I was absent from KCS rehearsals for a while. My plan was I might come back after the Presidential Election and our big event. The thing is I got way more things to do and got busier from the day….. I started to be hungry for singing. I need an energy of water (meaning swimming) and music. I might have come from the planet of music, I sometimes feel. Then, this morning, I saw one post by our bass Soloist to the KCS bulletin board. He shared the texts of the solo, which touched him more this year, he said. “ For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen, upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light, and they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” Yes, we need HOPE and FAITH even more at this time. The battle between LIGHT and Evil has been getting intense. Now is the time when we really need to stay in faith in GOD. When we have a faith in God and know that we are children of God, we will remember that each of us has the power to change the future of the world. Singing brings the vibration of the Heaven directly when we sing in tune with the messages from the above. “Messiah” was composed by one of the Great Spirits, George Frideric Handel. The music has an amazing power. The performance below is my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH3T6YwwU9s The video of LJ has been good topics among friends and people around me in Japan and the US.
Below is the latest one. https://youtu.be/9uciJzDZvvU There are lots of important messages here, but right after watching the video, my mind got stuck with “Bigger Sharks?!” Sharks will also grow bigger??!! I really need to be careful in the ocean…… When I watched her video for the first time, which was the Japanese translation version, I was moved to tears. People around me and I are very careful to ‘Spiritual” things, and do not just jump into any physic matters. However, her messages have been somehow touching deep parts in our hearts. More eye-opening things seem to be happening next year too. We need to “stay in our faith”. We also need to be smart and open our eyes clearly to distinguish where is righteousness. I was working until late last night. I REALLY needed to jump into the water this morning.
I went to Hapuna beach, which was gorgeous in summer time. Now is winter. I saw people in the water when I was walking down from the hill. I approached the beach, and got stunned. What a high wave wall in front of us!! I might have heard some warning from the beach guards when approaching the beach. The wave was highest ever in this winter season. I heard later from my husband that it is called “Backlash”. Other people were looking the wave and standing at the shore. I squatted at the very shallow area, bathed a little bit there, and just walked along the beach. I gave up going into the water. I went back to the parking. There was a lady in the car parked next to me. We started to have a chat. She is an experienced surfer. She seemed to have just got out of the water. The wet boogie board was sitting there. She started to explain about the wave. The cold water started to come all the way from Alaska. Today, the water did not come into far to the beach, and it was going back from the shore. So, those two waves bumped into each other and made a tall and sharp wave near the shore! She said it is very dangerous to go into the water like this. Even she got scared today. The high wave keeps coming back every 5 or 10 minutes. So, if you wait for a while and think the water is now calm, and go into the water, then the high waves keep coming back quickly. Even if you can go into the water, you will not be able to come back. The people, who got injured, got swallowed up by the strong waves, sometimes hit their heads. It causes serious injury. When you get stuck, you struggle, and then, another one keeps coming. It swallows you and keep hitting you on the ground again and again. So many people got injured, some died, and some got paralyzed. Actually I heard one of my friend’s friend broke his neck at this beach. She said many Japanese got injured here. I saw one young father kept trying to bring his kid into the waves, which was very dangerous. I should have warned today… She said she often prays people’s safety here. The beach guards started to warn to people when they could be in danger from 2 years ago. Her story was scary enough for me to decide avoid this beach in winter time. Safety is the most important. There are other beaches nearby where the water is calmer. I felt my Guardian Spirits brought her for me today. I have been convinced I grew up with many good music in my life. I have also encountered many good music in my younger age, and got really encouraged.
Below is one of my most favorite ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb2OnNum8aI I kept listening to this in the car. The lyrics are so simple, but strong. They do not have any extra decorations or anything showy. Maybe that is why the messages come directly to my heart. I am surprised to have found an English version!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAbdxxiIhoo Never give up, never surrender easily, and keep having confidence in your faith. When you got almost given in, just remember these things. Thank you for the good music, Daijiman Brothers! |
