Perspectives, perspectives, perspectives.

最近一直在思考这词,英文比较贴切 - perspectives.

想了想,我发现有多事情都是角度观点的问题。

你看事情的观点、你看事情的角度、你是戴着哪一副眼镜去看事情。

最近发现,其实人类非常善变。

我们若选择倚靠人类,终究难免会失望。

难怪只有上帝可以说,祂昨日、今日直到永远的是一样的。

同时我也必须检查自己的生活,说真的,我生命有哪一些东西真正是不变的。

有哪一些人真正是不变的。

亦或这么说,有哪一些人、友谊或关系是我要珍惜,带入永恒的。

沉重的心...

刚刚收到一位中学好友的电话,打来的目的是要确认我是否会参加她的婚礼...当然会啦!很开心看到他们俩有情人终成眷属...

但我又刚刚打开脸书...看到另一个朋友的po文... 她最近接到消息...孩子保不住... 

我心好沉重...

to-blog-again

已经有好一段时间没有写文章了。有点想念文字...拼写文字。发布感言...

自己其实不是个喜欢张扬的人,我发现。

原本应该是 I 的性格...但生活圈子却越来越小。

我想这到底是好事坏事。

生活稀释到只剩下几样东西...但确实希望这一次都能做好。

希望做得少,也能够做得更好。

po上一些贝鼻的照片。


这个孩子长得太快了...
迈入第九个月...

悼念翁乔治牧师

我和翁牧师从未认识,或许有过一面之缘,一直都隐隐约约的认识这个人,因为他是华文教会中赫赫有名的牧师。但只有在周六听闻他过世的噩耗时,我才真正去认识他。

有趣的是,我和他三个孩子都有交集。曾和他儿子在同个牧区服事,长女是我以前儿童教会的老师,小女儿更是在去年的SOT里认识而成了朋友。没想到,自己在不知不觉的情况,也和他的家人有了关系。

今天参加追思礼拜时,心情很是沉重。虽然难过,就如圣经所说,我们不像没有指望的人忧伤一样,忧伤归忧伤,但仍旧有盼望。感谢上帝,我们有荣耀的盼望,死亡就不那么可怕,但是身边的人离开我们,纵然会心痛难过,特别是康牧师和耀珊。

我今晚有极大的荣幸,在翁牧师的追思礼拜上做翻译,想了想,上帝真的恩待了我。我是何等人,配得这样的机会...我思考他在新加坡和马来西亚的教会里所带来的贡献,心中就感动不已,他就是一位为神国度舍命的仆人。

这也就是神的国度。他几十年的服事,我看到他的果子和影响力。我们即便能在这生中多么成功,但要如何衡量成功?今天我明白...success is about significance. 他的影响力...他留下来的会存留到永恒。

This is what it means to live for God, and to live for eternity. I learnt such a precious lesson today.

提后4:6-7
我现在被浇奠,我离世的时候到了。
那美好的仗我已经打过了,当跑的路我已经跑尽了,所信的道我已经守住了。

翁牧师,安息主怀。相信你在天上的赏赐是大的。你在这地上撒下的种子必定开花结果。

27.

Another 30 mins to the end of 28 July. Cannot remember when was the last time I had such an uneventful birthday.... So just allow me to indulge.... 

Disclaimer: I'm not complaining, just ranting perhaps.

Since jan 19, 2013, my life has never been the same and will never be. I am not exactly feeling depressed about this, because I know motherhood is a high calling, but I have been feeling it soooooo much nowadays, the sacrifices one has to make is so massive... I cannot count and will not attempt to.. Count the sacrifices and amount of things I gave up just because of this... 

最近地心情确实有点低落。很多的牺牲,很多的调整,很多的寂寞。出嫁那天已经做出一大调整,但做母亲的调整,完全超乎我的想像。但我必须澄清,我并非后悔,因为这是我选择的路。是先苦后甜,还是先甜后苦。唯一的问题是,我感觉有些迷失。生活的琐碎,让我似乎迷失了方向。我不知道自己未来应该期待的是什么,难怪赵牧师常说。。。我们需要异象和异梦。

这突如其来的落寞感让我有些措手不及。我一般上是个非常积极正面的人。。。而且一直都知道自己前面的方向该怎么走。。。虽然孩子的到来在我的预想之中,但自己可能没有预料到当中要舍去的一切。

But to round it up, I am very thankful. Thankful for hubby, for baby, for church, for cg, for ministry, for friends... 

I hope I can see light in this tunnel very soon....

He restores my soul

Pst mike came and in this last day, he talked about us restoring our souls. And I felt it struck a chord in me. Life has become so busy and hectic, that sometimes I just cannot take time to restore my soul.. Or rather.. I dunno what it takes for my soul to be restored. Maybe I should really pray n ask God to show me... 

Whenever life and ministry get overwhelming, I find myself withdrawing and wishing I don't have to do anything. I just hide. And right at this moment, I'm so desperate for a getaway. To the point that tears will well up in my eyes when I think about it, because I need a break so much. 

The rest of this year looks so overwhelming that I feel tired just to think about it.. When bern interviewed Pst, he said this... He lives one day at a time. I think I just have to learn that... 

And I do want to get away so badly...

Solitude

3.5 months after giving birth, i have gotten used to a new addition in the family. But life has been crazy, work has been busy, and i find myself craving for a break and solitude, to be completely alone, doing nothing...

May is a hectic month, in every sense of the word.

How i wish... To just do nothing...
