In Love.

In love, in love, in life, in love

In you, in love, in death, my love

in time, in love, in place, in love

In form, in love, in death, my love

My God, my love, my life, my love

Is yours, my love, my bride, my love

This cross, my love, is mine, my love

To bear, my love, to die, my love

This cup, my love, this bread, my love

My life, my love, is yours, my love

Come drink, my love, my blood, my love

My life, my love, in death, my love

My God, my love, my life, my love

Is yours, my love, my bride, my love

This cross, my love, is mine, my love

To bear, my love, its time, my love

To Know You.

I want to jump into
the deep inside you
drown in what that means
let my lungs fill with
the expectancy
and the fear
and just jump in
without the hope
of ever breaking surface
again

I want to reach the darkest depths
discover the strange creatures
you hide
in waters both wild and placid
I'll swim, keep swimming,
still swim

Until you don't feel me
and I don't feel you
so much are we
one and the same

I'll be as a shipwrecked sailor
buried under the sands
of your ocean

Web Image Wednesday.

Today's images are dedicated to Sara Lane,
who scolded me for missing Web Image Wednesday last week.
Look! No Milk!
So True...

Spring Haiku.

April is National Poetry Month.  Did you know?

Sweet Spring afternoons -
a blanket in the sun 
four sisters dreaming

Earth is renewing -
breezesongs on parted lips
tickling budding trees

Dandelion full -
a wish on fragile wings
dancing with the wind

Also - I evidently forgot Web Image Wednesday this week. I owe you two next week, Sara...

It's April!

Time to get to work!

It's still a pretty busy time for me this semester.  I have a few really major events coming up at NSU, and more than one major project that needs finishing before the end of the year.  But, God is with me and I have peace.  It will get finished and, by God's grace, I will also be getting in order for recruiting my support team this month.

I was just telling a friend the other day that I was amazed by God's total provision.  Even in the midst of my busy schedule, He is blessing me and reminding me daily that He's still got His plans for Japan and He's working behind the scenes for me as I try to finish out my last semester of college.  The week before spring break, I was blessed with my first financial gift of $10 by a Chi Alpha friend who was raising money for a trip to Brazil and also a trip to Costa Rica this summer.  It was such a surprise and it really reminded me that God is in control, even when I feel I don't have the time to devote to the things that are on my heart.

In addition, the Costa Rica team and I had the opportunity to speak at our Chi Alpha chapter two weeks ago for missions night and I was able to show my support video (link coming soon!) and each trip received $80+ respectively for their support funds.  Amazing!

A couple of support events are in the making and I will be posting information soon.  As always, thank you for your continued support and your prayers!

Look my support page up on Facebook -"Amanda in Japan"-  for information regarding support, fundraising events, and ministry in Japan!
