This shot tells it all.

The blue sky was reflected beautifully but the real sky was exposed and what's captured was only a white sky.

Probably, we were like this camera. We can't see clearly the reality because we were blinded by the lights of this world. But when we reflect inside us, we can see the real beauty that God created for us.

Just like this shot.

この写真全てをあかしできました。

青い空きれいにうつりましたけど、本当の空は青い空にならなかったです、ま白いでした。

たぶんあたし達カメラといっしょう。　事実にはあたしたち本当の空の色この世の光のせいで見えないでしょう。　だけど、一度あたし達うちの中に何がうつているの見えたら、きっと、神様の美しい創作品が見えるでしょう。

この写真のように。

My Former Church - Aino Kyoukai (愛の教会）

愛の教会
my last shot

Aino Kyoukai. After about four years of staying in this church, we ended up to goodbyes and farewells. I leaved this church around February, 2008.
愛の教会。　だいたい四年間、この教会で通いました。　そして、今年の二月おわかれしまた。

Goodbyes actually doesn't mean an end, but a beginning for a new journey. This church is always a part of me, and always in my prayers.
お別れはきっぱり最後と言うのも限りない、それは新しい旅のはじまりです．この教会はあたしの人生の一部、あたしのお祈りの中には、いつもはいています。

For all the members of this church, I want to give thanks to Sachico san. I will never forget that simple words of encouragement she gave me during those time. That particular time, when my biggest proposal in life was been rejected, and I still figuring out how to control my mixed emotions. Honestly, no one from the church had I heard any words, only but from Sachico san. And I can say that she is already a trained matured Christian.
この教会の仲間の中、さちこさんに一番感謝してます。　あの時の優しい言葉 忘れません。　あの時、あたしの人生の中に、たぶｎ一番大きいな決断､その時こたわりました、そして自分の勝ってる気持ちどうやってコントロールするの は、あたまがいっぱいです。　正直言うと、あの時さちこさんは、クリスチャンとして、訓練された大人だなと思いました。

After I leaved the church, Sachico san is the only one who gives me updates and activities infos. And really so thankful. For whatever reasons behind, I am so thankful that the church is working out for new ventures, and is working for God. And really praying that all the members of this church and the new attendees, will received Jesus Christ, and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, all for the glory of God.
教会から離れたあとに、さちこさんだけ突けて教会の事教えてくれてるのです。それは、 そごく感謝してます。うらにはどんな理由があるのかどうか、愛の教会の新しい出来事、神様のためにだったらば、そごく感謝してます。　この教会のメンバー たちと新しいメンバーほんとうに、イエス様受け入れる、そして聖霊にめされて、神様の栄光のために。

I was able to upload two pictures Sachico san sent me through phone.さちこさんからメールからむらった写真です。

This is Yui chan. She is already attending the service and playing the piano.　ゆいちゃん、礼拝中でピアノを簸てます。
Yui chan was always there at the church only during special events, and later every Sunday. But not during the worship service, but after worship service and joins us our lunch time.

And now, she is already playing piano during service time. Praying for this girl that she may finally accept Jesus Christ, together with her mother.

This is a shot from my flickr archieve, and we can see here Sachico san, the girl in black is my daughter Yurina, and the third from her is Yui chan, which is sitting beside the girl in red.


Another shot sent by Sachico san. It's really great to know that they are improving.

Happy Mother's Day

testing

Flickr recently added video upload previledges to their pro account users. But too many photographers don't like this and they are making petitions against it.

Honestly, I was been so happy to have this video feature upload. But I agree that it is unfair for photography. Videos and photography are of different categories for me. And I agree that there will be going to have competition with these two categories, because both will be competing to Explore/Interestingness ranking.

最近Flickrでvideoもuploadできるようになりました。だけどたくさんの人が、はんたいしてるのです。正直言うとあたしはうれしいです。
でもほんとうのphotographyのために、ずるいです。写真とvideoがちがうです。でも今Flickrでライバルになってます。Explore/Interestingness ランク　いしょうになってるのです。

Sakura
(haiku style:0403/2008)
Freezy winter came
Sakura leaves turning gold
Fallen and it's gone

Now spring time come
This Sakura is not dead
Blooms so beautiful

Not bad, once empty
Experience aridity
And refilled with joy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
took an off from work ~~ got heavy migraine, but there's no use being defeated by this pain, I took my kids to Mcdonalds, bought some burgers and ate it here, while i took some shots ~~ even my head is cracking

こうるような冬
さくらの葉っぱ銀いろ
落ちてきました

またはるがきた
さくらが死んでいない
またきれいに咲いた

たまにからっぽになってもわるくない
何もないを経験して
それから喜びを入れ替えられる

～～～～
今日偏頭痛がひどくて、仕事休んだ、だけどこんな天気がいいのにもったいない。あたまいたくても、子供たち、MｃDonaldにつれて、そして、家のそばの公園で昼ごはんを食べました。さくらのはなはすごくきれいです。

Blooming Heart ~~ 咲いている心

Blooming Heart
3/29/2008

When the world looks beautiful,
It's because you are thankful,
And when the world looks that bad,
It's because your heart is sad.

Whatever you do with an empty heart,
Life is meaningless and always depressed,
But for a heart who’s blooming,
Every day’s like spring.

To a heart of a Christian,
Jesus is there, now and then,
He has the faith, hope and love,
Ａ special gift from Heaven above.

Let Jesus rules, inside our hearts,
Let the Holy Spirit's gifts,
Flows like river unto our souls,
And let us bloom like those flowers.

きみはあいされろためうまれた


咲いている心　～～　の日本語です。（日本語へた～～ぴ～～です～がまんしてね！）

世界はきれいに見る時
あなたの心、かんしゃがあるから
もし世界は悪く見る時
あなたの心、かなしいだから

どんな事をやっても、空っぽの心により
人生はいみがない、うつびょうもなりやすい、
だけど、咲いてる心にとって
毎日はるです。

クリスチャンの心で
イエスさまがすんでいます。
信仰、希望と愛がもっているのです。
天からのとこべつなプレセント

あたしたちの心の中に、イエスさまをまかせて
それで聖霊のみたまもの、
あたしたちのたましいに川のようにながれて
それであたしたちはなみたいにかがやいている。

Hanged on the Cross

あたしにとってｲｽタはイスタの日だけではない。毎日です。だってイエス様は～～も～～よみがえられたのです。イエス様は生きてる。信じてる人たちの心の中に住んでおられている。

HANGED ON THE CROSS

Once the cross was a horrible sign,
It's a sign of horror and in vain,
A sinful soul that was cursed
Was hanged on the tree to death

Everyone that was cursed,
On the cross was hanged,
So when everyone look on a cross,
Cursed and deaths came on memories.

Destined to be hanged
But there came the Holy One
Too Holy to be cursed.

But this Holy One
Too holy to be cursed
Took our place
Hanged on the cross.

Now the cross is a message of salvation
On the cross the Father's love shown
Love us so much to let His Son hang on the cross,
A holy sacrifice for us to be freed from the curse.

Now, when everyone looks on the cross
It's not sin, death and curse inside the memories
But it is where Jesus Christ nailed to death

And shed His blood to wash our sins away.
Once, the cross, a fearful sign of curse,
Now in Christ Jesus no more.

home made breads (reflecting the last supper) 手作りパン（ 最後の晩餐 を思い出しながら)

Baking breads made me reflect about the thoughts of the Last supper.
PASSOVER LAST SUPPER (Thursday) Mt 26:17-30; Mk 14:12-26; Lk 22:7-23; Jn 13:1-30
In an upper room Jesus prepared both himself and his disciples for his death. He gave the Passover meal a new meaning. The loaf of bread and cup of wine represented his body soon to be sacrificed and his blood soon to be shed. And so he instituted the "Lord's Supper." After singing a hymn they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony, knowing what lay ahead for him.

my daugther made all the mixing and and shapes of this bread, and i just assisted her with the ingredients and heating the oven।

今日はパンを作りました。そして最後の晩餐を思い出しました。今日はクリスチャンたちが最後の晩餐の記念です。

愛は大事... and I understand the importance of love

Challenges. That is the key word that evolved in my life since the start of this year 2008.

I learned to be a mature one, overcoming the pain of loosing a challenge. The pain I have is nothing as I focused to Jesus Christ. Pains are just here but soon will be gone. The healing peace of God is real. Very real.

I learned how precious and important the Love of God. As how Jesus comprised all the commandments to the commandment of love.

I see clearly how a word with love and a word without love differs. A very short word but full of love, can save a heart. A very good advice, with full of rightful Bible teachings but without love, cannot save a soul, but instead it can make a heart draw away from God, especially if a person is not yet a mature Christian.

A help given with love and a help given without love is different, from those who receives the help. A help given with love, makes those who need the help a total feeling of rescue, and thanksgiving, while a help given without love, even they received the help, they can't have the feeling of comfort, and will not totally enjoy the help they received.

And it is the same in sharing the gospel. No matter how you preach the gospel, but when there is no love, people's heart can't hardly be touch। God is love. God is Spirit. Without the move of the Holy Spirit, God's love is not there .

But anything with the move of the Spirit, there must be the presence of God's love.

I will end up here for a while. I know I have to check out my grammar. Bear with me please. My Japanese translation is not good as well, i need some help in here..

チャレンジ。　あたしの２００８の人生のはじまりのキーワード。チャンス。　

チャンスをつかまえるとしたら、きっぱりこたわれました。ふられた。

つらかった。でもそごくかんしゃしてます。　ものそごい大雪な事をまなべました。　あたしはいっぽ大人になりました、その負けた時の痛みはのりこえることを出来ました。　このいたみはどうでもいい、イエス様をみつめるだけだったらば、どうでもいい。　痛みはここにあるけど、でもすぐにきえるでしょう。　

神様のいやされるへいわ、ほもの。かんじられる。神のあいどのぐらい大雪、たへんまなびました。イエスの教えように、すべての神の教え、愛にふくまれた。よくわかりました。つくない言葉だけ、でも愛をかんじられる、人のこころをつくわれる。でもある言葉、ただしいなおしえでも、愛をかんじられないと、それは人の心作ることできない。せめられた気持ちだけになる。残念なのは、その人の信仰はまだまだ若い、神からはなれる経験があります。

愛をかんじられる助けと愛を感じられないたすけ、助けられてる人たちにたいして、　大きいなちがいがあります。　愛をかんじられるたすけ、ほんとにかんしゃなきもちがわいてくる、安心なきもちがあります。しあわせがあり。　愛を感じられないたすけ、助けをむらても、不安のままです。きつかうきもち。たすけられても、しあわせがない。

ゴスペルをおしる時にもおなじ。いくら神様の教えでんどうしても、愛がかんじられないと、人の心あまりおごかない。　神は愛。神は霊。　　聖霊のはたらきないと神の愛も、ながれてない。どんな事をやっても、聖霊の働きあれば、神様の愛、かならずかんじられます。

とりあいず、このところです。あたしのぶんしゅうのぶんぽやり直すところあると思います、でもパソコンからはなれないとならない。あたしの日本語のつやくも、へたでございます。まじ＾たすけはひつようです。

FOR YOU

You know who you are

God sees your heart,
God sees your cries,
God knows how heavy your load,
God knows how weary your soul.

God hears all your prayers,
All the shouts of your hearts
In spite of all you still hold on.

God knows what will happen
And He wants you to keep the patience
And He wants you to keep the hope
And He wants you to keep believing
And He wants you to keep your heart in Him.

Just stay with Him until the end.



Remember what is it in the Bible:

Deuteronomy 31:6(KJV 1611)
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;

Hebrew 13:5(KJV 1611)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

UPON THE NAME OF YESHUA LET US NOT CEASE PRAYING

GOD GIVES US THE INGREDIENTS FOR OUR DAILY BREAD, BUT HE EXPECTS US TO DO THE BAKING.
Day by Day
A mother once stopped by her recently married daughter's homeunexpectedly and was promptly greeted with a flood of tears. Alarmed, the mother asked, "what happened, dear?"

Her daughter replied, "It's not what happened, but what keeps happening!"

Even more concerned, the mother asked, "What is it that keeps happening!"

The daughter replied, "Every day there are dishes to be washed. Every day there are meals to be prepared and a lunch to be packed. Every day there is laundry to be done and beds to be made and a house to be cleaned."

"And?" the mother asked, still unsure as to the nature of the problem.

"Don't you see?" the daughter said through her tears. "life is just so daily."

On those days when the "daily-ness" of life seems to have you bogged down in boredom or drudgery, remind yourself the Lord said He would provide for the needs of His people on a daily basis. Manna was gathered in the wilderness every morning. Jesus taught His disciples to pray for their "daily bread." God wants to provide what we need, not only physically and materially, but also emotionally and spiritually, on day at a time.

Trust the Lord to give to you
* material goods, money, food, and supplies that you will need today.
* idea and creative energy that you need for today's work.
* stamina, health, and strength that you need today to fulfill your many roles and responsibilities.
* spiritual nourishment and fortitude to face and conquer the temptations and trials of today.

The Lord is with you all day, every day, day by day!

Give us this day our daily bread ~ matthew 6:11 KJV
