Vision, CD debut
Praise the Lord ! from the Rocky Mountains
“Praise the Lord ! from the Rocky Mountains” is a popular series in monthly publication “The Appearance of a Rainbow in the Clouds” (kumonoaidaniaruniji Publishing Co.Ltd). This content is reprinted just as the word containing thanksgiving testimony of pastor Kamidate.
On the work place for my husband, a parent company was broken. Then it starts a personnel cut. Everyone looks nerves because no one knows who will be cut. But we are talking to rely on God, because God manages all things even how the work boss thinks.
On the some day, my husband is on the late shift. He puts the proceeds of the day in a safe at 11 p.m. and come back home. On the next morning, his assistant manager calls to him. The content is “the proceeds of the day is gone.”. It is clearly that my husband is doubted. My husband tells the boss that “I suggest police intervene, just not only on his place of work.” Finally, my husband was cut. I thought that “how our life will be?”. But first, I give thanks this situation straight with my family, then praise God. We didn’t know how our life situation will be from tomorrow. But we think that “In this situation, is it good idea to eat delicious food first?” Then we went to restaurant of uniform cost.
My husband had a three day holiday at a slow speed, then start finding job. I asked him soon after I came back from my thing. He make special smile and answered “Yeh----es”. I praise God. Then I asked him “and, which company?” The answer is ex-company. How wonderful! His doubt disappeared, and general manager ask him “We need you from our heart. Please come back.” And that was “We pay the salary that you couldn’t work. Please come back.” The problem was allowed, but finally it becomes the way that he is given salaried summer vacation. Praise the Lord!
By the way, I wrote on the last moth issue, my husband is expected to make CD debut on July. The preparation is going forward step by step, then before one week for recording, the orchestra of recording is completed. Choir practice for my husband back started. A song “Jesus didn’t forget about me”, with trio, three parts chorus, choir sung the melody beautiful. We felt God’s presence, and some member sung with crying. But trouble was happened.
Leader arranged the song for choir. He starts to say that he wants to be co-making words and songs, nor arranger. He may think that my husband will answer OK easily, because my husband is easy to deal with. But my husband has experienced trouble about copyright in his young age. It is a point that my husband can’t concede. And more, the song is already registered with my husband. It becomes big dispute with the leader, suddenly it put an end before a week of recording.
It is unbelievable situation, but I thought soon “it is because God’s big plan!” And three of my husband, I and my daughter did throughgoing dance, clap and jump, praise God and give thanksgiving, rejoice. Worst situation is permitted. In the giving thanksgiving to God, we are filled out with tremendous joy.
After two days from sudden cancel, a gospel singer gives us a call. It means that my husband will be the singer’s producer. Then she also wants to enter “Jesus didn’t forget about me” in her CD.
Also we met players for the CD production. They introduced me a pastor of music director on the very big famous black people church. When we talked about work of Japanese gospel, the pastor is interested in it and his eye is shining. From God press, I ask him “Would you like to have gospel workshop for Japanese mission in Denver?” in insurance. Then he give us OK pleasantly. The pastor told us that whenever he can have workshop in Japan from the request.
CD debut is closed in vision, but God opened new door. We are very interested in that what will happen to us from now. Praise the Lord!
