i'm moving to tokyo in two days. i thought i should write about it.

sonny and i will be living in temporary housing for a month while we wait to see what god does to provide a job for sonny and a permanent place for us to live.

i start training for my new job on thursday. i bought a new suit for the occasion. my shirts are ironed and i have a notebook. i have no idea what to expect.

i've been super discouraged that sonny still doesn't have a job. my heart has been heavy. i'm reading through joshua like i do at this time of year. this time around i've been struck by how the israelites had a war cry within their hearts. one that was to be kept inside until it was time to let it out. we all have a war cry. sometimes it gets silenced by disappointment and things not going like we think they should.

my prayer is that my cry will be kept alive and loud within me until it is time for it to be released. i can only imagine how it must have felt to walk in silence around a thick wall trusting that it would indeed fall.

i'm now going to enjoy the storm roaring outside while i wait for my beloved to get home.
