Journal of a "Bride" in New York

I write my daily experiences outside Japan.

Hakuba Camp

2017-07-29 | 日記


We have been to Hakuba in Nagano prepecture!

We had rainy days there but that brought us a relief from heat.



We have had lots of blessings!





We have many programs in our church camp and one of them is Gospel competition where selected gospel groups of our church group throughout the country gather together.

It was amazing! God's anointing was there!

I was so strengthened and refreshed.

I give thanks to the Lord for this opportunity to participate in the camp.


To Shimane 2

We have come to the church our mother attends.

This church is an important cultural property!!




The average age of the church members is over 80!

The pastor is sill young and active; he once attended the UNESCO or World Associations conference.

He also got an invitation to speak at a church in NY.




The pastor kindly has given us a tour of the church and up to its spire.

We have had a chance to pray for each other there. Grateful.

My husband has prayed for blessing on the church as well as a marriage for the pastor without being asked. :)


To Shimane

I have been to the home town of my husband's.

I really enjoyed the 8-hour train trip against my expectation!





Come to think of it, Japan is mountainous.

I got attracted by the beauty of fresh greens of the mountains.


Surprisingly enough, it went up to as high as 35℃

though it is located in the deep mountain area.


My mother-in-law is still in good shape!


My brother-in-law who doesn't believe God yet have given us a prayer request.

I am thankful for his heart to ask us for prayer and

we keep praying for his salvation.






Safe arrival at Tokyo

2017-07-19 | 日記

(At the gate of Air Canada in Newark Airport)

On boarding the plane, we have found out somehow our seats were not on isle.

Also, we got to know now the requesting seats would be charged.

However, we have had our seats switched on the isle side at the counter without a fee!

Thank God for that. It makes a big difference on a long-hour flight.


In Tokyo I have seen my mom who looked much better than last year!

I am thankful to God, feeling many of my prayer got answered:

ease of jet-lag, protection from intense heat, etc.







Double Rainbow

2017-07-01 | 日記
Today's weather forecast was unusual; there would be a tornado in the northern New York.

In the evening it suddenly got dark and started pouring.


At 7:55 pm when I was getting ready to attend online the first service of Tokyo Antioch Church,

it suddenly became bright outside. There was a rainbow!




I rushed out of the apartment and took some shots of the rainbow!





Once I returned home and looked outside from the window,

the rainbow became brighter and clearer! I went out again.






After all, the double rainbow had appeared and stayed for about 20 minutes!

I gave thanks to God for Revival!!
