Training completed, finally up and running
Starting Monday, we will go to each branch office, not the main government office, and deal with the counter for the first time. It is almost impossible to learn job contents and procedures only in 9 days while it takes the staff more than 3 months to learn. And since the information will be opened …
We were doing exercises for the upcoming work starting next month. I'm a bit anxious that we will have to do our work without the manual. So, I'll do my best to review what I've learned so far.
We have been in training for the new job since last week. Yesterday we had a quiz. Today we role-played as a customer and an employee, just like in a real job.
My major is English, but I felt recently that my English skills had critically been down. Then I decided to take the TOEIC in December for the first time in several years. Therefore, I woke up early every morning and started studying English two weeks ago.
www.youtube.com I found this YouTube today. I love this kind of music. Celtic music can be fun music that makes you want to dance, but it is also very exotic and fantastical.^^
When I posted on Instagram from my PC yesterday, it seemed to reflect on my PC but not on my phone. Something seemed wrong with my WiFi. Hours later, I couldn't see my friend's new post on my phone, even though the icon showed "1". Restarting my iPhone, I could see my morning's post that had disappe…
The training for the new job will last until the end of September, so there is a lot to learn. ^^; Then again, I still want to work using English, so I have decided on a routine of things to do and am re-studying English intensively on my own.
After the typhoon is gone, the temperature must have been almost 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. I came to work wearing a cardigan for the first time. I dither over what to wear this time of year.
Since January, my lunch box has always been a sandwich, but today was the first time I brought an onigiri (rice ball). An onigiri and a banana were my lunch today. From now on, I will switch between onigiri and sandwiches daily.
Today I watched the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on YouTube Live. Various TV stations were broadcasting it live, but I watched it on BBC with automatic subtitles in English. Because I am not good at listening to British accents.^^;
It's still been hot these days, but fall has come. The Kyushu area seems to have hazardous weather just as a typhoon is approaching. My friend, a pastor in Miyazaki, temporarily closed his church because life is more important than coming to church. I think it is the right decision.
I forgot to post yesterday's diary.^^; 9/16/2022 The first half of last month I was home sick with corona, worked 3 weeks and was paid until the end of the month. Today I started a new job. 9/17/2022 I thought I would be tired at work because of being after one month's break, but I was so happy to b…
I am always good in the morning, but this morning I felt somewhat out of sorts. I was a bit worried, so I took my temperature just to be sure, and it was normal. Reorganizing the kitchen drawers for a change, I started to feel better and better.
I'll try to write at least 3 lines in my daily English diary starting today. I had my new glasses made for the first time in decades. It is a reading glasses. Recently I've found it a bit difficult to read books for long hours because of my astigmatism and creeping presbyopia.
イエスは彼女に言われた、 「わたしはよみがえりであり、命である。わたしを信じる者は、たとい死んでも生きる。(ヨハネ11:25) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.(John 11:25 NKJV) ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 11:25 Gospel according to John Εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀνάστασις said to h…

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Heidi (@heidichan0330) These are the photo and verse from 12/31 on the Bible app. I linked it to this blog, for this verse has something in common with my current feelings. The Lord is with us whenever we are in good times or not. He is not far away and n…
The verse on the above image is NIV. The following are three other versions: “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they exist, and were created and brought into being.” (AMP) “You are worthy, O Lord, …
Don't worry but pray(Philippians 4:6-7)
The verse above is not NIV(New International Version) but NLT(New Living Translation). It seems that the Word of God is mainly quoted from the two versions. So, I've added NLT to the app HOLY BIBLE. There is only Philippians 4:6 on the above image. However, as I think Philippians 4:6 and 7 is like "…

Bible comparison: Matthew 7:7-8
The following is the free app 'HOLY BIBLE' for iPhone. It's very useful: there are 1,884 Bible translations in 1,302 languages. We use 'the Japanese colloquial Bible(口語訳)' at our church, which is available from this app. Recently, most churches use '新改訳' which is regrettably not available free. I li…
Easter is over, calm Monday...
This is my favorite place 'Nyhavn' in Copenhagen, Denmark. I used to make a 2-week trip to Europe every year, which was a great joy to me fleeing from my heavy workload at the office.

今日は復活祭です。^^今日も日本語で失礼します。^^;明日からは英語に戻します。 すると、御使いは女たちに言った。 「恐れてはいけません。あなたがたが十字架につけられたイエスを捜しているのを、私は知っています。ここにはおられません。前から言っておられたように、よみがえられたからです。来て、納めてあった場所を見てごらんなさい。ですから急いで行って、お弟子たちにこのことを知らせなさい。イエスが死人の中からよみがえられたこと、そして、あなたがたより先にガリラヤに行かれ、あなたがたは、そこで、お会いできるということです。では、これだけはお伝えしました。」 そこで、彼女たちは、恐ろしくはあったが大喜びで…

These pictures are the Garden of Gethsemane, Israel. Gethsemane means oil squeezing in Hebrew.Olive trees become bigger and thicker as they grow in age.

The sermon on the mount and the Lord's prayer
It's been a very long time since I put the last posting. There are many films about Jesus Christ. The latest one is "The Passion of the Christ", which might be the most famous.

Reunion after 10 years@English cafe
As I began learning Greek two months ago, I feel how difficult Greek is and realized the actual meaning of the phrase "It's all Greek to me."

プロテスタントは色々な教派（福音派、ペンテコステ派、その他多数）があります。私の教会はペンテコステ派で、水のバプテスマと聖霊のバプテスマを受けることを重要視しています。教派によって色々な考え方や特色があり、違っていても同じ神様を信仰しているということで一致していますし尊重しています。ただ、私の証（信仰体験の話）はありのままの事実ですが、ペンテコステ派特有の証だということを前置きいたします。I'll write a story about my baptism with the Holy Spirit.On the first day I visited the church, K.I. too…

I was glued to a CS TV program last Saturday, for it was a kind of documentary covering Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. I used to listen to hard rock music in my younger days.

It is said that the proverbs in the Old Testament are mostly written by Solomon, King of Israel and King David's son. He was rich in wisdom given by God. I was really amazed to know that he had 300 wives and 700 concubines.Proverb is like a guidance to life, which gives us what is right and fair,how…
I'd like to write the origin of "Me kara uroko ga ochiru". In English we can say "the scales fall from one's eyes" or "suddenly realize the truth". I believe most Christians know the origin of the proverb, since it derives from Acts Chapter 9:18 "something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he c…
