02 November 保守你的心
一个小男孩脾气很不好，总是和同学争吵打架。 有一天，老师在公布栏上挂了一大块软木版，并给男孩五大盒彩色图钉，告诉他每当他发一次脾气就得钉一个图钉在木板上。
光是第一天早上，小男孩就钉下了二十多个图钉。花花绿绿的图钉在公布栏上格外刺眼。但慢慢的，老师注意到每天图增加的速度减缓了，小男孩开始压抑自己的脾气。老师对小男孩说只要他当天坚持不发脾气，就可以拔出一个图钉。 终于有一天小男孩兴高采烈的高速老师说自己已经没有图钉可以拔了。 老师夸奖他， 但也说：“可是你看，图钉虽然没了， 但它们留下了很多洞。你对别人发脾气，也同样在别人心里留下了伤口， 无论说多少次对不起也是没有用的。”
所以，你要保守你的心，胜过保守一切，因为一生的果效是由心发出。 （箴言 4：23）不要让自己的心受到污染，然后去伤害别人。

看了这篇文章，觉得好惭愧。猜想我的公布栏上已经没有位置可以钉图钉了。等有一天我把它们都拔下来，木板上的洞一定多的深的吓人...
愿天父怜悯所有受伤害和伤害别人的人
06 Juni Goodbye难道真的没有活下去的理由了吗？还是真的是一次意外？ 一个生命擦肩而过，我没有把握，现在又能为他祈祷些什么？ 惟有希望悲剧也会带来祝福。 心灵有时比生命还脆弱... 但只要还存活在世上，就把这个神赐予的生命作为活下去的理由吧。 04 Mai A prayerLORD, HIGH AND HOLY, MEEK AND LOWLY, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up that to be low is to be high that the broken heart is the healed heart that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit that the repenting soul is the victorious soul that to have nothing is to possess all that to BEAR THE CROSS IS TO WEAR THE CROWN, that to give is to receive that the valley is the place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter thy stars shine; Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley. --The Valley of Vision 21 April 一丝安慰 “我们不至消灭，是出于耶和华诸般的慈爱。是因他的怜悯不至断绝。每早晨，这都是新的。你的诚实极其广大。 我心里说，耶和华是我的分，因此，我要仰望他。凡等候耶和华，心里寻求他的，耶和华必施恩给他。 人仰望耶和华，静默等候他的救恩，这原是好的。人在幼年负轭，这原是好的...因为主必不永远丢弃人。 主虽使人忧愁，还要照他诸般的慈爱发怜悯。因他并不甘心使人受苦，使人忧愁.” --耶利米哀歌3章22-33节 这段话曾在我跌倒的时候鼓励我站起来，希望它能给受伤的朋友一点点安慰。 20 April peace.blessing 当接到好友的电话,听到她在电话那头的哭泣的时候,我才知道原来平静的生活,即使无味,也是一种祝福. 耶稣说：“我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的，不像世人所赐的；你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”--约翰福音14章27节  09 April Isn't It Strange? 真奇怪？
Isn't
it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount
when
you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go
shopping?
真奇怪？一張二十元正的鈔票在教會奉獻時是多麼大的面額，但在行街購物時卻是如此的細小？
Isn't
it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and
how
short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
真奇怪？兩小時在教會過就好長，但看一套好戲就好短？
Isn't
it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying,
but
you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
真奇怪？當禱告時要找一個字都好難，但與朋友傾談時卻口若懸河？
Isn't
it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of
the
Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of popular novel?
真奇怪？有人覺得讀一章聖經又難又悶，卻很容易地就看完百多頁的小說？
Isn't
it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or
games,
but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?
真奇怪？人人都想在演唱會或在遊戲時坐在前排，但他們無論如何都會在教會坐後排？
Isn't
it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3
weeks
before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust
it
for other events in the last minute?
真奇怪？我們要預先兩三個星期被通知教會的活動，才能安放在自己的時間表裏，但我們只需用兩三分鐘就安排好參加其他的活動？
Isn't
it strange how difficult it is to learn fact about God to share
it
with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and
repeat
gossip?
真奇怪？我們好困難從神裏學到真理並與人分享，卻好容就學到講閒話，甚至謠言滿天飛？
Isn't
it strange how we believe everything that magazines and
newspapers
say, but we question the words in the Bible?
真奇怪？我們相信在報紙雜誌中講的每件事，卻懷疑聖經的字眼？
Isn't
it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't
want
to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
真奇怪？人人都想上天堂，卻不願為進天堂而相信，或做或講任何東西？
Isn't
it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded
right
away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think
about
it twice before we share it with others?
真奇怪？我們常常將笑話從電郵裏傳來傳去，但當我們要將神的信息傳給別人時，卻要再三思量？ copied from somewhere =) 01 April 耶稣顾念我压 伤 的 芦 苇 ， 他 不 折 断 。 将 残 的 灯 火 ， 他 不 吹 灭 。 他 凭 真 实 将 公 理 传 开 。以赛亚书42章3节 我们也应像他,对需要的人施与怜悯. 31 März 承受永生在MEC (Christian Camp)里听香港铭恩堂梁永善牧师的讲道很有体会，想和朋友分享。
24 März Love could be like this以为自己已经走出了过去,但心却没有去祝福,然而充满了伤感和猜测. 我明白这一切的发生是天父的安排, 因为他的坚决是出人意料.我也知道我们必须要分开才能得神的祝福,各自成长. 他没有背叛,只是跟从了天父的带领. 但骄傲的心让我不能接受他的坚定,逃避让我自以为快乐... 5个月后，在conference的偶然遇到让我不知所措。我颤抖，我害怕，我问天父为什么安排他的出现。天父告诉我不要以为事情就这样结束，因为这样的结果不是美丽的。我思考，才发现自己没有真正放手，因为没有真心的祝福。他和我的一次认真地谈话，让我看到他的真诚和不舍得，但他告诉我当初的狠心是因为他知道他在疏远我与主耶稣的亲近。所以他愿意离开，让我能在天父的怀抱里很健康的成长，过得更幸福。我过去在他面前的埋怨和责怪，我的不平安，我远离神的痛苦，原来他不是没有看见，他只是无能为力，却在等待天父给他一次勇气和坚决的心。我羞愧，因为我和他分开的决定是出于自私，而他是出于神的爱。我之前对他的抵制，甚至有无故的怨恨让我觉得自己是这么的愚昧和狭窄，实在不配称作是天父的孩子。但天父却依然这样的爱我，给我再一次机会去彻底放手过去，忘记伤痛，一同紧靠主耶稣去面对将来的精彩。当他再次邀请我做他的朋友，我告诉我们已经是主耶稣里亲爱的弟兄姐妹了。这次，当我看到一对情侣站在会众中一同去赞美颈拜神的时候，我赞美神，因为终于学会了去真心的祝福他们 爱他们。 终于，我可以摆下过去，认真对待属于自己将来的幸福。好谢谢他，因为他的放手，我才有现在的幸福。爱，原来还可以是这样。为什么可以是这样的无私，快乐，幸福和美好，因为这个爱是来自一个伟大却充满慈爱的神，主耶稣基督。 “因我们还软弱的时候，基督就按所定的日期为罪人死了。 为义人死，是少有的；为仁人死，或者有敢作的；惟有基督在我们还做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章6-8节 很感谢天父也教导了我怎样去珍惜现在的幸福，好好去把祝福施予我爱的人，让他也能够成为天父的孩子。 28 Januar I Shall Not Lose HeartI just wanted to thank God for his encouragement and support when I was about to lose my heart. These days my work went a long way ahead of my soul, I am weary and lost. I know I was far away form my Lord, yet I couldnt go nearer. But Lord is faithful and merciful to me. These few days, He has been teaching me a lot and leting me know that He is always beside me. He said to me that ' The LORD WILL PROVIDE', so do not be anxious. He also said ' We are perplexed, but not in despair', 'Therefore we do not lose heart...For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.' Although I was troubled by many things around me, I know I shall have no fear. The Lord has his purpose and plan for me, and whatever happens, it is meant to be the best for me.
Livia, wait with patience... Trust in the Lord, for HE WILL PROVIDE. 19 Oktober a Great 21 BirthdayHey, cant believe am officially 21 now.

25 September I m backBack to the UK, everything seems so peaceful, has 2 adjust my mood and fit myself into this quiet atmosphere. Things are so familiar to me, but why i still regard myself a stranger in this place. I have been away for just three months, and I hav forgotten how to lead a life here. My heart refuse to stay in this quiet place, even though I try to convince it with all my wonderful memories here.
I dont belong to here, and I miss my parents and my life back home... Now I has to be strong and keep walking.
20 September 又要走了又要离开了，好不舍得哦。不舍得爸爸妈妈，也不舍得这里好多好吃的，还有我的朋友们...... 我知道这三个月能让我休息的这么舒服，是因为回去要面临的是又一轮艰巨的考验。 我害怕了... 19 September 天父赐给孩子的朋友星期天与好友见了回英国前的最后一面，中午和毓秀、文慧吃饭，下午又去见小学的老朋友林丽、李莹、林婷和王冲。这次见面让我深深感觉到幸福和快乐，这一点也不夸张，有这种感觉是因为我感受到了天父对孩子的爱，他赐给了我这么多这么好的朋友陪伴在我的身边，伴我一同成长。有这些好朋友，孩子感到自己是被祝福的。我要懂得去珍惜这份恩典，也要让我的朋友因为我受到神的祝福。我感谢我的神，也谢谢我的朋友们一直陪伴着我。愿神与他们同在，赐福与他们......
p.s. 真可惜，在临走前没有机会见完我所有的朋友。想念他们 :P 10 August 寻求爱‘我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识，而且有全备的信，叫我能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己身叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。’（歌林多前书13：2-3） 我好害怕，因为我心中没有爱... 我就连身边最亲的爸爸妈妈，都不懂的去爱。爸爸妈妈为我付出了多少，牺牲了多少。从小到大我从来没有被亏待过，我得到的总是家里最好的东西。可是我以前一直认为，爸妈养育我，给我最好的，把我当作掌上明珠是理所当然。他们在我身上花再多的钱和心血都是应该的，因为我是他们的孩子。但又反过来想，他们得到我的孝顺，我的关心和爱护也是应该的，因为他们是我的父母。可是我到这么大了，虽然懂得孝顺二字，却怎么也做不出来，就算做到了，也不是发自内心的。为什么我就没有能力去爱他们呢？不但不爱他们，我还会怨恨他们待我不周到，令他们伤透了心。我很累，就问天父，为什么我要爱得这么辛苦这么不自然？天父告诉我，因为我心里没有爱。是啊，我没有爱，要不然我就不用逼着自己去爱了。
我对朋友何尝不这样呢？我不会去亲身感受朋友的痛苦，也不懂的为他们的快乐而高兴。我总是强调自我，有时还会因为自己的利益去嫉妒和怨恨他们。我没有用心爱我的朋友，不懂得祝福他们。这是为什么呀？为什么得到一颗有爱的心，对我来说这么难？
天父告诉我，我爱这个世界以及世界里虚浮的荣耀比爱神还要多，我生活在黑暗与罪恶当中。这我心里是明白的，可是我心中虽向往光明和良善，我却偏偏要呆在黑暗里不走。因为我本是肉体，就如保罗所说“我所愿意的，我并不做；我所恨恶的，我倒去做。”
我连为自己流血流泪，赐给我无限恩典的主都不去爱，又怎么会去爱人呢？我连自己的父母都不去爱，怎么能像主耶稣一样去爱世上的每一人，甚至是自己的敌人呢？
‘我们应当彼此相爱，因为爱世从神来的。凡有爱心的，都是由神而生，并且认识神。没有爱心的，就不认识神，因为神就是爱’-- 如此看来我还没有真正认识神......
—————‘如今常存的有信，有望，有爱；这三样，其中最大的是爱。’———
21 Juni God is my shepherdI thank God for His mercy and love. I was on trail yet I m joyful because I know that Father was with me. Just as it says in the Bible " Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for your rod and your staff they comfort me.'
Over the three-week exam period I was ever so close to my Lord. He spoke to me everyday and gave me strength to finish my exams. This was my first exam experience in the uni, and they were tough. The night before my most scary paper, I prey very hard, I told Lord that I am weak and faithfuless, may He grant me strength and wisdom, that everything I do, I do it with all my heart, not for the men but for the Lord. After the prayer I read Philippians, there i s a verse saying that " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Phili4:6-7). I was greatly encouraged, and I know that God is speaking to me.
Thank Him, since I know that without him, I myself wont have the strength to go through the trial. And From this I learnt that how to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, in all my ways acknowledge him and he will make my paths straight...
Thanks be to the Lord.
26 Dezember empty box in ChristmasI was once told a story about an old man buying a present for his grandson on for christmas. He bought a toy train but the counter in the shop forgot to put the toy train in the box. So the old man brought an empty box without the toy home. For many people, Christmas is just like an empty box, is all about the wrappings and presents, but without the insight meaning. How sad is this when we are only thinking of what we ll get for prensents on Christmas, or what we should eat for Christmas. Christmas should be very meaningful and truly joyful, because the first Christmas remarked the birth of Jesus Christ, our saviour. We should be thankful and really enjoy Christmas in rememberance of the birth of our Lord Christ Jesus. 12 November WisdomLast night, we are talking about Wisdom. I have been aksed that do I think that I have wisdom or not. Well.... pretty tough question, but I did say no. Actually, what is wisdom? appearently it is not cleverness or intelligence....There are two kinds of wisdom, one is earthly wisdom and the other is heavenly wisdom. The first one is gained from experience and knowledge and the latter is obtained not by the work of yourself but by asking through Faith. And Wisdom will only be granted to those who are humble...... We need to learn how to be humble and pursuing wisdom from above not from below.
