I went to Armstrong Garden this morning, just to walk around and enjoy the beauty of flowers and plants. I've never been to Armstrong but I pass by it everyday when I go home from work. I wanted to go there for several weeks and I finally went today. I was there for a long time, just very amazed at all those pretty flowers. How beautiful...It's really amazing how God created all those different flowers, full of variety... I didn't have too much interest in gardening before but I think I started to appreciate the beauty of a garden and began to understand why people spend so much time and effort taking care of their garden and backyard. I think flowers and plants bring joy and a sense of hope when we see them grow and bloom.

After taking tons of pictures and walking around and around, I decided to bring this home. (forgot what it is called....)



Enjoy the photos of beautiful flowers here!!!

大家都很好奇我生日當天在做什麼
我其實是很低調的
簡單的說,生日當天我還是很平凡的過我的星期三
早上還是早早起床去一個小學給學生考試
因為考試比較早結束所以就回家一趟
剛好有機會中午跟爸爸媽媽去吃日本料理,感謝爸爸媽媽把我給生出來
這時媽媽就會很驕傲的說…
“對阿,生妳的時候很辛苦ㄟ~妳可是從腳先生出來的呢~”

下午還是回去上班因為要開會
同事們還幫我慶生,買了一個很漂亮的蛋糕給我…讓我很感動ㄟ
之後呢,我就去學校上課
生日還要上課真的不是一件太好玩的事
而且這節課我上的很緊張
這是一節Literacy的課,一開始就來個in-class essay
還要在十二分鐘裏寫完,還要分組和別人交換看交換意見
真是壓力很大ㄟ….不過感謝主我的professor很好很幽默

之後呢,我就去SOPWNW
雖然有點小遲到,但是一走進去就有種感動的感覺
不記得那時在唱什麼歌
只知道覺得神很愛我,覺得自己是被愛的,自己並不是一個人
晚上的分享很激勵我
真的有好多時候生活的忙碌讓我很難安靜在神面前
其實神最希望我聆聽祂的聲音,祂最希望我的心是貼近祂的心的
謝謝你們這一群愛我的弟兄姊妹
謝謝你們的禱告和祝福和擁抱和蛋糕和禮物

回到我溫暖的家,很驚訝的是有美麗的玫瑰花和蛋糕和禮物等著我
爸爸媽媽pinkybaby & Robert都在等我回家ㄟ
好像一整天都在外面,這個家給我的就是這種回到家溫暖的感覺
爸爸媽媽給我一個紅包,紅包上面還有個”囍”字
到底在暗示什麼阿……..我知道我年紀不小了…哈哈哈
我愛你們~謝謝你們這麼愛我!!!!!!

當然,還要謝謝每一個祝我生日快樂的人
不管是打電話,text message,e-mail, e-card, blog…謝謝你們!!!!

親愛的天父,祢真的是很照顧我,很愛我
謝謝祢將這麼多愛我的人放在我的生命裏~

對於"禁食禱告"我有很多不太懂的地方
雖然只是很單純的知道禁食禱告的力量很大
但是昨天心裡有很多疑問
像是禁食禱告一定是要在吃飯的時間才算嗎...
為什麼要禁食禱告...禱告完吃飯或吃飯完禱告神比較不垂聽嗎...
如果沒吃飯但剛好又有禱告也算是禁食禱告嗎....

結果沒想到讀經的時候是讀到以賽亞書58章:"真實的禁食"
阿....嚇了很大一跳...心臟還蹦蹦蹦的狂跳
神回答我問題的速度還真的很快~

Happy Birthday Jean!!!!! ^___^

May the Lord bless you and keep you
May the Lord shed his light upon you
May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace & joy
Have you a blessed & beautiful birthday~

美麗堅強的生命~


今天下午是Candy阿姨的追思安葬禮拜
我想對我來說,這是我心裏面最感傷的一次
可以感受到悲痛的感覺,也是眼淚流最多的
認識Candy阿姨蠻久的
雖然後來因為她病情嚴重而幾乎很少看到她
但是以前的回憶今天似乎是一幕一幕的在我腦海中一一閃過

以前每個星期天在教會,Candy阿姨看到我一定會"欣韻~欣韻~"的叫我
臉上露出的總是燦爛的微笑
去年姊姊結婚的時候,她也穿得很漂亮來參加婚禮
還記得她也很喜樂的跟著音樂搖擺跳舞
上次看到她是蠻久前一陣子,我到醫院去看她
她還是很喜樂很有信心....

其實,她真的是最有理由成為一個怨天尤人的人
因為她全身的關節炎使得她行動非常不方便
看過她的人都知道,她連手指都不能伸直的
要站要坐要走都不是那麼輕鬆容易
但是,她總是信心滿滿非常喜樂~
她總是常常和爸爸媽媽為教會禱告
她也是一個無時無刻讚美神的敬拜者

今天我們教會獻唱了一首她生前最愛的詩歌
才唱一句我就哽咽得唱不出來了....
我想她的生命如此的豐富堅強真的是深深的影響了我~
今天有好多好多的花,但真的比不上她的生命所綻放出來的芬芳和美麗
如今,她安息在神的懷抱裏,我們每個人都會很想念她
我也深信我們會再相見,這就是神所賜的盼望~

每一次的追思禮拜,就會再一次的重新思考生命的意義
自己能留下什麼呢?
希望我的生命也能是如此豐富的生命,活出主耶穌的榮美~

很久沒有好好寫blog
花了很長一段時間看完了蟲兒和白兒的blogs
很疑惑,怎麼她們可以一次update這麼多東西
當然,看完就很有靈感...也想寫一些東西,這次我也要寫很多

世紀大塞車篇

說到這,我不得不說那天我也塞了很久
從下班離開公司三分鐘我就發覺情況不對
光是一個左轉我就等了個快十五分鐘
後來覺得不是辦法就來個右轉...
誰知道,不管什麼方向都是"塞塞塞"…所有的shortcut根本沒用
總之開了超級久終於才到了在Diamond Bar"六月新娘"的家
兩個人開開心心的要去吃飯
誰知道,十分鐘的路程我們開了一個多小時
還好我們至少在車子裏一路聊到底....
結果還是為了不想再塞了所以馬上轉進Applebee's
謝謝"六月新娘"為我提前慶祝生日~真是貼心阿!
世紀大塞車就在六月新娘的晚餐和禮物和她的陪伴下畫下美好的句點~
謝謝妳我親愛的六月新娘~

與天使相遇篇

上次去青年營,我竟然遇到了來過我辦公室考試的學生
從來沒想過會再見面的人,竟然在Pali Mountainretreat遇到了
這是神的安排,就連睡覺都是排在同一個cabin裏
她,是一個很可愛很單純的小女生
這樣的相遇,讓我覺得和她之間有種超級親切的感覺
Retreat回來後,她寫了一封讓我很感動的email給我
這個禮拜我有三天在Diamond Bar High
我心裏在想,好希望可以看到她
但是學校裏超多人的,我也不知道她的class schedule
很神奇的,星期三早上在我走去教室的路上…我們竟然又相遇了!!
那時候是上課時間,她剛好拿著pass去拿計算機
我們倆都因為這第二次奇妙的相遇感到很驚奇也很興奮
很高興又看到妳~謝謝妳的擁抱~我們一定會再見面的~

復興青年營感想大分享

想寫這篇想了很久,可是一直都沒有機會乖乖的寫
趁現在靈感很多…也可以安安靜靜回想那幾天的感動

復興青年營:信息篇
陳牧師的信息很令我感動,很有領受
也對”復興”這兩個字有新的認識
雖然他有時候都很激動加上動作和emotions都很豐富
有幾次都看到他講到他自己眼睛裏都是淚水
真的是用心在分享信息,難怪聽了很感動~

“真實的面對生命!真實的面對神!”
“我們口中的所說的話是會成就的!”
“抓住神的心意:看見靈魂得救! Be fruitful & multiply”
“你關心神的事,神就一定關心你的事!”
“看見神看見的!”

復興青年營:敬拜讚美篇
很享受兩天晚上的敬拜....
雖然地方是有那麼一點的擠
可是神還是依然與我們同在
沒有比能跟一群弟兄姊妹自由大聲的敬拜更喜樂的事了

復興青年營:禱告篇
很不習慣第一個早上的禱告會
所以第二天決定自己一個人禱告
找到一個很喜歡的地方,看著山上美美的景色
溫暖的陽光灑在身上,加上新鮮的空氣
有了一段跟主耶穌的約會~


第一天的晚上聚會前,我看見兩三個姊妹在後面禱告
看了很感動…心想他們吃飯一定吃得很快
為的就是為晚上的聚會禱告
雖然只有兩三個人,但這種默默的禱告是討神喜悅的~
第二天晚上聚會前,這次是大概十個弟兄姊妹一起禱告
這個禱告很有震撼力….聽起來像是二三十個人在禱告
很有信心的禱告,很有信心的宣告,很同心合意的禱告
我想這是我很被激勵的一幕…

第二天晚上回Cabin後,因為有些事情心裏很擔憂
誤以為我失蹤的白兒原本要狂罵我的臉頓時變得非常溫柔
我想是看到我臉上苦苦的表情吧~
馬上蟲兒就來兩個人一人一邊按在我身上為我禱告
通常我稱這種人為”天使”~
因為會為人禱告的人都是神愛的天使
這兩個人真的有很多我可以向她們學習的地方
謝謝妳們…謝謝妳們不斷的代禱…

First Day

I was the first one who got to the classroom today. I sat down in the first row just right in front of the professor so I wouldn't fall asleep. She probably thinks I am a very enthusiastic student!!!=P Thank God that the professor is nice and I only need one hour field work for this class!! Well, plus lots readings, many papers and several group presentations.

During the break, I saw this Caucasian guy getting out a pair of dark wooden chopsticks from his backpack. These chopsticks are not disposable ones; they are like the ones we use at home. Guess what he was eating with his chopsticks?? "PRINGLES"!!!!! It was quite funny to me....interesting combination! ^___^

It's my lunch time and I am eating my favorite Korean fish cake sushi from the Korean market. These yumi fish cake sushi always bring me sweet memories. Today is the first day of my class for fall. I've been working throughout the summer and going back to school two nights a week doesn't sound too exciting for me. I hope I won't stress out by working and going to school at the same time.
I pray that God will give me energy, strength, wisdom, motivation and a teachable heart!! I also pray for the favor from the professor, trying to switch the Friday class to the other days. I don't want to take class on Friday night!!!!!!!! If God's willing....

Didn't really sleep last night. Well, I think I did, just didn't sleep well. Too much thoughts on my mind. Taking a half day off.
Happy Wednesday!

今天六點就醒了
工作很辛苦,很累,很忙,做不完的事情...
下班第一件事就是"回家睡覺"
果真睡不飽,心情就會不太好(有押韻喔!)

睡了大概一個半小時的傍晚覺
真的醒來後覺得這世界充滿了希望
也再次證明我是不能不睡飽的人

晚上吃了好吃的拉麵和奶油烤玉米
也去打了兩個小時的保齡球...好好玩喔!
感謝主,讓我臨時找到一張發票後面的coupon!
這樣真的很划算又好玩~謝謝妳!!!
It was a fun Friday night~ Good night!!

Got a call from an old good friend to wish me early happy birthday!! Thanks for calling me from the other side of the world. You are such an awesome friend!!! I don't know if you have internet access there in China but thank you soooo much!!! Hope you will get better and better this time and all the doctors and young nurses will be nice to you~ =P

May God be with you and heal you completely!!!!

最近愛上這兩首歌....聽了N次了,還是好聽~
這首歌自從retreat回來後就每天聽
台語也這樣的進步了一點點...哈哈哈

聖靈請祢來~約書亞

聖靈請祢來 充滿在這地
我渴望更認識祢 更深的經歷
聖靈請你來 改變我心意
開我眼睛 開我耳 讓我更多認識你

我呼求聖潔 聖潔 聖潔歸我主
我尊崇祢榮耀 榮耀 榮耀歸我主

Who Am I
By Casting Crowns

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth
would care to know my name
would care to feel my hurt
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star
would choose to light the way for my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean. A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord,You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours.I am Yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea
would call out through the rain and calm the storm in me
I am Yours.I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear?Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours. I am Yours.

I love this song!! Really touches my heart.
Who am I? I am Your beloved child~ =)

媽媽生日那天計畫變來變去的
結果還是麵食贏了...因為那是媽媽的最愛
浪漫昂貴的西餐對媽媽還真沒什麼吸引力
還是實際的中國麵食媽媽才喜歡
我們去了一家店叫"魯味居"
我是第一次去,那裡有名的是牛肉捲還有二十幾種口味的水餃

這張放上來一定又有人要說"牧師阿,你又去吃好吃的了..."

這個牛肉捲還真的蠻不錯吃的!

當然還有好吃的蛋糕~

You are an angel who carries the love of God.
You reach out with your helping hands to those who are in need.

You pray with faith for those who are in time of trouble.
You are an angel who spreads the fragrance of Christ.

I see a heart that filled with love & compassion.
I am so blessed.
I am so grateful.

媽媽生日快樂!!!

昨天晚上跟媽媽在我房間講了很久的話
感謝神賜給我一個可以跟我談心的媽媽
可以很放心的分享很多事情
就這樣聊到十二點
趕快直接唱生日快樂歌給媽媽聽
給媽媽抱抱.... ^__^
更好玩的是我用手機打電話給在我們家客廳的爸爸
爸爸接了他的手機也在電話裏唱歌給媽媽聽,超好玩的...
還給我用英文的 "happy birthday to my darling..to my lover."
之後也狂打給Janice & Pinkybaby,不過你們跑到哪去了阿???
接著也打給住在同學家的TheRob
他也用快睡著的聲音跟媽媽說生日快樂!

這張可是剛出爐昨天晚上剛過十二點照的自拍照
媽媽還說她都要準備睡覺的樣子而且也沒上什麼妝
=) 媽媽,你沒化妝在我心裏也是最美的!!!!!
生日快樂~媽媽~ 我愛妳!!!!
願神的恩典與慈愛環繞妳直到永永遠遠~

I've been very very happy every single day this week. Thank God for His overflowing joy!! Have an awesome long weekend everyone!! =)

Will & Janice的婚紗照再次在我的office造成了轟動!

前天突然有個同事問我可不可以看我姊姊的結婚照片
因為她是白人啦,聽說Chinese結婚可以換很多不同的dresses
所以非常非常的興奮和好奇
因為之前帶過照片show過給很多人...那時的確造成轟動過(第一次)

不過呢,突然找不到那本相簿,只好把婚紗照帶去
結果呢,還真的造成第二股轟動....
大家的反應一定要這麼大嗎???
他們有的看完都說"This makes me want to get married again!"
eh...just make sure with your husband!! 真是的...哈哈哈
Will & Janice你們紅了!!!幾乎每個人都看過了你們的婚紗照
連路人甲都看了.... =)

不過還好媽媽找到了那本結婚當天的相簿
星期二準備再掀起第三波的轟動.....
剛剛再看了一次結婚當天的照片
還是感覺很甜,很幸福....很轟動的感覺....
