Eastbourne & London Trip

Christmas & New Year

This Christmas, is the first time I will be away from church since I baptised in year 2003. I told Aunty Ruth that I felt hard to be away from church. The thought of staying in the church kept spinning in my mind until I have a burden heart to leave church. Then Aunty Ruth says, "Get out! Leave your comfort zone and be a disciple to spread the gospel to outsiders." She is right. Stop being a spoilt child and staying in a comfort zone.

Of course if you are around at church this year, do not feel offended with my words. This is just come around my case here. You are at church this year, with a purpose that God granted this year. And for me, I am sharing that I've got chance to leave the church to be outside this year. If that is the case, just uphold in prayer. "God, please grant me exra strength, wisdom and protection as I am going out." I remember Huang Mei Lian said in her testimonial video, "When you could not change the environment surrounding you, please pray that God will grant you extra strength to face the environment surrounding you."

After Christmas, another occasion is approaching- New Year. This new year, I will be away to Ireland. I will visit North and South Ireland. This might be my last europe vacation before going back to Malaysia in January 2009. May God grant me a wonderful holiday, with a purposeful holiday. May God open my eyes and sensitivity to the needy to your eternal gift. I know I am a cracked pot in His eyes, but pray that God will accept my serving to Him... continue to mold me and cleanse me everyday. Renew my heart O Lord.

Topical bible sharing - Repentance

I was busy last week, was conducting the play on 19th Dec Student Fellowship Christmas Evangelical Night, recording video and shooting photo of church bible studies groups and fellowships for 25th Dec Video Presentation at church, preparing for topical bible sharing on 12 Dec Student Fellowship and also preparing to go back home country. But thank God for the busy weeks!

When I was preparing topic of topical bible sharing for yesterday student fellowship - Repentance. I came across a verse in Hebrew 6:4-9, talking about we re-crucified Jesus on the cross. Many people told me that they dare not watch the movie 'Passion of Christ' or commented how cruel is those men when they tortured and crufified Jesus Christ. In that verse 6, it says "if they fall away, to be brought back o repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." How many times have you been crucifying Jesus Christ all over again and again?

I felt sick the day before the sharing. I pray to God that if that is what You want me to share with brothers and sisters, please help me to have voice to talk to them. At the same time, I said to illness that if that is what God wanna do, no one able to stop it. Friday morning, I felt terribly pain in my throat when I woke up. I pray inside my heart, just for tonight. Thank God, I am fine for the night and able to convey the message to fellow brothers and sisters. Although not much of them, but I believe those who God would want to talk to, they are all there. I know I share this topic not because I know more than them, a lot of them know more than me and have better relationship with God. But I thank God chosen me, and He touched me to share this with fellow brothers and sisters. Many times, what we talked was about the love of God, even in the worship. Yes, God love us, yet we all have to keep watch of what we are doing in our daily lives. Do not live like a fool and spoilt child!

Saturday, when Kan Yeep called me up in the morning, I picked the call, yet I had no voice to come out from my mouth. And then he said ok ok, we talked in msn. I felt itchy in my throat, yet I could not cough out loud and could not cough out the phlegm, because I have sore throat, it hurts. But I was getting better in the afternoon and evening, although it is still out of tune. Haha!

This is the first time since I baptised, I do not at church during Christmas. This Christmas, I will travel to Eastbourne, somewhere near the beach of Brighton, near London- Yu Ling's aunty house, with Yuling, Joven and David Prince. Emanuel...!

A Night Lesson - Keep Watch!

I had a nice chat with Aunty Ruth last night.

Sometimes when we walking on the path of following Jesus, we may like Peter and two sons of Zebedee(Matthew 26:36 -46), the spirit is willing but the body is weak, and they fell into the temptation- fall asleep, well, it could be other temptations. From this passage, Jesus Christ said to them to keep watch with him, yet they still fell into sleep. Jesus reminded them for few times to keep watch, He talked to them face to face! Yet they still fail to do so. Not Jesus tell you this too? Brothers and sisters...There is another passage indicating 'keep watch' too in book of Matthew, which is in Matthew 25:1-13, The Parable of Ten Virgins.

She reminded me that evil will not only attack us by our laziness, jealousy, pride, and others; but evil will also attack us by aiming on our kindness, generousity, and our soft hearts. They will find wayssssss to knock us down, find holes to pull us away from God. I was immediately awaken by what she shared with me. It opened my eyes as I saw the dangerous of what we are not aware of, and what we do not pay attention at all. All the while what we think is ok, but it is not ok at all; all the while, we thought we could get rid of it, but we couldn't.

'Yes' and 'No', is easy to say, but hard to decide. Beware! Yes is yes, no is no; do not make yourself to stand in the middle of yes and no. If you are not in the light, you are in the darkness, there is no grey spot! God is just and righteous. Do not compromise with the grey spot. Even small mistake, we should be aware of it to spread. It is like the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Matthew 16:5), just a small yeast that will work all through the dough. To be like a yeast for the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13:33) is pleasing the eyes of God, but do not be the yeast or beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees that putting in your 'dough'.

I hope this sharing will benefit you as well. If Jesus comes back tomorrow (well, just a 'if'), are you ready to meet Him? Yes? Are you sure? No?... when will you be ready then? Now? Today? Tomorrow? Another tomorrow?...

Jesus answered:'Watch out that no one deceives you...' ~
Matthew 24: 4

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour'~
Matthew 25:13

Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of dealth. Stay here and keep watch with me."~
Matthew 26:38

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."~
Matthew 26:41

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."~
Genesis 4:7

Life without Limbs

為何上帝會讓此等悲劇發生？

“为什么”是我们很喜欢问的问题。我们不止问别人为什么，也很喜欢问上帝为什么。

愿这个真实对白给你带来答案。

美國著名牧師葛培理的女兒安妮，於911後被美國某電視台邀請出席節目。

主持人單刀直入問：「為何上帝會讓此等悲劇發生？」
她以神的睿智，道出一番見解︰

我深信神跟我們一樣，為此事極度痛心。
但美國人在這些年來，將神從學校中趕走、將祂從政府內踢走、將祂從我們生活中剔走。
我相信神只有默默地從我們的生活中無奈淡出。
當初是我們自己叫神離開，為甚麼現在又要問祂到底在那裡？
為甚麼我們有權質問神，為何不保護美國人？
不如讓我們回顧美國這幾年的道德發展，好嗎？

某年，有人提出，學校內不可祈禱，因為學校應宗教中立，學校無權要求學生祈禱。
我們說︰「無問題！」
某月，有人覺得教導人「不可殺人、不可偷盜、要愛鄰舍」的聖經落伍，不如把它從學校中拿走。
我們說︰「無問題！」
某日，有人說︰「孩子的自尊心很脆弱，我們不應使用體罰。」（說這話的人，他的孩子最終自殺身亡。）
我們說︰「無問題！」
某刻，有人說︰「時代變了，老師、校長不應責罰學生 ，學生承受太大壓力了。」因怕惹怒家長，引起傳媒報導，學校不敢處罰學生。
我們說︰「無問題！」
又有人說︰「孩子有人權，他們有權接受墮胎手術，更沒有責任通知父母。」
我們說︰「無問題！」
他說︰「與其閃閃縮縮，不如主動教孩子如何使用安全套。反正孩子都是好奇嘛，婚前性行為，沒甚麼大不了！」
我們說︰「無問題！」
有人說︰「工作跟私人生活應分開，只要那總統能搞好經濟.....我們幹嗎要管人家的私生活？！人人都有私隱嘛！」
我們說︰「無問題！」
有人說︰「瀏覽色情網站是個人自由，即使是兒童色情網站又如何？這都是個人言論自由，關你甚麼事！」
我們說︰「無問題！」
有人說︰「現代人應有開放思想，電視、電影的色情、暴力，只不過在反映社會實況。關於毒品、強姦、謀殺、惡魔的歌詞，也不過是宣洩情緒、紓緩壓力......為何要大驚小怪？想做就去做嘛！」
我們說︰「無問題！」
成年人為社會訂下以上種種「社會制度」後，我們又要追問︰為甚麼現今孩子沒有良知？為何孩子持槍殺人？為何13歲的孩子已為人父母？為甚麼911慘劇要發生？

神無奈地答︰「孩子呀！是你們不許我踏入你們的生命。」
若細心思索，不難發現這一切是我們自己做成的，我們親手摧毀了自己所栽種的。
人們離棄神，卻又質問神為何整個世界正走向地獄的門口。
有趣的是，我們相信報紙所說的，卻質疑經上所說的。
你可以透過電郵發出笑話，並且很快被廣傳，但當你發出與神有關的信息時，人們卻猶豫。
不雅及色情的文章在網上自由地發放；但在學校及工作環境中，對於神的公開討論卻被抑制。

你正在想什麼呢？

Chicken soup of the Soul

雖然鬧鐘響時我會懊惱，會拉棉被蓋住頭。
我要感謝上帝，因為我能聽得到。有好多人耳聾。

雖然我還是閉著眼睛，厭惡清晨的陽光，
我要感謝上帝> ，因為我能看到。有好多人眼瞎。

雖然我賴床不想起身，
感謝上帝我有能力站起來。好多人需終生睡在床上。

雖然這一天剛開始就一塌糊塗，襪子找不到，稀飯溢得到處都是，小孩又吵又鬧，每個人火氣都很大。
感謝上帝，我有一個家。孤寂的人到處都是。

雖然我們的餐桌從來沒有像雜誌的圖片那樣，早餐也是拼拼湊湊。
感謝上帝 賜給我們食物。飢餓的人是那麼多。

雖然我的工作枯燥乏味，常常千篇一律。
我還是要感謝上帝，我有工作機會。失業的人好多好多。

雖然我常抱怨、感嘆命運不好。
感謝上帝賜給了我生命。

This thing is from ME

“这事出于我”。（王上十二：24）

“得意暗藏在失意之中”——福克斯牧师

我的孩子，今天我有一个信息传给你；好叫你上面的黑云消散，前面岖路变平。这个信息是很短的，只有五个字，但是我要你铭刻心中；又把它当作一个枕头来安放你疲倦的头，使你真能高枕无忧。这个信息是什么呢？就是“这事出于我”。

你有没有想到过：凡与你有关的事，也与我有关？因为：“摸你们的，就是摸我眼中的瞳仁”（亚二：8）；“我看你为宝，为尊”（赛四十叁：4）。所以，我特别喜欢训练你。

　　 当试炼攻击你，“仇敌好象急流的河水冲来”（赛五十九：19）的时候，我要你知道“这事出于我”，你的软弱需要我的刚强，你的平安在乎让我替你争战。

你是不是正在艰难的环境中，四周的人都不了解你，都不遂你的心意，都看不起你？“这事出于我”。我是管理环境的神。你所处的境遇并非偶然的，都有我的美意在其中的。

你不是曾求我给你谦卑吗？你看，我已经把你反在一个学习谦卑的学校里了，你所接触的人和环境是被我利用来成全我的旨意的。

你是不是正感觉经济缺乏呢？“这事出于我”，因为我是经营你用度的，我要你向我支取，完全仰赖于我。我的供给是无限的（腓四：19）。我要你证实我的应许，我不愿意你“在这事上却不信耶和华你们的神”（申一：32）。

你是不是整夜忧愁呢？“这事出于我”。我是忧患之子，常经忧患，深知怎样担当忧患的。当你向世人寻求安慰时，我故意叫他们不给你同情，好叫你转向我寻求永远的安慰（帖后二：16／17）。你是不是渴望为我作些伟大的工作，结果倒反卧病在床呢？“这事出于我”。在你忙碌的日子，我不能引起你的注意力来；我要你学习一些更深的功课。事奉不是体贴自己的热心，乃是遵行我的旨意。我有许多顶心腹的仆人，都是关于最冷僻的地方，用祷告事奉我。

今天我把这个信息当作一瓶香膏送在你手里。你可以自由敷用。我的孩子，不顺的环境，扎心的毁谤，无故的逼迫等等，临到你的时候，你就敷上这香膏。如果你能在一切事上看见“这事出于我”，所有的痛苦便会立时消失了。——司诺



“This thing is from me.” (1 Kings 12:24)

“Life’s disappointments are veiled love’s appointments.” --- Rev. C. A. Fox.

My child, I have a message for you today; let me whisper it in your ear, that it may gild with glory any storm clouds which may arise, and smooth the rough places upon which you may have to tread. It is short, only five words, but let them sink into your inmost soul; use them as a pillow upon which to rest your weary head. This thing is from ME.

Have you ever thought of it, that all that concerns you concerns Me too? For, “he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of mine eye” (Zech. 2:8). You are very precious in My sight. (Isa. 43:4), Therefore, it is My special delight to educate you.

I would have you learn when temptations assail you, and the “enemy comes in like a flood,” that this thing is from Me, that your weakness needs My might, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you.

Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, who never consult your taste, who put you in the background? This thing is from Me. I am the God of circumstances. Thou camest not to thy place by accident, it is the very place God meant for thee.

Have you not asked to be made humble? See then, I have placed you in the very school where this lesson is taught; your surroundings and companions are only working out My will.

Are you in money difficulties? Is it hard to make both ends meet? This thing is from Me, for I am your purse-bearer and would have you draw from and depend upon Me. My supplies are limitless (Phil. 4:19). I would have you prove my promises. Let it not be said of you, “In this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God” (Deut. 1”32).

Are you passing through a night of sorrow? This thing is from Me. I am the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief. I have let earthly comforters fail you, that by turning to Me you may obtain everlasting consolation (2 Thess. 2:16, 17). Have you longed to do some great work for Me and instead have been laid aside on a bed of pain and weakness? This thing is from Me. I could not get your attention in your busy days and I want to teach you some of my deepest lessons. “They also serve who only stand and wait.” Some of My greatest workers are those shut out from active service, that they may learn to wield the weapon of all-prayer.

This day I place in your hand this pot of holy oil. Make use of it free, my child. Let every circumstance that arises, every word that pains you, every interruption that would make you impatient, every revelation of your weakness be anointed with it. The sting will go as you learn to see Me in all things. --- Laura A. Barter Snow.

“This is from Me,” the Saviour said, As bending low He kissed my brow, “For One who loves you thus has led. Just rest in Me, be patient now, Your Father knows you have need of this, Tho’, why perchance you cannot see.--- Grieve not for things you'e seemed to miss. The thing I send is best for thee.” Then, looking through my tears, I plead, “Dear Lord, forgive, I did not know, Twill not be hard since Thou dost tread, Each path before me here below. And for my good this thing must be, His grace sufficient for each test. So still I’ll sing, Whatever be God’s way for me is always best.”

True Peace

Happened to read those writings on the calendar which hang in my boss's shop. The calendar belongs to our church - Sheffield Chinese Christian Church. The writings are appeared on the page of September.

"Do not let your peace depend on what people say about you, whether people speak good or ill of you, make no difference to what you really are. True peace and joy are to be found in Christ and in Christ alone. The person who is neither anxious to please nor afraid to displease for the sake of the gospel is a true disciple of Jesus Christ and that person will enjoy true peace."

“不要让你的平安靠在别人的评价，世人称赞你或诋毁你，对你的真正价值毫无影响。 真正的平安与喜乐，惟基督可赐予，亦惟有在基督里可以找到。那不在意取悦人，又敢于直言不畏的人，才是耶稣基督真正的门徒，也必享有真正的平安。”

Thank God I have chance to work in a Chinese take-away during this trip to UK. This is my new and valuble experience to me. I haven't got chance to work in this kind of environment before. Although it was a little bit similar to what I had in my 3-day-training in McDonald's Malaysia (Which I worked in RMHC Malaysia before, yet everyone in HQ must have 3-day-training at operation restaurant), yet it is different in terms of customers, colleagues, and sharing the true feeling of a take-away shop owner. I was once worked in the local Chinese Community Centre, when I served the community, I knew their needs and situation, yet it came so real to me when I work hands-on. Again, thank God for putting me in this take-away shop, which belongs to a sister in Christ in my church. She has been treated me nicely and patiencely when I did it wrong. Oppss...hehe.

I lost, learned, and gained more ... ^^

Happened to sing this song in last Sunday Service...

J.Hudson Taylor- A man in Christ

Recently I am reading a book called, J.Hudson Taylor- A man in Christ, in mandarin version. I borrow it from a sister- Giselle, which belongs to another brother-Ah Qiu. Would like to share a few things I read inside:

When Hudson Taylor wanted to send out a few missionaries to China, he replied a letter to them with a few sentences to remind them,

“如果你要作苦工，而不求人的纪念；要讨神的喜悦，而不害怕得罪人；并有充分的准备，甚至在有需要的时，愿意为主流血作见证；很多时候，又乐于接受财物的损失。。。但在救人灵魂的事工上，你肯定可以得到极大的收获，有不朽的冠冕为你存留，还会得到主人的赞赏。”

Here are the rough translation of mine as below:-

If you want to work hard, yet do not ask for the remembrance of others; willing to pleased God, yet do not afraid of offending others; and has a full preparation, even when needed, willing to bleed for the sake of testimony to our Lord Jesus; often, also willing to accept the lost of of your belongings...But in the missionary of saving souls, you will definitely obtain the enormous harvest, has the eternal crown to preserve for you, but also can obtain the appreciation of our Almighty God."

Also,

“我们应相信一切人为的事，以及一切在基督丰盛恩典以外的事，必须能帮助我们领人归主，才有益处。如果我们的医疗工作可以吸引人到我们这里来，让我们把他们呈现在基督面前，那么，这医疗工作就有益处。但医疗工作若取代了传讲福音，便犯了极大的错误。我们若以学校或教育代替了改变人心的属灵能力，也是极大的错误。如果我们以为人可以藉着教育过程，而不用经过重生，就能悔改归正，更是大错特错。我们不要本末倒置，那些途径只是辅助而已，让人能够接触基督。如此，我们才可以真的为这些途径感谢神。。。我们的心高举荣耀的福音，相信它是神的能力，使人得救。让我们把一切放在福音之下。。。如果我们确知基督是我们的依靠，我们就永不灰心。”

The brief translation of it are:

We should believe that all that humanbeing can do, as well as all the things that out of the grace of God, which may help us in leading others to God, will be considered beneficial. But if we replacing other things insteading of sharing gospel, it is a great mistake; but sees those things as a way of assisting to bring people to know Christ. Our hearts must lift up the glory of gospel, believing it is by the power of God to save souls. Let us bring everything below the gospel. If we believe Jesus Christ is our savior, we must not give up, ever.

What do you think?

心痛

很心痛，很失望...
忽然之间，一切都变得那么的脆弱和虚假。
那就好像到头一棒，重重一击敲醒了。
很懊恼，像往常一样，白白的蹉跎岁月，
兜了一个很大的圈，原来还在原地。
何时才能学得聪明一点？

一切多么的不确实，一切多么的虚空，
唯有神不变，他的信实和爱
转眼仰望耶稣...

Blessed homeless life

I am now getting into a homeless life...yet I am blessed :D

New tenant moved into my room last evening around 5pm. That's the time I say goodbye to my comfortable and lovely King sized bed. I am quite sad to leave the house, as it had been a shelter for me for more than a year now.

I was getting to share the room with my housemate last night, yet when visited Joven in the evening... I decided to stay in Joven's house for 2 weeks, until Prince comes back from Msia.

Thank God for this excellent shelter ^^ It is a really good room, with broadband connection, hehe ... I like this house, because it is clean, simple, bright and 2 lovely and cute housemates - Joven and Kan Yeep. But I think I have to be their nanny/cook for the rest of 2 weeks time. Sob sob ...

顺服与听从的分别

一直以来，对于身边人解释顺服与听从的时候，我总是心理充满不同意。同样的，周围的人都认为我不同意，那是因为我不够顺服，所以不同意这样的说法。有几次，我也是在怀疑，到底是不是我真的那么硬，那么高傲？那如果是这样不懂得顺服的话，那宁愿不要害别人的幸福家庭好了。

但是，这一次，在寻找查经资料时， 发现这一个解释说法。我本人很认同。你们可以看一看，然后给我意见。我说，我愿意听听你们的意见。 我并不是只听我爱听的，接受我爱接受的。

请温柔提醒 :)

Bakewell Trip with TARCians

3rd Time Visit to York

Thank God for the apportunity to travel to York for the third time. This time I traveled with Regina, Regina's parent in-law and Giselle. I had a great time with Regina's parent in-law. They are both funny and cute. When Regina was helping them to take picture, asking them to 'act'. The father-in-law was suddenly acted like pointing here n there to show the wife of 'nothing', just to let Regina taking some funny picture. He also walked behind me and Giselle when we were taking photos, as he said he wanna be our background. Then the mother-in-law was just laughing adorably all the time. Thank God for the lovely time and I know Regina is blessed.

Lepak at Norfolk Park, Sheffield

After both of us had our job interview at Sheffield Chinese Community Centre, Giselle and I had a buffet lunch with Chee Seng and Chee Ming at Zing Vaa. Then, we went for a walk at Norfolk Park. They were all suprised when I said it was my first time at the Norfolk Park. I am yet to visit this 'famous' park although I was in Sheffield for long time. The park trail they have it here is more or less the same like one in Cambridge. This was my first impression when I entered into the park main entrance.

There after, we had a special meal at Chee Ming's house - Mi Hun Gui (Hokkien) by me, specially for them - Giselle, Chaou Choak, Chee Ming, Chee Seng, Kan Yeep, Eliz, Kin and Yuling. Followed by a hair cut for Chee Ming. What a long day...

暴。风。雨。

当风雨来临，正常的反应将会是找遮荫躲避。
当人生的暴风雨来临时，你又会是躲避还是坦然地面对？
我想，神允许这样的一个困境的降临，他有他的美意在里头。
我也清楚知道这一次，他要我学习的是什么。
只是，人嘛，总是在面对转变的时候会不知所措，也会反弹。
很多时候，在逆境，都在考验我们对神的信心。

其实，我们都可以免了很多的苦难或风暴。只要我们的目光放在神上。
只是，顺境的时候，人往往都得意忘形，
做了很多不该做的，神一直都在等我们回头，我们都不回头。。。
神爱我们，就好像父亲一样，看到孩子们就要跌倒了，都会要扶他一把。
无奈做孩子的都处置不理，好像一只无头的苍蝇一样，乱乱飞，直到撞到障碍物。。。
我们才懂得回头，但是，有时候我们还是一样叛逆的问神，甚至怨神 “为什么？！”

就在这时候，平时自以为是的我们，就会再次被粉碎，
直到我们愿意谦卑下来，再次将心完全的摆上，再次被神从新的朔造。
记得，神所允许的苦难，是我们所能够承受的。


在社区中心工作，学到也看到也经历了很多人情事故。
看到失落的灵魂，看到堕落的灵魂。
人的价值，到底是多少？人看自己的价值，又是多少？那神看人的价值，又是多少？
前面的两个问题，会有很多争议，因为不同人有着不同的价值观和意见。
但是，后面的那一个问题，就只有一个毫无保留的答案-
"神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，凡得永生。"~ 约翰福音3:16
神的独生子愿意用他的生命来换取你的生命，你觉得你的生命是值多少呢？
"惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。"~罗马书5:8
在父神的眼里， 你是真宝贵的。

5 July - Castleton Outing

感谢主又有一天的假期。而且还特别可以到山上爬山哦。
期待已久，从2002年到2008年，终于可以实现了。太开心了！
不上班被老板骂也值得了。嘻嘻！
我记得中学的时候，就三五个知己一起到公园去玩，到太平山爬山。
几乎每个星期一定有一两天跑步或爬山。想念年轻时的我。。。
我喜欢郊外，我喜欢原野的味道，我喜欢早上起身可以嗅到凉凉，并且青青的青草味。。。
还有斜阳。我喜欢新的一天的开始。昨天的我已死，今天的我活着，靠神的恩典从新做人。
这一次，很开心和一大班教会弟兄姐妹一起上山， 看那神所造- 宽阔自然的草原， 真的是山明水秀。这一个旅程，是借着拉曼学院的新生的到来，带他们到郊外去玩玩，看一看英国雪埠美丽的Peak District。

台湾原住民儿童原唱 - 那双看不见的手

Here are the English Lyrics:

I cant see you,I cant touch you
But I know that you are whispering to me
Oh Lord Jesus, oh Lord Jesus
I truly know that you are always here for me (repeat from beginning)

Yes, its your hands,your nailed scarred hands
Again comforts my broken weary heart
Its your sweet voice,most tender words
Again fills all the thirst and hunger of my soul
(repeat 3 times)

Weddings in UK & US

My great primary schoolmate cum old friend cum lovely brother in Christ is going to get married in this coming Saturday, 21st June 2008. I would like and love to attend his wedding in US if I were not the wedding planner for a brother & a sister in Christ in my church in UK. Wait... wait... don't get me wrong, I am not blaming or complaining. Indeed, I am thankful for the experiences I've gained in this wedding planning. I am new to wedding planning. Yet, thank for fellow sisters and brothers that keep reminding and helping me throughout the whole event.Pray that may God take the lead in this wedding.

Sorry Bro Yee Han, maybe I will pay you a visit when you have your first baby :D And I want to be his/her 'khai ma',ok? I pray that you will have a wonderful wedding too!

Love from sisters and brothers

I was not feeling well since last night, felt dizzy. The next day when i woke up, my head was spinning. I called my colleague and told him that I might have to go to work in the afternoon. Then again when he called me, he said if I am really not well, he can ask someone else to replace me. Oh thank God! I needed a rest, and I was still struggling on bed.

I spent the whole day in reading books and rest.


At night, chee seng, chee ming and aunty ruth visited me and cooked me porridge. I was so touched and really appreciated their brotherly love. They warmed my heart with love. Thank God for having lovely sisters and brothers around.

The Rose - Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love is a flower
And you, it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the
lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose

Dumpling Day

Our church starts a new ministry since end of May - English Class Ministry on Monday. Last Monday, aunty Zhang Wei from China would like to make chinese dumpling for us. She is one of the students in the class. Here are the pictures we had it on that day.

无题

朝朝暮暮，暮暮朝朝；
日起日落，潮起潮落；
红豆丝丝，绿豆剪剪；
我灵渴慕在青草地

His 'Rebekah'

Last two days ago, I got a msn message from a brother in US. He was using mobile msn to send me the message, which I can see how desperate he is to let me know eagerly.

He first told me that he is getting married. I thought he was kidding with me as I knew him was just breaking up with his previous girl friend 3 to 4 months ago. And the last time we talked was last 2 to 3 months ago, when he told me that he has already submitted everything onto God's hand and do not worry anymore, as he knew that God will provide a 'Rebakah' for him. It all started when he told me that he shared with his colleagues about loving his wife, and was searching for some verses in Genesis. He came across Genesis 24 about the story of God prepares Rebekah for Issac.

He was so excited and told me that God sent him an angel, brought her from another city (She is from China, so I would say another country ^^) to the front of him. As she was led by someone in church to introduce to him. He testified that only God can do such marvelous thing and Holy Spirit has already guided both of them. Therefore within a short time, they could come so close to marriage. I was so touched ... My goodness...! He is so amazing!

I was first would like to fly again to LA to attend his wedding. But...we.., I got another brother's wedding at my church in Sheffield on the same day, and I am the wedding coordinator.

He is indeed soooooooooooo awesome! Brought this brother - Yee Han, my primary shoolmate, who I knew him since I was 7 years old, in His kingdom last year. And continue to mold and bless him with a lot of marvelous works.

Yee Han, continue to serve in Him and do everything in pleasing Him only.

Our God, is an awesome God!

靠主的力量，重新来过。

TARC Welcoming Dinner 2008

Paul Washer's Message

Tell me what do you think :)

Earthquake in China

“如果我们把每一天，都当做人生的最后一天来看。”

这是新建今天在团契上的分享，让我最深刻的一句话。日子一天一天的过，我们常常把不必要的烦恼和懒惰阻拦我们应该实行的任务。

星期六工作的时候， 和来自北京的同事谈了有关这一次四川灾难。当他告诉我一个小故事时，我们俩泪水同时夺眶而出。两个傻傻的在柜台那里泪流满面，其他同事看到也忽然逃跑。

他说，

一批救援人员在寻找生还者的时候，看到一位妇女已经没有生命气息了。就继续的往前走，看看有没有其他的生还者。但， 忽然间听到有微微的婴孩呀呀的声音。就回头，往有声音的地方去寻找。那一位妇女是跪着去世的。声音，就在那一位妇女的低下，婴孩一点损伤都没有。小孩的胸前，找到了一个手机，有一个短讯，是婴孩的妈妈在还没有过世前留下的输入的。短讯说，‘孩子，如果你还活着，要知道妈妈爱你。’

新建在团契里面也提到一个很重要的经文，在路加福音13：1-5~
正当那时，有人将彼拉多使加利利人的血搀杂在他们祭物中的事告诉耶稣。
耶稣说；你们以为这些加利利人比众加利利人更有罪，所以受这害麽？
我告诉你们，不是的！你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡！
从前西罗亚楼倒塌了，压死十八个人；你们以为那些人比一切住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪麽？
我告诉你们，不是的！你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡！

New Born Baby

I was came back from a movie - Iron Man, after student fellowship. It was around 2am+, nearly 3am. Suddenly Bro Cheeming sent me a message and told me that Cheeseng had already accepted Christ a few hours ago. My heart nearly ran out from my mouth and I was so excited bout it. Within a few seconds, I was burst into tears. It was a joyful tear. Cheeseng has been attending our bible study group since the 'Welcoming Dinner for new student in Sheffield' on Sept 2007.

I joint their bible study group in early March, and became one of the bible study group leaders. The bible study group members were almost non-believers. But praise the Lord they willing to join us every Friday to study the book of Mark. If it is not Christ who attracts them to come, I can't find any reason to keep them coming. Or if you would say fellow sister and brothers, I would say ... hmm, could be... I read a bookmark before, it said, ' If you can't see Jesus Christ on someone else, let someone else to see Jesus Christ on you.' Yes, I would say yes, because we have Jesus Christ living in our heart. Is Christ who made us a better and sweeter person ^^ God is so good.

In this coming June, another new batch of TARCians are coming to Sheffield. We are so delighted to welcome them to our lovely Sheffield. Will be busy in publicity as well as assisting in leading new bible study for new comers. It would be a busy summer, but a meaningful one ^^ Let's smartly grab the strength from our heavenly Father - the source of strength of all and universal to continue our journey which He has perfectly plan for us.

Gam ba te oo!

Peak District Outing

Thank God for the day with fellow sisters and brothers. We are so blessed ... binded by the love of God, the origin source of Love. It's so marvelous! What I can say instead of 'Halleluyah!', still 'Halleluyah!'

Bro Kin Woon's Birthday on 22nd April 2008 (Tuesday)

We had another surprise birthday party for Bro Kin Woon. I do not understand why we always give surprise birthday party to one another. My goodness!

Eventually we had a series of events on that day itself. I was so tired to run here and there for the whole day at the centre. I was helping the catering at the kitchen for the 2nd event at centre. Joining the uncles at the kichen in cooking. They even 'stole' me some hot steamed bao from the stove before they served the guests, hehe.

Thank God for providing what we need for the birthday party. Innitially we wanted to cook bihun for Tom Yam soup, which we gonna use for steamboat as well. At the end, there were events at my workplace, and they left a lot of fried rice and noodle. The chef- Mr Wong, asked me whether I wanna take some back home. I shyly replied yes... and he said I can bring for my friends as well. So I again shyly told him that in fact I do have a birthday party on that night. Then he asked me how many will be there? I said around 13... He shouted "har?" "Then you bring all back home". Wow, it is a big rice cooker of fried rice and a big plate of fried noodle. Eeee... shy shy. So, by faith, I said thank you and then God sent the angel at the right time to drive home the fried rice and noodle, thank you Aunty Ruth.

Thank God for the fried rice, or else I did not know how to feed our dear Bro Daniel, who ate half of the fried rice in that BIG rice cooker. My goodness!!!

And I felt thankful as well, as the uncles at community centre take care of me very much. The chef - Mr Wong, always informed me beforehand when he will be the one who cook for Elder Luncheon Club the next week. He knew I like spicy food and he brought me a bottle of Lee Kum Kee chilli oil last week. I was so touched!

Another Mr Yao, saw me cooking instant noodle this afternoon. He taught me how to cook better noodle and help me switch off the fire at the stove. Although it was just a mere gesture, but it touched me for his caring to me.

Master.Mission.Mate

I've found something interesting, share with you all.

God's definition of love is a committed, sacrificial, and unconditional love. This is the kind of love that any solid friendship, dating, and marriage relationship must be built on. God's way of love is the key to a significant life and to meaningful relationships.

In order to love God's way, we must first experience God's love personally. Only when we know we are loved just for who we are, and we are secure in God's love, can we share that love with others.

静。心

我低下头看着河面
那是谁迷蒙的倒影？
我伸出手
让那明媚的月光洒在我的掌心上

温柔的风轻抚长发
那是荣耀你的象征
徐徐的春风让那花儿都向你起舞

我抬起头看那辽阔的星空
看不到尽头
诉说你的爱无止境
诉说你的恩典多如星

心跳的旋律是为谁弹奏
闪烁的眼睛叫我心醉
只有你懂得我跳跃的心情
我要守候
耐心的等待
那一天

Outing at Lady Bower with Po Po

Thank God for another day of 'relief'.

Woke up quite late around 11am plus plus ... but I've got time to 'shop' at CLC - the Christian bookshop, with Aunty Ruth. Then when the time we were waiting for Joven, we had our Tako yaki, Chicken yaki and Vege Yaki at the Japanese mobile take-away somewhere near to Uni of Sheffield. Yum ~ Yum ~
After a few 'balls', we had out lunch at Zing Vaa. We met a lot of sis n bro there, haha... what a small Sheffield!

After fullfiling our stomatch, we brought Yao Po Po and Aunty Ruth's mom-in-law for an outing at Lady Bower. Thank God for the lovely weather and 2 cute po po ^_^
Yao Po Po even sang in the car. I am quite tired, but when i asked Yao Po Po whether is she tired, she said she is happy and it makes her doesn't feel tired at all. She also said Aunty Ruth's laughter makes her happy! Haha ...May the spirit of joyfulness fill this land.
Hope we could have another trip for more Po Po and Gong Gong soon!

Stand by me - Shayne Ward

Nothing's impossible
Nothing's unreachable
When I am weary
You make me stronger
This love is beautiful
So unforgettable
I feel no winter cold
When we're together
When we're together

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

When day turns into night
I look into your eyes
I see my future now
All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away
And through the hardest days
I'll never question us
You are the reason
My only reason

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

I am blessed
To find what I need
In a world loosing hope
You're my only believe
You make things right
Everytime after time

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

Stand by me
No more darling I want you by my side
I want you here with me

Only God's everlasting love can fulfill these all, for He never forsake us. He is now and forever :)

李玖哲 - 想太多

不要想太多，是你的，神会将爱把你们紧紧地套在一起。

你们要先求他的国和他的义，这些东西都要加给你们了。所以，不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑；一天的难处一天当就够了。 ~ 马太6:32-34

公事‘母’办

今天，可爱的阿伯又光临华人超市。
同时，隔壁餐厅的厨师捧了一盒香喷喷的日式炸豆腐过来给我和Sam 吃，就蹲在那里吃了起来。
阿伯看了就说我蹲在那边看来很可怜。
我告诉阿伯，人看我可怜没关系，我心里满足喜乐就可以了。
阿伯还是不服气，直说看我这样子还喜乐？没有得坐，不是在数自己的钱，哪里会开心？叫我不要自欺欺人。

阿伯在说的时候，我心里就开始叹息了，叹息不是因为我真的不开心，而是我感叹阿伯这样做，他是在尝试告诉我不信神的人还是可以很开心，有钱有地位就可以开心了。这是因为我之前有尝试和他传福音。但是阿伯喜欢和我辩驳。话说回来，阿伯这样做其实是在安慰自己和自己说服自己自己是对的。但是，阿伯，如果你赢了，你认为你一直稳抓得立场依然是对的，但是你只赢了这场对话，神依然存在，依然爱你，依然等你悔改。另一方面，如果今天我站不稳，我会和阿伯一起跌倒了。我在心里一直对神说，父阿，他是在试探我对你的信心吗？

我不是否定不信主的朋友就一定不开心不会快乐。 我只是想清楚的解释，信主的朋友在数着自己的钱，当然也会开心；有身份地位的时候，一样会开心。而且，不只是开心，还有包含喜乐`满足和感恩。但是，如果遇到人生逆境的时候呢？不错，基督徒还是会和普通人一样会不开心，因为基督不是基督，乃是信基督的人。信基督什么？信耶稣基督是天父的儿子，他为我们的罪死在十字架上，他的宝血洗尽我们的罪，以无罪的代有罪，三天后复活。
话说回来，信主的朋友，在逆境的时候，不会彷徨和沮丧，依然信靠神，依然靠着神所赐的力量来度过人生的风风雨雨。因我们知道，天父会卷顾他爱的儿女。

哦，还有一样不可以不提。我和阿伯开玩笑说我老了，没人要，哈哈，阿伯说没人要的话，不嫌弃就跟在他后面，因为他需要有人和他做翻译， 阿伯不会讲英文。我在那里哈哈大笑， 他说我看来只是二十二或二十三岁。开心死我了。。老人家终于有得安慰了。哈哈。我是说我啦！

另外，意外的开心是，吃午饭的时候，老板挤进来我们员工吃午饭的地方。他看到我一个人在吃，问我要不要吃包子。嘻嘻，我有泡面。也不知道怎么样的，他站着说着说着，就坐下来和我谈起来了。而且还是主动的向我说他去教会的事情。感谢主，让我们有时间坐下来谈。虽然我不知道他有没有听进去我所说的，但是，我尽我所能传递所要说的了。希望他有听到，并会加于思考。

你們祈求、就給你們．尋找、就尋見．叩門、就給你們開門。因為凡祈求的、就得著．尋找的、就尋見．叩門的、就給他開門。」（马太7：7-8）

Rainbow 彩虹

身为一道彩虹 雨过了就该闪亮整片天空
让我深爱的你感到光荣
身为一道彩虹 尽全力也要还你一段笑容
够了我爱你不必人懂
不必人懂 只要不醒过来 这就不是梦
请拥抱我 请看着我 体温别留走
好多话想说 好多事要做
请天空给我 请时间给我 再多一点停留

亲爱的你我有感动 请牢记在心中
下一次下雨 你能看见的
那道彩虹 不再可能是我
只要你懂

为主的心，为主的爱，不必人懂。谢谢Laura 你的提醒。。。泪水再次夺眶而出，我们生命的绚丽，只要博得神的一个笑容就已经满足了。

本来可以很简单

冷风把手指头吹得冷冻，我将拳头收入了过长的袖子里。人来人往，一个个不熟悉的脸孔，一个个金发碧眼，好陌生。的确，这个世界还不就是那么的陌生。。。和冷酷。

如果不是发生这样的事情， 我想，我还是会很天真的处事待人，完全没有察觉旁人对我的评语。但是，神有神的美意。就还像那天那位弟兄所作的祷告里说，如果事情的发生并不是我们所想象的，求神让我们有一个平安的心，和一个谦卑的心去面对，和接受。我想，在面对和接受的当儿，我需要很多的勇气和踏实的信心来依靠神。依靠神的公义，依靠神的信实，依靠神的作为。同时， 这件事情也让我知道，我的一举一动见证着神的作为。当然，我们毕竟还是人，还是会犯罪，还是那么的脆弱。但是，靠着那加给我力量的，凡是都能做。我会努力的学习，很努力的用我一生去学习和熬炼。愿神怜悯我这渺小的信心和坚持。

不是很想一个个朋友或弟兄姐妹去分享，看见我的时候，希望你们也别问。因为我很希望这件事情很快的会过去。我深信神是公义的， 这一点我依然坚持，在某一天的那一天，在今天的这一天。。。我知道，有谁愿意谦卑的来到他面前认罪悔改，他必赦免他们。如果是我的错，愿神让我有一颗谦卑的心去悔改。如果，那是敌人要加害于我，愿神赦免他，用爱来感化他的刚硬的心， 因为他们所作的，他们不知道。我也明白到，我们所作的，无论事情发生到如何，我们还是必须去担当结果。因为我们必须为自己的言行举止去负责仁。但是，耶稣说“凡勞苦擔重擔的人、可以到我這裡來、我就使你們得安息。我心裡柔和謙卑、你們當負我的軛、學我的樣式、這樣、你們心裡就必得享安息。因為我的軛是容易的、我的擔子是輕省的。”- 馬太福音11：28-30

如果，有一天，在我打完胜仗的时候。我会告诉你事情的经过。。。为我祷告吧，让我有一颗防弹的心 ^_^ 以马内利。

除了感動,還是感動

昨天,工作得頭昏眼花.
整個社區中心只有我一個員工,懶得煮面,也沒什麼胃口.正在猶豫要不要吃午飯的時候,
有一天使打電話來,說會和另外一位天使過來和我一起吃午飯.頓時,真的很開心,很sweet.
第一次有朋自遠方來,和我一起享用午餐.
雖然我吃兩口又走上走下,很忙. 但是很開心,很感動.


剛才,有一位阿姨進來我的辦公室,和我談兩句.
說到港辭職的張先生還是很樂意的幫助他.
聽了,頓時也很感動.一邊笑, 一邊眼濕濕了.
阿姨用廣東話說了一句,'傻女!'
'傻女的心很靓,傻女有傻福.' 讓我更想哭了.
我想起了天國八福


耶稣看见这许多的人，就上了山，既已坐下，门徒到他跟前来，他就开口教训他们，说：

“虚心的人有福了！因为天国是他们的。
哀恸的人有福了！因为他们必得安慰。
温柔的人有福了！因为他们必承受地土。
饥渴慕义的人有福了！因为他们必得饱足。
怜恤人的人有福了！因为他们必蒙怜恤。
清心的人有福了！因为他们必得见　神。
使人和睦的人有福了！因为他们必称为　神的儿子。
为义受逼迫的人有福了！因为天国是他们的。

人若因我辱骂你们，逼迫你们，捏造各样坏话毁谤你们，你们就有福了！应当欢喜快乐！因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的；在你们以前的先知，人也是这样逼迫他们。


马太福音 5:1-12

贤妻的8个方面!

贤妻的8个方面!
一、聪明的妻子总是拿自己丈夫的长处与别的男人比，越比越幸福;愚蠢的妻子总是拿自己丈夫的短处与别的男人比，越比越失望。

二、聪明的妻子对丈夫的事业大力相助;愚蠢的妻子则让丈夫围在自己身边转。

三、聪明的妻子看准时机提醒丈夫勿疏忽了大事;愚蠢的妻子总是喋喋不休地挑剔丈夫的小毛病。

四、聪明的妻子总是在丈夫思想压力最小的时候说出自己的批评意见;愚蠢的妻子发现丈夫的错误当即训斥，搞得丈夫非常尴尬。

五、聪明的妻子在公共场合总赞美丈夫，愚蠢的妻子总在公共场合揭丈夫的短处。

六、聪明的妻子当丈夫不顺利或家庭经济拮据时，总是为他分忧解愁;愚蠢的妻子把丈夫的关系建立在金钱和地位上，稍不如意就骂“饭桶”，搞得丈夫抬不起头来。

七、聪明的妻子能够帮丈夫做一个好爸爸;愚蠢的妻子使丈夫成为惩罚孩子的代理人，破坏父子感情。

八、聪明的妻子总是让家庭保持清洁;愚蠢的妻子常使家里乱七八糟，让丈夫一见就皱眉。

『约拿的家』基督徒婚恋交友中心

无奈

我还可以说什么？
我也不想说什么了，该告一段落。
告诉自己，都已经过了， 人生本来就有很多遗憾和失落，
擦干眼泪，嘴角再次牵起来；站起来，走向人群，
如果一直沉沦这样的困境，哪怕不会站起来的一天，
就好像某个小说家说的，如果那伤口是一口井，那么我已经陷下那无底的深渊。
但是，不一样的是，我有耶稣；我有那叫我将劳苦重担交托予他的耶稣。
靠着他加给我的力量，我必定能够站起来。
只是，时间是最好的配药，因最好的良药，乃是耶稣基督。

Sunday Outing

9th March, Aunty Ruth brought 4 kids to Peak District.

General Election 2008

Who do not talk about this matter in Malaysia?

Last night a brother send me a link to a DAP MPs' speech at YouTube - Nga Kor Ming, surprisingly, I was impressed with his speech. I wonder where are the courages and passion coming from? Who has planted it in his heart to serve the people? After that, I found out he is actually a brother in Christ. It was more impressed me with that! A politician who knows how to fear God and get the power from the Almighty God, will have no fear in facing any barriers on earth. Pray that he will continue to seek for His face everyday and grow deeper and closer in Him, for we know that God is the source of everything and the creator of this universe.

It was a surprisingly change for Malaysia in this GE 2008, and I hope it would be a good change afterall. I pray that those opposition parties will have wisdom to do the right things and strength to continue fighting for justice to Malaysian. May God continue to grant you courages, protections and passion to serve the people in Malaysia.

God bless Malaysia :)

2 weeks with sista 14 Feb - 2 Mar 2008 in Europe

First day arrived in Sheffield was 14th February! We had a wonderful and funny 'valentine' dinner at Iguana Restaurant with David Prince, Joven and Cheeming. We were the only table with so many ppl and laughing aloud. The rest of the table is just 2 ppl the most and eating so elegantly anf quietly. We spoilt the atmosphere, I think the couples there would want to kill us if they could, hehe.

Then the next day we went to Friday fellowship and end up at the Sheffiel Coach Station to London Gatwick Airport, departed to Athens, Greece.



We planned for Santorini in Greece, but end up 6 days in Athens, due to the unbelievable' weather changed. It was snowing for 2 days and we heard it didn't snow for the past 6 years, even they had, but never this heavy before. All the flights canceled, so we had to back to the same hostel, accompanied by a American, whom we knew from the airport, supposed to be the same flight as us to Santorini.

Back to Sheffield, home sweet home!

Celebrating Cheeming's 26th birthday at student fellowship on Friday, as well as dinner at Aunty Ruth's hs on Saturday. Then Joven, Sista and I flied to Rome, Italy midnight.



Back from Rome.

Just arrived Sheffield, Aunty Ruth brought us to Bakewell, as there was a sunny day. We were so tired but very thankful. Then, sista spent a few day in Sheffield... Really thank God for having such a wonderful holiday with sista. God is so good. We had a very good time together and good sharing. He is an awesome God...indeed.

出口

同受苦`同钉十字架和同复活

前天和昨天，做出了一个属灵的交战。
一股说不出的悲伤和绞痛从心里发出来，占据了我的心情和思绪。
让我说不出的忧，说不出的难受。
我说不出为什么。
早上上班，一样的一天，只是少了话。
下了班， 很不想回家。可是却不知道还能往哪里去。。。
经过一个弟兄的家，看到熟悉的车，却没有勇气上去。我怕看到他们我会哇一声的哭了出来。
这样的心情， 怎么去带查经班？怎么有说服力呢?
我像一个打了败仗的小兔一样，退缩的将我的团队推给了另一组。
可是我都还没有去交战，我连反抗的勇气也没有。
哭了一次，又一次。泪水陪着我入睡。
凌晨一点钟。。。醒了过来。吃了一个弟兄买给我的苹果（是我托他买的，却没有付钱），上了个厕所。
圣灵点亮了我的心思和意念，我告诉自己， 不要再作出让自己后悔的事情，不要打败仗， 不要再亏欠神，不要再掉入魔鬼的圈套。打开圣经，读了要带查经的经文，感谢主，那是一个开启人心的一个经文。
是马可福音8：31-38， 说道体贴人心 却不体贴神心意的， 都是出于撒旦。仇敌就是要我们的心思和神的心思背道而驰。没有和基督一起受苦，同钉十字架，同复活的， 不配作他的门徒。
我感谢主，让我度过痛苦的一夜，让我有力量挣扎， 让我能够和基督一同受苦`同钉十字架和同复活。
打开查经网页，作了功课，直到凌晨三点多。

祂對我說：『我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力，是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。』」（林後十二：7-9）

Lovely Bro Joven's pig maw soup

Thank you brother for your sweet yet spicy pig maw soup. ^^

We are blessing to have such brother to prepare this pig maw soup since yesterday by washing the pig maw, for a few steps as he told me. It was complicated!!! I still have to learn form him. And then, he started to cook the soup since this afternoon at around 12pm, gosh... oh ya, until 6pm just now. He cooked the soup for 6 hours!!! Oh my goodness, it was the longest time in my record, I have to stated down in my Ruth's World Record Bookmark (which i misplaced ages ago, nvm).

I remember the time my mom cooked this kind of soup which was a few ages ago, which I couldn't remember it at all, maybe when my daddy still alive during CNY? :) God is so great, it made me recall the time when my daddy was with us during CNY.

天父，不管路有多么的崎岖，让我知道，这一切，只因为你 。。。让我含着微笑，走下去.
