Thankful Yr 2008

Year 2008 is another yr full of God's grace, although there had been very painful / tough moments. (Yes, being a Christian does not mean you dun hv bad things but God has assured that He is w/ me and I dun hv to be afraid! and he's carrying me thru' all these!)

A few specific items to give thanks:
1. Work - a great team to work with - 4 smart and energetic young men + a very understanding boss in my old team and a very nice new dept now!

2. Church - a very rewarding serving role in f/p. Seems like I didn't do much but God has made it grow, both in size and bonding. Thx my dear b/s for your support!

3. Personal - God has given me and Hin a very lovely gift. She's now almost 28 wk old and I got to know that she weigh 3 lbs now!! Very healthy little baby! Yeah!!!!

"Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshu 1:9

Dec 6, 08 - 好大个肚!!

New Office

Office moved to Wan Chai since Dec and now I have a new teammates/ boss and working environment. Things seems okay except workload is still a lot plus I have to walk uphills for 10mins every morning, which is heavy for a mom carrying a 26wk- old-baby.

I have to push hard on 11pm sleeping schedule so that my baby will keep this habit when she comes out.

Father, need to rely on you since I have a lot of limitations physically, emotionally and family issues plus daily work. Amen.

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me." Psalms 23:4

這個世界有沒有公平?

"從人的眼光,有些人作了傷害別人的事,仍然安然無事,甚至大富大貴,而回看自已,要花很多努力,才有所謂應有的成果,歷盡耕辛,為人正直就会俾人害,唔公平!!!"

Really? This conclusion may just come up too early when we put our perspective from God at Eternity. When the judgment day comes, nobody can stand in front of Him(everyone is a sinner, no matter "big" or "small" sin) , including myself. How can I comment on others' "behaviors" while I'm also one of them?我沒有資格.

我是神用他兒子Jesus宝血重價買贖回來的,他這样愛我,難道他会對我不好嗎? Have Faith in Him!

況且人所謂的快牙,成功,是建基在你有多少財產($$$,洋房,名車),career(年薪??),是否professional qualification? 一个Financail Crisis, these things may worth just a piece of paper! 如果一个人是從一張"resume"去measure, 人的價值未免太冷漠,膚淺了!

I would rather treasure the time and relationship with my family, friends and most important with my Heavenly Father who cares me so much, who is the only one capable to fill up my emptiness inside my heart, for this is far more eternal, precious and solid in my life.

人若賺得全世界,卻賠上自己的生命又有什麼意思呢?

米埔

This is a very pretty nature place. Worth to visit the beautiful creation by God.

Does God exist?

Got a meaningful story in sermon today:

A hair dresser talked to his client, "I dun believe in God. If He exists, why are there so many ppl suffering different pain?"

The men did not response to his comment and remain silent. When he finished and opened the door to leave, he saw a person with dirty and long long hair across the street. Running back to the hair dresser, he said, "Hair dresser does not exist on earth."

The hair dress was astonished, claiming that he was the hair dresser and he was there!

The men asked, "if you were the hair dress, then how come the person across street would have not have clean and tidy hair?"

"Just coz' these ppl do not come to ask for my help. That's why they have dirty and long hair", said by the hair dresser.

"That is the point! People suffer does not mean that God does not exist. It coz' they have not asked for Jesus' help."

I believe God always welcome us to come to Him and taste for Him goodness.

My bday Gift !!

Thank you Hin !

Updates

It's almost 20 weeks now and my preg life is beginning to settle. I'm learning to rely on God each day to handle my daily work with my very limited physical strength. Getting tired very easily and it's very rush go get to bed by 11pm. Hee hee, my life become very heathly and rountine now. More quiet/ relax moment indeed.

I begin to feel my baby's movement in my tummy now. He/she responsed to the father's talk last night! Interesting! (The father was very proud of this!!!) Baby, I can't wait to know whether you are my prince or princess.

Thanks God for this lovely gift brought to my family. ^o^

神聽禱告

終於到了3個月了! 可以放鬆一點.

實在要將呢件事記下來,感謝天父聽禱告,原本一直擔心自已身體不好(連醫生也說沒有這樣容易),未必可以,但神祢卻賜了呢個生命給我們,而且除了tired一點以外也不算太辛苦! 主!感謝祢!

雖然我的考試工作planning要delay,不知怎算,但主祢有最好的安排,就放心吧!(或許可以不用上班哩!呵呵!發夢太早了!)

派單張

早兩個星期,團契去了維xxxx園派佈導會單張. 感謝神,過程比我想像中順利. 由於剛下完雨.天氣沒有太悶熱,人也不算太多! ‧以為會有很的人拒絕收到單張,或一聽到耶穌呢個名會立即拒絕,原來也不是,感謝神給我呢個傳福音的機會,這個世界有很多人需要主的愛哩! 最令我感動的是有個人竟然主動找其中一組姊妹叫她們汫出她們怎樣感受到主的愛,小小的派單張神也會用哩!

hee hee, 更重要的是今次是我跟黎BB第一次一起事奉神!!

My family Pic - Cool~~

Moving into new flat!

Finally, things BEGIN to settle as my Internet comes back after 3 wks waiting. I have not finished unpacking and my house is still very messy..but u know, it's just too tired to clean up after work plus too busy in going out in wkd. Haha~

GZ Camp

This is my 3rd time joining this event. I'm very impressed by every student's hard work at school, their mature attitude and their appreciation to life and to CornerStone's sponsorship. I'm also very proud to be part of the volunteer team, pals you are all great to work w/!! I'm also very thankful that Father, you've dedicated your dear servants, Principal Chiu and Tat "shu" who have been serving you in this ministry for 10+ yrs loyally. I deeply touched by this (they are old men but they did a lot of things for us!!!)

I also thank God for giving me a chance to share my belief w/ them. Father thank you the things I have and thanks for the exceptional love - we love because you first love us.

I have to thank my dear husband for spending the days and to serve w/ me despite the language barrier. Thanks for your exceptional patientce, loyal serving as IT guy and to be w/ me, Hin!

The gal in first pic (in light green) is my roommate when I join this camp in 2006. The gal in 2nd pic is my roommat this yr. They are both very cute!

Meet my buddy!

June 13-15 Bangkok

A very relaxing trip!
Thanks God for the nice swimming, nice weather (not very hot), super nice food, plus my husband lost sth real impt BUT he found it at last!!! Yeah!

Sigh, too bad the tradeoff is >> extremely busy at work.

P&P Wedding

Family Portrait

It was our first time to take family picture at professional photo gallery. Hee hee, seems like everyone of us had very stiff facial expression. Will go to see the printouts next Thursday. Hope that we won't need to spend extra money. This is a free gift from my company's annual dinner last yr.

A good way to relief stress...

Extremely funny, 100% reflection of reality at workplace and home..hohohoho

Finally, it's over!

Hope my "marathon-like" exam life can be put to an end after all these. Give thanks to the Lord which carried me through when I was frustrated, sick and tired.

Now, time for a crazy schedule~
Strawberry picking, family pictures, facial+shopping+hair cut, hang out w/ friends, church, wedding, Bangkok...etc. and most important of all, anyone interested in going to cooking class w/ me???

Devotion Sharing - Loyal Servant

Matt 24:45-51

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns..."

I think I need to prepare for Jesus' coming back at any time. Apart from the many daily tasks, gotta stay focus on what God has given me my role (like a JD thing from His Kingdom. Haha I've recently made up a JD for a summer intern and myself...) Hm. I think it would be sth like below:

1. To perform daily devotion and Bible reading
2. To pray for my family for their belief
3. To encourage me and my husband's spiritual growth (it felt gd we read the Bible together last night!)
4. To grow with b/s in wonderful fruits
5. To be a good witness at work (this includes being a hardworking employee, to finish off the exams although I dun see why it's worthy for me to spend 6yrs+ to pursue the whole thing. I keep on asking God but He told me that this is what He has given me and so I HAVE to finish it and wait for what's next He planned for me.), and
6. To manage of my health, time and $$.

I asked my husband if I will have a crown when I see Jesus..and his answer was...

Converse

This brand is not only popular among young ppl. I've seen a 60 yr old security guard (ah pak) wearing one today...haha~

March 17 - Surprise!

Thank you honey....

Wedding Pic

Finally I got the softcopies of the wedding pic from my bridesmaid in Canada. Here's some of the pic in the bride's room...

Materialism

Had a discussion w/ colleagues on the materialism in this rich world. If a Christian is going after the brands and luxuries, is that a pblm?

I was glad that I presented my idea (I was the only Christian in the group) - if you pursue materialistic life >> God, that will be a pblm.

Somehow the discussion went to the "one-tenth" donation. Again, I am thankful that I could testify for God. Cheers.

Happy Valentine's Day

My dear husband bought me these..so sweet! Thanks!

Devotion Sharing

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Matt 24:35

The devotion material mentioned a farmer who mourned due to the devastation made by a volcano explosion. He lost his farm, home and basically everything. Reference to the snow storm in China, how did I feel? Just a piece of news? I did worry about my two friends (made at the Cornerstone camp) coz' they should be heading back to their hometown from GZ. But seems like my heart cannot really feel the pain they are facing.... How come my thoughts are just occupied by my own tasks, which will fade away ultimately.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matt 6:33-34

Father pls lead me to the green pasture so that I can rest in you and lead me to follow your righteousness path, despite the many sidetracks and small tasks in daily life. Amen.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restore my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Psalms 23:1-3

TW trip

Does not look like us.........
