Smiling God and Regina - oil painting .970630

This is for Heavenly Father!
Today Last year,I was baptized.
Happy Birthday to Hope :)))
Thank God for finding me and loving me forever!
Thanks to my sis for sitting for me! Thanks to Yen and all of my friends!

Luke 1:45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 「主對他所說的話,都要應驗。」
Luke 1:20

And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 「到了時候,這話必然應驗。」
2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

「神的應許、不論有多少、在基督都是、是的.所以藉著他也都是實在的、叫神因我們得榮耀。



New soul

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...

today I just didn't want to study English

最近被英文轟炸,
今天下午來到畫室本來要K書,
但突然一點都不想念英文... > <
於是看到感動的景象,
想到自己的任務與使命,
打開畫箱、拿起畫筆.......












過了將近2個小時.................
登登!!
Amen!


唉! 又要教課了..............
好想一股作氣把她畫完然後上顏色阿!!!

上帝爸爸啊! 孩子感謝祢! 我知道我又進步一些些了。 ^ ^
心想,接下來Cassie & Ryan託付的大任有希望了!

why married

好多朋友要結婚了....不禁想婚了...
可是我也嫁給誰啊?????
上帝爸爸阿! 我知道祢是大大祝福我的婚姻的!!
願祢成就祢美善的旨意,不要照我的意! Amen!

願主大大祝福、看顧好姐妹們婚姻與生活!

以下是轉載一位好友的文章-
他和未婚夫在結婚前所上的婚前預備課程,真的很不錯,其實很多,要結婚的姐妹們有興趣的,可以上http://shinyen1202.blogspot.com/search/label/%E9%A0%90%E5%82%99%E5%A9%9A%E5%A7%BB%E8%AA%B2%E7%A8%8B去瀏覽喔! 神大大祝福我們!

session 1 -- Why marriage?
因為參加了預備婚姻課程,改變了整個周日的作息,由原本第二堂9:40改成第一堂8:30,結束後剛好直接上課! 課程,不限於基督徒參加,只要男女雙方願意就可以報名,必須上完課程及經過婚姻輔導諮詢,才能選擇在教會結婚! 因為教會對每對情侶再教會結婚的婚姻都有責任,婚前輔導及婚後諮詢並不是掛保證,而是因人的罪性,惟有來到上帝的面前認罪悔改,轉向神,並以上帝為中心來建立基督化的家庭...這是很蒙福的..除了兩對輔導的夫妻外,一共有九對情侶參加,輔導們很貼心,預備了咖啡紅茶,還準備了一大盒甜甜圈,在輕鬆的氣氛下進行..第一次上課,探討的主題是為什麼要結婚?輔導們也問了大家想進入婚姻的原因,有人回答因為距離太遙遠,結婚可以光明正大住在一起;也有人回答,因為不小心有小孩,所以想結婚;更有人說,為了解決性需求..各種答案都有,也讓我聽的一愣一愣,大家真的很誠實的說出結婚的目的.輔道說,在倒數第二周會探討有關親密的關係,我不會查問你門是否有婚前性行為?! 若早已發生的,建議暫時停止性關係,等婚後再好好享受,再透過課程,你們也將會明白,"性"在神眼中是何等寶貴的禮物,以及神創造性的計畫用意!為什麼想結婚? 這看起來似乎是個很簡單的問題,若是你,你會如何回答? 會如何思考這個承諾?羅馬的哲學家曾經說: 你必須知道你正往哪個海港航行,如果你正順著對的風向航行,但在現在的環境中,問題是在於很多人提到婚姻,許多的情侶都選擇航向錯的港灣:
有三種港灣:*理想的港灣--如果我結婚,從此會過著幸福快樂的日子*陪伴的港灣--我需要人陪,無法忍受一個人生活的日子*社會認同的港灣--我的家人和朋友一直問我"何時要定下來?何時要結婚?"上帝預備婚姻的目的?從創世紀開始就可以明白神的用意:
1.Mutually Completing One Another創世紀2:18 耶和華神說:那人獨居不好,我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。創世紀:2:19-22 耶和華神用土所造成的野地各樣走獸和空中各樣飛鳥都帶到那人面前,看他叫甚麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的活物,那就是他的名字。 那人便給一切牲畜和空中飛鳥、野地走獸都起了名;只是那人沒有遇見配偶幫助他。耶和華神使他沉睡,他就睡了;於是取下他的一條肋骨,又把肉合起來。耶和華神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人,領她到那人跟前。那人說:這是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉,可以稱她為女人,因為她是從男人身上取出來的。因此,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。
God's solution for Adam's need was to "make him a helper suitable for him",注意喔...這裡指的是"幫手"(helper)不是"僕人(servant)",to be called a helper here speaks more to the simple fact that God had plan for Adam that he could not fulfill without a mate-he was incomplete. Adam neede Eve. Also notice that this assage does not imply that every unmarried person is incomplete without a mate. All of us are created in the image of God and bring glory to God when we yield ourselves to His purpose and plan for our lives.

2.Multiplying a Godly Legacy
神就賜福給他們,又對他們說:要生養眾多,遍滿地面,治理這地,也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥,和地上各樣行動的活物。詩篇:127:3-5 兒女是耶和華所賜的產業;所懷的胎是他所給的賞賜。少年時所生的兒女好像勇士手中的箭。箭袋充滿的人便為有福;他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候,必不至於羞愧。對於神在婚姻的計畫中,有沒有小孩不是可以選擇而是神的命令,小孩不止是神的祝福與獎賞,更是神對婚姻計劃主要的部分,傳承神的話語. 雖然不是每對夫妻都能夠有自己的小孩,但卻是神給每對夫妻的旨意 ,因為,他在雅各中立法度,在以色列中設律法;是他吩咐我們祖宗要傳給子孫的,使將要生的後代子孫可以曉得;他們也要起來告訴他們的子孫,好叫他們仰望神,不忘記神的作為,惟要守他的命令。

3.Mirroring God's Image
神說:我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人,使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜,和全地,並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。神就照著自己的形像造人,乃是照著他的形像造男造女。
第三點,神創造我們去反映出祂的形象,意思是說,神選擇向我們顯示出祂的特質,無條件的愛,包容,接納,憐憫,忍耐...舉個例好了,當我們愛上ㄧ個人的時候,會反映出神所擁有的愛的關係,當我們選擇原諒並接納彼此,反應出上帝在基督裡是如何饒恕我們---以弗所書4:32 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。
為什麼很重要? 當一個男人和一個女人以上帝為中心來經營婚姻生活,將會在婚姻中使他們反映出神的形象!
讓我門思考婚姻的目的,最好的解答可以從"聖經"獲得,就如詩篇127:1若不是耶和華建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是耶和華看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒。
透過很多的分享,也讓我對婚姻有另一番的想法,不可像兒戲扮家家酒,不想玩了,就草草收場,接下來八周有不一樣的主題,除了這週即將分享的婚姻方程式外,還有溝通&期待,角色&責任,財務,和親密關係...最後一周是盛宴....
下一個單元: God's equation for marriage-when one plus one equal one..

Slow Me Down
- Emmy Rossum



Rushing and racing and running in circles
雖然我倉促競爭、追趕 卻仍在原地繞圈圈
Moving so fast, I’m forgetting my purpose
我的速度快到 盲目的忘了人生真正的目標
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning Getting nowhere
站在十字路口 繁忙的交通 我迷失了方法 不知何去何從
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
我的思緒 我的心思 糾纏與矛盾 且混亂
Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
我希望能夠停止 世界的步伐
Try to appear like I’ve got it together I’m falling apart
我嘗試表現出我可以掌握 但 我正在瓦解中
Save me Somebody take my hand, and lead me
拯救我吧!! 有誰能抓住我的手 帶領我

Slow me down
減慢我的速度
Don’t let love pass me by
別讓愛擦身而過
Just show me how
就告訴我 教我 我該怎麼做
’Cause I’m ready to fall
因為我已準備好墜入
Slow me down
減慢我的速度
Don’t let me live a lie
別讓我的生命是個謊言
Before my life flys by
在我的生命飛逝前
I need you to slow me down
我需要你來減慢我的速度

Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear
有時候我好害怕自己會消失
In the blur of fast forward I faulter again
在迷糊的快速前進中 我蹣跚而行
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep I’m getting nowhere
忘記了呼吸 我需要休息 哪也不想去
All that I’ve missed I see in the reflection
在倒影中 我看到了我錯過的美好事
Passed me while I wasn’t paying attention
在沒發現的一瞬間 擦身而去
Tired of rushing, racing and running
我厭倦了倉促 競爭和 追趕
I’m falling apart
我正在瓦解中
Tell me Oh won’t you take my hand and lead me
告訴我 你可以抓住我的手 帶領我嗎

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
世界的聲音 耽誤了我的旅程
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
分秒競爭 我盼望有天我可以停止
Just need to breathe, somebody please Slow me down
我只需要呼吸 誰可以來減慢我的速度

What a wonderful day!

Thanks to my cool teacher Yim for giving this wonderful chance! Thank God :D
My teacher is really an awesome master! How luck I am to have a chance seeing the whole course of live recording and I am so proud to be his student! :D



今天真的是好充實的一天!! 下課後老師說待會要開拍電視錄影,很幸運的老師對我說留下來幫忙,還說甚麼見習,哈,其實我是又多上了豐富的一課哩! 真的很感謝謙虛的冉老師! :)



老師真的很厲害,對著鏡頭可以延綿不絕的講3-4個鐘頭,雖說是看著畫作介紹,但老師文學素養真的是極高! 尤其歷史更是在行,對歷史總是不及格的我來說,實是敬佩萬分! 從俄國的文學作家到中國史記,還有創作女媧補天、玄奘西方取經'''到現代創作的生活寫照或是愛情,雖然很多都聽老師跟我說過,但還是百聽不厭啊!每次聽總有另一番收穫,真好! 不禁嘆息,我何時才能有這樣的涵養呢? 呵呵... 主啊!請祢賜我屬天的智慧與口才!阿們!



整個下午參與小小小小工作人員的我,發現錄影真的是件苦差事,光是打燈場佈,導演他們就花了將近1個小時,好險老師不需甚麼彩排,除了中間些許中場休息與畫面上或口說介紹上討論小訂正,老師的口才真的是猶如流水般暢順! 開拍延續到晚上班的同學都來了,害我很不好意思,因為認識我的人都問,阿你怎麼突然來晚上班,其實我從頭到尾根本就不曉得是怎麼一回事,下午才知到晚上會訪問一些同學:談談你心目中的冉老師!唉呀..真擔心被誤會! 所以有一些同學會接受30秒錄影訪問,而導演還是要我上去說幾句,基於為了幫冉師站台,我也戰戰兢兢、緊緊張張地說了不知到幾十秒,這幾十秒對我來說感覺超久的,明明有好多話要說,對著鏡頭就腦中一片空白,這時就想起老師真是厲害,對著鏡頭一樣穩若泰山,還可談笑風生!



今晚我一定又會帶著笑意入夢鄉了!
感謝親切可愛的冉爸對我這麼好! 也感謝上帝爸爸為我預備的一切!
我怎麼這麼幸福呢! I Love you,Heavenly Father!
繼續加加油! ;)

In need

Tonight 3E was good,Rick's speeches always impress many people:) Thank God!
After the group time Cassie was so sweet,she said to me,Hope,I wanna say a chinese sentence to you. I said,Yes! Then she said slowly and sincerely," Ni shi wo de hao peng you ". It means "you are my good friend." Then I...hahahahahahaha.... it really made me giggle.. a long laugh. I have to confirm that her pronunciation was so clear and correct. Then she said that she also can write those chinese words,and that was incredible. She did write them down and show me. My point is that she and Ryan just learned Chinese by themself with tape and book lately. This case motivates me to learn english more harder. Fortuitously,tonight one friend just invited me to join the study group.We are going to make a goal and appointment that inspiring each other to study intently.
I am worry about my economy now.You know my studio is ready to be closed,although it still has 2 teaching classes will be continued until I go abroad.I don't wannt to use the deposit.So I need more students come to the 2 classes,and then I can pay the art lesson. And I need more self-confident and concentration. Thanks for that I am already in your prayers.Love you~ Hope everything is going well and the God whthin.

Teach us to count our days that we gain a wise heart. -Psalm 90:12

Yesteday night my teacher Eric shared a book which is called "The Prophet" with us that shook me. I was curiously what the book tells. In the class going he talked about truth and lie that was good. more thinking.. Originally I thought the tuition of this cram school is too expensive for me,but I knew that God wants me to take it. So I took the lesson. Now I realized that God prepared me to this cram school for learning english and also prepared good english teacher for me. Not only does he teach english,but also talk about some different opinions of the thoughts and minds that it might leads to the understanding of God. Next I'd share what this book wants to give us with you if I have read it. It's just my second time taking the class. I hope my english study can come along well and hope I can get a good Toefl test score .


Lord,thank you for your unbounded grace. Help us see your purpose in all things and see that being with you is more precious than gold. Teach us to enjoy the gift of life you have given us and each moment is unique. Amen.




La mme histoire 《相同的故事》

Quel est donc ce lien entre nous
cette chose indfinissable?
o vont ces destins qui se nouent
Pour nous rendre insparables?

那麼,是什麼無法解釋的東西
連繫著你我?
那反覆交錯分不開的命運
又將帶我們到什麼地方?

On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gr du vent ...
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies , nos amours
On s’en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la mme histoire...

我們順著風、
隨著時間前進…
我們日復一日活在
我們的慾望,我們的愛情中
不斷前進卻不知道
我們始終
活在相同的故事裡...

Quel est donc
Ce qui nous spare
Qui par hasard nous runit?
Pourquoi tant d’allers, de dparts
Dans cette ronde infinie?

那麼,到底是什麼
將我們分開
又讓我們偶然地再度相遇?
為什麼在這個無止盡地迴圈裡
有那麼多邂逅、分離?

On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gr du vent .. ainsi..
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s’en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la mme histoire...
La mme histoire...

我們順著風、
隨著時間前進…
我們日復一日活在
我們的慾望,我們的愛情中
不斷前進卻不知道
我們始終
活在相同的故事裡..
相同的故事...

On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies ,nos amours
On s’en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la mme histoire

我們日復一日活在
我們的慾望,我們的愛情中
不斷前進卻不知道
我們始終
活在相同的故事裡..

Keep drawing

970603. nude - pencile


感謝主今天讓我有所得!
謝謝老師教我更深的東西,明白了自己必須花時間在人體結構上瞭解的更徹底,自從喜歡畫人之後,我更是越來越喜歡畫人。 我很享受在人體的動態變化中,重複不斷地重新捕捉美的那種感覺; 也知道繼續畫下去是一段很長的路,但越是深研進去,越是在裡頭充滿喜樂; 越是專研進去,越是明白上帝的真理。
Art藝術只是The Truth of Christ中一種知識智慧,因著每個人都有自己的興趣與熱愛,而上帝是讓我熱愛寫實繪畫藝術,並從中學習如何吸取與感受美的能力,如何因為挫折,尋求祂的面,尋求解答,而把榮耀歸於主。 There was someone who told me that "Art is only one flavor of wisdom; Each flavor is the same in that it leads to the understanding of God." Indeed.
It's all about you,Jesus! For your glory and fame!

文章分享

從前有一個農夫,他有一塊貧瘠的農田,他抱怨著:「如果神讓我來控制天氣,一切的事情都會變得更好,因為祂很顯然的不是很懂農耕。」
神對他說:「我會給你一年的時間讓你控制天氣;你想要有什麼天氣就可以有什麼天氣。」
這個可憐的人變得非常高興然後馬上說:「我現在要晴天。」然後太陽就出來了。後來他又說:「下雨吧!」然後就下雨了。這一整年他就這樣先讓陽光出現然後再下雨。種子越長越大,看著農作物的成長變成了一種快樂。他很得意的說:「現在神可以了解如何控制天氣了吧!」這些農作物從來沒有那麼大、那麼綠、顏色綠得那麼深。
然後豐收的時候到了。農夫帶著他的鐮刀去收割小麥,但是他的心沉到了谷底。因為植物的莖上面什麼都沒有。神去找他:「你的農作物怎樣了?」 這個人開始抱怨:「很慘,我的主啊,非常慘!」 「但是你不是控制了天氣嗎?你想要的東西不是都變得很好嗎?」 「當然!這那就是我困惑的地方,我得到了我想要的雨水與陽光,但是還是沒有收成。」
然後神對他說:「但是你從來沒有要求風、暴雨、冰雪以及每一件會淨化空氣與讓根更堅硬、更有抵抗力的東西啊?那就是長不出農作物的理由。」 只有經歷挑戰才可能有生命。只有當你擁有好天氣與壞天氣、喜悅與痛苦、冬天與夏天、沮喪與快樂、不適與舒服才可能有生命。
生命在這兩極之間移動。在這兩極之間你就學到了如何保持平衡。在這兩隻翅膀間你就學到了如何去生活。
