The other day, it was raining here in Osaka. Strangely, I enjoyed it. I felt this odd peace inside. Later that day, I just happened to come across Psalm 84. Part of the verse is "What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. They will continue to grow stronger..."
I hope this speaks to you somehow today. Psalm 84. Read it.

PS - Happy Birthday Krista (tomorrow anyways). I love that we have the same birthday. I will think of you in Japan, if you think of me in Edmonton!

- If you feel like listening...pull up a chair, wrap yourself in a blanket, put on your favorite song, pour yourself a cup of tea, and the miles between us will disappear.

Hello my dear Jane,
Once agian I am listening to your CD and I am thinking of you. Girl I would love to be with you just to experience what you have in the last few days. I told the Principal of my school today( whom has made my job permanent) that i am heading in the mission field. And she has given me her blessing.
It is such a comfort to know how much support I have. I always keep in mind if at any time I am going through tough times Romans 5:3,4 and I just have to stop and be amazed at how much I have been through already that I can't wait for more. God bless your willing heart.
Love Sheena
Sheena,
