Arriving in Japan

Genesis 12:1  The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you".

As I sat on the airplane I realized that leaving for Japan was the hardest thing I've ever done.  Leaving family, friends, comfort etc is and for a long time will be the hardest thing I've ever done.  But between the thoughts of excitement and questioning myself "what have you gotten yourself into?" I realized that God's hand is in this process and the creator of the universe, the same God that sent Abram to a new land, is now sending me to a new land as well.  I don't expect to be the patriarch of a bloodline not physical but spiritual like Abram's but I do hope to be a blessing to the Japanese people, classmates and new friends during my time here.
