Sweet Fellowship

Today was Saturday. Saturday in Japan mean park ministry. A couple teams joined together and went to Yoyogi Park, the Central Park of sorts here in Tokyo. After a quick picnic lunch we split off into pairs to prayer walk and meet people. My friend Cara and I prayer walked for about 2 and a half hours all around the park. It was such a good solid prayer time. My soul had been longing for that more than I realized. After that we headed to the nearest McDonald's for some air conditioning and hopefully some great conversations with people. Well after sitting down and looking all over the place for girls to talk to, we didn't feel led to talk to anyone. Two different sets of girls sat on either side of us but we knew that neither were right, it would just be forcing it. We finally decided to quit looking and just talk. It was easily one of the most encouraging conversations I have had in a long time. We talked about God and life and where we think God is taking us. Basically we planned our lives together filled with church planting, and inviting neighbors over for dinner. Now we just need husbands who are best friends to join it all haha. But seriously, even though we didn't get to share the gospel with anyone, we prayed for a total of 4 hours today. Four hours of prayer!! How wonderful is that?! We were also able to have a conversation that not only encouraged us but glorified Father just as much as if we got to share with people. It was so sweet to just fellowship. I love her so much. I love this group of sisters and brothers God has brought together. I have had so many amazing conversation. Things aren't perfect, we are still learning about each other. But it has been so great to live with people from all over the country and learn how we are all different and the same all at once. Please continue to pray for unity as we hit our stride and as the high school interns get here.

Tonight some friends and I are meeting our Japanese friend we met on a train. We feel like we have known them forever. Pray for opportunities to share with them and to continue our friendship with them.

God has been blowing up so many things in my heart and life. I am still figuring things out, and if you would like more details just message me and hopefully I will have my thoughts together enough to share. But basically, I have absolutely no idea what God wants me to do with my life past college other than seminary but everyday I am getting more and more excited to see what is next. I am so thankful to serve a God who is sovereign, has everything planned out since forever (literally), and is good and loving. I can't wait to see what God is going to let me do in His ministry somewhere in His world.

Thanks for praying! Love y'all!
