Poor Joel.

For those of you that don't know, Joel is my camera.

yah yah, I know it's cheesy that I name my camera. laugh all you want..BUT...he has so much character and plus, its more fun calling him Joel than "camera" haha. Anyway, Joel and I haven't had much time together this week. Partially for the fact that I get nervous taking him places. I'm quite clumsy. But good news people, my goal this week - besides finishing my comm paper + comm test - is to carry Joel around as much as possible and practice shooting! Maybe a little "day in the life" photoishh post. We'll see what happens. I just have to get over the initial hesitation I have to want to walk around campus with him. 

Well, heres goes nothin..! 

and here's my one pic with the girls + joel. hahah gosh I really do sound lame calling him Joel. oh well.

SPRING FORWARD

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS..??...

SUMMER IS NEAR.HANGING WITH OLD FRIENDS IS NEAR. CAMP LIFE IS NEAR.

THE SUN WILL BE OUTTTTT LONGER! PRAISE JESUS!

MISSION VISIT BANKSONS IN BELGIUM: 33 DAYS

My prayers are uplifted for my native Japan. 

It's such a strange feeling being here right now, while chaos is happening across the world.

Today in chapel, I was reminded of the power of prayer. 

And how, the greatest thing we can do from our livingrooms across the globe in Southern California,

 is to PRAY. 

But my heart is aching, for I feel just the smallest fraction of the fear those people must be feeling right now. Japan, and the rest of the world in fear, I am praying that through this God is whom we look to first, and that above all He is glorified through this disaster.  

I love you Japan.
