我們一家都是貓 (下）

小喵喵們一天一天長大，但都還是長得很像，分不太出來誰是誰，
但仔細看每隻都不一樣，有的頭像爸爸一樣圓，尾巴像媽媽一樣長， 有的臉像媽媽一樣秀氣，尾巴卻像閃電，.....好可愛！

大多時候都在睡覺 吸奶 玩樂 無憂無慮的生活 真好.....

睡成這樣，好可愛喔 呵呵....光看著他們感覺好幸福，壓力就消失雲散了

貓咪一家族，爸爸媽媽黑貓家族，加上小老虎阿姨 呵

(不好意思，圖的順序有點亂，這個blog的圖文不太好調＠＠）

某天回家，不知怎麼回事，貓夫妻吵架吧，家裏亂成一團＠＠

ososo跟哈拿反目成仇，哈拿一直叫，好可怕 ososo躲起來嚇到了

小貓和小老虎也都躲起來ㄌ

到底發生了什麼事ㄋ？？？？？？

只知道 他們不能住在一起了

哈拿原是野貓出生，把她和小咪咪們抱到頂樓住吧！

小老虎會孤單，也一起上去ㄅ～

ososo是家貓，又膽小，還是繼續留在家裏ㄅ

在頂樓的他們馬上就適應了，好快樂

有太陽可以曬，可以玩媽媽種的花草...黑黑的貓有紅花綠葉配色，更美！

母子照 作日光浴

可愛的小喵~~這隻是比較特立獨行的，不太跟其他四隻一起玩，都自己在另一處休息睡覺.....遺傳到爸爸孤僻的個性吧

窩在一起 感情好

來張獨照吧！還會看鏡頭ㄝ～好聰明唷：）

大太陽下瞳孔都變小了，

長大後眼睛會跟爸爸媽媽一樣圓圓的很可愛喔！

嗨！在玩虎虎的毛阿 呵

嘿～我是叢林之王！

哥倆好，一對寶

咦？在看什麼？有小鳥飛過去嗎？

太陽好熱，躲在蔭下乘涼

辛苦的但卻幸福的 貓媽媽 哈拿

在大盆栽旁，顯得好小隻 玩著樹葉，真可愛：）

這是早上拍的，我們把頂樓先暫時用木板 箱子 塑膠布和爸爸以前買的帳篷搭起來給貓咪當家

（當天的下午 百福社區下了冰雹＠＠ 所以晚上回到家一看 全毀了

還好貓咪的平安無事）

跟五隻可愛的小貓一起合照 他們都好愛我喔 哈

要送走很捨不得 但我希望他們有更好的主人愛他們

哈哈 好喜歡這一張 小虎抱著小黑貓 打哈欠 哈哈哈 嘴巴臭臭ㄇ？？

黑爸爸和黑小孩睡成一團

小虎你要說什麼？哈哈 好像抱著一隻小黑布娃娃喔

有調查顯示，養寵物，特別是貓咪，是釋放壓力的一種很好方式
我能證明這調查是千真萬確！

而且透過他們我更能體會上帝對我們的愛

我們沒做什麼或甚至犯罪 上帝還是這麼愛我們

就像這些小貓不能為我最什麼大事 但我就是這麼愛他們

希望更多人能有這樣的恩典，都有一隻心愛的貓咪

也希望每隻小貓都有一個愛他的主人

養過狗狗 但發現 養貓咪真的比養狗狗容易多了

只要提供乾淨的貓沙

乾淨的水和飼料

乾淨的環境

這樣就ok了

貓咪獨立自主，但也很需要主人的愛

願這五隻小黑貓都有美好的歸宿，我會想你們的～～～～～ ><

我們一家都是貓 (上）

上帝真有趣，從小我就超愛動物，夢想長大當動物園園長，或是以後嫁到國外有個大草原給我養馬養羊.....

但 從沒想過，我們家裡會有八隻貓！！！

故事要從好久前說起......
話說，四年前吧？媽媽教會朋友貓咪生了，要送我們兩隻，
一隻黑白乳牛貓-約翰，一隻全黑- O So So
超可愛的兩隻小貓，個性卻全然不同
小約翰活潑外向，不怕人 ; O So So膽小謹慎，要花很久時間才能信任人
但他們兩隻是好兄弟，感情很好～超可愛ㄉ！
貓咪長大後，
有一天發現小約翰不見了，O So So好沒落....
一年後在回家的路上發現小約翰，牠很享受當野貓的生活呢！
果然個性使然阿.....帶他回家洗澡休息，不過幾個月吧，又跑走了....T.T
某天.....媽媽發現，小約翰死在車子下面，看起來像是被毒死的....
嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚～～～～～～大哭

* * * * * * *

去年夏天，要去上班時，在協會樓下看到了一隻小小黑貓，
喵喵叫，好可愛～活力充沛好奇心很強的小貓
和另一位實習生一起把小貓帶回辦公室，
差一步小黑貓就要被抓流浪動物的帶走了呢！
問了辦公室的人沒人要養，想說好吧，她是母的，又是小貓，
應該不會和 Ososo打架，也可以跟Ososo作伴，
總不能把她丟在那，帶回家囉！
媽媽把她取名叫哈拿

家裏又有兩隻貓囉，而且都全黑的喔！再加隻掃把，我可以當巫婆了～

小哈拿長大了，跟黑索索越來越像，不過尾巴大不同，黑索索是閃電尾，小哈拿則是直長尾～上帝真是奇妙阿！

冬天來了，有一天在教會小組，有位弟兄說在走來的路上看到一隻小貓，
我趕緊去看，好可憐喔！孤零零又好冷的窩在地上，是隻可愛的小虎斑，不過她看起來病奄奄的，完全沒力氣，好可憐。
帶回家洗澡後，請弟弟隔天帶她去打驅蟲針，剛開始小老虎都不吃飯，軟趴趴，但很黏人，幾個禮拜過後，小老虎身體好起來，變健康囉！

就這樣，三隻貓每天過著幸福快樂的日子，三隻貓個性都不同，但都相處融洽，雖然剛開始都要互相適應，但後來都很ok～

某天發現，纖細的哈拿肚子變大了！
喔！哈拿懷孕了！
特別的經歷，不知道會生幾隻呢？希望都健康～

某天回家下班，發現三隻大貓都窩在我房間的衣櫃裡，黑濛濛的
手伸進去摸，咦?什麼東東？
阿～～～～～～～～～～～～～～生了！！！
但一團黑，實在看不清楚有幾隻～～
哈拿好厲害，自己生了，很健康而且很乾淨ㄝ！
Ososo很棒，知道自己是爸爸，在旁邊保護著，
小老虎變虎姑婆了，哈哈，一起幫忙照顧小貓～
好可愛唷～～～～～～～～>///<

從今以後，家裡有八隻貓

Rock Climbing

2/28, Saturday, the date we expected for a long time to go to rock climbing! From this year, our church teens group is changing to a new style, instead of meeting inside with familir Christians, now we have more outing activities to invite new friends to join with us. What is the Gospel? Gospel means Good News, Good News should be shared with good friends! =) I'm so happy and really thankful to God that Wally and Yunusa came, and they brought a new friend Benjamin came along with. Its really a special experience for them and for me as well. :)
I just love making friends with foreigners, especially African people! Its a wonderful thing to be friends with them and share life with them. They are kind, friendly, honest about their feelings and willing to try new things.
Wally and Yunusa said that they love Taiwan because Taiwanese are good people, then I can say I love Africa becos Africans are good people. ha.
But Benjamin has a different opinion. He said Taiwan people are ....(?) I forget what he said, anyway, he feels that Taiwanese are self-centered. For example, when people meet they don't greet each other...yea I agree what he said, Africans are very different, that's why I like African people, they are not shy as Asians do. I don't like shy people, well, I'm kind of shy person sometimes..:p

We church friends invited our own friends to join the activity this time, about 30 people in total.
We divided into 4 groups. and sure I have to be with my lovely friends to be their interpretor.
oh....I found out that I don't know so much English words, difficult to express exactly, but thank God that they can understand what I want to say.....thank them for their understanding. ;)

Oh its our turn to climb the rocks, Yunusa is just a very brave person, he always be the first one to try new things. haha, so great! Wally was the second, and Ben said that he is the best so he will be the last one to climb. haha. Wally is really a tall guy, he looked so big in that rock wall, he just moved once, he could across many area, it seemed so easy to him to climb to the top.....oh...but he has another difficulty, his hands are too big and fingures are too long to hold the stone very well.....that's really difficult for my Afircan friends, i think maybe this rock wall was designed for Asians.....sorry for them.

Ooooh....its my turn....so afriad! Well, it was not so difficult as I imaged when I climbed, I didn't feel tireness at all, but....what bothered me was the height! I had strenght to keep climbing on, but...when I saw the height I started screaming and trembled.....so I decided to come down....if I could conqure the fear of height in my heart maybe I could also reach the top. After the rock climbing, we had some topics to share...what did we learn from this activity. Team works, conqure our fears....etc.

Its lunch time! where to eat....difficult thing, becos i know they will say anything is ok. ha. thank God that we had good meal together. Yunusa asked me why taiwan people like soup and why we use chopsitcks, well....that's our culture and tradition. I gave him stupid answer: Taiwanes like soup as Africans like football. hahaha.

Afternoon, we had Experience Activity(?)體驗活動 It was activities all about TRUST. the first activity we have to stand on the floor, then chair or table then to lie down, we have to trust our team members will hold us well.
In this activity I was not afraid at all, becos our memebers, Wally, Yunusa and Benjamin were strong men. haha. they are trustworth.
But its kind of challenging for Wally and Ben i think, becos they are very tall, they would be worried that others couldn't hold them well.
But that's just all about TRUST, trust yourself, trust others, and trust God.
Lesley tired a challenging thing, she asked Wally to stand on the table, my God, that must up to 300 cm. and she asked a different team to catch him when he lied down.
Wally then shared that he was worried for others than for himself, he thought maybe others will get hurt becos he's heavy. He is just a considerable guy.
The second activity was that one selected person should put a cover over his/her eyes not to see the road. he/she had to listen to the direction from the team members to walk to the destination, at the same time, there were obstacles on the road, and noisy from other teams. I was selected, in the beginning, I couldn't hear the voice of my team members, I only heard a lot of noisy.....I didn't know where to go, finally, I heard a familar voice ...i didn't know who, but I knew its one of my African friends, not only the voice I recognized, also the smelling, the frangrace I recognized its my team member. Finally I got to the destination.
Its just the same in spiritual life. There is a destination for us to reach, but all the way are many obstacles and noisy from people or from Satan. The important thing is that we have to listen to the right voice which is the voice of God. We are His sheep, He is our Shepherd, we recognize His loving voice, but, we have to PAY ATTENTION TO HIS VOICE, and willing to obey, otherwise we will fall down or go astray.
(Ben was selected too, it was so easy for him cos his friend spoke him with their own language, haha, no one can distract him!)

Finally we invited Yunusa to share with us about his feeling about today's activities. He spoke good chinese which impressd all friends. I was so touched when he said that he really enjoyed the time today and it was his first time to have activity with a group since he came to Tiawan for 1 and half year. I'm so thankful to GOD for this chance that they can join and enjoy. Hope there were more chances for them to join and enjoy during the time they study in Taiwan.

On the way to the bus station, Wally said it is good to have such a group to meet together, he is smart I think he knows why I want to invite him to join with us. Its difficult to know each other only with 2 people themsevles together. It is a good chace to know each other through group activities. He knows the reasons why I said 'wait', what I can do is not only "wait", waiting, is a process, throught this process God wants us to learn many things. The result will be better than we decide now. While waiting, my part is to keep praying, for his life, and also my life, and pray to know the will of God. another part I can do is to make chances to know each other more. Thank God for all those chances. I believe God has the perfect plan.

Stay alert, be in prayer

Mark 14:32-42 (The Message Version)

They came to an area called Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, "I feel bad enough right now to die. Stay here and keep vigil with me."
Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: "Papa, Father, you can - can't you? - get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want - what do you want?"
He came back and found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, you went to sleep on me? Can't you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."
He then went back and prayed the same prayer. Returning, he again found them sound asleep. They simply couldn't keep their eyes open, and they didn't have a plausible excuse.
He came back a third time and said, "Are you going to sleep all night? No- you've slept long enough. Time's up. The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let's get going. My betray has arrived. "


That day we read the Bible together in the night prayer meeting(we read in Chinese version), for this scriptures I wondered, Jesus asked his disciples to pray, but pray for what? pray that Jesus will not be betrayed? or pray that when Jesus be crucified he will not feel too painful? No, his disciples didn't know about all these even Jesus had prophesid to them about what is going to happen, his disciples didn't understand.
So, pray for what?
In that Chinese version the scriputres not so clearly, from The Message Version I understand more.
Be in alert and be in prayer is a way to prepare our hearts to face the challenges will happen in the future. Yes, through prayers, our hearts can be prepared, so we will not make wrong decision as Peter cut the ear of the priest's servant in a hurry situation.
Yes, stop sleeping! I've slept long enough.
Thank God for the talk with Pastor n his wife last Sat. About my going to US, I just need to be more alert and see myself as a full time servant of God. No more shaking.
What I need to do is spend more time in PRAYERS. To know the will of God and have the heart of God to face all the challenges.
Praise God. Jesus just loves me so much. He knows my weakness, but He still accept and teach me step by step. I love you my Lord becos You loved me first.

Valentine

Today is Valentine Day...
Somehow....feel lonely? feel empty?
I know Jesus is my love and only His love can satisfy me, but my heart is still not satisfied...
becos of what had just happened these days.

I just wonder....why it's so difficult for me to get into a deeper relationship?
I've declined some people to be their girlfriend. That's my decision why I have to feel lonely now?
But....I just want to keep my heart for the right one whom God prepared for me.
Someone said to me that if you don't get into it how you can prove it is true love or not?
maybe his word is right....
but....I just don't want to get into a relationship which i'm not sure its from God or not.
I'm afraid that if I say yes, but that one is not the right one for me, then I will miss the right one.
It can be saying that its easy to get a boyfriend, also can be saying it is not easy to have a boyfriend.
If I get inot a relationship I will love with all my heart, I can't endure any breaking up, that's the reason why i'm just very careful with this love affair thing...
I desire it, but I don't want to spoil it.
God knows who is the best for me.
I will wait until the day comes.

Happy Valentine!

第二專長

主日結束後的社青小組，討論到第二專長

突然發現，咦，我好像沒有什麼專長ㄝ？第一專長是什麼都要想很久

一直以來想當通才，什麼都懂，但都不專精

也不像別人念大學四年有個技術

我在韓國唸了什麼ㄋ？ 韓文 and 一點點ㄉ敬拜讚美學

也許語言是我的專長，翻譯英文和韓文，學習語文也很快
那第二專長也許是音樂囉？
這是上帝給我的恩賜，要好好培養發揮才行

今天在坐火車上班的路上，想著我在韓國到底學到ㄌ什麼
我覺得我學ㄌ很多 那是什麼 釐清出
發現 我學到ㄌ很寶貴ㄉ東西
自己的生命被調整是很多很多ㄉ
也許沒有學到當初我所想ㄉ神學或敬拜與讚美學ㄉ知識
但卻用生命去體驗到了

另外，學到很寶貴的是
在一個全球巡迴的佈道會or聚會ㄉ團隊中 什麼時候該扮演什麼角色
台上ㄉ敬拜團樂器... 台下ㄉ招待翻譯接待... 台前 台後 會前的預備 會中的服事 會後的處理...
這都是非常難得的經驗
我也很享受在其中
幾乎各個服事都跑過
最享受的就是音樂事奉 and 翻譯

覺得上帝真美 一路想起來 真的是 神的帶領ㄝ

以後應該是會跟著非爸一起世界巡迴佈道
我就能像是個秘書 或是帶領敬拜禱告者 也能與世界各地接洽
找到自己的恩賜 熱情所在 耶穌的旨意 這就是異象

感謝主 真好：）

let go

Mark 17 - 27 (The Message version)

.......
Jesus looked him hard in the eye -- and loved him! He said, "There's one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me."
The man's face clouded over. This was the last thing he expected to hear, and he walked off with a heavy heart. He was holding on tight to a lot of things, and not about to let go.
Looking at his disciples, Jesus said, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who 'have it all' to enter God's kingdom?" The disciples couldn't believe what they were hearing, but Jesus kept on: "You can't imagine how difficult. I'd say its easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for the rich to get into God's kingdom."
That set the disciples back on their heels. " Then who has any chance at all?" they asked.
Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it."

I love Africans!

今天 等了好久的假期終於來ㄌ～
哇 要和skype上認識的非洲人見面ㄝ
第一次和網友見面說 有點緊張
但因為好久沒看到黑人ㄌ 好想念 又期待又緊張～～～
和Lydia 約 一起去 才不會危險:p

下雨天 好冷
約在校園書坊
結果Wally找不到
就改約在捷運站出口ㄌ
Wally 跟他ㄉ朋友 Yunusa（好難唸...不會發音:P)

Wally是在skype上認識ㄉ 他搜尋到我 我看是非洲人 就accept囉
聊一聊 覺得他還滿正人君子ㄉ 不是只想一夜情ㄉ那種（痛恨！）
後來聊到原來他是muslim
整ㄍ引起我ㄉ好奇心ㄌ
但也有點擔心 因為他知道我是基督徒....
想起muslimㄉ上帝是公正嚴厲ㄉ 他們不相信上帝是愛 是天父
我就問他 do you believe that your God is Love and He is your Heavenly Father
他竟然回答：sure
繼續問 but you don't believe in Jesus right?
他說：of course we believe in Jesus, in Koran says if you don't believe in Jesus you are not a Muslim
喔 好驚訝 那麼：but you believe in Jesus only as a prophet, not the Son of God right?
他回答：yes, as a prophet
嗯嗯真ㄉ不同ㄌ....
He said that we believe in the same God, just the prophets r different
撒但真是詭詐 欺騙ㄌ許多人
最核心ㄉ就是Jesus Christ 因為愛 道成肉身 為了我們ㄉ罪釘十字架 三天後復活


會談到這些是因為他說想跟我見面
我裝白痴ㄉ問他 you want to see me? why?
I thought that muslims hate christians...
He: oh why
me: from the news....everyday fighting...
he: haha
and then he said that in his country(Gambia) Muslims n Christians make peace with each other, marry each other....
and one of his best friends is a Christian

Oh...marry each other, i can't believe that! even I heard about this from my African Daddy, ...well, both r not born again ....

從來不敢跟網友見面
但因為之前聊ㄌ很多 也很熱心ㄉ一肚子想幫助他 希望他們從甘比亞來台灣讀書能有好ㄉ時間
不要像我一樣在韓國兩年只待了教會和學校及大型體育館
他們政府出資讓他們來台灣讀書 所以同學都是他們國家ㄉ人
認識不多台灣人
想說有機會多介紹或帶他們去玩
既然都這樣說ㄌ
我不能拒絕見面
禱告 如果有人可以跟我一起去 那我就跟他見面
也告訴他要帶朋友來
他也很爽快ㄉ答應ㄌ

Be Still

1/14 彩虹每週三早晨的例行培靈 邀請了靈糧神學院的林緯玲老師
與我們分享 "如何透過靈修默想親近神"
非常讚，但很可惜因為時間關係，沒有全講完，以下筆記，希望以後還能有幸再次聽到林緯玲老師的講座：）

＠默想式讀經法（Contemplative Bible Reading)

1. 默想的重要：
A. Richard Foster: 超越淺薄
＊"此世代不需要聰明能幹大有恩賜的人，而是要有深度的人"
＊這個世代的三個陷阱：喧囂；匆忙；擁擠

B. Moltman: 不同於現代之知的一種古老的知的方式
＊"Knowing is an act of love, not one of mastery."
＊ 真知是一種愛的行為，而非掌控
＊ 比喻：古代的知 -->眼睛（觀察，思考） ; 現代的知-->手（掌控）

C. 余慧根：1.與生活行動密切相關
---默想是對神，自我及人及世界的開放與聆聽，從而校正關係
2.找到自我＆使命
---與 神合一的生命會找到自我，而非失去自我

＊ 我們非常知道如何"縮"（自衛，保護自己)
但釘十字架的動作：張開雙臂
擁抱的動作： 張開雙臂 （not easy！）
因此，默想的操練就是：不斷打開（會變得容易親近，容易信任）
＊接納自己 ---
＊在上帝的塑造中，是保護我們，使我們能走這條路，因此我們需要退下。
＊手腳一直冰冷代表一直處於緊張狀態，需要放鬆。也許透過一杯溫水，曬曬太陽，就可以感受到上帝的溫暖。
＊不要反覆默想不愉快 負面的事

2.易產生的誤解：

東方冥想 vs 基督教默想

1.去質 空無 經驗神秘 // 倒空 虛己 領受充滿

2.喪失個人特徵 與宇宙心融合 // 獻上自己 重整自我


3.與世脫離 進入涅槃 // 區隔混亂 與 神合一



Jesus is the Life Giver.

Focus on Jesus!

Life back to the center!

音樂的再生

今年開始幫哲生 程偉 和雅各哥 上司琴課
其中一項作業是要看 "音樂的再生"
這是我在ANM週六訓練時 的必讀書
很讚～去年教志萍時 她看了很有收穫～寫了心得在她的部落格
那天上課聽哲生分享，覺得很棒
經過他的同意，po上來 ：）
以下是他的整理和心得：

撒旦的軍隊-現代音樂家透過音樂帶出魔鬼的訊息，讓眾人崇拜。
但唯有創造音樂與世界的真神配得頌讚。

遠在神創造人類與地球之前，祂在第三層天用各樣的樂器塑造了一位天使，並賦予其演奏音樂的能力。權柄和職責與天使長米迦勒(戰士)和加百列(報信者)相當。牠名叫路西弗(撒旦)，也意味著「明亮之星」、「早晨之子」。
身上有精美的鼓笛，彈奏的非常好。裝飾著鈴鼓，使牠在演奏時能產生節奏感。牠不只是個擅長彈奏樂器的音樂家，牠本身就是一個樂器。牠是一位帶領敬拜的領導者，責任是帶領眾天使頌讚及彈奏樂器，以音樂來敬拜神。神創造音樂不是作世俗之用或佈道之用，神創造音樂是用來敬拜主。雖然音樂可以感動未信者，但若只在此目的，我們就離神創造音樂的屬靈功用太遠了，也失去了我們的權利。

聖經描述撒旦是個全然美麗、智慧充足的受造物，卻也因此高傲，於是居心自比父神受人崇拜，因此而墮落了。當牠被神驅逐時，牠的智慧及音樂能力也被剝奪，從那一起，音樂也墮落了。原本用來敬拜父神的音樂被貶低為世界的音樂，用來滿足墮落的本性。現在，撒旦仍然透過音樂的影響力來腐化人心，以達到被人敬拜的目的。

撒旦向音樂家們展示天下萬國的權柄榮華。一些音樂家及歌唱者為了成為超級巨星，享受世界的榮華富貴，不息出賣靈魂，為了創造一首新歌，先使自己的情緒激昂數天，再寫下一首有美妙樂器伴奏的抒情歌曲。這一類的歌曲往往成為熱門歌曲。音樂會總是人潮洶湧，一旦他們走上舞台，成千上萬的歌迷開始擊掌唱和、手舞足蹈起來，這種景象是模仿神今日在教會所做的。司琴是為了敬拜神，而不是為了受人崇拜，要謹慎撒旦的伎倆。

聖經中提到音樂超過893次，是提到地獄次數(70)的12倍。可見音樂的重要性。
大衛王派人管理歌唱的事，這些歌唱者是全職的，除此之外其餘的工作都不必作。他們的收入是百姓所納的什一奉獻，所住的地方則屬於聖殿。他們不僅作特別獻詩，帶領敬拜與詩歌服事。詩歌服事不是要匆促地唱完，以迎接更重要的聚會，也不是用來融化冰冷的心，使人心火熱起來，教會的聚會並不是個宴會。唱詩是為了預備我們領受神的話語，與神的心緊緊繫在一起，神也藉此向我們施恩。


音樂有巨大的破壞能力，也有巨大的醫療能力。音樂是一種強而有力的溝通工具。藉著音樂這個媒介，可以傳達某種正面或負面的思想。正面是良藥，帶來醫治。反面帶來疾病，端視你聽的音樂而定。
某些音樂有消除精神緊張及疲勞的功效。使我們從緊張與沮喪中釋放出來。激勵我們情緒與意志。使消沉煩躁的心靈，帶來平安與喜樂。許多具大聲音的演奏者都患了胃潰瘍、失眠及心臟病。聽眾也蒙受其害。


音樂是神創造來讓人敬拜神的。要不斷尋求神，找出神對自身的期望與責任。神要求的音樂職事，不只是限於救恩的傳揚而已，我們的舉止、衣著及歌唱的表現，都應與世界有所分別，生活上不可穿邋遢的衣著或裝模作樣，要讓人從我們身上看見耶穌。如果人沒有從我們身上看見耶穌，就會看見屬肉體的事。此外司琴需要專心學習，接受嚴格的訓練，常保純淨的思想，聆聽有益心靈的健康歌曲，全心服事主，過著聖潔的生活。善用樂器來稱頌主，知道它是一種服事，而非僅止自娛娛人或伴奏而已。

神對每次聚會都有祂的目的及心意，應該多學習怎樣在恩膏的塗抹與帶領下來服事神。所以要透過禱告，祈求聖靈的膏抹，祈求神帶領我們演奏或演唱那首詩歌，以及膏抹所唱的每一首詩歌，這才能叫聽見的人得益處。

何種音樂屬神，就看音樂高舉誰?

神的音樂裡帶有生命、平安與真理。

謝謝上帝賜下的音樂
願我們所聽 所彈奏 所唱 的一切音樂
都是單單敬拜 神
回復到當初 神所創造音樂的本質
神是配得敬拜與讚美的 神！！

"The seed cast in the weeds represents the ones who hear the kingdom news but are overwhelmed with worries about all the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it." (Mark 4:19, The Message)

Jesus told a parable of the scattered seed in Mark 4:1-20.

Today when I read this scripture, verse 19 just jumped into my eyes and came into my heart.
Recently, I don't know why, so many things crowded in my mind, always thinking about what I need to do and planing how to achieve to the things I want to do, I don't allow my heart to rest!
I can't focus on reading the Bible, prayers, no time of meditation of course.
and it stops my spiritual growth.......so bad!!
I want to listen from God, but i also want to go on my way...I know I can never be satisfied with men and those worldly things, I want to follow Jesus....but.......
Thank God for His word...reminding me that I shall never neglect all these things I'm doing now, I think they are 'small tiny thing', it will not affect my relationship with God....but its not true! When I divide my heart into many tiny parts, distribute to many things, I can't never give my whole heart to God the One whom I should give to!

Let my life go back to the center, and let my eyes focus on Jesus---> that's WHAT I REALLY NEED TO DO!

Oh Just now! I got the reply from Portland Bible College!

Lord, is this school You prepare for me?

I want to know~~~~~~

I need to be silent....

I feel that GOD wants to speak to me but I run around and around not stop....how I can hear from God with a messy heart...

Anyway, Praise the Lord!

I can have a sound sleep tonight..... : )

Lord, appear in my dream,,,,plssssss!!!

亂晃

昨天中午去採訪感恩茶會
三四點結束後 不用回協會
難得的午後 天氣雖涼
想去公館晃晃
繞進了台大 的 椰林大道
感受一下 書香氣息 期末考期間
延著大道走向圖書館
想到了我在韓國的時光
啊 好想再當大學生阿
才當ㄌ兩年另類的大學生
主阿 快快快 嗚嗚嗚


今晚週四聚會完 回到家 好累
但就捨不得睡
到大家ㄉ網誌晃晃
好感動
後來晃到弟弟ㄉ
看完後 心情又沈重ㄌ起來
為何情事如此煩人
是我們家族的捆綁ㄇ？
主阿 叫我不要擔憂ㄅ
用禱告ㄅ
今年希望每天能為家人禱告十五分鐘
主阿 讓我愛上禱告ㄅ
很佩服那些可以為一些事懇求哭泣代禱好幾個小時 連續好幾個月ㄉ人
我覺得 上帝都知道ㄌ阿
而且哭什麼 因為知道結局一定是美好ㄉ
這是上帝應許ㄉ嘛 雖然現在想到會擔憂
恩....這就是我有信心ㄉ恩賜 但沒有禱告ㄉ恩賜ㄇ = =''
不過..
沒有行為的信心是死的
所以
還是好好禱告ㄅ
感謝主
原本是心情不好想打網誌發洩一下ㄉ
一下就了結ㄌ：p
別再上網ㄌ
去禱告ㄅ
主ㄚ
可不可以用打網誌的方式跟你禱告ㄋ
這樣我才不會進入夢鄉禱告...
跟耶穌講話好容易
但
為某件事持續代求 等候神
為什麼這麼難？
我到底是出了什麼問題？？？
