Write your plans in pencil but give God the eraser!
這幾天水深火熱的生活,連說個姐妹們聽都覺得像演連續劇吧! 有些事不便寫在部落格上,有機會遇到大家再說給大家聽囉。事情接二連三的接踵而來,讓我更明確信靠主是最棒的一件事! 感謝教會朋友們的代禱與鼓勵支持,感謝Yen在極遙遠的一方仍是這麼關心我,感謝上帝給我的應許已經不是我一個人體驗,連教會朋友們都覺不可思議! 畫室的問題也即將有個揭曉,上帝總是開出一個大家都意想不到的路,我只能更驚嘆祂的奇妙!
我們都會想到未來,並且儘可能仔細地為自己做生涯規劃,然而,上帝才是最後的決定者,祂才是實現我們夢想,或者是完全扭轉我們人生的主宰,主的道路永遠比我們選擇的要好得多。God's answers are wiser than our prayers.
Thank you! My father God! : )
站在信實的應許上必不至跌倒,
當疑慮、恐懼的風暴來襲,
站在主的應許上,
靠著主的話語我必得勝。

The Son
This story which was my friend who sent to me is touching. so I share with you!: )
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.
He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.."
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"
There was silence.
Then a voice in the back of the room shoute! d, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one."
But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting.. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"
Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!"
But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.
"We have $10, who will bid $20?"
"Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!"
A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!"
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over."
"What about the paintings?"
"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!"
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"
Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE
God Bless.

Thailand Trip 5/31-6/3
Nice to meet you!
這次去泰國玩真的驚險萬分,約好先到朋友家會合再一起去機場,但去朋友家的路上卻遇到火災大塞車,差點害朋友趕不上飛機,雖然不是我能掌握的,但真的要向Mag全家致上萬分歉意,以及感謝他爸爸快車將我們載到機場、趕上飛機!
最後一天回國下飛機領行李時,也遲遲等不到自己的行李,怪不好意思的,怎麼樣都是他們在等我,但真的不是我願意的啊! 詢問櫃檯後,沒想到我的行李竟然沒有搭同一班飛機回來,天呀!我運氣會不會太好了!? (心裡不禁想起,去年曾經陪伴朋友算命,那個算命師從他的命盤看到我的,說我今年不會出國...該不會是受詛咒了吧~不禁天天禱告希望惡運趕快離開我!還好終究一切都順利沒事了!感謝天父!)
出國3、4天,每天都連續吃個不停,害我胖了3公斤,現在要減肥了啦> <除了吃泰國菜之外,我們還有去做全身按摩,這個真的超級舒服的!有機會再到曼谷,我一定會再去按摩! 後來我們還有去逛市集和一些泰國的寺廟,如四面佛...;以及shopping,但我只買了一些曼谷包...回國後發覺買太少了,好可惜;還有第三天晚上,我被灌醉.....第一次喝酒,還被騙說那一點都不烈,其實酒精濃度45%左右,我還喝了2杯再加一杯調酒耶!!.... 不過我沒有吐,意識也很清醒,只是全身無力超想睡....有這經驗後,得知...我不喜歡酒!!!!!!! 真的超累的啦!
還有一些小細節就不寫囉~下次見面再跟大家聊唷! 我已經把照片傳到舊的部落格相簿,因為只有yahoo不限制容量,大家可以去瀏覽嘍~其實都是亂照一堆...因為我們這次的行程實在很趕,歹勢ㄋㄟ!
可以直接點這裡 http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/life-hope/gallery?fid=46
ps. 照片開始的第一張是泰國玩的最後一天喔! 慢慢看吧! 只是sorry,我沒有時間做更詳細的註解...^_________^
