Nourish your mind

Read my devotion this morning and wanted to share:

We eat healthily to keep our body healthy.

But we often either starve or take in garbage for our minds.

The mulnutrition fo the mind is real common these days, for me, it's more like to rush to get things done. We rellegate intellectual health to the back burner. We don't take time to feed our minds because our to-do lists are too long.

God complained to Hosea that their people were feeding on wind (nothing at all). Are we doing the same?

Give me your heart

What wonderful jazzy arrangement by my brother.

God in CX

While i'm still trying hard to compile my sharings for the Hunan Missionary trip, i wanted to share a few things about being a christian in Cathay.

 

Did i ever mentioned attending the christian fellowship and cell group in CX? We had cell group with a bit of bible study as well as sharing and praying every other thursday. Workship on the first week of month and witness sharing on the third week of the month.

baptism on easter

Attended the Baptism of a fellowshipmate yesterday.

Although you might say it's usually a rather monotonous and boring "procedures" in a baptism, i felt joyful every time i attend one.

I especially enjoy the part of the person to be baptized sharing their stories.
There are always a number of elderly people being baptized, and their sharing are typically very simple. Someone will ask them some questions such as "How are you feeling today?" or "You now have peace in your mind, don't you?"

They do not have beautiful words or great speech, yet, their simple answers and sharing usually touch me most.

They have a simple heart towards god, hoping to read his words, pray to him as much as they can. They are always the best praying warriors!

I am sure Children and Elderly are the most blessed in front of Jesus!
Although i am not longer a kid and no yet an elderly, i am learning to be like them:
1. To have a simple and loving heart towards god
2. To leave all worries unto God
3. Loving to learn his words
4. Praying at all time!

Have a joyful easter everyone!

God is listening

I prayed hard and clear:

God, please stop those pager calls at night, so that i can sleep till morning

I didn't receive one single call on thursday and friday night! God is good, all the time!! Incredible ne!

我的好處不在你以外

Wanted to share with you my devotion for today:

哭有時，笑有時；哀慟有時，跳舞有時（傳道書  3 章 4  節）

While i was looking back at my year of 2006, there is nothing other than Thankfulness to God. Although i mainly remembered the happy times i had, i still recalled some dark moments, when i cry, for myself, and people around me.

God is good, all the time!

Read a very nice artible:

盛夏與秋光，看到的生命都是美景，只是很不一樣；特別是當我經歷過人生的得失起伏，更體會到所羅門「凡事都有定期」這句話的背後，並不是消極悲觀宿命無解，而是上帝的應許：在生命的起承轉合裡，上帝皆已有安排，四季更迭、花開花落的「定時」，有個前提是：「神造萬物、各按其時成為美好」，我們，每一個人、每一個生命的段落，也都在這「美好」裡，這是讓人安慰並且安心的──即使，你曾哭過長夜，而上帝也在那長夜的燈火闌珊處等你。

萬物都有定時，意思是告訴我們，上帝永遠都在，祂掌管一切已發生的與未發生的；所以，只管這樣相信：「我的好處不在你以外」（詩篇 16 篇 2  節）；只管這樣相信：「上帝會為我們在百般的試煉中開一條出路」（歌林多前書 10 章 13  節後）；萬事都有定期，這是上帝的信實，也是祂的帶領──在一個祂應許的節奏裡，在一個祂萬全的計畫裡，就安息、享受、與神共度的歲歲年年吧 ！

敬聽，受教耶和華的話語

I have been searching for a nice online devotion sites for a while, recently, encounter a nice one and was so touched by the words.

http://blog.chinatimes.com/prayer/

Here's one of the passage this week:

主題：敬聽，受教耶和華的話語

 

經文：撒母耳回答說：「請說，僕人敬聽」（撒母耳記上 3 章  10  節）

 

默想：撒母耳夜半被一個聲音叫醒，他以為是身旁的以利，到了第三次才知道不是以利而是耶和華，第四次再聽到，撒母耳的反應很簡單：「請說，我敬聽」；那是深夜。

第四天 [籃球比賽!]

今天是在寧鄉最後一天,心裏只想爭取機會跟學生多了解一點!早上是棈彩的籃球比賽,哈哈!在學生的迫駛下,我也只好充當紙版球員啦!

想不到學生們非常認真,我更不敢拖累大家,幸運地也進了2球,算是對得起他們啦!但在比賽當中最開心是跟自己那隊的學生認識多了!有些平常比較靜和酷的男生也熱情起來,讓我感到他們更加接受我!我相信很多時候真的要投其所好才能得到他們的信任和接受,從而跟他們展開對話o

看我們那隊!一看便知道球技高超啦!

第三天[ 落鄉:快要受不住了! ]

今天最主要的是要探望學生的家,百多人分成8組,我們那組會到3個學生的裏作客o記得2年前坐車子到他們的家"dun"到頭都暈,今年好好多,路也平了o

司機哥哥也十分貼心,在"dun"到暈之前都會先看看同學的情況(由於有些同學不習慣坐車,嘔左幾次!)
在長長的車程中,很高興能認識到高一的小男生譚韜,第一次來到營會的他很樂天,也特別喜歡唱歌!我、籫紅和他一路上都在唱歌o原來快樂真的可以很簡單,不需要有冷氣,不需要在環境漂亮的Cafe!


探望3家人,其中籫紅的家3年前到過,看到現在改善不少,十分開心!但後來去到沙沙的家,心up的感覺再次擁出o一間什麼也沒有的泥屋,就在糞池旁邊o還好沙沙現在暫住在叔叔的家,要不然真的很難想像她怎麼能專心溫習!
