Reflection: Our roles in life.

Here is the translation of your text into English:

“Many believers with numerous problems dreamed of many people carrying heavy burdens and issues. They wondered why the Lord allowed those people’s burdens to keep piling up. In the dream, a person approached the Lord and humbly asked why He allowed this. The answer in the Lord’s heart was: ‘I allow your suffering to accumulate until you can no longer act without My help. Then, you will return to Me, and I will bear your burdens together with you.’ ☺️. Recently, have you not felt crushed by your burdens, with your back aching? Surrender it to Jesus.

No one is strong enough to bear their burdens alone. 🤗

Author: Mary (my mother)”

When I can no longer hear, I will miss four things.

I will miss:

  1. My mother’s voice.

Every morning, I would hear my mother’s gentle voice. I thank God, and I pray to Him together with my mother.

  1. The chirping of birds and the sound of rain.

When I am relaxing, I enjoy listening to the chirping of birds and the sound of rain.

  1. Music. (Good music)

I really love listening to music, and when I travel, I enjoy music.

  1. The sound of the Japanese language.

Japanese is my favorite language, and listening to its sounds is a wonderful experience.

I am currently hard of hearing, but I can still hear, so I want to enjoy listening to this.

Thank you for reading. 🙏

Studying has become a wonderful journey.

Hello!

I am currently studying at university. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

So far, the thing I have worked hardest on is learning Japanese and Japanese Sign Language, which is usually called “Nihon Shuwa.” (日本手話)

When I was a child, I loved studying languages, and I wanted to learn other languages, but I didn’t have the money. When I entered university, I started studying English. After that, since I loved Japanese, I asked about Japanese courses, but the university didn’t offer any.

In 2020, when the pandemic started, our lives suddenly changed. I found out about a website called “Margoto” through the embassy’s site and signed up.

Since then, learning Japanese has become my dream. However, the more I studied, the harder it seemed. I told myself, “Don’t give up!” One day, when I came back from the doctor’s office, I felt frustrated. I began to lose my hearing. So, I started to research Japanese Sign Language and began studying by watching YouTube videos. I will not give up. I want to become fluent in Japanese. Even if I can’t hear, I believe I can communicate in sign language.

Remembering words has always been a bit difficult for me, and when I speak, I get frustrated if I can’t recall a word. One day, when I was at home, I heard something about the abacus. The person on TV said, “If you use your fingers while memorizing, you will remember faster.” I thought that if I practiced both Japanese and sign language at the same time, I might be able to learn words faster. By doing this, I started to memorize words more quickly, which made me very happy.

When I practice and study, it becomes easier to remember words, and I gain more confidence in both Japanese and Japanese Sign Language.

I am very satisfied to have had this experience. No dream is easy to achieve, but when it is difficult, we must keep working hard. This is what I am working hard for.

Thank you, everyone for reading!

Hello!!!

This is my new blog, where I want to share with you photos and reflections.

I’m not a professional photographer, but I am an enthusiast of nature photography. I especially love taking photos of cats, so you’ll see a lot of them here. There are plenty of cats in my neighborhood. I also enjoy capturing and finding shapes in the clouds.

I’m still in the beta phase, and sometimes I make mistakes when configuring the ISO on my phone or camera.

That’s all for now.

This is something I worked on a few months ago.

If you have any advice, please feel free to share it with me.
