Hi everybody!
I just wanted to write up a couple of things that has been on my mind recently.
I came back from my college freshman orientation a couple of days ago, and I feel very good about everything that happened there. Even though I was nervous at first, I was able to socialize and have a really great bonding time at the orientation.
Everybody was extremely friendly and everybody had completely different backgrounds. God made people so beautiful and interesting. I am so excited to meet more lovely people during my college years.
Of course I'm scared to move onto my next chapter, but I'm also very hopeful for this chapter in my life. This is a crucial time to really trust God and think about how I want to live my everyday being apart from my family.
Another thing that has been on my mind is the mission trip. I will be going pretty soon and I am more excited than nervous about it. I am so happy to be able to serve God with such wonderful team members. I only hope that I will be useful under God's eyes during the trip!
That's all for now! Have a lovely rest of the day.
With much love,
Hitomi

Finished with a portion of summer!
Hello! I am finished with a month that was filled with lots of family love, Japanese food, and Disney merchandise. It was extremely fun and although I'm sad that it has ended, my summer has just begun.
Everything that I will be doing from now on requires me to step out of my comfort zone and requires me to be strong.
List of things over the summer:
1) College orientation for three days
2) Wisdom teeth removal
3) Japan mission trip
4) Summer school for college
All these things make me nervous but this is the time where I gotta trust in God with all my heart. I can do all things with God. I really have to keep that in mind as I enter this summer that can be filled with lots of goodness if I just TRUST in God!!
By the way, I watched "We Bought a Zoo" and it was SO BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend it. This is my favorite quote from the movie because I need courage. I'm going to meet so many new people, and I have to have the courage to go talk to people. I have to believe in myself.
That's all for now! Have a lovely rest of the day.

I made it!
I finally made it. I went through 4 years of high school and everything feels so surreal.
I cried a hundred times, laughed a million, and smiled at least a gazillion. Although I wanted to graduate as soon as possible, I do feel sad about leaving high school.
My friends are what I'm going to miss the most. They've been so kind, so loving, and so giving. I'm going to miss them so so so much.
I also appreciate everyone from church who has been so supportive of me. I would not be the person that I am today if it weren't for all of you.
I still have a lot of worries about many things, but I trust that God will help me through this journey.
Thank you for all your love and support. :'D

So Close, Too Close
Hey guys! I just wanted to make a really quick post!
This month has been hectic for me and senior year is ending REALLY soon. I have three more days to go and each day is completely filled with homework, finals, concert, and letters to write to my friends/teachers. Even amongst the craziness, God has blessed me loads and I am thankful for him!
I just hope that I can take each day and work really hard but also take the time to soak it all in. Soak in the time I have with my friends and soak in the walls that surrounded me for 4 years.
As my friends and I say, school is so close to ending, but school is too close to ending.
Life moves so fast and I'm scared that I can't keep up with everything, but I trust that God will fill my days with love, passion, hard work, and faith.

Being Connected with Nature & AGAPE!
Hey guys!
I wanted to quickly talk about two things!
I went hiking with my Positive Psychology class a couple of days ago and it was amazing! The purpose of this trip was to reconnect with nature and find peace through our surroundings.
I was able to connect not only with nature, but also with God! It was so so lovely and I forgot how beautiful life really is. :]

Another thing is that as some of you may know, I run a Disney blog on tumblr and I tumbled (haha) upon a post which you can check out here: http://graphitedoll.tumblr.com/post/84762328573/true-love-comes-in-many-forms-since-ive
There was a picture on there that I said "OH MY GOODNESS" to so here it is!!! :
I thought it was so great because I'm going on the mission team and our team name is AGAPE! :]
That's all for now! Have a lovely rest of the day.

Unusual
Hey guys!
My favorite Christian song right now is "Unusual" by Francesca Battistelli. It's such an upbeat and powerful song. I really would like for you all to try listening to it!
Favorite lyric in the song:
You're so unusual, I think you're beautiful.
You're so unusual, standing up in Jesus' name.
Just let them call you "strange"
This is so so important guys. It's okay to be different because different is beautiful too! Standing up for our beliefs and standing up for our passions are so important. When I stand up for what I believe in, I feel scared a lot of the times. Even though I feel this way, I know that it's the right way.
It's okay if people think you are strange for standing up for something that you believe in, because I won't think it's strange and God won't think it's strange.
It's definitely not easy, but we can do all things with God. [:

The Day Before Easter Sunday!
Hey guys!
I am currently watching the "The Bible" on the History Channel right now with my family. I am in tears right now. Jesus died for our sins. wow. It's really sinking in right now. I cannot believe all the pain that he went through just for us. He died and he came back to life. wow. I just don't even know what to say. I am so grateful for him and Easter always reminds me that Jesus loves me.
He loves me so much and it feels incredible. He just wants me to be me and he loves me for EVERYTHING that I am. He just wants me to grow as a believer of Christ. Just bloom for him.
