愛戀 ‧ 情曲 ‧ 神の語

The prophet is full of the love of Christ, functioned in genuine
prophetic gifts and has, thus, greatly edified a lot of people and many
churches, as he can also teach. His character was Christlike, meek and
lowly in heart, full of the fruit of the Spirit. The ministry wasn't
big, but well established, and the ministry team ministered here and
there faithfully.
In comparison, the evangelist was much, much well-known than the
prophet. His ministry is international, has TV broadcast, and many
other offshoots of the ministry facets around the world. His name is
known throughout most Christendom, seen on TV, heard on radio, read on
literature, talked among both Christians and non-Christians. The nature
of his evangelistic functions is much more spectacular than that of the
prophet's (but not more supernatural). However, the evangelist was much
less Christlike than the prophet. Both his life and ministry had more
dark streaks than the prophets, and he has caused droves of people to
stumble in their faith as well.
The question is, which of them is more spiritual and exhibit more light
of Christ? The answer, as shown in the vision, is that even though the
evangelist is much more popular on this earth, the truth is the prophet
is much well-known in the Spirit Realm, and walks much closer to the
Lord because he is more like Jesus in many ways. The most significant
and obvious determinant was that he had much more genuine love.
In the eyes of many Christians, it seems that the evangelist is much
greater, however, in the Spiritual World and after both of them will
have departed from this life, many will be shocked to realize that the
opposite is, in fact, true: the evangelist has much more to learn from
the prophet.
This is the message of the vision of the night (Oct. 11, 2008), and what the Spirit of
God reveals will always be confirmed and backed up by the Word of God
and the love of Christ.
"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love" (1 John 4:8)

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
(New King James Version)
詩篇91
1 住 在 至 高 者 隱 密 處 的 ， 必 住 在 全 能 者 的 蔭 下 。
2 我 要 論 到 耶 和 華 說 ： 他 是 我 的 避 難 所 ， 是 我 的 山 寨 ， 是 我 的 神 ， 是 我 所 倚 靠 的 。
3 他 必 救 你 脫 離 捕 鳥 人 的 網 羅 和 毒 害 的 瘟 疫 。
4 他 必 用 自 己 的 翎 毛 遮 蔽 你 ； 你 要 投 靠 在 他 的 翅 膀 底 下 ； 他 的 誠 實 是 大 小 的 盾 牌 。
5 你 必 不 怕 黑 夜 的 驚 駭 ， 或 是 白 日 飛 的 箭 ，
6 也 不 怕 黑 夜 行 的 瘟 疫 ， 或 是 午 間 滅 人 的 毒 病 。

8 你 惟 親 眼 觀 看 ， 見 惡 人 遭 報 。
9 耶 和 華 是 我 的 避 難 所 ； 你 已 將 至 高 者 當 你 的 居 所 ，
10 禍 患 必 不 臨 到 你 ， 災 害 也 不 挨 近 你 的 帳 棚 。
11 因 他 要 為 你 吩 咐 他 的 使 者 ， 在 你 行 的 一 切 道 路 上 保 護 你 。
12 他 們 要 用 手 托 著 你 ， 免 得 你 的 腳 碰 在 石 頭 上 。
13 你 要 踹 在 獅 子 和 虺 蛇 的 身 上 ， 踐 踏 少 壯 獅 子 和 大 蛇 。
14 神 說 ： 因 為 他 專 心 愛 我 ， 我 就 要 搭 救 他 ； 因 為 他 知 道 我 的 名 ， 我 要 把 他 安 置 在 高 處 。
15 他 若 求 告 我 ， 我 就 應 允 他 ； 他 在 急 難 中 ， 我 要 與 他 同 在 ； 我 要 搭 救 他 ， 使 他 尊 貴 。
16 我 要 使 他 足 享 長 壽 ， 將 我 的 救 恩 顯 明 給 他 。

Brief Assignment #3
Option E: Paul's Missionary Pattern. Read chapters 9‑20 of Acts. What discernible patterns or strategy do you see that characterized the work of Paul? To what extent are these patterns supposed to be normative for missionary endeavor? (2‑3 pages)
    There are many principles we can learn from Paul and his missionary journeys as detailed in the Book of Acts and other Pauline New Testament passages. God used his life in the Scriptures to show the church how the Great Commission is done the biblical way. First and foremost, Paul had a specific call to world missions (Acts 9:15). While every single Christian is to engage in evangelism (Matt 28:18-20), not everyone is called to fulltime ministries (1 Cor 12). Among those who have been predestined to fulltime ministries, not every individual has a worldwide missionary call (1 Cor 12:5). While most Christians are not called to the missions field, some are. In the broader term, all believers have a unique life-ministry from God. The nature of each believer’s ministry does not determine its overall importance or spiritual impact. No one type is more important than the other, they are just different like oranges and apples (Acts 10:34). Therefore, the first principle in missions is one must be obedient to the particular will of God for him or her in order to be fruitful missionaries. Being fruitful does not imply outward results only, as the spiritual influence can only be properly measured from God and eternity’s perspective (1 Sam 16:7). The true test of spirituality is in the degree of Christlike transformation and not one’s functions or giftings, which originated from God in the first place (Rom 8:29; 1 Cor 13:1-4; Eph 4:7-12). Consequently, only those with a genuine call to mission services should be sent, like the church at Antioch discerned and, thus, sent forth Paul and his missionary team under the directive of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:1-3). The one who has duly discerned his missions call should then seek for the scope, method, and timing of this call.
    Secondly, there is always a preparation period for those who have a mandate for missions or any other ministries. Paul did not go straight into the mission field right after the born-again experience on the road to Damascus in Acts 9. Instead, he spent a great deal of time in Arabia and then his hometown Tarsus before he engaged in any formal ministries (Gal 1:17; Acts 9:30). Even after he was introduced to the church at Antioch by Barnabas, he did not start as a missionary, but as a teacher (Acts 11:25-26). It was not until Acts 13 that God called him to his first missionary journey under the leadership of Barnabas. All these experiences and time were God’s training courses for him for the work which He had ordained for him. The long preparation served as the underpinning of his lifelong ministry. It is with this solid foundation that he was able to succeed in his three missionary journeys and all that God had called him to do. One cannot bypass the preparation and expect to be ready for the demands, challenges, and the success of the ministry. Therefore, those who confirm a missions call of God, they should pray and examine themselves with God’s help to see if they are ready at their present state, or more preparation is required before being commissioned officially. The quality of the work will always be determined by the worker. God values the spiritual cleanliness of the vessel much more than the vocation or need, so should the Church of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 13:1-4; 2 Tim 2:20-21).
    The third principle from the life of Paul as a missions minister is in his strategy to reach to those who already have a greater spiritual appetite. Paul always went into the local synagogues wherever he arrived to preach the Word of God (Acts 13:14; 17:10; 19:8). The Jews are those who already have a religious background and a propensity for spiritual matters. When the Jews at large had rejected Paul’s message, he went to those Gentiles who have a high interest and hunger for the truths (Acts 13:46-48). The fact that the Holy Spirit prevented his team to minister in Mysia and Bithynia but to Macedonia in Acts 16 shows that God has a time and strategy for each region. The contextual explanation for God’s forbidding the former places and leading to the latter with the famous Macedonian vision is because the spiritual field there was ripe for the harvest (Acts 16:6-15). Whatever other reasons God might have, we can at least see the biblical wisdom and common sense in going to those whose hearts are open to the Gospel (Matt 7:6; John 4:35). Hence, the Great Commission of preaching to every creature in every nation in Matt 28 and Mark 16 needs to be balanced by all the other Scriptures in application for each specific case.
    Lastly, Paul always travelled in teams. He had other fivefold ministers to complement him in the work of the spiritual offices in which he did not stand. For example, Paul was called to the apostolic, evangelistic and the teaching fivefold (1 Tim 2:7; 2 Tim 1:11). In his maiden missionary journey, he worked under the supervision of Barnabas, who had a high level pastoral anointing. In his second missionary journey, he matched pleasantly with his primary co-workers Silas and Timothy, who were a prophet and pastor respectively, for a complete fivefold squad (Eph 4:11). Moreover, all the other powerful benefits of teamwork apply: mutual encouragement, edification, accountability, safety measures, practical helps, companionship, prayers of agreement, etc. (Eccl 4:9; Matt 18:18-20). Therefore, missionaries should not be sent out alone without any co-laborers or close local network connections. Even Jesus Himself went about with the Twelve and others. He also dispatched the disciples two by two. Team ministry is also the New Testament pattern of the early church, as we see all itinerant ministers traveling and ministering in groups whenever possible (Acts 3:1; 8:14).
    In conclusion, we can observe four major principles from the life and ministry of Paul from the Book of Acts and other passages in regard to missionary endeavors for today: rightly discerning the call of God, adequate preparation for the work, ministering to the needs and those who have a sincere heart for the truth, and teamwork. There are, of course, many other principles to draw from the life and example of the great missionary Paul, but these four suffice to serve as a solid Scriptural foundation for any type of missions campaign in any given time frame and culture.
*Note: this is just a brief overview of some of the important biblical principles in regard to missions. For specific situations such as judging the missionary call, the scope of the call, church planting etc., it is critical to discern the distinct will of the Lord as in all things. Sometimes all the aforementioned principles may all seem to fit well, but it may still not be the Lord's will due to His purposes. Sometimes things may seem to be barely making sense, but when it's truly of God, one should faithfully and boldly obey His call. For a brief discussion on learning to be led by the Spirit in this life and in ministries, please see: A Practical Example of Finding God's Call (http://spiritword.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F1ADB400A2626D84!4779.entry).

或是站上千萬人聚光燈下的舞台, 只要臺下有一雙目光, 我就可以比超人還要勇敢. 這是夢一樣輕的親親, 用我一生來詮釋, 愛戀的力量.

昨天嘗試沒唱過的歌的感覺好棒, 雖然一開始沒有想像的容易唱, 但發現一次比一次上手, 這種感覺很棒, 不但又多了一首歌,
而且唱新歌真的很讓我興奮高興. 從最開始唱歌幾乎都是女生的歌, 到唱男生的歌, 反思唱不好的原因, 到嘗試不同的歌手不同的類型,
我想要唱更多的曲風!! 到底有沒有適不適合自己的風格, 沒有試過努力過怎麼知道, 而且試試看其實也蠻好玩的說!! 我發現拍MV其實很有趣, 要怎麼在3-5分鐘表達一些重點一些意境一些感覺, 與歌貼切適當, 讓人覺得印象深刻, hmm...!!
Sep 24, '08
我看我是越來越喜歡林宥嘉了, 一直聽他的歌. 我喜歡一個人評說他「成功不但靠他那感動他人的歌聲,
一直超越自己,
挑戰自己的精神才是最重要的因素... 他這個人對任何事物都有一套獨到的見解, 很棒!」 Yah, 我也要突破,
規定自己下次不能唱超過兩首以前唱過兩次以上的歌, 代表要挑戰很多新歌.
之前看了野豬大改造的片段, 對啊, 信子本來希望欺負他的人能消失不見,
後來在朋友的一番話後覺悟到其實最需要改變的是自己, 就反而希望自己要存在在欺負他的那些人的世界, 因為他決心要突破改變. 後面呢,
一定難死了, 但這樣才好看才值得, 比誰都勇敢.
然後今天去弄了把雨傘, 透明又拱起來的那種, 比較堅固能擋風遮雨, 看的見前方也比較安全, 超得意的說, 就給它取名為小透明好了! 小透明!!!!

身邊好多人都買了PS3或X360. 我小學高中時期超級迷戀電動的, 打到天昏地暗日月無光. 上大學後因為太忙了就很少打電動, 就開始興趣缺缺.
現在偶而和好朋友打還是會覺得爆好玩, 我想是因為朋友的關係, 要不然我一個人不會想去打電動. 我喜歡的遊戲類型還蠻多種的.
我還是很喜歡一些輕搖滾另類的歌. 小學最開始接觸音樂是古典樂, 國高中在北美聽超多西洋的現代另類搖滾, 信主後聽很多古今中外的詩歌,
這幾年哈華語流行, 幾乎什麼曲風都聽, 也一直有聽一些日係和英文歌曲, 我還想接觸更多以前少聽的. 在猴媽的異想世界裡,
小時候其中一個夢想就是成為樂團主唱像阿信那樣, 現在加上也要能唱像林宥嘉那種抒情歌, 嘻嘻, 古怪精靈吧!!
Sep 26, '08
現在回頭看, 那些不期而遇剛好發生在情人節的事還有美夢, 我真的不曉得哪裡還可以找到那麼真實的浪漫故事. 這是我們的天父, 這是為什麼我那麼的死心塌地.

Note: this is one of the assignments that I had to do for my current course, thought to post it since it's kinda practical. It does seem that the most asked question in Christian counseling is "How do I know the will of God for my life?"
Brief Assignment #2


Option B: A good 18‑year old friend
comes to you and says: “I feel God is leading me to the mission field. Can you
help me?” Outline your response in sentence form. Be sure to indicate if you
think God calls or guides and include the role of the church, mission agencies
and schools. You may draw from your readings and the lectures. (1‑3 pages)
 
1. Evaluating the
Situation:
 
My initial response would be to ask for the reasons why he is
feeling this way and for how long, so I can better access the situation.
 
Regardless of his reasons, I would encourage him for his heart for
seeking God and the desire to understand more.
 
2. Sharing the Biblical
Principles of Knowing God’s Will:
 
According to his response to my initial questions, I would share
with him the biblical principles that govern finding the will of God for one’s
life, especially one’s ministry-vocational call.
 
I would encourage and assure him that God has a plan and ministry
call for every individual (Rom 12:1-2), and that He certainly guides them along
the way with every possible means (Eph 5:17).
 
First of all, we can know all the general principles from the Bible.
God’s call will never contradict His Written Word. So I would share with him in
this area if he is not as clear in some parts.
 
Then I would show him that for specific leadings, such as what he is
feeling now, the primary way God guides is through the inward witness of the
Holy Spirit (Rom 8:14-16). The Holy Spirit guides us in specific life
circumstances such as ministry call and service, vocations, finding one’s life
partner, etc.
 
He is to be led by the Holy Spirit in his spirit, and not by his
physical and soul feelings, or surrounding events in themselves, or what other
people say. Some of these do fall in line with God’s will from time to time,
but they in themselves are not the sure indicators of God’s leading, as many of
them contradict with one another at different points in most cases. If
something truly is of God, the outward events will eventually conform, but they
are more like passive confirmations rather than proactive leadings.

The "inward witness" of the Holy Spirit is a "spiritual sensation in
our new born-again spirit man," and not a soulish emotion. It can be
perceived variously as an "inner knowing," "inner peace," "inner
prompting," "inner leading," "an inner assurance," "an inner warmth,"
"an inner urge," etc. (There are different meanings to the various
types and levels of the inward witness, but the first basic step is to
learn to sense it.) An example of this can be found in Phil 4:7. The
"peace" here comes from God, who is Spirit (John 4:24), hence, this
peace has a spiritual origin and is a spiritual sensation that comes
through our spirit man. This is how this peace can surpass all
understanding, which is an aspect of the soul and not spirit, and can,
therefore, guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, who dwells
in our spirits through the Holy Spirit (Col 1:27).
Another Scriptural example of the inward witness is in Rom 8:16, where
we see clearly that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit, not
soul or body, since the Spirit dwells in our spirits (John 14:17). The
context here speaks of the inner assurance of being the sons and
daughters of God. When one becomes a child of God, he or she doesn't
really have a paper certificate or any outward physical proof showing
100% that they're saved, born-again, and a child of God. But you just
somehow know that you know that God is real and you're in God. This is
because the Holy Spirit is bearing witness with the spirit within us,
giving us an inner knowing or peace that we know that we know we're
truly the children of God. So Rom 8:16 tells us that we can be assured
of our salvation through the inner witness of the Spirit. The principle
of being led by the Spirit behind this verse is the same, as it reveals
how God leads and assures us. The Holy Spirit in inside us, therefore,
He leads from the inside, not outside. The inward witness is also the
"anointing within" (not the "anointing upon" in which the gifts of the
Spirit operate--Luke 4:18; Acts 1:8) that teaches us all things through
the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27).
Normally one would only be more able to discern the inward witness of
the Spirit in personal time with God. He would need to pray, ask, seek,
and wait on God. He would need to first and foremost ask God to cleanse
his heart so that no impure motive is resident, as God values the heart
much more than the work and call (1 Cor 13:1-4). Love should be the
only motive in everything that we desire, think, say, and do (Mark
12:28-31).
 
Usually God will only reveal one step at a time, to keep us
dependent on Him all the way. To sense the Spirit’s prompting takes time,
diligence, and sometimes extended travailing prayers, but God promises that
those who seek earnestly and persistently will find (Matt 7:7-8).
 
After a supposed prompting is perceived in the spirit, we need to keep
on praying and waiting to make sure we have not sensed wrongly or
understood wrongly, or interpreted a right sensing incorrectly, which
will lead to the wrong application. Sometimes one may pick up an inward
witness correctly, but interpret its meaning incorrectly. Spiritual
wisdom and revelation are needed for the right interpretation and
timing. Sometimes God may give visions, dreams, and prophecies to
confirm His leading, however, these must be subservient to the Word of
God and the inward witness, which comes from the Spirit of God.
Biblical symbolism and guidelines are needed for interpreting dreams,
visions, and prophecies, which are mostly symbolic with exceptions.
(For dreams and visions interpretation guidelines: (English) http://spiritword.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F1ADB400A2626D84!243.entry (Chinese) http://spiritword.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F1ADB400A2626D84!370.entry).
 
There are various means to discern whether something is from God,
ourselves, or the Devil. What is of the Spirit of God will always be in harmony
with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22-23). The root of
these spiritual-emotional sensations is from the spirit and they do not come
from external stimuli.

 
Another safety measure for checking one’s perception is to seek
godly counsel from mature and experienced men and women of God. Ask
good-hearted people to pray for you and input their thoughts. Many times God
does confirm through people. However, one needs to remember that this per se
still belongs to confirmations and not leadings, as one may hear different
opinions or even disagreement among the counsels received.
 
Time is usually the best plumb line to test whether something is of
God, as truth will endure the test of time but what is carnal will not. If
there is not enough time to make a firm choice, just go with the best possible
sensing in the spirit of humility, God’s grace will cover for the period and
correct later if it is not so in line with His particular purpose. Remember,
even the right thing needs to be done in the right timing and, most
importantly, with the right heart attitude.
 
3. Practical
Applications:
 
In view of the biblical principles shared, I would encourage him to
seek and wait on the Lord to guide him through the Spirit for a period of time
in regard to this missions urge that he is feeling.
 
He should go and talk to respected men and women of God for counsel.
More importantly, he should go talk to missionaries, missions workers, pastors,
and check out mission agencies, and Bible schools to be well-informed on what
missions work is really all about. This process is necessary and it will help
him to better discern God’s call in the practical aspects of things.
 
If after a time period of seeking and waiting, discerning and
checking with related persons and agencies, he still senses a strong prompting
with seemingly good confirmations, then perhaps God is leading him to the
missions field. Then he should seek for the way and timing in which God is
equipping him for this work. If after a time the urge is not getting stronger
or fades, he should keep praying, while remaining open to God’s Spirit at all
times.
 
4. Reminders:
 
I will also give him all the resources I have and know pertaining to
finding God’s will and the missionary ministry. I would certainly pray for him,
encourage him, and keep a regular follow-up with him to make sure he is on the
right track and in balance in terms of general biblical directives.
 
I would remind him not to be afraid even if he does make mistakes in
the process. God’s grace is sufficient and He can work all things for his
benefit as long as he loves God sincerely and purely (2 Cor 12:9-10; Rom 8:28).
In some cases, he may lose a few blessings, but minor errors or occasional
failures in weak moments will not stop God’s purposes in his life. For the
lover of God, the worst case scenario is that the will of God may be delayed
but not totally forfeited. The greatest is still love, if he remains loving God
with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love people with the same
love of Jesus as much as he can, he would not stray from God’s Perfect Will
from the overall and eternal perspective. If God does indeed calls him to
missions, it will be because He loves those people in foreign lands and wants
him to be a vessel of His love there. If He calls him elsewhere with a
different task, it would still be because God wants him to be a channel of His
love through other equally important avenues. God weighs the love we put into
the work much more than the work itself.
 
 
“Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass
or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not
love, it profits me nothing” (1 Cor 13:1-4—NKJV). 
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God" (Rom 8:14).
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all
things that I said to you" (John 14:26).

Strange but so tangible this peace, strange but so
true this warmth, strange but so heavenly the dream. I don't exactly
know why, but it's there, especially yesterday and last night, it came
like a wave of grace, clothing my heart with Your presence and smile.

"What
Will I Do"這個歌的歌詞就是猴媽當時長假的禱告辭, 現在看起來真的是超貼切到不行, 寫給天父爸比的.
那個還要配合當時工作服事健康前景整個沒有方向的意境, 很無奈痛苦, 但卻因為祂, 心底總有種說不出來的盼望. 當時藉著這個機會,
我看清了什麼才是這個人生最重要的事, 什麼才是神看重的, 什麼才是我真的想要的. 到今天我對祂簡單的愛, 只有更多. 簡單卻要最純潔,
純潔到永遠. 人生不是只有吃喝玩樂, 我們來這地上走一遭是有個神聖使命的, 你要去發現你的, 透過那個計畫活出基督, 散發出耶穌的愛. 這樣,
就是活的最有意義也最喜樂的一生.
What Will I Do (Long Vacation OST)
I'm not really sure of the words to say
If only you knew that I feel this way
I wanna give my heart to you
Show me the way that you want me to
I know for sure there's a place for us
I'm counting the days till I feel your touch
You come to me when I dream at night
When I'm with you it will be so right
If you could see the love in my eyes
You should know that I'm on your side
Ohh ohh ohh
I'd be yours
You be mine
Ohh what will I do
Ohh what will I do
Ohh what will I do
Ohh what will I do
Cagnet, from the album "Here We Are Again" (soundtrack of "Long Vacation")

I've got something new this week--my cute Little Fuji. 超可愛我超喜歡!! 那真的要取名為Little Fuji嗎? 小Fuji, 聽起來還不錯喔, 有感覺, 謝謝爸比!! *Muah* ^.^

天父在問我, 如果要我為自己的橙色歲月寫結局, 我會如何抉擇. 而我依然還有祂的話語裡的純潔智慧, 我知道祂要我做個真正屬神的人.
最終如果見祂面的時候真心的愛了祂及愛人如祂, 那就是祂的旨意. 其實只是雙風塵僕僕再普通不過的腳印, 卻成了劃破黑暗的曙光,
讓這個世界看見絕望的幻滅.
「惟獨從上頭來的智慧, 先是清潔, 後是和平, 溫良柔順, 滿有憐憫, 多結善果, 沒有偏見, 沒有假冒」(雅3:17)

昨天弄的相機盒居然太小了, 今天馬上換了大一點的. 回來試試看, 嗯很合適耶! 給我可愛小Fuji的專屬新窩, 辛苦工作完後可以好好休息的小床, 風吹雨淋中的小避風港. 來, 親一個, 啾, 親兩個, 啾啾!!  ^.^ !!

雖然平常我很不喜歡雨天, 因為我不喜歡濕冷, 但這幾天下點小雨的好處就是能夠呼吸新鮮的空氣, 大口大口的吸,
還真舒服喔. 所以會感謝天父爸比賜下的恩雨, 滋潤我心. 這種在平時會很讓我煩厭的天氣裡開心的感覺, 還真... 嗯...
要怎麼形容呢...? 還真特別呢, 像是吃好吃的料理吃的飽飽的滿足感, 份量又剛好, 不會不夠也不會太撐. 或是如一種不必負心違願的坦然,
撐不撐雨傘都還是有音樂在心裡播放的輕鬆. 今天有冬天的感覺, 有冬天的溫馨, 全部全部都傳出來. ^_^
Aug 21, '08
太陽還是沒有出來嗎? 那就讓這首歌在這下雨的城市帶給大家一點小陽光, 看猴媽召換懶洋洋的小太陽! 別再讓過去傷心的種種讓你裹足不前.
我們都是看著同樣的天空, 無論是水藍色或是灰色的, 抬起頭來仰望天父, 仔細聆聽心中的寧靜, 你會默默感受到, 祂愛你的那份愛, 是真實,
是很多很多的.

I need a wig too, anyone knows where to get one?? Haha, I'm serious, keep losing hair like crazy!!! @@

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and
broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go
in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which
leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13). Although
it's a lot harder and one can't possibly do it with his own might, it's
much simpler, much rewarding, and much beautiful than the broad way of
mammon-worship and self righteousness. Therefore, I chose to walk a
different path, where I know I'm loved deeply, so I love Him and others
back. Here are the two greatest commandments, it's about the heart, not
a religion of externality or age-old traditions. This narrow path will
lead me back to life, the way it was supposed to be from the beginning
in the blessed Garden of Eden. Now I'm tasting freedom, peace, joy, and
happiness everlasting because of this choice. It can be now, you don't
have to wait to receive. It ain't cheap but it's uncomplicated, pure
and humble -- too attractive.

2008北京奧運蘇麗文, 讓人動容掉淚的英雄故事, 一定是今天陽光普照的原因吧. 我都還記得2004年雅典讓台灣奧運史上奪得第一面金牌的就是跆拳
道的陳詩欣(之後朱木炎也是). 看到那一幕的時候大腦還來不及反應就哭了. 那次陳詩欣也是負傷重感冒上陣,
她的參賽背後也是有一段很感人的心路歷程. 記得那時我在埔里2005情人節買了她的書叫勇敢, 因為天父輕聲的對我說要我也要勇敢.
這世界還需要看見很多爲真理, 為愛, 為夢想的勇氣, 點亮溫暖這個地球. 這才是真正從天而賜的比賽和金牌, 即使人膚淺的眼睛常常看不見,
卻是最有最有價值, 並長存到永永遠遠的.  ^___^

在一片吵雜聲中過後, 禱告尋求已久的答案, 居然在這個時候聽見了, 再清楚不過了.
我知道橙色歲月剩下的三分之一該怎麼作了. 這個Orange Days最重要的事如果沒達到, 對我來說前面所有的努力將會沒有半點意義,
我會是個完全的失敗著. 我終於懂了, 難怪之前我會有些困惑, 原來的確沒有完全聽錯. 請記得為什麼會有橙色歲月的開始. 如果做到了,
我會是全世界最開心的小朋友. 難怪爸比要丟給我大結局讓我自己寫的戲碼措辭, 我明白了, 現在請祢幫助我, 我沒有白認識祢. 爸比我感受到了,
我聽見了, 我全速的來了.
結果收到這個結局任務的今天, 剛好是我受洗11週年, 剛過了12點, 我剛才才突然發現的. 巧合嗎? 沒有那麼多巧合的.
如果是單純因為愛的緣故, 這樣和祂同行的某一日, 你的生命將會發生比偶像劇還要感人戲劇化的事. 因為祂是愛, 祂是浪漫, 最真最實的的那種.

猴媽幻想空間(家常加長篇):
我這輩子沒時間但下輩子一定要做的行業有: 音樂人, 音樂/電視節目主持人, 電台DJ. 對比較理性的人,
我喜歡把事情分析的條理分明井然有序. 對感性的人, 我喜歡說浪漫可愛卻又不失真情的話語. 其實我發現很多時候, 後者反而比較能帶來鼓勵.
人常需要的不是解說而是真誠的相伴和關心. 這是主持的部分, 剛好我是知性和感性都很多的人(還是較偏感性), 內外向兼具的怪咖,
所以很喜歡這種性質的工作. 音樂方面, 她有種能超越話語表達的極限, 有時, 一首歌的意境勝過千言萬語, 在人心中留下刻骨銘心的意境.
我想歸根究底是因為我喜歡帶給人歡樂吧, 不論是分享或音樂. 聆聽也是交流很重要的一部分哦. 光是昨天我聽到不同友人吐的苦水就可以出一本小說了,
一個接一個一直到凌晨四點. 但我要說的是我真的很高興也很榮幸, 就在那裡靜靜的聽, 其實很多時候聽著別人的情景, 也不曉得要說什麼,
就是在那聽. 人生碰到很多苦難的好處是, 當別人分享的時候裡面能夠感同身受. 當我想要丟垃圾的時候, 也能夠去霹靂趴拉的丟, 真好!!
還有啊, 用這個FB掛MV分享的壞處就是空間有限, 我只好一直用comments的部分繼續說. 我MSN的部落格就不會有這問題,
還是以後用那個分享?
我喜歡簡簡單單的愛. 純情專一的愛, 不只是付出, 還要被愛, 無虛偽的, 用心的, 深刻的. 可能有些人會覺得弄得複雜很有趣,
但我不要這樣. 這不是沒種, 相反的, 單純的愛才需要很多的勇氣, 因為毫無欺騙敞開真誠, 是全心全意的.
聽了大明星靜茹的坦白(Facebook放的MV--愛很簡單), 你會這麼認為嗎? 天父的愛就是如此純潔無私. 感謝因為認識祂讓我聽情歌的時候可以為愛的存在而感恩開心.

今天第一次在Stanley Park騎腳踏車, 沿著海灣地帶的路線真的很美. 我帶著希望, 繼續向前行. 真的很高興, 天氣超棒, 海岸風景超美, 有好朋友陪伴, 有陽光無限, 有天父之愛, 給我很多放鬆的感覺.
以前覺得演戲的人要很厲害, 一下要你開懷大笑, 等一下馬上要你哭. 但是經過歷練, 就不會那麼難了.
I had a wonderful Canada Day, thanks everyone. I needed a break!!

哈, 宅女老姊告訴我蜂蜜幸運草的基本人物劇情第一集就都看出來了. 五個主角裡只有一個正常人, 哈哈.
猴媽與他們的怪癖相似度如下: 真山--跟蹤偷窺狂 (好啦我承認這點很像, 但不是惹人討厭的那種), 亞弓--超級大花痴 (這個最像, 啊哈哈,
但也不是惹人厭的那種), 森田--天才瘋子 (天才沒有, 偶爾會瘋瘋的), 小育--自閉小精靈 (自閉沒有, 但偶爾會避暑),
竹本--唯一的正常人 (我還是有正常的時候啦, 哈哈, 大-概-吧...). 官方網站: http://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/S051420080517U/index.htm. 裡面的色彩很可愛哦!!!

王菲膾炙人口的我願意原創者是黃國倫, 除了是個情歌外本意是對上帝的奉獻(他寫給范曉萱的眼淚也是). 黃國倫還亂有他的幽默風格, 還蠻好笑的. 我願意就是猴媽的成名曲, 我第一首會自彈自唱的代表作,
因為歌詞旋律很震撼我. 我的明星臉有說有點像徐志摩, 也有說過F4裡面的吳建豪, 還有一個就是黃國倫, 感覺吧,
他的臉比我胖多了.

這幾天落了夏日雨. 過去一年的時間溫哥華也莫名其妙下太多雨了吧, 水龍頭要關緊,
不然沒人注意的時候連夏天都不小心一滴一滴的漏水. 不過夏天下點雨把氣溫降低些, 如果對大家都好那就下吧. 下雨時出門記得帶把傘,
討厭的雨水說再不會讓你難過嘆氣了, 哈哈, 叫雨水的背叛, 嘻嘻!!

在擁有幸福之前
一場狂風驟雨的試鍊
是無可避免的浪漫
為什麼幸福總是九拐十八彎?
下一個轉角你會遇到誰?
這是介紹轉角遇到愛的一段話
猴媽好喜歡
好希望是真的
哈哈  我想像力超豐富
蜂蜜幸運草很好看
但轉角還是第一名

猴媽最近學校作業很多都還沒完成, 可能要自律一些趕上進度,
胃也變的很差. 學校還勉強過的去, 但有一件事很莫名其妙讓我超火大的, 就是, 我家的貓是怎樣啦!!! 是因為天氣太熱頭腦燒壞了發什麼貓癲瘋,
都把地毯都搞亂了, 超無聊白痴的!!! 真有想把他抓起來臭罵一頓再打屁股的衝動!!! 神經病!!! 還喵什麼喵, 去撞牆啦,
給我把你弄的亂七八糟的地毯給整理好才能吃飯!!! __ /  <(MEOW!!!!)  <--  像不像貓生氣的表情?

這個禮拜草地施肥要灑水, 特別又因為天氣很熱. 結果發現後院其中一個以前接縫壞掉修好的水龍頭居然又壞了, 我剛開始看到那個水嘩啦嘩啦漏出的情景就整個傻掉愣在那裡, 因為根本沒有任何徵兆很無厘頭, 那是水嗎, 我沒看錯吧, 真的... 耶...!!! 很討厭現在只能用一個水龍頭灑整片後院的大草地超麻煩, 又不知道這次還能不能修. 最怕的是水管師父說是因為裂縫的情況是一開始壞了就沒有辦法完全修好的那種. 可惡, 看我拿水噴那隻瞎到爆的貓出氣!!!! __/ <-- (生氣的貓又出現了)

昨天碰到一個超級會睡覺的人, 要不是親耳聽到又有證人我真的很難相信. 每天七八點晚飯後就睡, 早上六點起來,
睡十~十一小時. 放學回家就差不多六點, 所以每天的生活就是上學, 吃飯, 睡覺. 然後她還說再學校還會睡午覺... ... ... @@
... ... ... 哇咧... ... ... 睡太多也不好吧, 要不要去看看醫生比較保險, 有叫嗜睡的東西喔... 超強... ...
... 我不知道要接什麼話... ... ...!!

想起我以前超級星期天最喜歡的單元就是阿亮主持的超級任務, 專門找失聯以久珍貴的摯友貴人. 我超喜歡的, 因為我發現我也超會作這種事的, 成為別人的一片小小幸運草. 我真的相信那個阿亮的口頭禪:「凡走過, 必留下痕跡」.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
不管你現在在世界或天上的哪個角落, 祝你生日快樂. 我不確定七月二十三是你生日是不是又是另一個圓謊, 但都不重要了, 真的沒關係了. 我只想說我沒有忘記你. 我變了, 好的改變, 我變了太多太多了, 全都是因為耶穌. Happy birthday.

今天冷颼颼的, 要穿多點喔. 早上在教室裡看出去, 居然看到最愛的大姊在割草, 一大片好辛苦ㄛ,
我上完了她才割完. 她前一陣子去BC內陸度假曬的好黑好可愛, 剛好我今天也是穿黑的. 碰到她的時候她說她全身是汽油加草的味道,
但我才不在乎咧, 哈哈, 還是想給她抱抱, 這樣我就和她一樣也有汽油和草的味道, 嘻嘻. 最讓我得意忘形的是她白人看不懂我用中文在這裡花痴她, 哈哈哈超好笑的. 白痴!! 但是今天猴媽很高興!!

I really, really love The
Dark Knight, haven't seen a great movie in such a long time. Too many
words to say in too little time and space, besides, I don't wanna spoil
for those who haven't watched it yet. I'm just stunned, a must-see.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
下
午警察來找我和姊作見證, 關於上次我們鄰居騷動的事件, 因為我們都是親眼目睹. 這是我第二次作見證人口供錄音.
我一五一十說出我知道再清楚不過的實情, 不讓無辜的人受害, 雖然我並不完全了解詳情是什麼. 這讓我又想到昨天看的蝙蝠俠劇情, 哈哈,
我真的很愛The Dark Knight.

It
is wise to self-examine and live for the Lord each and every day and
not leave the preparation until the "last minutes" of life, as we do
not know when we will meet the Lord. Spend time each day to quiet our
hearts before God and surrender our lives to Him. Live each day with
the fullness of Christ and fullness of love, so when we see the Lord,
we will have no regrets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
媽媽說你們是全世界最棒的弟兄姊妹和寶貝. 媽媽說一定要記得禱告和親近天父爸比. 媽媽說給你們"啾"一個. 媽媽愛你們, 給你們暖暖. 也請為媽媽禱告. 媽媽說一定要給你們每一個都幸福, 開開心心的. "啾"!! ^_^

最近在兒童服事認識一些Karan的小朋友. 他們的膚色和長相有點像菲律賓人, 小小黑黑的好可愛. 我最喜歡的有兩個小女孩叫Istella和Ladia, 小朋友真的好天真可人, 我在她們面前也都變的不可思議的單純, 我自己都嚇到了, 哈哈. 願神保守祝福她們從幼小的年紀就能感受到神的慈愛, 為她們禱告!!

Today
I felt a great wave of peace and calm sweeping over me suddenly. I
can't explain it but it's there--it's real and it's not from me. I can
never have this kind of peace given my circumstances, and this fact
just makes it so tangible and unambiguous. Tell me why O my Father,
somehow I fell in love with this great wave of heavenly serenity
pouring down my heart and soul.

發現幾乎每天從早到晚都在學習, 下午讀的地方還不是很明白, 又快要考期末考. 但即使有些地方還要更加了解, 神卻說的沒錯, 最重要的是去愛, 「我若明白各樣的奧祕, 卻沒有愛, 我就算不得甚麼... 愛是永不止息」.

每次生活工作繁忙的時候就會想到長假, 以前也放過, 啊哈哈, 好懷念. 長假裡的歌都好好聽, 超好聽!!! ^^

雖然最近這兩個禮拜都還是又冷又濕, 不過一定還是會好轉起來的, 別被它影響囉. 帶點歡樂的氣氛, 把晴天的天空給大家, 變成心中的小太陽, 暖暖的, 美好的, 好心情, 都給很多很多的你!!

能呼吸新鮮的氧氣, 就大口大口的吸吧. 把不好的通通吐出去, 好的通通的吸進來. 下雨天也快要結束了, 好天氣就要來到, 今晚倒垃圾, 看MV也要帶給人開心!!!
就知道上次的事有很影響到她, 禱告加上小小的問候, 今天看到最愛的大姊又整個活過來好高興.
早上就對我好好, 都幫我準備好還抱我, 覺得她好多了真棒! 她看不懂中文不曉得我在寫她, 哈哈好好玩. 還有另一位阿媽老師跟阿媽學生,
每次看到她們這幾個都很被激勵. 我看大姊再二十年六十歲的時候我還是覺得她很可愛溫柔好笑美麗, 當然還有超神經大條的, 嘻嘻!!

I felt the presence of Jesus again during cell
today at the worship and prayer time. This time it wasn't as strong as
last time (refer back to "The Presence of Jesus Christ" blog"), but I
sensed Jesus in the room again. He is with us for special purposes. I
think I'll only know more fully about these experiences later on. But I
can sense that He is pleased and is trying speak something to me about
the cell group that I've not picked up fully yet. I need to spend more
time seeking and waiting.

我要向全世界炫燿, 我的天父爸爸, 是我最愛最棒的爸比. 父親節快樂, 我生命最珍貴的那位,
I love You Father and not ashamed to tell the whole world of my deep
love for You, and Yours for me.
最近亂懷舊的喔. 上禮拜和高中死黨和韓國同學及他的朋友們見面,
真的好有趣, 有個可愛韓國姊妹和我們之間的對話都快讓我笑死了, 哈哈. 今天作禮拜的時候見到久違的阿Ken和他弟,
我們在Burnaby的一幕幕就好像昨日而已. 之後去了從前和JuJuWay去打混的Surrey SFU, 還記得當時他在那裡的痛苦,
如今已在另一個好學校奮鬥, 讀有志趣的課程明年初就畢業了, 也是就在這裡和阿瑋重新和韓國的同學不期而遇, 超浪漫.
在Facebook上能和很久以前認識的朋友們再連絡. 謝謝爸比很多很多, 都是甜美回憶. 走廊上帶著小白慢慢前行時,
看著不遠的前方突然有種新奇的好預感, 在下個十字路口等著的是下一個驚喜, 搞不好又會見到什麼老朋友也說不定呢!! 父親節曾以為是失去,
驀然回首卻有個總是在那的「第二個」爸爸等待著我, 那是11年前的六月天, 我認識了祢.

今天去量體重, 嚇一跳, 瘦了三公斤. 雖然說之前在看中醫配合食料應該會瘦些(可是中醫說應該會變的比較胖??),
但對我的體質三公斤也很誇張. 我是那種從高中體重就不太會變化的體質, 吃多了也不會胖, 少吃了也不會瘦. 這八九年來,
真正瘦下去只有禁食的時段. 很好笑的是, 那個時候去買菜, 好死不死撞見現在的華人牧師(現在想起來真的很好笑), 當然是被狠狠的訓了一頓.
可惡, 看我怎麼再回復到原本正常體重, 虧我最近還有再練.  __/

這顆星球
 
 
這顆星球沒有太陽沒有白晝
 
冰河時期只有越來越冷的趨向
 
這顆星球上有很多恐怖的怪物
 
這些怪物越來越多越來越霸道
 
這顆星球早已滅亡  卻又永遠不會消失
 
這才是真正的痛苦
 
這顆星球沒有人知道
 
永遠只會在那寂寞無助的自轉
 
即使有自爆的念頭  也沒有力氣脫離軌道
 
旁邊的月亮星球也會跟著受害吧
 
那怎麼辦
 
這樣的存在是不停的墜落無底的黑洞
 
這顆星球只有一個人活著
 
 
那是它感受到你重量的第一次
 
你踏上這死灰色星球第一步的聲音

很輕很柔
 
靜悄悄的幾乎聽不見
 
卻又那麼無可否認的真實
 
那是它第一次感受到熱感受到光
 
那是它第一次看見眼淚詮釋另一種悲傷
 
散發出許許多多的光和熱
 
你說  不要懷疑  這不是給別人的
 
這是給你的  記得這個星球不是只有你一個人嗎?
 
 
今天我們在教科書上學到地球是反射太陽的光芒
 
因為愛不是建立在一個各取己利的冰冷交易上
 
11年下來
 
給了它陽光  空氣  和海洋雨水
 
給了它色彩  溫度  和花草綠葉
 
給了它生命  音符  和自由和平
 
也讓它看見了  它週遭有許許多多同樣美麗的繁星
 
 
它不會賦詩  只是一顆木訥的星球
 
但它想把心中最深處的感動
 
告訴太陽
 
告訴祂
 
從此這顆星球不再只有一個人
 
地球也會永遠圍繞著太陽轉
 
 
「你的日頭不再下落、你的月亮也不退縮．因為耶和華必作你永遠的光、你悲哀的日子也完畢了。」(賽60:20)

詞曲: 藍又時  演唱: 林依晨
 
風輕輕 我聽見你聲音 你對著我叮嚀 要注意自己的心情
雨輕輕 我聽見你聲音 你拿著傘靠近 為我遮著風擋著雨
一點點想哭泣一點點想著你 你的愛很珍惜 我總依賴著你的記憶
 
你就像風在說話 順著我方向
你就像海中的波浪 堆著我成長
我明白你的回答(你的回答) 溫柔的對話
愛情其實沒有辦法 不被感動吧 我不說謊
 
雨輕輕 我聽見你聲音 你拿著傘靠近 為我遮著風擋著雨
一點點想哭泣一點點想著你 你的愛很珍惜 我總依賴著你的記憶
