs with so many mistakes.  Such as the long one below about praying for your enemies.  I will rewrite that one as I can see now that it has too much of myself and not enough of what I want to say.  And it IS long, which can lead to misunderstandings.   Anyway I hope that you can see my point and that it will bless you. 

So happy 2008.  Hopefully you will see many more messages this year.  By the way it is the year of the mouse.  SQUEEK!!

God bless!!

I hope you are all well.   I wanted to share a message to you.  Though things seem to be bad,  and have been bad, I want to tell you that in all cases we can look to God.  He will provide, He doesn’t disapoint.  I know He doesn’t. 

So you may think this is errogant.  Perhaps.   Am I telling you a health wealth message?  No.  Not in a certain way.  I tell you this.  God provides for all our needs.  He gives in ways the world can not understand.  He gives peace beyond comprehension, and joy that overflows even when there is nothing. 

We have a King who still reigns.  No matter what science fiction writers say and those who believe them and write it as news say, He is alive.  Jesus IS alive, and he is HOLY, PURE, and HE IS GOD as the Bible has told, as the church has believed. 

No matter what your situation is today.  Know that HE DOES CARE, and that HE IS ABLE to HELP.  What are we Christians to do then?  Die to self.  Let the sin nature die, and be transformed by HIS SPIRIT into a new thing.  No matter what habbits you have, what trouble you are in.

JESUS CAN CHANGE IT!!!

So lets give thanks to God for this wonderful birth!  Merry Christmas!!

Now it has been a very very long time since I have written but seeing how my last message was so confrontational I wanted to make a new face to this blog.  After all is not a man more than words?  And speaking of words I have several to say about stereotypes.  As some of you may know this year is the year of the pig (actually the more respectable wild boar) both here in Japan and in China (the originator of the animal system).  I was born on the year of the pig myself and seeing how I was over weight from a toddler I must say that the stareotype didn’t make my life much better.  Remember no matter where you are from, the only identity that matters is your identity in God’s eyes.  He is not limited by the wrinkles on your hand, the month, or year of your birth.  If He can have Sarah give birth at over 100 years old just think about what He can do in your life!?  Even if you have a bad name like Jacob (userper) God can give you a new name like Israel.  And He already has. 

This year I want to encourage you to pray about How God sees you.  How you are special and precious to Him.  He has wonderful plans for your life, just ask Him and He will show you.
