Now introducing.... Shannon and Michelle the Rockstars! Just kidding, we were just helping our friend Tim record some background vocals for the Franklin Graham crusade that is coming up in November. These are actually from a couple of weeks ago but I thought they would be fun to put up.

Sunset on our roof at six in the morning WOO WOO! Its pretty amazing you can see the beach from our roof and its amazing when the sun rises.

This is a drawing of my roomates and its funny cuz that is actually kinda what we all look like. Real Roomates: Nikki, Misty, Shannon, Me, Haley, and Djuji :)

We played at this outside mall as an outreach and this is Me and Keegan and Doug playing it was fun.

That is it for now! God bless. Love, Michelle

2Th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

Typhoon ShanShan! It was amazing!
Yesterday morning we went to eat breakfast at the Macaroni Grill on the Marine base with Sandra and her three adorable children. Sandra and her husband Damian (who is in the Marines) are planning on moving to Italy in a few months to start a church. They have been a huge blessing and example to us and have spoiled us in so many ways!

"For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them." (Psalm 44:3)

May the Lord fill you with His Holy Spirt and strengthen you to do all the desire that is in His heart.

Matthew 9:37-38
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers in His harvest.”

This verse has been coming to my mind so many times since I have been here. Oh the need for Christ in our world! Most of the people here haven’t even heard of Jesus Christ. They are held in bondage by spirits, their forefathers and so many other evil things. Another verse that has been coming to my mind is:
Romans 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” We, as Christians have such a great treasure in ourselves. I learned in class the other day that Paul counted himself as a debtor to the gospel and to the people to bring them the gospel. I pray that more of our generation rises up and counts their lives as nothing to share Christ with those who have never heard before. Okinawa is only a small part of the world that hasn't heard of Jesus, there is so much need for "beautiful feet."

Tonight we just got through with Revelation class. It was a long day 4 classes, pretty crazy put Pastor Tommy and his wife Joanna are really good teachers. At class tonight we talked about the churches and to the church of Sardis he says, "Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you." Revelation 3:3. One thing the Lord reminded me of was the passage in Matthew 25 about the ten virgins and how 5 of them were ready and the other 5 were not, Pastor Tommy raised a good point that the verse in Rev. was written to Christians and that maybe it could be possible that a Christian be left behind if he is not watching and waiting. I thought it was interesting and at the same time a wake up call, just like it must have been to the church of Sardis, "Wake up and watch!" God says. Another thing Pastor Tommy talked about was Jewish weddings and how a bride was to know when her groom would come for her. There were certain signs she would get, mostly he was building a house and as she saw it being completed she knew the time was closer for him to come and get her. The same goes for us, we are watching in these last days all the signs of the return of our glorious Bridegroom being fulfilled and we should all the more like the Jewish bride preparing ourselves for our marriage. Jesus is coming for a pure bride, therefore walk holy for He is Holy!!
These were things that encouraged me tonight and I hope they encourage you. He who has this hope in him purifies himself just as HE is pure. Be watchful my friends the day is near. Do not put your hope and expectation in this life, don't waste your time trying to fill yourself with the things of this world invest in the everlasting, eternal kingdom that will soon be revealed and in the Savior who alone can satisfy.
With much love in our beautiful Bridegroom who is coming soon,
Michelle
PS the pic is of yesterday at the waterfall i am kinda an airhead and didnt take a pic of the actual waterfall but this is a bridge leading to the waterfall...

Woo first blog! Pretty much Okinawa is the coolest place in the whole world. Me and Shannon got here a week and a half ago and the whole time has been filled with the Lord's blessings one right after the other. Today we had a day off, we went to this water fall up north about an hour away. It was the prettiest place I have ever seen. It's a rain water waterfall, I guess, the water was freezing but it felt nice cuz its really hot here. Well I better go to bed cuz I have to get up early to finish homework...

"from Jesus Christ , the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the king of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood , and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion both now and forever and ever. Amen." Revelation 1

Guten Nacht! Der Herr Segne Euch.
