A wonderful video of a truly moving skit...

I think the challenge is this: Do we desire for God like the girl does? How much desire do we actually have?

你在餐廳門口前突然行快的那幾步路，須然心底明白，但...其實...卻很痛心...

Lukewarm... it really feels worse than cold, it does...

供應

今日很意外地收到 Weyerhaeuser 奬學金的通知，支付我下一個學期的學費和生活費。突然覺得很感恩，因為回想這兩年幾，發覺其實神的供應從來沒有一刻缺乏過，在每一個學期都給予我有足夠助學金的供應。

還未畢業，祂已安排了一份這麼好的工給我。除了能夠 “Be still，and know He is God” 之外，試問還能夠做什麼？ 須然是有努力過，但這努力絕對不配得神待我這麼好... 神的恩典也實在太奇妙，太偉大了。

Thomas 你說得對，神是要經歷的。

這些年來，我真的親身經歷到在這段經文上，神供應的應許：

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

"Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will He clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.

"For the pagan world runs after all such things, and Your Father knows that you need them. But seek His Kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well." (Luke 12:22-31)

Thank You God. I want to follow You all of my life.

All you have to do is Listen

Music is the connection between all living beings.... how TRUE this is!! Music is such a beautiful thing, unchanging and eternal since the beginning of the universe, and it connects each and every one of us, regardless of gender, race, culture... Like the eternal truths of mathematics and physics, God always creates His masterpieces to be accessible by everyone. All we have to do is really listen to their subtle harmony... Not everybody stops to listen, but for the few who are willing to seek, how blessed they are to see the beauty of it all.

I will never forget this night. You know what I mean :)

If we are the BODY...

Oh what a great and convicting song.... Come on people, we are the body...



Casting Crowns - If We Are The Body

1. It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

(Chorus)
But if WE are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if WE are the Body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

2. A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

(Bridge)
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ
