Guided Footsteps

Isaiah 43:2,3
When you pass through the water,I will be with you;..the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you...For I am the Lord your God...your savior.

Wonderful dream is fulled of excitement and difficulty. I know God is my direction and sometimes I still need to break off somthing that I focus so far. It's really reluctant to leave it behind to go abroad is that taking yim's class. It's also so hard to decide a major that I like to study. I have a great art teacher,so I don't need to learn painting when I go abroad. Originally I decided to study about Art therapy,but yesterday Kelley and me didn't find out a school in CA that I can go. Because we don't know which school it has the program about Art therapy. The frustration makes me think about what I can study again. Then we talked about Art History or Theory.. yap..I thought about that before. But I'm a little afraid to face History...you know..I hated History while I was a student. Well,maybe Art History is different from chinese history. I knew many artists painted about Jesus,so maybe that would be interested. Anyway it will open my views and I will have to figure out it somehow. I've thought about that all day and looked for much information,but I still don't know which school in CA has good Art history program. Which school is right for me? I was quite confused and I do need help now. And it's closer to the time I have to make a decision and close the studio,then start to get the Toefl grade intently. Is there someone can give me some information about that?
The more,the better. Thanks first :)

Yes...keep praying..
Heavenly Father,thank you for your unbounded grace!Teach me to trust you always,even when I face great challenge. I overcome challenge not by my own power but only by your spirit. Help me to see the world through your eyes and help me remember to ask for your protection and guidance no matter how or why or where I travel. May I be receptive to your leading for my direction. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The right is my favorite artist and also my great art teacher,Yim(Yimaukun),...ha..I know you all know.. yeah..Kelley,Erich,and my older sister also join me to see this big Exhibition,and we had a lot fun. :D


See..the ex-president Lee came here,too. umm..I didn't have a good catch view.I tried to make it,but too many people blindfold it,especially the bodyguards. so forget it..


This lady is an artist,who is also Yim's student and my favorite aunt :) pretty nice!
The right one is her painting!


This is my college classmate. He helped me a lot at my studio before. Thanks to him and that's his painting.


We all like this bear. It's howling. soooooo cute! ha...


Yes! Happy ending!
That's really a great Art Exhibition. If you have free time,you can go visiting!

〔Thessalonians 5:14〕
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
我 們 又 勸 弟 兄 們 、 要 警 戒 不 守 規 矩 的 人 ，勉 勵 灰 心 的 人 ，扶 助 軟 弱 的 人 ，耐心待每一個人。

That day teacher Yim invited me to go out with him to look for some materials for his creations. Although he thought that's a bother for me,I was actually thankful for his invitation. ;p Thanks to him for teaching me how to create my own creations and thanks for rgarding me as a good friend also. I could tell that he worried about his health and his many creations that haven't be produced from his talks,although he didn't truly say to me. I'm just able to pray for him,because I don't know if he believes God. He knows that I believe God,so I'll do my best to let him know how wonderful God is:)
There is one good news that he told me that he will create some paintings about God one day while I share my lovely God with him. Yes! That's also my expectation to see Yim's religious paintings about Jesus. wow...Thank God for listening my asking!
Another thing I've told to some of you dears,I'll go to LA with teacher in March next year around then! Thank God again! Yes! I said that I'll be there for a good reason! Now that's for painting!!! haha... hey,I didn't mean that Yen's wedding party is not a good reason for me.. hey.. God blesses us! Amen!




As the deer,I love you lord

As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after Thee.
You alone are my hearts' desire, and I long to worship Thee.
You alone are my strength, my shield,
to you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts' desire, and I long to worship Thee.

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh my soul rejoice

Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear
I lift my voice Oh my soul rejoice

You alone are my hearts' desire, and I long to worship Thee.
only you
I long to worship Thee.
oh lord,I long to worship Thee.

^ ^ I like this song

[English translation]
Always With Me_Spirited Away sing by Yumi KIMURA

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time

Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painfull woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you

When a miror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
I've found a brightness, it's always with me

いつも何度でも_千と千尋の神隠し

作詞：覚和歌子
作曲・歌：木村　弓

呼んでいる　胸のどこか奥で
Yondeiru Mune no Dokoka Okude
いつも心踊る　夢を見たい
Itsumo Kokoro Odoru Yume wo Mitai

悲しみは　数えきれないけれど
Kanashimi wa Kazoekirenai kedo
その向こうできっと　あなたに会える
Sono Mukou de Kitto Anata ni Aeru

繰り返すあやまちの　そのたびひとは
Kurikaesu Ayamachi no Sonotabi Hito wa
ただ青い空の　青さを知る
Tada Aoi Sora no Aosa wo Shiru
果てしなく　道は続いて見えるけれど
Hateshinaku Michi wa Tsuzuite Mieru keredo
この両手は　光を抱ける
Kono Ryoute wa Hikari wo Dakeru

さよならのときの　静かな胸
Sayonara no Toki no Shizukana Mune
ゼロになるからだが　耳をすませる
Zero ni Naru Karada ga Mimi wo Sumaseru
生きている不思議　死んでいく不思議
Ikiteiru Fushigi Sinde Iku Fusigi
花も風も街も　みんなおなじ
Hana mo Kaze mo Machi mo Minna Onaji

呼んでいる　胸のどこか奥で
Yondeiru Mune no Dokoka Oku de
いつも何度でも　夢を描こう
Itsumo Nando demo Yume wo Egakou
悲しみの数を　言い尽くすより
Kanashimi no Kazu wo Iitsukusu yori
同じくちびるで　そっとうたおう
Onaji Kuchibiru de Sotto Utaou
閉じていく思い出の　そのなかにいつも
Tojiteiku Omoide no Sono Naka ni Itsumo
忘れたくない　ささやきを聞く
Wasure takunai Sasayaki wo Kiku
こなごなに砕かれた　鏡の上にも
Konagona ni Kudakareta Kagami no Ue nimo
新しい景色が　映される
Atarashii Keshiki ga Utsusareru

はじまりの朝　静かな窓
Hajimari no Asa Shizuka na Mado
ゼロになるからだ　充たされてゆけ
Zero ni Naru Karada Mitasarete Yuke

海の彼方には　もう探さない
Umi no Kanata niwa Mou Sagasanai
輝くものは　いつもここに
Kagayaku Mono wa Itsumo Koko ni
わたしのなかに　見つけられたから
Watashi no Naka ni Mitsukerareta Kara


[中譯]直到永遠_神隱少女_片尾曲

似乎在心靈深處 一直呼喚著
經常能感受到一股怦然心動 希望能在夢中相見

許許多多的悲傷 數也數不清 但是
一定會再另一處 和你相遇

在重覆錯誤的那趟旅程中 人們啊
只知道像青空一樣的天藍色
無邊無際地 能看見不斷向前延伸的道路 但是
就用這雙手 緊緊擁抱住光芒

說再見的時候 平靜的心胸
一切歸零之後 請側耳傾聽著

生是如此不可思議 死也是如此不可思議
花也是 風也是 街道也是
全部都如此相同

似乎在心靈深處 一直呼喚著
經常一次又一次地 在夢裡描繪著

與其說盡數不完的悲傷
倒不如用相似的唇 輕輕地吟唱著

閉上眼睛就會出現 長存在心中的回憶
無法忘懷 所聽見的低低細語

碎裂的鏡子上方 也會
映照出新的景色

在開始的早晨 靜謐的窗口
一切歸零之後 反而漸漸充實

不用再去追尋海的彼方
光輝耀眼的寶物 一直都在這裡
就在我的心中 一定會看得見

Amazing

This little girl couldn't see since she was bron and she has never learnt how to play piano. But she can play the songs after listening to it once. No one taught her and there is no one can play piano in her family. She really played very well! You have to see it. That's amazing!

God did tempt me

上帝的作為真的好奇妙，短短的三個星期以內我經歷了也許是我這輩子都沒想過會經歷的事。雖然只是在這麼短的時間內，因著祂賜與的代禱恩賜，卻帶著我經歷 驚嚇、軟弱、哀傷、悲痛、喜樂、擔憂、信心、快樂、嘗試、應證、懷疑、膽小、惶恐、害怕、再信任、迷心、騙局、憤怒、倚靠、真理、更新、安靜、平安、愛、祝福、勇氣、盼望、耐心、等候…
我才領悟神是愛… 祂要我有思考、要我去判斷祂的話語，祂要與我溝通、期望我明白祂的心意、深深切盼我參與祂的計畫、祂要我去認識祂、真正的認識祂…如同羅馬書第11章第15節：「你們所受的不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕，所受的乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫阿爸父。」我才真正明白除了用愛心替人代禱祝福，祂要我持續在真理上紮根，而祂賜與我們自由意志也是一種禮物 ! 順服不是像奴僕心的順服，而是口服心服的順服。 感謝主讓我受試煉，即使撒旦仇敵是這麼可惡、狡猾，但因著主早已得勝有餘，感謝讚美主再次更新我成為新造的人!

上帝要我們去認識祂，回歸真理，從裡頭尋求祂，並結出好果子，就是聖靈的果子! 而且不論我們如何，祂絕不離棄我們，祂依然是深深、深深、深深的愛我們! 感謝主! :)



Artist:Rascal flatts
Song:Bless The Broken Road
Album:Feels Like Today

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

My student :)

This is one of my students in today's class. He is a very funny youth. He often talks a lot things to me and shares a lot his stories about his life and his family and something like that with me that makes me laugh and makes the class lively.Sometimes I do think that I am thankful for his extraversion. ha... So I wanted to have a try that drawing him with penciles. I drew him while he was drawing his work in the class and ordered him that do not move...ha..yeah.. he did. He is a good model for sitting:)

Lord,thank you for guiding me a lot things so far and letting me get a lot of understandings of God and sharing Your love. Thanks for caring us and we know that You love us. Nothing is impossible in You. Praises and thanks pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

How to see God

Do you want to see our God? Do you know that how to see our God?

I want to share what I see and what I experience. Thank to God for unexpectedly giving me this precious chance that letting me feel how His spirit is.


Do you pray everyday?
I do pray everyday,even I pray all the time. I often pray to God quietly in my mind. Yeah..you know that's easy way for me to pray,because I am awkward when speaking of prayer. So,since I started to pray by the special gifts of God,I have to say that I really hope that everyone can know God and believe in God right now.
That night I was praying and was thinking of needing to pray for many people but I didn't know where to start. So I said,"well,Precious Holy spirit of God,help me to pray.Thank You!"
Then the experience I had was unprecedented. The prayer was so long and I did feel how the Holy spirit is. Until the end of the prayer,it made me cry.I could totally feel that the spirit of God is so sorrowful. I was shocked and I had no idea about what had happened while my older sister who slept on the other side asked me. And I just found out the cause today. That's because the spirit of God is sad and sorrowful... for we're getting away from Him.
Most of people forget our God,even don't want to close to Him. We just want to live and do anything by selfishness. Now He is calling us back with His lament. He is opening His arms to greet us. God's heart is our place where we should stay,but we stagnate in this world where is filled with bewilderment for a very long time. Many people rival for priority,pull and drag each other, indulge in luxury and in aimless talks,rush around...not only those but also filling with despair and dread. I was hearing that breaking relationships between man and woman,even a christian couple get merried for decade more and they have 3 cute children. The Husband is still unfaithful to his wife with his wife's best friend who is sexy and modern. The husband is still bridled by the devil and satan and far away from our lover Heaven Father. How come? So you can see the satan really wants us being the complete destruction.

However,our God is still greeting us to His home with love and cross. There is no falseness in talking with Him. He receives the original that we are and encourageing us. He is opening His arms to hold you to His side. In there,God cultivates a closely relationship with us.
What's the way that we want to go home that God's heart? How to see Him?
The key is our prayer. That's my truly experience and it is still continued.

So,Don't break God's heart and don't hurt the Holy spirit of God,please!

Thanks for loving us,Heaven Father! Amen.

Ephesians
4:21 If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:
4:22 That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;
4:23 And be made new in the spirit of your mind,
4:24 And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.
4:25 And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.
4:26 Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;
4:27 And do not give way to the Evil One.
4:28 Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.
4:29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.
4:30 And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.
4:31 Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;
4:32 And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.
4:21 如 果 你 們 聽 過 他 的 道 、 領 了 他 的 教 、 學 了 他 的 真 理 、
4:22 就 要 脫 去 你 們 從 前 行 為 上 的 舊 人 ． 這 舊 人 是 因 私 慾 的 迷 惑 、 漸 漸 變 壞 的 ．
4:23 又 要 將 你 們 的 心 志 改 換 一 新 ．
4:24 並 且 穿 上 新 人 ． 這 新 人 是 照 著 　 神 的 形 像 造 的 、 有 真 理 的 仁 義 、 和 聖 潔 。
4:25 所 以 你 們 要 棄 絕 謊 言 、 各 人 與 鄰 舍 說 實 話 ． 因 為 我 們 是 互 相 為 肢 體 。
4:26 生 氣 卻 不 要 犯 罪 ． 不 可 含 怒 到 日 落 ．
4:27 也 不 可 給 魔 鬼 留 地 步 。
4:28 從 前 偷 竊 的 、 不 要 再 偷 ． 總 要 勞 力 、 親 手 作 正 經 事 、 就 可 有 餘 、 分 給 那 缺 少 的 人 。
4:29 污 穢 的 言 語 、 一 句 不 可 出 口 、 只 要 隨 事 說 造 就 人 的 好 話 、 叫 聽 見 的 人 得 益 處 。
4:30 不 要 叫 　 神 的 聖 靈 擔 憂 ． 你 們 原 是 受 了 他 的 印 記 、 等 候 得 贖 的 日 子 來 到 。
4:31 一 切 苦 毒 、 惱 恨 、 忿 怒 、 嚷 鬧 、 毀 謗 、 並 一 切 的 惡 毒 、 〔 或 作 陰 毒 〕 都 當 從 你 們 中 間 除 掉 ．
4:32 並 要 以 恩 慈 相 待 、 存 憐 憫 的 心 、 彼 此 饒 恕 、 正 如 　 神 在 基 督 裡 饒 恕 了 你 們 一 樣 。


Awesome In This Place
Lyrics:
As I come into Your presence
Past the gates of praise
Into Your sanctuary
Til we're standing face to face
I look upon Your countenance
I see the glory of Your Holy face
I can only bow down and say...
You are awesome in this place, Mighty God
You are awesome in this place, Abba Father
You are worthy of all praise
To You our lives we raise
You are awesome in this place, Mighty God

Abba,Father -Hillsong

Nothing special to say,I just wanna sing and praise to our Heaven Father.
In the beginning of this month,let us sing to God and thanks to God for loving us and caring everything. I love you,Father : )
