Wow can't believe it's August. sayonara to the interns/walking with Christ/P.R./Mt. Fuji result

Wowowow I can't believe it's August!!! August 7th will be my 4th month here, and 1/4 of my term (bc of the 2 months of training)!!! wow....

Yea, so summer is coming to an end, and tonight we had the sayonara party for the Go Tokyo interns (6 week program). It made me so sad to see people I'm starting to get to know better get ready to leave. It also made me sad because they will be able to get back to Express, American Eagle, Mexican Food, Prime rib...hahaha...however but a friend reminded me it is good because then they can move on to their next stage in life :). Yes it is good, and God will continue to grow them and draw them closer to Himself.

Talking about getting closer to God, honestly, I think I am on the verge of something...on the verge of getting completely blown away by God, or on the verge of a downward spiral...I know some of the core reasons why - I have been slacking on spending time in His Word and taking time to pray about things I need to be praying about, and I'm starting to depend on my own strength, which will leave me broken in the end...these will sound like excuses, and actually they probably are I'm just not completely accepting it right now though hehe, but i have no time!!! i have 23 unread messages in my facebook inbox, and i'm not even going to mention the notifications bar on the bottom right corner of facebook...my regular gmail has untouched emails also, oops i just realized my business email account has been overlooked too...yikes...i have no time!!! and when i do get home a bit earlier (which is like 10pm for me these days) my free time is spent on quickly browsing through my emails, doing mindless things like listening to music or talking with my roommates, or opening up my Bible...but not really searching through it and putting His messages into my heart. No excuse no excuse - my walk with Christ is the most important thing ne? why the heck am i here in the first place anyhoo right? i am so needy, i am, and i know only God can fill my needs, except I need constant reminding of this...

there are a lot of people/contacts I need to be following up on...please be praying about this for me and the rest of my team that will be remaining here...

also i didn't get to climb to the top of mt. fuji. i know i suck. ahhh. i do regret it although it was so hard. i wonder if ill be doing it again next summer to try to make it to the top again hehehe...

i think my parents will be visiting me in 2 1/2 months or something. yay!!

tell me if you are willing to buy me american supplies and then mail them to me...

and tell me if my English is getting bad. please correct me. i need to know!! haha
