Keiko Loew’s Testimony from the 7-Day Japanese Revival Workshops
I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate workshop at IPEC. Right now I work three jobs because I’m transitioning from one to another. I wake up at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. to start the day, but I don’t get much sleep at night so I have trouble waking up, and fall back asleep. This happened recently and I had a dream that somebody came to the door to pick me up. I could see through the front door that it was Mr. Kachi (who gave us lectures these past seven days), waving his hands. I felt that Heavenly Father and my ancestors were helping me, that this must be a very important workshop for me to join.
When I came to IPEC, I was so amazed because of the high spirit here. I felt the Holy Spirit, guiding me to a higher spiritual level. It was pure and sincere, comforting and loving. I felt so much hope that we can solve all our struggles if we connect with this spirit. I strongly felt that we are focusing on the problem too much. We have a heart to love and support, and to sacrifice.
I am grateful to True Mother and Dr. Ki Hoon Kim, Mr. and Mrs. Inose, and all staff members and Kodan leaders who worked hard to prepare for this precious workshop. I am really grateful for this opportunity, even though I couldn’t attend the full seven days. I learned that the most important things are a deeper understanding of Divine Principle, Hoon Dok Hwe (scripture study), feeling the love of God, and self-discipline.
My father-in-law was hospitalized before I came here. I became so close to my parents-in-law. I could sincerely take care of my father-in-law all night. I was thinking that I couldn’t take care of True Father, or my father, so I put my whole heart into taking care of him. His condition improved in the morning, and I could reconcile with my sister-in-law, who hasn’t spoken to me in a while.
Because of the 43 missionary sisters, I remember so many memories of True Father, who loved us. Kodiak is a special place where True Parents came to visit so many times. I had an opportunity to serve True Parents and guests. True Father asked me how I feel and how my husband and I are doing after the Marriage Blessing Ceremony. I realized that Kodiak is the place where I received so much love from True Parents. Now I want to find the way to spiritually connect to True Mother more.
Now, I repent my shortcomings, and strive to do more Hoon Dok Hwe and prayer, study Divine Principle, make goals, find a trinity, and work together on outreach. Thank you so much for everything.
