We need the wisdom and courage to make the right decision, and I've been praying God, as it seems the real world can't help us much right now. I believe your prayers are specially blessed. Thank you so much. Love, Yoriko

Yoriko, I'm not sure what you and your son are up against, but I do know that no matter what, GOD never abandons us... we may feel alone, but He is right there with us. You will overcome this trial and come out victorious IF AND ONLY IF you put your trust in Him. Let Him be glorified through this. xoxo Will be praying for you my friend.

Dear Teri, thank you so much for your caring. Love,Yoriko

Think positively! Yr son is just going back to Japan right? Japan is safe, just that u will miss him terribly. But well, i guess there are times when mother or parents have to learn to bear with the separation. Its aint that bad isnt it? Japan and AUstralia still pretty near, plus we have all the 3G technology, Skye Phone, Video COnferencing, Just set all those up and u will be able to see yr son!

My good friend also went to Japan for 3-4yrs for her Japanese language. I am not sure how long yr son will be in Japan but dont worry, there's still other mode of communication ard! Stay Happy Ya! And Dont make yr son worry abt u! :) Cheerssssss!

Dear Gerry, sometimes decisions are out of our hands, like this time. Thank you for your prayers, they made me accept the things the way they come, giving us serenity and hopes for the future. Love, Yoriko

Yoriko, I will always pray for anyone in the least trouble, trying to make the best decision, in sickness and in health, and I know God will help you. You have so many people talking to God, and so many just thinking of you and your son, that you must keep strong, and the sun will shine again. I am not too good with words, and sometimes I wonder whether I say the right things, but always know we are there for you. Just keep believing, and He will listen.

Dear Marietta, I feel so blessed for having so many caring people talking to God for me. We feel strong, and we are sure the future the sun will shine again. Love, Yoriko.

Dear Yoriko, my prayer for you will be that you know certainly in your heart the answer to your request. I hope you know that God will use whatever we do (those who love Him),to the good. It is a promise he made us in his Word and he can not go against his promise. He is holding you up dear sister. Don't be afraid to step out in faith.....He will always be there for you.

Thank you so much,Jerrilyn, for your prayers! Thank you for being there for me. Love&blessings, Yoriko

I believe he already gave you the answers.

I don't think it was an accident that led me to go with Nonna to the IWD event where I met the people i spoke to about your problems.
I didn't even know about the event until 2 days before and I was so worn out I wasn't going to go to it, but something compelled me to go.

As so I met the people i wrote to you about.

and I'll say no more.

Dear Meg, I've sent you an email two days ago. Thank you so much for your caring, my friend. Love,Yoriko

My dear Yoriko, you will have my prayers for you and your son - for as long as is necessary and beyond. I know that you will make the right decisions and will continue to gain wisdom from God - He will guide you and direct you - with each heartfelt prayer that you make and that is made for you. Continue to gain strength and do what is right for you to become the woman that you have always been - deep inside.

Shirlene, my friend, thank you so much for your support always. Love,Yoriko

Yoriko, the hardest thing to do in life is wait for God's answer to our needs or request. I have such a hard time not wanting to make the decisions for him, knowing that he knows best. Please, don't fret and wait. I know it is hard, and if the tears come, he understands. He created us, in his image, so you know there had to be tears in his life, too. You will know when it is right. My uncle always tells me to "BE STILL and Listen". For me, its a hard thing to do, but I'm learning. Please take my prayers with you, and know that He is God and is listening to you. Love, Hugs and Prayers

Martine, thank you so much...

Come ON YO...think of this as a great opportunity...someplace to go VISIT....no hotel bills, the comfort of home(his) and you could even cook there (if you wanted/or not) Better than a hotel...use the proceeds of the sales on your site to stash away till you have enough fare for a flight!!! Chin UP girl..You can do this!!! Now put a smile on YOUR face and wish him well, so he is not worrying about you during his travels :-)

Sara, thank you! Just read your message about 'kept woman', it seems you knew I needed to read something like that.

Yoriko, you are ALWAYS in my thoughts & prayers, but I will stop right now and make a special prayer for you, praying for wisdom and courage to make the right decision, for yourself and for Yukio. I love you very much, Yoriko, and I understand. Marji
