Type of Help
Last week I was thinking a lot about "if I was there what would I actually do?" Obviously I want to help out, and live my life there for the people. But in what way do I intend to help. I still don't know what will happen, I'm kind of "winging it" but I know now what I want to at least start without, and this is how I found out.
Yesterday I went to "Super Group" (Which is a group from the church with about 35 kids in it and 3 (main) leaders). On my way there again I had this thought of "what is it that I am to do?" and when I got there a little girl about the age of seven came up to me and asked me what I was doing. I was writing Hiragana , so I said "I am practicing writing in Japanese" I went on to explain how I want to do missionary work there and one day live there. She explained how her brother (whose about twelve) had went to Mexico and helped, She said that she wished she could have done this. I know how she feels, cause when Japan was hit I had that feeling, and so I told her somthing that I wish someone would have told me as a young child and I hope she values it. I said "Never forget that your never to young to change the world".
After leaving that night I realized what it is that I will do in Japan (or at least start with) and that is, working with children and youth. Which lead onto the next thought "Hey!, the future of Japan is the younger people, so to teach them is to teach the next generation right?!". All this is very existing and nothing less than a blessing.
~It's so interesting to me that the most meaningful conversations I have are usually with people significantly older or younger than me.

WOW
Insanity seems to be what path I am on right now! :D It's good to be crazy!
I have a plan to do some missions to Japan before grade 11 ! I am doing a lot to make it happen and I have A LOT to do. I have some support which is really nice.
When the tsunami hit Japan I wanted to do something about it not just give some money (money isn't personal help) I really did want to Go there but I am a student so it is not easy (maybe not even possible). I have felt like I've been sitting here while people are suffering. I don't intend to go build houses at least not yet. ya know? start small and then do bigger and bigger crazier and crazier things. God can make anything possible right?! I honestly believe that it's an easy thing to say but to be a kid put your entire future in his hands is a big deal, I am not just going to say "I believe in God existences" that is not the type of "Christian" I am going to be! I am going to be the kind to say "I am blessed to have the courage to give my live up for his work, I lived a life that was not easy, I want through lots and I was hard on my heart, but I changed lives!" I know some many people that go to church and stay involved but what are your motives? Do you go to church because it is a place to socialize? do you go because you think that will bring you happiness? well all these things are good yes, friendships are important, and it is important to have good influences and others that have a love for Jesus in your life. This may be harsh but It all means NOTHING if you don't do anything to share this love with others. Matthew 25:23 "The master said, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!".
Stop, Stop Procrastinating, Let God use you for crying out loud!
