重新开始

前些日子，看见一位好友
把自己部落格的所有的帖子都除去，
改革换面，还换了部落格的名字，
然后还放了新的帖子，名作“重新开始”。

今天十二月三十号，来到了二零一零年的尾声了，
大四第一学期也来到了尾声，
跟巴布史金的课也来到了尾声。
今天买了些存货，从祷告会回来后，
收拾了货物，收拾了书本，
收拾了书橱，收拾了书桌，
床……等寒假时再收拾吧。

收拾完后，心里想，
是时候冲个凉，
收拾好自己的心情，
收拾好自己的思绪，
来迎接新的一年。

近期为了不同的人，不同的事，不同的小考，
烦恼了太多，搞到连觉都睡不好，
身体疲惫，心灵也都快跨了。

是时候把心情收拾好，
迎接新的一年，
迎接来临的期末考。

是时候放下一切，
剪断这一切的无谓，
重新开始
……


My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62:1, 5-8

我不是

我不是写食谱的料理师，
我不是被发泄的出气筒，
我不是修电脑的技术员，
我不是谷歌网的翻译器，
我不是不说话的泰迪熊，
我不是治不眠的安眠药，
我不是治孤单的红药水，
我不是治伤心的忘情水，

我不是随传随到的勤杂员工，
我不是回答问题的询问人员，
我不是万事都会的維基百科，
我不是车厢后面的候补轮胎，
我不是只会回应的电话应答机。

我也是个人，
并非是超人，
而是个罪人。

Season Greeting ~We Are The Reason~

Christmas is around the corner again,
but everyone should know the bad news during this season.
But what is the bad news?

The bad news is that there will be a day,
where the dead will be raised,
and everyone will come before God.
Everyone will give an account to him,
and God will judge everyone
according to the things that they did,
because God is just.

Those who disobey God and violeted his rules and standard
will be thrown to hell,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,
where the will be worms,
where there will be eternal fire that cannot be quenched,
so hot that they feel burning fire in their tip of tongue.

In that place,
they will suffer eternal wrath of God for eternity,
because they had offended and sinned again this Holy God.

This is the bad news.

But fear not, this bad news came with a good news!

The good news is that God so loved the world so much that
He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ to the world,
in the form of human, to fulfill all the laws and standards,
being tempted in all ways, yet sinless.

Being sinless, but He willingly go to the cross as a sacrifice,
to die for the sins of those who believed in Him,
so that those who put their trust in Him
will not be condemned of their sins,
will not perish, but will have eternal life
to glorify God and enjoy His presence in eternity.

This is the good news, this is the gospel.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 3:16-18


What is the greatest gift that God has given during this season?


For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6


Merry Christmas
because Jesus Christ is born on this day
for you and for me!

As little children we'd dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We are the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

~ We Are The Reason ~

习惯

请原谅我的无知
请原谅我的愚昧
请原谅我的自私

我现在才明白
原来“习惯”可以酱可怕

我现在才明白
原来“不习惯”可以酱折腾

我现在才明白
原来“习惯的大衣”是酱难脱下

对不起

因为
我的无知
我的愚昧
我的自私

让你三番四次地
感到很不习惯

对不起
请原谅我

世界上最遥远的距离

飞鸟与鱼的距离很遥远，
因为一个在天空飞翔，
一个在水中游行，
但是……

The distance between bird and fish is very long,
because former flies high in the sky,
and the latter swims deep in the sea,
but......

世界上最遥远的距离，
并不是飞鸟与鱼的距离，
而是胸廓与肋骨的距离。

The longest distance in the world,
is not the distance between bird and fish,
but is the distance between thoracic cage and rib.

世界上最遥远的距离，
并不是飞鸟与鱼的距离，
而是当你的另一伴不能
和你一起赞美和敬拜上帝。

The longest distance in the world,
is not the distance between bird and fish,
but is when you cannot praise and worship God together with your partner.

世界上最遥远的距离，
并不是飞鸟与鱼的距离，
而是当你与上帝的爱隔绝了。

The longest distance in the world,
is not the distance between bird and fish,
but is when you are separated from the love of God.

宁可一辈子少根肋骨，
也不要找个不合适的骨头，
因为只有在主内的婚姻才会被祝福。

Instead of getting an unsuitable bone,
I rather have a missing rib for the rest of my life,
because only the marriage in Christ will be blessed.
