I recently began learning a few words in Japanese. I am nowhere near a phrase yet, but for the future study of my BA, I need to select a second language. There are three SL classes of English, Spanish or Japanese, so I selected the one that is most intriguing and full of life to me. To date, I have only learned about seven of the ten words that I have been taught. I am having a problem remembering corn, cabbage or carrot, also the word for tongue. I try to go to goggle for information, but it is limited.
What I am getting at is a need for intense leadership in this area. I have determination and passion with purpose as the father knows, but without leadership, I remain a babe.
As much as I learned how to write Japanese when I studied Asian culture, martial arts and origami, along with art history and hieroglyphics, in the times when my schools had funding for such things, I have forgotten the style of it. I stand now in a place where our father wants to enliven this learning in my soul.
This brings me to the topic at hand. I once sat as a child under the tutelage of my mother and (father), I took in everything she taught me and to date have found little wrong with her spirit of love other than an occasional moment of worry. There was a time when God gave me a choice to come to him for myself, which I took with little fight. Over time, I learned the spirit of God as he manifested himself to me. As for the identification of his light in my life, I read of the many pioneers gone before us, trail blazing the ways of fruitful life, I was stoked…
Then there came a time when during this relationship that God began doing a new thing in me. He began to take over my tongue when I was thinking intensely about him and his heart. It began as a stammering of lips, a babbling of the tongue, then a full out explosion of vocal patterns, many tears and words that to date, I still do not understand, however, physically, I felt extremely light and heavy, mighty and at rest, Oh, it was a feeling that could not be matched by any physical thing I could do or invoke. Funny thing about it is that it never made me embarrassed or look silly. I thought within myself that if this were such an intelligent feeling that I could lose my inhibitions to it, I would continue to invest in it.
Today, I have found greater leadership in this journey and for the most part, there are areas of growth for them as well, but God has been awesome beyond my wildest expectations… All that and I have not lost my most prized part, humility…
