Seriously, I'm so thankful right now that I have Christ Jesus. I don't know where I'd be without Him.
I am fuming with anger right now. This might be a dangerous update. Hope it doesn't bite me in the butt.
There are SO many things going on, I wanna share, but I can't right now. I am exhausted, and it's only going to get worse, and yet I have to tell about what I saw.
Walking home with Adam after meeting a Japanese friend, it was all in God's timing, because we heard a girl's scream, and we followed the sound behind an alleyway, to find a girl being abused by her boyfriend. What a pathetic excuse of a human being he is. She was crying and calling out "it hurts it hurts" in Japanese because the guy was grabbing her wrist so tight I could tell it was painful. Her mascara was running everywhere and he was talking in a low, steady, threatening voice, saying things I couldn't understand.I was so shocked, Adam went up and asked politely if everything was ok? She said yes, yes...I don't remember much, it was a blur, I was exhausted coming home, furious at what I saw, disgusted and trying to just keep myself under control. At one point, I asked her are you alright in English several times, and made eye contact with her several times trying to transmit to her that I was safe, she could be safe with me. And I told the guy please, stop it now several times in a controlled angry voice. Of course he ignored us the whole time, never looked at us, while the girl had to tell us, it's ok it's ok, when plainly nothing was remotely ok. He ended up saying to her "are you alright" in a nicer tone of voice cause he knew he was going to be in trouble. Good thing, Adam was there, and that he speaks Japanese. We followed them for awhile. We didn't go far because they stopped behind a taxi to talk for awhile.
When they forreal walked off, I turned around and took 3 steps when 2 guys were about to walk past me. The first guy wore a T shirt that said "Jesus Died for You". I'm so angry right now because of what happened that I don't care, I just stop him and ask him if he knows what is written on his shirt. He doesn't understand right away so I read his shirt and he says no thank you and walks off. That made me more angry. How can he wear a t shirt that is so profound, life changing, and not know what it means, or not want it.
I just threw my hands up to God. I am so angry right now. I am angry with all those people, who just don't get it. Who has the truth that will set them free, right in front of their face, yet ignores it. I am so frustrated right now. What is the point of it people? Why do you reject the One who created you so lovingly, who Died to free you from your destruction? This doesn't pertain only to the people in Shibuya, or in Tokyo, but it sure is void of hope here. Man, I am getting bombarded on all sides.
