| tonight, for the first time, i drove stick shift on the road 
| | |
| Sorry, i'm not talking about the prez... to me, prop 8 mattered more. To me, that's what makes the day historical. Finally something goes right in america.
But the war will not be over, and the Truth will yet to completely and truly claim victory, until that day comes. Until then,
"...Be clear minded and self-controlled... Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:7-8
I wish, hope, pray that people including myself will follow the way of love better every day. Love, like Him who died for me while i didn't care or know? Love, for those who are trying to eliminate the One who loves from the country? That's where love is most needed, He says.
Am i a coward, posting here instead of fb, fearing voicing out among friends who may have voted no, or have wanted to?...
sigh.

| 今天﹐你把屋子打掃得特別的整齊
老師說有客人呢
空空的庭院﹐啃著葉子的一雙小兔躲在角落
除了我們的腳步聲﹐好靜
你說﹕爸媽在內蒙打工﹐要春節才回家 (我想起了二月的大風雪)
你說﹕兔子養大後賣錢﹐用來買東西吃。 每隻值二十多塊。
你說﹕妹妹染了病﹐不能上學 (我望著唯一的水井﹐壞了)
不是沒見過貧窮﹐卻是第一次看見十歲的小孩有著如此憂傷、孤獨無助的眼神
我們更靜了
我別過頭去。 千千萬萬的留守兒童﹐我又可以做什麼﹖
阿姨掏出了幾百塊﹕給妹妹看病吧﹐剩下的買東西吃。
拍照時﹐妹妹露出了淺淺的微笑
我轉過頭來
你始終沒有笑
One at a time.
Perhaps this was all the Jesus we could give to stay behind children.

| We all need a passion to fulfill some sort of special calling; that's why we're each made uniquely. Passion comes from the Greek word for pain or suffering. (That gives me a new meaning for Passion of the Christ.)
What is my passion? What am i willing to suffer for?
In Jonah's days, suffering may mean losing (or risking) comfort, reputation, or life. To many nowadays, it could simply mean losing sleep, inconvenience, less play time...?! (i still hope i'm not settling for this) Please continue to remind me that waking up "early" for Sunday service, for worshipping the God that created the world yet died for me, is not a suffering!!
Priorities, priorities. Get the small things right before attempting the bigger challenges...
Only if i would always remember and appreciate that the guidelines that God left for us are for our good, not harm. The authority to say and do the right thing comes from God, not myself.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11

| 認命了。
營中竟然有三批人說我像他們認識的某某人。不計今次﹐自從來到美國﹐別人說和我相似的人最少有五個。向好處想﹐樣子平凡容易有親切感吧。J常說聽我談電話的聲音語調就知道我在跟誰說話。向甚麼樣的人﹐我就作甚麼樣的人... 哈哈。
今次也認識了一位女孩﹐跟我一個大學同學真的好像﹐五官、笑聲、字體也有九成相似。可能因為這樣的親切感 (而且發現了幾個跟我差不多﹐顛顛地的人)﹐玩得好開心~ 不過我認人很多時是靠association﹐ 例如ccm/sd版的A、V、G、ML、CP﹐ 今次營中亦有類似G、N、和R/G混合體。話雖如此﹐據說我常常亂來的
還有﹐謝謝這個星期學到的。原來是真的﹐越願意分享自己所想﹐便越明白自己﹐也越讓自己被人鼓勵。謝謝H說的故事。今年認識到不少新朋友﹐擴張了境界啊 
昨晚聽到大家信主後心境上的改變﹐很感恩﹐因為我們的主是能夠改變人心的神。希望大家一同努力﹐在信心行為上繼續成長。常常記起多年前一個音樂workshop中學到的﹕鼓手也不能永遠只懂打一個鼓花啊。
