Blessing Testimony

I don't have much of a testimony about the actual blessing event, but if you are interested I can give a testimony about my experience after the blessing and how God has been working in my relationship with my spouse. I am now on a program called ALT (Asian Leadership Training), and I was able to spend a couple of days with my spouse after the blessing, she had to go back to Japan, and I soon afterwards went back to Southeast Asia. While she was here I wasn't been able to talk to her much, since she only speaks a little bit of English and I don't speak Japanese, but I feel this deep unexplainable love for her, my guess is because it was God and True Parents who put us together.

So since I am on this program I have very small window of opportunity to call her. So I started to miss her a lot, and since I'm doing this mission I had to push that feeling away and focus on what I am doing now. A lot of times I wish I could have talked to her more in America, I wanted to know everything about her, but at the blessing event I was so nervous I didn't know what to say, so I was very shy. I wanted to dream of the future when we will be together after I'm finished with ALT and STF, and I can be with her. Yet I couldn't, because that would distract me from my task at hand and I wouldn't be able to invest 100% into whatever it is that I'm doing, whether service projects or giving lectures.

After a few days or a week, I'm not quite sure how long, but God intervened into my life, and comforted my spirit through flowers. I know it may sound weird, but at the time we were in Cambodia, and every time I saw a lotus it reminded me of her. Her beauty, and kindness reflected in this flower, and soon I saw this in every beautiful flower. This made me so happy, to think of this without even trying, God wanted me to be happy, and this way I didn't need to daydream. I then worried about whether she was OK, because I haven't called her in a while.

It took 45 days until I could finally talk to her, I tried numerous times, but there was always something wrong with the computer I was using or the connection. Once I finally talked to her I was so happy, and after that conversation I realized that I didn't need to worry anymore if she was going to leave me. I've heard from others that international blessings are tough, and break sometimes because of the distance, but its because of our love for God and True Parents that we will always love each other and stay together. Our love is deeper then that of any regular person in this secular world, and I am so grateful for this. Oh and her name is Yoeko the love of my life.
