March 13 Be strongLife is not perfect, because we are living in an incomplete world, even though that, but we can still have a bright and glorious life, like a flower.
 Lord of all circumstances, I don't see much, but I believe. When life doesn't go the way I want, when doubts boil within me, when I don't feel like believing, still I believe... not because I am strong, but because You are strong. Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. (Ephesians 6:10) February 23 Trusting in the LordTrusting in the Lord is not a feeling, trust is a decision, it is coming to God and saying: "Lord, I don't see how you are going to guide me, lead me... but I CHOOSE to believe that you are going to. I am going to look to you for guidance. You are more concerned about this problem than I am, so, I have to decided to trust You." 《因著信》 憑信，他離別吾珥；因信，全然奉上愛子； 憑信，還有人全力抓住天使，贏到祝福、換了名字... 憑信，他行近紅海；因信，連潮浪也分開； 憑信，曾有人被困於獅子坑內，仍敬拜上帝，發誓至死不改！ 在某天他下決心圍繞在城外，憑信放聲呼喊，城牆便倒塌下來； 又有先知被擄他方常在心裡靜待，仍確信上帝榮耀會回來！ 憑信，他們懷著憑據；因信，同尋著了應許； 憑信，能夠發現在世間只是寄居，朝更美家鄉走回去！ Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1) FriendshipIf you want to understand someone, you need to build up a friendship with him/her, how to do it? Of course, it depends on different people, but... at least you need to spend time to him/her, share to each other, let him/her know yourself, listen to his/her sharing, keep in touch...etc. When you know him/her more, sometime, you can understand more his/her thinking or mindset, and what things he/she like or he/she doesn't like. It's same with our relationship with our Heavenly Father, do I spend time to Him? Do I share to Him? Do I listen to Him? Do I understand Him? If not, how can I say I know this is from God, and this is God's will or this is God's plan... etc. We need to spend time to Him, build up a good and close relationship with Him, otherwise it's hard to understand Him. Our Heavenly Father is our God, our Lord, and also our Best Friend in our life. January 22 Crazy like a merchant..."The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)
If I know one guys, who sell out all his things to buy a pearl, I must think he is crazy ~ !! Because I don't think that pearl is worth it. But, bible said, the kingdom of heaven is like this.
I don't think I can do that, but it doesn't mean I don't need to do that. Sometime, I am willing to sacrifice a lot for something I like, but I don't want to give a little bit for God... but He did sacrifice His life for us, just because He love us, even though we are not worth it. What should I do to respone His love?
Too many things win my heart today... Lord, please set me free and help me to focus on the Kingdom of heaven, that is the most important thing in my life.
December 07 Blue skyLast week, I went to school in the morning, on the way, I was thinking many things and a bit nervous... when I rised up my head, I saw the blue sky... I like the blue sky, but I am not always see it, many high buildings in Hong Kong, and the weather in Hong Kong is not good all the time, always cloudy. When I saw it, my feeling was good, and more relax ~ !! God is so good, His creation and His world is good also ~ !!
Think positive and take it easy... be strong, be brave and be happy! We will overcome and recover soon!  October 30 Halloween and Noah WinAs a Christian, we should not celebrate Halloween, why? You can search it in internet, and you will find more than hundred articles to explain it, so, I dont want to explain in here. What I want to share? If we dont join Halloween, it's good, but still passive. Can we do something it's more active and fight with this world? Yes, we can. 1. Pray pray pray 2. Talk to you friend what is Halloween, let them know the true 3. Join "Noah Win", it's an activity organized by "Media Evangelism", details as below: Date: 31/10/2008 Time: 7pm until finish Route: Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui Content: Parade, song and dance Objective: Bringing love, hope and peace to our community. Fight with the darkness world and devil. Website: http://www.media.org.hk/noahwin2008/index.asp?pg=7 We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Hey, get up, fight with this world together. I need a partner...  October 28 Joyful lifeLast week, I attended a lecture course related to "Emotion and Devotion", Pastor Mok was the speaker, he did share a good lesson to me. Thanks God. If we have a positive emotion, it will help us to have a more stable relationship with God. 10 points would like to share to you all, how to live a joyful life: 1. Thanks God for His Grace all the time. Focus on the things that "we own" rather the things that "we need". 2. Forced to forget our unhappy things. Actually, it's our memories and fact, we cant forget it, but we can forget the "painful feeling", so, when we share our unhappy things, we dont feel pain anymore. How to do it? a) let time wash it away; b) let it go; c) pray for it, may God give you strength to let it go; d) focus to other new things. 3. Balance lifestyle. Balance food, exercise and rest. 4. Live out Christ. Many Christians, they have a life, but they dont have "life force". 5. Rejoice in the Lord alway. 6. Take everything easy, "the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away". 7. Reward yourself in sometime. 8. Forgive other people. If you angry with other, that's mean you are punish yourself. 9. Think positive. 10. Enjoy your work. I have a happy eyes, and need a happy life too ~ !! Hope that I can live out a "Joyful life", you too! Changing...We are changing and living in a changing world... Sometime, "changing" is good, when we change become more like Jesus Christ, that should be good. But sometime, it's not good... People are easy to change and easy to forget everything... it's a horrible thing... I am afraid to think about this... and it will make me feel guilty... I am sorry... Today, I said I have a passion and want to serve God, maybe after few months, I will cool down and forget my promise to God, dont rely on me, dont rely on others, because we are faithless... and easy to fall down. Please... rely on our God, because He is the only one who never change in this world, and He is never fall down, He is our faithful God. You will experience Him when you try to rely on Him. October 18 Brothers and sistersI am so glad to have brothers and sisters like you all... ten years... we grew up together, cried together, learned together... She always say "get together" is preparing "to separate"... but we will get together again.
I know that I am not perfect, think negative, easy to complain... I am sorry... Thanks for all your love... I am unworthy... Thanks for being with me when I am weak! I do like you all.      October 12 Calling & AmbitionI went to a revival camp last week, and got some good experience, God through the speaker and the quiet time to remind me many things again. The speaker asked us a question? "Imagine that, in 10 years later, a normal working day 10am, what will you do and where will you be?" He believe that, we became a Christian and still alive, God should have a plan in our life, someone can hear a clear and strong message from God, we call this "calling", but not everyone hear a clear and strong calling from God now, is that mean we have nothing to do and just waiting from God? No... every Christian should have our ambition or aspiration before we hear the calling from God. "For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth." (Acts 13:47), this is a calling from God to Paul. "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in it's blessings." (Corinthians 9:22-23), this is Paul's ambition. Before I hear a calling from God, do I have any ambition or aspiration to serve God in my life? I like this song... 「Here I am Lord」 I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. http://video.xanga.com/joeycyy/c3224893862/video.htmlAll who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have born my peoples pain. I have wept for love of them, They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them, Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, My hand will save Finest bread I will provide, Till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. October 02 Living with GodIf I can't be a "real christian", then... I will be a "mediocre christian"... stand in a crossroad, always easy to find an excuses, and tell God, I can't do this, I can't do that... please, don't ask me anymore... and... I want this, I want that, please, don't ask me to give up all this kind of things... How come I am so selfish? I dont like this... some peoples, they are strong, they can overcome many difficulties, stand firm and willing to encourage other peoples, share gosple, like Paul and disciples... why? Because they believe Jesus Christ, they have power and energy from God... some peoples, they are weak, easy to fall down, always think negative, living with sins, like me... why? I also believe Jesus Christ, but why we are so different? We believe the same God, but the power from God are so different... what is the problem? I am weak and easy to fall down... I dislike that... I want to be strong and like Paul. How can I do this? I know that, I need to build up a long term and good and close and deep relationship with God, I can keep it as long and willing to let God guides my life... this is the foundation. How can I do it? Umum... really difficult ~ !! But its doesn't mean impossible... Jesus said: "I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit, apart from me, you can do nothing." (John 15:5) I need to living with God first, that is the most important thing, if I dont have a good relationship with Him, apart from Him, I can do nothing... September 01 Son of peaceI like this song so much! Prayer of St. Francis Make me a channel of Your peace; where there is hatred let me bring Your love; where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord; and where there's doubt, true faith is You. Make me a channel of Your peace; where there's despair in life let me bring hope; where there is darkness, only light; and where there's sadness, ever joy. O Lord, grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of Your peace; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving to all men that we receive; and in dying that we're born to eternal life. I am easy to seek others love me, console me, understand me... many needs in my inside, but God already filled it. And He opened my eyes, let me knew that many people have many needs in their life, but unlucky, they may not know who is the God, the only Saviour in their life. Praying become a Son of peace in this world, bringing hope to others... "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:2     
August 06 Middle East...I attended a meeting last Sunday, a speaker who is serving in Middle East ministry and shared his experience to us... I knew many this kind of things from newspaper before, but when I heard the speaker sharing and saw the photos, the feeling was so different. August 01 Let me soar...I remember that one time when I was on board and during voyage, I can't saw any lands, islands or ships in 2 days, but I saw a bird, I was so surprised, how come the bird can flew this long long way and didn't get tired? A chinese christian songs was coming up in my mind, "Let met soar" the lyric says: "let me soar, even though it will break the wings, but don't stay in the low land, fly to the place that you dont know is better than an ordinary life..."  I also want to say: "Here I am, send me please, send me to the place that I don't know, share the gospel to the people who don't believe You, I just want to serve You and obey You..." But another sound in my inner side is come up and say: "No, I can't do that, I just want to have a stable life, marry with a good husband and create my own family! Please, don't ask me to do it, it's really hard for me, I am powerless and faithless..." What God says? He said: "I give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and youth man stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." So... what's next? July 19 I am back! ~ Doulos life Part 2 We worked in a kids program during the sabbath week.  Sometime, we had some programs on board for the people who visited the ship. This time, we had a drawing program.  This Doulos logo was drawn by me, haha!  We went to a village and had a over night experience, we prepared some programs in there.  This was our dinner in the village, so nice!  We had worship time with the people in there also.  I like this girl, God through her to remind me again... what is love... and what is selfish...  My shift member and the volunteer, we worked in galley and had a good sharing.  We had fellowship time also, to share our life and our experience in here.  I joined a prison ministry, I was so happy that I had this chance, it's a really good experience for me.  I learned many things from this 2 guys, they encouraged me so so much, and shared their experience to me.  The first time I worked in foodstore, also my last time, haha, this time, I worked at there during voyage, i threw out again...  All of my shift member, we worked together in the past 2 month, I treasure the time being with them.  My Malaysia friend, I like her so much, we had many deeply sharing. We prayed together and encouraged each other.  My cabin mates, we lived together in the past month ~ !!  Steppers... the last night we went out before we off the ship, we had a farewell dinner... I miss them so much! I had a really good experience in Doulos, I learned a lot of things and had a lot of time to reflect, it's really good for me. Thanks God, gave me this chance to join Doulos and met the people in there. July 08 I am back! ~ Doulos life Part 1Thanks for pray for me, I am back! I got a really good experience in Doulos, I gained a lot of things, and experiencing God all the time! Thanks God! I want to share my Doulos life to all of you ~ !! Hope you enjoy !!  This is Doulos, not really big, around 350 peoples are living in there now!  The first time I went out for the e-day program, I went to an open area and had some programs in there. It was my first time using English to share my testimony, good experience! Some of the girls prepared a thank you card to me! Thanks! I was so happy! >3<  The students I met in Papau New Guinea, we had a good sharing time!  Ship during voyage... I got seasick! And threw out... er...  A local church in Vanuata, it's look like a container, but the brother and sister in there is soooo nice, especially when they sang a Christian songs, so touching me!  I also had a good time with the children in there, we played and sang Christian songs together, I enjoyed the time with them!  Official opening in Fiji, we wore our national costume.  One of the stepper his birthday, we celebrated together!  I joined an university program and had a deeply sharing with the girls, we prayed and encouraged each other!  Many days, I enjoyed the sunrise by the quayside and had my personal devotion time! So good! (... to be continue) March 29 還有一星期...不經不覺, 距離我上船的日子只餘下一星期, 感謝神在這一段日子的帶領, 也很感謝弟兄姊妹們的代禱、關心及奉獻支持, 讓我更感到這個短宣行程不是自己一人參加, 乃是有一班弟兄姊妹在我的背後為我守望、支持! 很感謝神, 賜我有一班很好的同路人! :) 在此, 分享一下我的近況, 前陣子教會的工作有點忙碌, 但過了上星期的澳門短宣後, 總算鬆一口氣, 這次澳門短宣, 是我第一次帶隊, 當中真的有很多得著和反醒, 也有很多仍要學習的地方, 感謝神讓我有機會參與其中。家庭方面, 仍在尋找合適的新居, 希望能在我上船後, 可以找到合適的居所並一切順利。短宣行程方面, 機票、簽証、保險、注射預防針等等已辦好, 一切也很順利, 感謝主呢! 旅費方面, 也收到弟兄姊妹的奉獻, 真的很多謝你們, 讓我感到在神家裡弟兄姊妹的彼此支持, 旅費已足夠, 感謝主, 讓我一步一步學習信心的功課, 藉此鍛煉我的信心, 神的供應總是足夠的! 餘下的, 就是需要收拾心情預備了, 由於時間不多, 但還有很多事務要處理 (教會工作、搬家物品收拾、短宣行裝預備等), 求主幫助我能有心有力去處理這一切的事務, 更求主賜我盡心為短宣作好準備, 在靈性上更是。 下星期一在OM的月禱會中, 將會有差遣禮, 詳情如下, 在此也邀請弟兄姊妹的參加, 為我守望、禱告: 日期: 2008年3月31日 差遣禮後, 我將會於4月1日起停薪留職, 並於6月中回來復職。 盼弟兄姊妹能繼續為我守望禱告 March 03 伸冤面對不公義的事情、無理的要求、攻擊，真的讓我很生氣！心裡面總覺得冤屈，有誰可以為這些不公義的事情站出來，替我們伸冤？ 羅馬書12:14-21 逼迫你們的、要給他們祝福．只要祝福、不可咒詛。與喜樂的人要同樂．與哀哭的人要同哭。要彼此同心．不要志氣高大、倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自以為聰明。不要以惡報惡、眾人以為美的事、要留心去作。若是能行、總要盡力與眾人和睦。親愛的弟兄、不要自己伸冤、寧可讓步、聽憑主怒．因為經上記著、『主說、伸冤在我．我必報應。』所以『你的仇敵若餓了、就給他喫．若渴了、就給他喝．因為你這樣行、就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。』你不可為惡所勝、反要以善勝惡。 這段經文看過很多次，以前看的時候，並沒有多大的感覺，現在看起來，心裡卻是很激動！我知道與主耶穌及使徒們相比，我們現在所遇到的冤屈算不得甚麼，但也足以另我淚流滿面、哭泣禱告，然而，主卻給了我一個很大的應許！因為主說：「伸冤在我、我必報應。」 January 22 婉怡婉 (形容詞)
意思: 溫柔和順、美好
1. 和順的。如：「溫柔婉約」。左傳˙昭公二十六年：「姑慈而從，婦聽而婉。」杜預˙注：「婉，順也。」
2. 美好的。詩經˙曹風˙候人：「婉兮孌兮，季女斯飢。」晉˙陸機˙贈紀士詩：「修姱協姝麗，華顏婉如玉。」
怡 (形容詞)
意思: 喜悅、快樂
1. 和悅的。玉篇˙心部：「怡，悅也，樂也。」如：「心曠神怡」。國語˙晉語九：「狗之事大矣，而主之色不怡，何也？」禮記˙內則：「父母有過，下氣怡色，柔聲以諫。」
2. 快樂的。國語˙周語下：「晉國有憂，未嘗不戚；有慶，未嘗不怡。」楚辭˙屈原˙九章˙哀郢：「心不怡之長久兮，憂與愁其相接。」
我父母並沒有很深思熟慮的改我這名字, 只是很簡單的, 隨口便改了, 但我很喜歡這名字, 它給了我很好的提醒, 也正正適合我這種人! 現在的我, 距離「婉怡」好像還有很遠的路! 但我相信我能改善!
請大家以後改口叫我婉怡! 多點提醒我做個與自己名字相稱的人...
January 15 脆弱、剛強人的生命很脆弱，健康、生命，很容易失去... 消失於世上... 意志更是，今天的剛強，不等如明天的剛強，即使如何磨練、鞏固，也可以於一剎那間崩潰、變得遍體鱗傷... 我是一個意志薄弱的人... 很容易放棄... 很容易失去方向、目標... 究竟... 今天的我在做甚麼？ 然而，我所經歷的一切，與基督所經歷的相比，又算得上甚麼？原來，在基督裡，軟弱也可變剛強，今天的剛強，不等如明天的剛強... 但當明天，願意再依靠基督，便能再次剛強起來！ 路是難走，但比起祢的十架路，我今天算甚麼？來！起身再走過... 凝望著十架的冠冕，仰望祢渡過每天，祢體恤我的軟弱，明白我親身處境，無論遇著困苦憂愁，祢亦會在我身邊，祢興起我的生命，我今得到信心，面對挑戰。 |
