Esther 5:1-14: In this selection, Esther has gone to the king. She has gotten dressed in her finest robes.   When he asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted him and Hamon to come to a banquet. When they were at the banquet, the king asked Esther again what she wanted. She said she wanted them to join her again. Hamon went home boosting about himself. The last time I did something scary to obey was when I had to witness to this lady. It was very scary for me, but when it was over, i felt very excited.

Friday

Esther 4:1-17: In the selection, Mordecai heard of the news. After hearing this, he wore sath cloths and put ashes on his head. Esther soon found out about Mordecai's distress. She sent someone to give him some clothes, however he rejected them. Mordecai sent them with the news to Esther. After finding out, Esther told them to fast three days and night. Then she would go to the king ,and if she perished, she perished. In a way I have shown my faith is in my friends. I always have faith that they got my back. No one can replace them!

Thursday

 Esther 3:1-5: In the selection, Hamon was rewarded for his doing of finding the king a queen. He was given a high seat of honor. When he passed by, you were suppose to bow to him. However when he passed by Mordecai, he did not bow. After the officials told Hamon, he became mad. I am tempted to compromise my faith when others are doing things i know i am not suppose to do.

Except if it was money and the person forgot to ask me for it. Then I will keep it.

His wife made a command for the people to kill Naboth. After Naboth was killed, he took the vineyard. God told Abah through the prophet that he would die where Naboth died. And he did.

Week 5: Friday

1 Kings 19: 1-21 : In the selection, the Lord comes to Elijah. When the a wind came, the Lord was not there. After, there was an earthquake, and the Lord was not in it. The same happened with a fire. After that, there was a whisper. The Lord was in the whisper. Usually when people think of God talking to them, they think of loud booming voices. However, God has a soft voice that touches our hearts and makes them tender. The last time I felt sorry for myself was when I could not go to Nagoya's for sushi.

She will give you water and something to eat. The lady gave them the food and water and she was  blessed. Trusting and obeying God go together in life because when you faithfully trust him and obey him, he will surely bless you. He will bless you so abundantly that you will not be able to receive it.
