Ħ Since 5 to 6 years ago




Since 5 to 6 years ago, I had my back pain and I felt difficulty going staircases up and down. Because of this, I avoided to use subway to go shopping. I asked my husband to drive me to go shopping so that I didn't have to walk.

I used to go to nearby internal medicine clinic, where I received pain killer and injection. The doctor told me that he could not take responsibility of my condition unless I go to a big hospital to have proper medical check-up.

However, I used to give thank to God and prayed for my back, believing that one day the Lord would heal me, because the scripture in I Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 16-18 says, ' Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.'

ĦSituation got worse with mental pressure @

However, my back pain got worse around November last year. That was when our church members were in a difficulty of finding new church building.

There is a scripture in Psalm 37:5, 'Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this' and 1 Peter 5:7, 'Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.' It is easy to advise these scriptures to other people, but when it comes to me, I was not able to stand the pressure, though I believed in the Lord. My back pain and the mental pressure made me suffer a lot.

There was a good news. We found a place to move to 11 days before the due date, which was 26 November. The place was given to us clearly in a way that the Lord led and worked. We thanked Him a lot.

ĦDisposal of luggage was tough @

We have done church moving on the 6th of December successfully. Our family also moved near the new church building on the 14th December. Soon after the church moving, we started to prepare our house moving. I requested my husband to employ someone to help, but the request was rejected. I had to dispose my parents' belongings which accumulated since 1948.

My father was called to heaven 10 years ago and my mother, who has got dementia and 91 years old now, has been admitted to a hospital for 9 years. We have disposed all their belongings because she doesn't need anything on the earth. Also, we have disposed all the reference documents of our sword shop and tableware of our Japanese style pub, which we had been operating for 11 years.

We had blister on our hands because we had to put them in plastic bags and tie them every day.

The city has a service to help us dispose oversized garbage if we pay. However, in order to spend less, my husband cut wood furniture into small pieces, put them in plastic bags and threw away as ordinary garbage every week even after moving to a new house.


ĦBack pain was healed completely @

After we had completely moved, I used to walk to the church building, which was located only 5 minutes away from my new house. But my left leg could not move after 5 to 6 steps. I had to rest for few minutes every after several steps. For about 2 weeks I had to go to the church in this way.

Then in January, my body got swollen caused by painkiller and injection given by the clinic. I stopped the painkiller and injection, because the swell was getting worse. I prayed and relied on the Lord. Still, I had the persistent back pain.

When our church had a charismatic holy meeting at the end of May, I asked the elder in charge to pray for me. I felt my back got warm and felt numb while I was being prayed. Then, wonder happened. My severe back pain was much better than before! And my back pain disappeared and completely healed before Hakuba camp in July. Thank you, God.
