A Torah Scroll for Japan!! A Story in a few Parts and continuing...
I went back to the US for a visit in December to visit my Dad and celebrate his 90th Birthday.
On the way I attended
a conference in Florida, where little unbeknownst to me I would be
going back to Japan with a Torah Scroll!!
On my way to see my Dad I made a stop in Florida to attend a Messianic conference that was being held on my birthday! It seemed like a miracle that it was still in the middle of the pandemic and tough restrictions were in place, and yet the LORD opened up the door for me to go on this trip to see my Dad and have this stopover, a gift from heaven in itself!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. Jacob (James) 1:17
The day I received the Torah was on the day of my birthday. It was the Shabbat Parsha Vayechi.
The Parsha was significant because this year Vayechi was on my birthday, Dec. 18. Vayechi contains the Hebrew word `Chai` (חי) which means life, and is expressed in the number 18. Seeing this parsha for life on the 18th and it also being my birthday I knew there was something special on this day. I felt in my spirit that `this Torah portion is for me`, like a `Bat Mitzvah`portion!! As I never sensed that before, I was expectant, though not knowing just in what way!
The Torah will go forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem＊
The Torah scroll came to Florida all the way from Jerusalem, with a young man named Israel and his family, who are active in ministry for the restoration of Israel. I told a dear new friend who I had just met at the conference that when I saw the Torah, the LORD put it in my heart to bring the scroll back to Japan! She was 100 percent in agreement, and even offered to co-partner with me in getting the Torah. She wanted to bless the LORD in sending His word forth, and to bless Japan!! It was decided that afternoon before the end of the Shabbat, that after Shabbat we would purchase the scroll together!! Israel wrapped it carefully as I would be on my journey to NY for the next part of my trip to see my Dad the next day!
I didn`t know how I was going to carry the scroll and my big suitcase that I had with me for a month-long trip!! Even the suitcase alone was a challenge when making the various international and domestic transfers. And yet I went forward in faith and knew that the LORD would carry it, and so He did!
HalleluYah! To be continued...
＊from verse Micah 4:2, Isaiah 2:3

Song: There is None like You, by Joshua Aaron
(Thanks to Yeshua, it was a blessing to be able to hear live, as it is one of the songs he played at the conference)
How Majestic is Your Name in all the Earth!
Chorus lyrics:
There is none like You
Together we proclaim
The power of Your Name,
There is None like You.
I couldn't take my eyes off your pictures with the Thora scroll for Japan.

This was a beautiful post to read, and the song was lovely to hear - I will play it often in my work room. My mother was born of Jewish parents, and I have always loved everything associated with Israel. God bless.
