    工作Job

    工作的目的是什麼呢? 為了成就感還是為了生活?
     
    在我來說,現在這份工作是興趣也是責任,所以怎麼樣維持熱情及發展興趣很重要。
     
    我往往因為一些小事就感到挫折,一定要有明確的目標努力向前衝。
     
    個人目標與事業目標現在好像結合在一起,在美國設立分公司是必走的路,我想搬回美國也是不爭的事實,該怎麼平衡及拿捏分寸真的好難~
     
    唯一慶幸的是,這一切都在上帝的掌管當中,我只是作工的僕人,盡力了就明白了。
     
    What's the purpose of the job? For accomplishment or for life?
     
    For the current job, it's really both interest and responsibility. It's crucial to keep my passion and develop my interests.
     
    Sometimes I feel frustrated easily and need very specific goals to pursue.
     
    It seems that my personal and career goal become one. Setting an entity in US and moving back to US. Sometimes it's hard to balance and be objective.
     
    The only good thing is that everything is in God's hands. I am the worker and servant in the world. When I try my best, I will understand God's plan.

    Dream?

    Just cancelled my trip to Englnad....
    It seems meaningless to travel when my grandmother is sick. Not to mention that the graduation ceremony is like a money making event. Perhaps I should just take that piece of paper and forget about going there.
     
    To be honest, the most frustrating thing is that there is no hope to see Daniel before Sep 30. I wonder if God will show me mercy and bring him over or send me over before that. I feel like walking in a dark and long turnel and it takes forever to see light.
     
    Nobody can tell me what to do until they put their faith to test.
     
    Isaiah 55:6-9

     6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;
           call on him while he is near.

     7 Let the wicked forsake his way
           and the evil man his thoughts.
           Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
           and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

     8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
           neither are your ways my ways,"
           declares the LORD.

     9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
           so are my ways higher than your ways
           and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    Miss

    我記得你眼裡的依戀 by 萬芳
     
     
    Today at the concert, they invited Wang Fang, one of my favorite singers. I cannot help thinking of Daniel. Yes, we are doing long-distance, which may not be easy, but why do we care about what other people think? As long as I am clear about what I am doing and I think it's worth it. In this world, only God is the One we have to please and follow.
     
    Pray that I can give myself to God and be abiding in Him.
     
    I will not regret.

    走在紅塵俗世間 誰的呼喚飄在耳邊
    那麼熟悉卻又遙遠 為什麼痴心兩處總難相見

    徘徊在起風的午夜 誰的嘆息飄在風間
    那麼無奈卻又無悔 多少前世殘夢留待今生圓

    就算換了時空變了容顏 我依然記得你眼裡的依戀
    縱然聚散由命也要用心感動天

    就算換了時空你變了容顏 我依然記得你眼裡的依戀
    縱然難續前世也要再結今生緣

    Crossroad

    人生原來是這麼的複雜 
    我原來是這麼的過度樂觀
     
    每個人的人生旅程都得自己走
    我的人生又跟誰的相連呢?
     
    Never Give Up! 從來沒想過這句話有多大的意義,直到自己走到了人生的低谷
    才明白,原來每張笑臉底下,可能都有一段故事
     
    曾經我以為我擁有全世界,擁有與失去原來只是一線之隔
    曾經我是這樣的追逐著世界,現在才發現原來全世界不都是我要的
    那些我真心想擁有的,又可否留在手中呢??
     
    回頭看自己成長歲月,只能說感謝神!
    我希望曾經擁有的美好回憶,能夠支持我走下去

    Quiet Time

    It is important to have quiet time with God. Recently, I feel so tired and sometimes lost in the world. Life is not that easy as I imagined, mixed with bitterness and happiness. The past week has been life-changing experience and taught me many things. I started to think from different perspectives and cherish more about everything in my life. I am so blessed to have mentors, friends, and family. Although I am weak, God is strong. No matter what path God leads me to, I know that He will be with me.

    Marriage Vows

    Marriage vows are promises a couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony.

    Civil ceremonies often allow couples to choose their own marriage vows, although many civil marriage vows are adapted from the traditional vows, taken from the Book of Common Prayer, "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."

    Source: Wikipedia

    Marriage vows seem to be far, but indeed kind of close to me. One of my good freinds from high school is getting married in March. I start to think how people decide to get into marriage. When I think about it, I know I am still immature. Marriage is my dream and I would make efforts to walk towards it with him.

    It's Official

    Yesterday we made it official on facebook that Daniel and I are in a relationship. Smile
     
    We also shared in our small group, which turned out to be a great blessing! Our friends are not surprised and very supportive!
    Before I met Danial, I never thought I would find someone that I feel so comfortable to be with and drawn to. I know it will be a path we have to walk and work together. The amazing thing is that I know I can trust him and we are open to communicate and share with each other.
     
    Just want to share my happiness with you, my friends.
     
    God's grace is always sufficient.

    Dream

    This past weekend is just like a dream for me.
    My prayer is answered! God is amazing!
     
    He show me more than I expected. My friends and family should be happy for me! Open-mouthed

    Weak

    It has been a long time that I felt this kind of feeling...
    Like I am almost out of control.
     
    I think I am very very weak, since I made my decision to follow the Lord.
    It's tough and I have no way to do but rely on God.
     
    Or maybe it's because of Chinese New Year? A lonely one...
     
    Hope all of my friends & family have a great Chinese New Year! Hot

    Wish

    I seem to have too many wishes for life.
     
    I am always tired recently, because I am busy all the time...
     
    I know it is not good, but I still enjoy doing it. My body sometimes complains...
     
    Next year, I want to do so many things; serving in church, short term trip, taking classes, etc. Of course, I work full-time.
     
    Pray that God will guide me and give me wisdom when I have to give up or say no to some people. Smile

    想念

    昨晚不知為何,夢見了一位好久好久沒有連絡的朋友Paul Chang,夢見我們一起看煙火表演,很開心地聊天。
     
    曾經,他與我分享了許多高中時代成長的掙扎、對未來的美好想像,也教會我體貼和關心,但卻因為我作了一個錯誤的決定,使我們的友情不能繼續。
     
    但那曾經有過的美好記憶仍是在我心裡,對這段友情只有無限感激,希望他現在一切都好。

    如果有時光機的話,真想回到高一高二時看看那時的自己。

    承認

    今天突然才明白,原來自己是個膽小鬼,不敢承認那樣大膽的行徑及瘋狂的青春,更不敢承認自己曾經犯過的錯或受過的傷。
    也許是這樣,才會無法往前,也無法改變。
    原來自己不是大而化之、更不是那樣健忘,只是沒辦法在當下處理那樣的挫折,自尊把一切都拋在腦後,留待時間處理這傷口,幸好,時間終究讓我明白了、承認了事實。
     
    明白之後,心情好輕鬆,承認自己曾經很傻,自己曾經有過那樣特別的回憶,似乎也沒什麼不好,相反地,還很值得驕傲呢!
    未來,應該能夠坦白面對,無畏又開心地走下去吧~~

    Lessons to Learn

    This trip back to Taiwan is not pure enjoyment.
     
    There are still a lot of lessons to learn, to learn the blance of life and work, to learn the time management, and to make decisions in order to move on.
     
    The world will not run as I like or expected, just as God's will is never our will. Although I felt frustrated, I know I have to move on and learn from mistakes.
     
    Hopefully, I can enjoy the process of growing up a little bit more.

    I am Home

    Finally, after 26-hr travel, I am home.
     
    There is no place like home.
    It seems to be the first time that I feel the desire to be home and see my family.
    Working makes me think more mature and treasure the time with family. It is really a blessing that I can come home for 11 days.
     
    If you want to talk to me, feel free to call my TW cell number.
    So gald to be in Taiwan! Open-mouthed

    一輩子

    看了朋友的個人版寫到「聊天、聊天、一直聊天」,她覺得聊不完的話題也許就是兩個人在一起一輩子的原因。
     
    一輩子是多久呢?
    兩個人要在一起一輩子又需要什麼條件?
    我曾經猜不少的答案,但總是不能明白。
     
    天父給的生命長短是不能掌握的,但是要好好的活著,為了重要的事情活著。
     
    最近發生一些事,讓我想了很多,開始覺得有些事情不如就放下吧,感情的事真的太難…也許永遠都不會懂。
    而我在所能掌握的小小世界裡就繼續打拼吧!

    Good News

    今天又聽到一則好消息! Jerry跟 Pat又要抱孫子了!
    這是繼上上星期好友 Anja 懷孕的喜訊後另一則! 大家都很努力地經營著婚姻及家庭,上帝也很賜福。
     
    對於目前的生活,我非常的滿意,有很好的工作,好同事+好上司,在美國的華人教會及美國教會都有朋友,好像就可以一直安穩下去。
    未來的家庭在哪、未來的生活會是如何? 我想我必須再多點耐心,才能明白上帝的帶領。
     
    只是最近一直很累,忙著許多的事情,不同的Bible Study對於單身生活來說是好的,我又不想為了朋友而妥協,總是因此很忙碌,希望我能更有智慧處理自己的時間。
    真想到戶外去走走,離開城市及文明的生活一下下,看看造物主的傑作。
     
    接下來的時間表也很緊,4/25-5/7回台灣出差,會待在台中,對於那些台北的朋友,我只能說聲抱歉。
    7/3-7/9要到舊金山去參加慕主先鋒教會的夏令會,順便拜訪蔡政憲老師一家,感謝主讓我能順利請假。
     
    九月就是我負責的專案在芝加哥發表的日子,希望一切都能順利!

    情人節

    想念一年前的這一天,我們度過一個特別的情人節。
    那樣一個美麗的小鎮,夢幻的不像真實。
     
    我們在英國相遇相知相惜,許多生命中的情節竟也如此相似。
    我向來是個飄泊不定的人,很想能安定下來,陪著妳、陪著我在乎的人,但再捨不得也只能被人生推著走。
     
    在英國的日子裡,感謝有那些美好的回憶。
    一年過去,幸好有妳溫柔的安慰。
     
    有些事情還是只能放下,才能更寬廣。

    原來如此

    原來,成長是無止盡的。
     
    曾經以為自己已經強壯地能接受任何挑戰,真正遇上了還是潰敗。
     
    原來,距離愈近有好也有壞。
     
    曾經以為的天真無邪也會過去,該長大的時候還是得面對。
     
    原來,「為你好」是一個每個人都會用的藉口。
     
    曾經以為自己很努力就能討好所有人,其實還是自以為是的自私著。
     
    原來如此。

    感恩的日子

    昨天跟今天,好像是在為自己的過去跟現在留下些什麼。
     
    昨天早上一早就去衛道找以前的老師跟高中同學(現在任教),很難得地走了校園一圈,想起青澀的從前,這次不是用懷念感傷的心情,而是用珍惜的心情把那樣曾有的美好收藏起來。
    以前的那些不成熟,似乎都可以遺忘、原諒。 與歷史老師聊到未來,她這次仍是很認真地聽我說著未來,鼓勵我前進的腳步,笑笑地說她還沒有要退休,我有空可以寫信給她,高中畢業七年了還是念念不忘那份真誠的師生情感,每回放假就要厚顏去找老師聊天。妙珠老師教我最多的是作事情的態度跟邏輯思考,讓我覺得我會變成工作狂,有一半是她的影響 XD
    這次離開台灣,要面對的是很大的挑戰,但希望是笑著勇敢前進!!
     
    昨天中午跟曉慧吃飯,聊了好多事情,也想起了國中的事情,那時傻傻的自己、單純的生活也很好呢! 從國中畢業以後就開始很忙很有目標的生活,國中之前還真是無憂無慮呢。
    今天中午跟超人老師約好要一起吃飯,老師很體諒我、知道我很忙,前幾星期都沒找我,但我知道出國前是一定要再見見老師的,看見老師那樣沉穩就覺得很有平靜的力量,跟老師談起最近的感觸,看了不少朋友、不少風景,很感動、也有些不捨,有時累過頭了還得安慰自己會成長,老師像是另一個爸爸很慈祥包容地看著我成長,聊到高中的事情,他彷彿也在回憶著在衛道那二十多年的時光,眼眶微微泛著淚光,看見老師一切都健康平安,心中滿是感謝,感謝主讓我有這三個月的假期能與老師從無話不談的筆友變成忘年之交。臨走前,老師又是照例等我發動車子,目送我離開,從後照鏡看到老師堅定的身影,那一刻真的很感動,心中明白這次是帶著滿滿的祝福而去。
     
    今晚流了不少的眼淚、也多了好多回憶,因為教會小組的朋友約好要來我家烤肉,讓我終於有機會介紹這群好朋友給家人認識,敏惠、建達、凡珊、涵真、鈺穎、孟格、景玉跟毓白。還有受邀前來的麗菁、靖詒、小姑、乾爹、乾媽,真的好開心! 感謝主,今天晚上的食物充足,點心更是一掃而空,最後沒想到建達提出要講祝福我的話,靖詒一說完,就忍不住掉淚,謝謝大家的祝福,我會放在心底,化為我前進的勇氣,曾經我很想要有姐妹,妳們實現了我的願望!
    感謝主,讓我能認識大家,也謝謝大家的包容,雖然我一直跑來跑去、但真的很開心在東海靈糧堂能有這樣一個超棒的家跟家人,期盼去美國後,主為我預備一個像家一般的教會。
     
    剩下兩天多的時間,求主保守我的心及我身邊的人,都能平安喜樂。

    要努力幸福

    這三個月在家裡休息,許多人都問我作了什麼事? 當保母是我的正職,四處訪友吃飯是副業,寫東西辦文件是消遣。一整個打破了我認真的形象。
    不過,我還是很忙,為了很多奇怪的小事忙,也是第一次覺得放空其實很好很舒服,只除了偶爾會有一點點愧疚跟當米蟲的不安。
     
    在家裡每天能看到可愛的小弟,跟對我永遠很好的爸媽感覺很幸福,只是這樣的幸福要長久,是要努力的呢!
     
    其實我明白,我一直被保護得很好,很多事情我因此可以選擇不去看、不去面對,但是到了美國工作,很多都要學習,要學會保護自己、努力成長。
    過去的我很多事情看不清楚,總是衝動行事,週圍的人還是包容我、提醒著我,我也會怕一個人奮戰的孤單,不過既然是走在主所預備的道路上,一定能勝過的。
    Royal wedding 001
    未來的幸福是值得學習、努力且等待的。
     
    兩年後亞洲再見。
