The day started out so bad... but thanks to a great friend (Thanks Rumi!) and an adventurous spirit, I had a very "Surprising Turn". The day ended, not just great, but WONDERFUL! God can really turn things around in a snap of a finger.

While exploring Aoyama and Omotesando (which are just beside each other), me and my friend Rumi had many surprising turns as well. We found many hidden gems and great places just by walking around and turning every corner.

There are many things that I've realized that day:

- You may be in the right place but with a wrong state of mind and miss the amazing thing right in front of you.
 
- It won't end how it started, it depends on what you do with what you have when you started.

What you looking for? What are you expecting? It might just be around the corner. Never give up and be ready for A Surprising Turn.

 

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NLT)

For God says,

“At just the right time, I heard you.
    On the day of salvation, I helped you.”

Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.

As I walk under the falling snow, I can't help but smile...and cry at the same time. I truly thank God that I am in a place like this to experience something as magical as this. Something that I only see in music videos and pictures, now I am in the video and that picture. Even if I try to describe it in a thousand words, you won't be able to feel how I felt as I experience this "miracle". It's like faith, you won't know how it feels even if you hear it a thousand times. you have to experience it.

God knows how much I needed this at this very moment. When I feel like everything's not going right and dreams can't come true. God shows me that Miracles do Happen. And if He could make it snow...If He could make something so beautiful, that words can't even describe, with something so plain and colorless... Then He could make something beautiful out of me. He could make a Miracle out of Me.

In that wonderful day you will sing: “Thank the Lord ! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is! Sing to the L ord , for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. - Isaiah 12:4-5 NLT
