Comments for Cash Clan Japan http://cashclanjapan.com the momentary musings of your favorite missionary family in Japan Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:53:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on About The Cash Clan by cashclanjapan http://cashclanjapan.com/about-2/#comment-2587 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:53:25 +0000 http://cashclanjapan.wordpress.com/?page_id=288#comment-2587 Of course, I’ve deleted the post!! I was actually just in Tulsa last week because my grandmother is on her deathbed. I was able to say my goodbyes and relieve her caregivers for a few days at least, but I wish I could have stayed longer…Anyway, I hope you are doing well and loving your job and your life! Things have been more than a little rocky over here trying to kind of refind our place. It’s not been an easy transition, and we’re very much still in transition…But that’s okay.

I know it’s been so long since our story. I hope things have been better for your beautiful family. I have a favor to ask… Can you please DELETE my post from before. It has my personal cell in there and I really need to keep that number protected for my safety. Thank you so much! Make sure you keep that number though to yourself and feel free to call me anytime! It would be wonderful to catch up!
XOXO

2. I had to google Waiting for Godot – a fact that will forever shame me.

I’m okay, I promise! It really helps me to write honestly how I’m feeling. It’s cathartic. I’m still laughing, still loving, still singing, I promise. Don’t worry about me please! Just keep us in those prayers!

I know that’s a pat remark to make. But, it’s true. One day you’ll be old, overflowing with wisdom, and such a gift to a young missionary. All of these situations will give you the first-hand experience to relate and help them. During the really hard times it is such a gift to have someone that’s been there and really gets it! You’ll get to be God’s mouthpiece in those situations – a rhema word in due season.

Try to find something in the journey to enjoy. I’m praying that you’ll see little glimmers of hope and joy each day. You have 4 wonderful kids and a loving, devoted husband. They will bring you joy. You are raising an army for God! What a responsibility and reward!

Do you remember the reward you were promised? The nations! Remember once again what God has promised you. That will give you hope and joy!

“Put on the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness and let the oil of gladness flow down from your throne! Put on the garments of praise, for the spirit of heaviness; Your joy is my strength alone, my strength alone! Make these broken weary bones rise to dance again, Wet this dry and thirsty land with a river! Lord our eyes are fixed on you and we are waiting, For your garland of grace as we praise your name!” (Does that sound like a familiar song?)

Now is the time to pray. Pray for your family, your enemies, your former church, etc. Pray for yourself and all that he is doing in you. He is doing a lot! Perhaps this is a time for much reflection and inner healing so that you can be free, more than ever before. Rough seasons precede seasons of victory! I know it can’t be easy. But, please don’t prolong it and go around the mountain over and over. I think this is an important season for you and one that God doesn’t want to let go of. There are some things he wants and needs to accomplish in you.

You know we’ve had earthquakes in Tulsa, right? Do you know what Jimmy shared afterwards in church? Hebrews 12:26. “And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” It’s a season for shaking, shaking off things we need to leave behind.

Just because you may not have anything “nice” to say, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say anything at all, contrary to the saying. You just have to be selective of whom you confide in. If you choose, I’m always here to listen and lend a shoulder! I’m a Skype or phone call away. Don’t be silent, even if it isn’t pretty. Life is often not pretty. Living miserably in silence, especially for someone as outgoing and talkative as yourself, must be torture. Don’t torture yourself! That is just what satan would have – to make it even harder. Perhaps you should journal, even if you don’t publish it. It will help you process your thoughts and feelings. Even more importantly, it will give you an outlet. (Now, I’m preaching to myself. I need to do that.)

I love you! :) I wish I was in Japan to give you a BIG, LONG HUG! ((((HUG))))

These are just my thoughts and prayers for you now. May God use what is of him and let everything else fall to the ground.

Stumbled onto your blog doing a search for “ebina yochien”…God is good, as we are here at Atsugi (living in the lodge but soon to be off base), and I would love info on area off-base churches, etc. Curious where Foundations Church is?? Is that where you and your family attend? Also, interested in yochiens for my 3-year-old son…not sure there will be room at Ryosei Yochien…any others you can recommend? Please feel free to e-mail me at jencox72@yahoo.com if you have a free second…if not, totally understand!! :) Blessings to you!
