I Got Awesome Cousins

Hey everybody I just wanted to share that I am not the only one in my family to have the desire to reach out to others, Yes! In fact Two of my cousins have started blogs!! One of them is going on a Student exchange to Germany in March and is seeing as an opertunity to reach out to others and show them Jesus's Love, Lets pray that the lord will be with her and give her the courage to open and speak out.
And My other cousin is going on a missions trip to New Zealand with YWAM, it's great to see my own family do this! (Although I am sort of jealous) but they are both older so I just gotta keep in mind that "My time will come"
here's the blogs 
Germany
New Zealand
well thats all for today =3

Christmas is here once again! (I guess I feel obligated to make a post about Christmas haha (^_^)v)

Well I hope everyone remembers the true meaning of Christmas and if your a parent make sure your kids know why they celebrate Christmas.

Santa?

Well this mayt sound cruel or harsh (haha ^^) but I never grew up believing in santa, all i think of it know is "Well thats alright i didn't miss out on anything really, going and sitting on a strange mans lap, writing to a fat guy in a igloo, or thinking that rain dear fly and have red noses". Honestly it didn't go through the heart break of realizing that he wasn't real (or the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy) like other kids who were let down by realizing they had been lied too.

Instead I grew up with Christmas is Jesus's birth and Easter is his death and resurrection, I thought of it as  bothersome as a kid (not that I disagreed with it but i just wanted my chocolate and presents, like a kid would right?) but I am thankful for mom being relentless about it because it is important after all he is the bridge between us and the father.

So far for me Christmas has been exciting because I know that me and my family will have a Christmas dinner, It's always fun because despite the age differences and disagreements we always have good laughs. This year it will be at my sisters house which has just finished all the major construction, I hope I can sleep there on Christmas eve ^^. 

we are all squinting from the sun XD

Also Yesterday I found this church called Jesus Life House! In Japan there is one in Osaka, Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Sendai and Sapporo! How Cool!! Another place I really gotta check out! And it seems to be really bilingual (Although I am learning Japanese) I really gotta go there some day!!!

The Supply x Kevjumba - Episode 1: Education

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!

*Sigh* Monday

 

Mondays always seem so depressing, even though it's Halloween today it doesn't seem like anything to care about because it dosn't affect my day that much being 5'9 kinda means you gotta grow up fast. As silly as that seems it's true because people think you more mature think about it when you think of someone that is short the typical thing to think is small and innocent and when you think of someone tall it gives the impression of a bit more maturity. Well anyway my point with that is I can't go trick or treating but that's alright I am okay with that instead I am heading to my sisters to hand out candy and I still get to dress up I am gunna wear my Hakama and a Japanese robe top type-a-thing haha i hope other people dress up or that will be quite Awkward (hmm maybe I'll chicken out)

This is a Hakama.

Every time Halloween comes around being a Christian the topic always comes up "Should Christians Participate in Halloween" well the answer should be obvious "no" but instead we have been making our own versions of it and I think that's alright but it's also how you go about it dressing up in things that aren't "evil" is alright to. The background of Halloween is really bad and I think it should be more known among those who do participate because how Halloween came about should be reliant. Truthfully it's a bothersome topic and I'd say quite annoying just another thing to worry about for only one day but that's just me and my laziness. well this is only the start of the day I may expand on my day but we'll see. (Haha I do this like a journal because no two really read this XD)

 Well Today i took peanut out side and introduced him to Mr.Snow at first he really didn't like him and stayed as far as possible away from the snow but slowly he got more comfortable until he grew to love it!

 After this he was really muddy so it was time for a bath, he sure has gotten good at cooperating so it's really easy with him no fuss! but enough puppy talk.

One more thing most people know of what happened march 11th in Japan this year please pray for them don't forget what happened there is still lots that needs healing. But I think that even though there was lots of pain it is the perfect time for prayer and I believe that God will use this to bring them closer to him!

First Post

Well Hello there,How did you end up here ^_^ well i guess i am suppose to say some thing like "sorry this is my first time" or "well i have much to say but don't know how to put it" hmm Let Me Start Again.

Konban wa watashi wa Kari.
Good Evening, My name in Carly
I will always be incorporating my interests into my blog (of course) but also in the writing to make it more appealing to people with similar interests. For example I said "Let me star again" that is the last line in the first song of the Underoath Album Lost in the Sound of Separation I know that off the top of my head but that is just the kind of thing i will always be doing.

As I said before my blog will incorporate my interests so here are a few:
for Music I Like Lots of Kpop such as BigBang, 2NE1,Super Junior, SHINee, 2pm. I also like Japanese music Shugo Tokumaru, Halcali, Imari Tones, Asian Kung Fu Generation, lots more I gotta find. I am also a follower of Jesus and he is my friend! so I also love music that glorifies him yet i like the christian groups that arn't what you would call the normal Christian groups like Underoath, As I Lay Diening, The Almost, Come Back Kid, August Burns Red and Jars of Clay.

When It comes to books I guess you could call me Otaku, yes I buy Shonen Jump and LOTS of Manga Love Naruto and I own some Death Note, Bakuman, Bleach, Kimi Ni Todoke, Lucky Star, and i own curently Naruto book 1-52 :D

Movies:i don't watch many

People That I draw inspiration from Masashi Kishimoto and Takahiro Nakamine.
Support me (i think haha) Taishi, Nicole, My Mommy :3, and Vanessa.
well thats all for now
