2 Chronicles 29-30:
Kanami shared how she felt that Hezekiah did a really good job in uniting the people to turn to God, at least while he was king. She related this to what she learned yesterday during the sermon and stated that she felt that the people did repent truly (again, that is while Hezekiah was king), which is why they were able to come together and work towards the celebration of the Passover. She also pointed out that everything worked well for because the people followed Godâs word. (ch.30:12)
I learned about knowing Godâs will and being a leader. I believe that the reason that Hezekiah was able to persuade the people, unlike the other kings, was because he knew what Godâs will was and followed what God said. Iâve come to understand more recently, that just because something is good, does not mean that it is Godâs will. Therefore, I want to come to be able to understand what Godâs will is in any situation. I also learned that only God can change people. Having been able to experience what it’s like being a leader in the church, Iâve realized I have a tendency of trying to do everything myself. I unintentionally put the load on myself and feel like I have to do everything to unite the people. This has led to a lot of fleshly effort in the past. Iâm learning more and more to not try to do everything myself and instead, ask God what I should do in a given situation.
Our Weeks:
Kana shared yesterday during the youth meeting how she served Steven Spielberg at her restaurant. ð€¯ I asked her more about it today: whether she got to talk to him (not really, but she did overhear what he was talking about, apparently heâs been trying to learn a little Japanese ð)
I shared about how I had a good time helping Hideko-san move with the church, and how I went too far in the beginning. I realize I tend to mistakingly go to the wrong places a lot. ð I also shared how I watched a movie called âMickey 17.â
Prayer:
In the end, we decided to pray for Timothy and his girlfriend: that his girlfriend will be saved and be freed from all her problems and that she will have a healthy relationship with Timothy in Christ.
We stood on the verse: Matthew 11:28
Then we prayed in tongues for about 3 min.

2 Chronicles 31:
I shared how the last 2 verses stood out to me. From them, I learned about committing myself wholeheartedly to God as itâs something I learned from a recent sermon this year and have been learning to do from Masami-san and Jun. Before, my mindset was always geared toward prioritizing my own needs, like school, however, ever since Masami-san and Jun began helping me this year, Iâve been learning to commit myself towards God. Iâve realized that this is the true path towards peace bc I now have the faith that God will take care of me so I donât have to worry about my own needs, instead, I should focus on what God wants me to do. Another truth Iâve also been learning from Masami-san is to not be ãã¡ãReading about how all the people contributed what they had to help Hezekiah, reminded me of this. I have experienced how protected and taken-care of I am in Godâs hands and therefore, I have come to have a stronger faith that God will always provide for me in abundance. I do not want to be someone who is always worrying about needs running out. Thus, with this faith, I want to learn to give abundantly no matter how my physical circumstance may look.
Kanami also shared that she learned about committing herself to God. She learned from the example of the people that bc they were committed to God, they wanted to contribute and give what they could to help Hezekiah. While I was talking about entrusting myself to God, Kanami shared about how she too realized that this path helps her to think and speak more positively as she knows that God is always with her and will take care of her.
Our Weeks
Kana shared that she took her car to maintenance yesterday to get it checked up.
I discussed how I had been studying for my test which I will be taking later today.
We then talked a bit about the Dodgers winning the World Series.
*We did not pray today bc I was at school (I asked Masami-san about this and she said I shouldnât pray in tongues when Iâm at school)
