Seeing and thankful

自從成人的繪畫教學以來,上帝爸爸不斷的讓我看到祂的奇妙的作為,無論是在我身上的,或是在學生身上的,真的感謝主讓我倚靠祂得著力量與智慧!

最感謝的是我明白的看見,祂在我身上所作的工,不單是我個人的益處而是同樣要造就他人,我看見天父在我出國前,使我成為祂的器皿去宣揚祂的國,以自然的表現態度與環境去傳揚祂的福音。真的好奇妙,因著興趣來畫室學畫的學生們,幾乎都開始認識上帝,他們願意認識也樂談上帝,我看見他們開始禱告,我看見他們分享禱告時所帶給他們的喜悅與平安,也許生活有很多苦楚、也遭遇難題、甚至是難以得到的希望,但因著這些需要,神將他們帶到這裡,使學習的畫室環境變成ㄧ個愛的團契,也讓他們每個禮拜都帶著期待歡喜的心來,喔,感謝天父,我愛祢。

尤其是每個星期三,我都覺得自己享受在神的國度裡,享受繪畫的喜悅,看到學生解決一個問題的喜悅,聆聽與分享他們生活當中的趣事,因他們都比我年長,也讓我學習到很多不同領域的範疇與見識,漸漸有了亦師亦友的氛圍,而這正是我跟上帝所祈求的,我想要以我自己的方式、個人自然的方式併上帝的工與愛來教學,而且我求上帝引領,我求上帝擴張祂自己的境界也曠張我的,因為我相信我在祂裡面,祂也在我裡面,我必勝任那些艱難的。真的是這樣,雖然12點半該下課,但學生們常總是不想早離開,常常也會有個姊妹跟我聊天聊到傍晚4、5點,分享心得,然後一起祝福禱告。 雖然我知道時間都被消磨了,但我真的很喜歡每個星期三的教學,因為有上帝的同在,讓每個人心裡都感到平靜、充滿喜樂! 我相信這也是上帝也賞賜給我的禮物!

真的好感謝親愛的阿爸父,感謝上帝的應許也帶領這一切,雖然認識上帝爸爸與了解甚麼是愛,有可能是我這一生都要學習的功課,也有可能跌跌撞撞的,也仍是常犯錯,但每個過程都是寶貴、都是有我所要習得領會的,也是為了記念祂,將榮耀歸給祂。每次事情的發生,我會求上帝讓我看見祂,求聖靈光照、賜我智慧明白祂的心意,因此也更明白等待也是一種學習的功課,為甚麼有時候天父直接對我說話?為甚麼有時候甚麼都聽不到祂的聲音? 無論如何,我習得到的是,都要堅定的相信,因為神深愛著我,祂知道甚麼對我是最好的,所以將一切又交託出去給祂,因為祂掌管這一切。

也因上帝說萬事皆互相效益,叫愛神的人得益處,每件事情的發生,都有上帝的美意,無論是好是壞,應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、感謝、祈求,將一切心裡所想或是所要的告訴神。神所賜出人意外的平安,必在基督耶穌裡,保守我們的心懐意念,因為祂是信實、公義的神。

所以我要不斷的禱告、不停的禱告感謝讚美主,我要大大的求主、阿爸父來大大祝福我的家人、我的朋友,如果你也願意,我們一起來禱告,因為阿爸父垂聽我們每一個禱告,無論它是小、是大,甚至只是呼求祂的名耶穌基督,祂都聽見也都看見我們每個人的需要。真的,幾次我都忘了我做過甚麼樣的禱告,但上帝仍成就了那些事情,因為上帝是萬能的,且無條件的愛我們,我們會忘記,但只要是屬神心意的,祂都記得,也會加倍賜福給你! 怕的只是我們拒絕祂要給我們豐豐厚厚的祝福,或是我們沒有禱告向祂支取祝福。所以我們要大大的向祂
支取祝福,因為這是天父應許也樂意要給我們的豐豐厚厚的福,一樣也少不了,還會多給喔。^ ^


主啊!孩子感謝祢,感謝祢是這麼地愛我們每一個人,求祢也將祢真實、寶貴的愛賜給那些需要的人,求祢親自來動工,讓他們看到自己的軟弱、也看見祢美善的旨意,開啟他們的心渴望來真認識祢,明白真理,支取祢要加添的福氣。無論是在家庭和樂、人際關係、職場或是學習、人生道路、身心健康、感情婚姻....上,主啊! 孩子將這些都帶到祢的面前,求祢來掌管這一切並大大祝福,因為祢是富足的又賜喜樂、平安的神,求祢使我們在經濟上的缺乏、生活上的困難、工作上的問題...都因著祢的幫助與引領得到解決,有好的理財方式,且讓我們仍可以靠著祢喜樂,睡眠也不影響。主啊! 求祢也讓我們在任何團契裡,無論是家中、公司裡、任何場合中,能夠彼此付出真誠的關心、真實的彼此相愛,甚至關係獲得改善。也赦免我們一切的過犯,醫治一切心靈的不平安或是身體的疾病。也求祢大大的祝福我們的感情婚姻生活,求祢賜給我們健康、幸福、美滿的婚姻感情、並充滿著祢的愛。慈愛的天父,祢說凡祈求的就得著、尋求的就尋見、叩門的就給他開門。祢是信實又垂聽禱告的神,求祢成就祢的應許並加添恩典,大大賞賜那豐豐厚厚的福給我們! 孩子感謝、讚美祢! 我們禱告、祈求是奉主耶穌基督的名,阿們!


Why worry 

Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray

*Why worry
There should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way (*)

寶貝,我看到這個世界使你悲傷
有些人真的很壞
對於他們的言行舉止
但是寶貝,我會拭去那苦澀的淚水
趕走那無盡的恐懼
那恐懼使你的藍天佈滿陰霾

何必煩惱?
痛苦過後就是歡笑
大雨過後就是天晴
事情就是這樣
所以,何必煩惱?

寶貝,當我失意時,我就來到你身旁
你了解我的所作所為
我知道那不難說出口
但是寶貝,當這世界似乎冰冷無情
我們的愛放射出金黃亮麗的光芒
什麼都可以拋在一旁

Happy Birthday,my friends!




Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
It's such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true




so check out the viedeo! ha.. just had fun.

For Judy and Cassie! :)

A sketch of oil painting


nude - a process of oil painting training.(27x22cm)

I still haven't finished it in time :p,but I love the colors that I did today. I think that I might get some understandings on it. :-)
I do hope I can have more time to keep painting and drawing before I go abord,but there seems to be many things are coming over me. Well,I'll work hard and cheer up! I think that it will soon be over,because of the faith in Christ. Go!go!go!

my love will get you home

If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
Get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
Get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashame, my love will get you home.
If its only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
Get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
Get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

Boy, my love will get you home.


This Song is for my future husband. I often pray for him although I don't know who he is. But I have a feeling that he was having a difficult time now. In order to keep the memory of it before the Lord,I sing this song for him with the spirt of God. Hope he can feel it and know that God loves him and is with him always.

"Father, I said, 'Til death do us part' - I want to mean it. Help me love You more than him, and him more than anyone or anything else. Help me bring him into Your presence today. Make us one, like you are three-in-one. I want to hear him, support him, and serve him - So he would love You more and we can bring You glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Also,I pray for the marriage of all of my single sisters and friends. Although I feel embarrassed when I do it here,I woulk like to pray for all of you.

"Thank you Lord for blessing our marriages. Please teach us how to make You the center of our marriages. Help us to establish and grow the love Christ in us to show each other kindness, trust, patience, forgiveness and divine love. Help us Lord to honor the qualities of our mate. Teach us how to pray for our spouse. Bless us to not only cherish one another, but nourish each other's dreams and spiritual gifts. Bless our union to grow stronger, wiser, peaceful and committed. Bring into our circle of friends, examples of healthy committed marriages. Let our children, family and friends see Christ through our example. Dear Lord,we put our marriages into Your hands. Thank you for listening to my prayers.In Jesus' name. Amen.

Wish

970904 oil painting- my beautiful younger sis.. I haven't finished it yet.

My younger sister has already finished her tests about real estate. oh.. finally, I can do her portrait that I have looked forward to for a long time but I had to wait until she finished all of tests. Today I spent a lot of time to paint her,but I was still unable to make it well. I kept changing the composition of the picture. see, the original one is like this..

But I felt there is something wrong with it,I don't know.. somehow I changed it .. hope that I can finish it and make it well done. :-)

It's really good to have sisters in my family and life and have your supports. I love all of you and thank you so much. Thank God,too!



Dreaming of You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are thinking of me too
Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me and I
wonder if you know I'm there (am I there, am I?)
If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close but so far
all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day (wait for the day)
to take the courage to say
how much I love you Yes I do

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
dreaming about you and me

Corazón
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Cómo te necesito
Mi amor, como te extraño Sweetheart

(*I can't stop thinking of youHow I need you.My love, how I miss you)

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
that you came up to me and said
I love you
I love you too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow (till tomorrow) and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
Dreaming with you endlessly
