Recovery 恢復
Uncle Wilson was very close to my family when I was young. He treated my brothers and me as his own children. We were visiting lots of Taiwan’s sceneries by his car during our school holidays in the childhood. However, there was a while he did not visit us due to some of quarrels with my father. That was also named ‘The Uncle Wilson’s embarrassing period’ for us. I think we both would feel so awkward to meet each other at that time. That’s a very strange feeling of us even we were not the one who quarreled with him. Many years later, the iced -war between him and my father was stopped in silence after grandmother’s death. Therefore, my family’s relationship with him was in the process of being recovery. Nowadays we renamed our relationships with Uncle Wilson as ‘the grace period of honeymoon’.
Few days ago, Uncle Wilson visited us after his business trip in south of Taiwan. Surely we got some great fresh farmed harvests from him. Moreover, we also had great conversations in remembering our childhood with him. It’s really a treasure for having the opportunity to be closed to him again.
I always remember there was a while I was really terrified and misunderstood about Christianity specially when those of people came to me and pointed out that I had sin against God. It’s true that we may feel sad when people come to us and confirm that we are sinners even we do not against the law and think we are innocent.
Bible says that the original sin from our ancestors Adam and Eve had blocked the close relationship from us to God. It just likes the situation of Uncle Wilson and my family. My brothers and I did not do anything to fence the relationship with Uncle Wilson. It’s not our faults but we were burdening from it. Thanks God that we are so blessing to reveal the relationship with Uncle Wilson. But the most grateful thing is that God is love. He sent Jesus to die for our sins and reveal our personal relationship with Him. I really thanks God for given me the opportunity in Knowing Jesus and be His favor friend. It’s true that God never promise that we won’t have to go through the difficult times in our lives but He promised that He will always be with us and never forsake us.
Let’s pray. Dear Lord, thanks for sending your only son Jesus to die for our sins. Also, thanks for renew our lives with you. We know that there may have some moments we feel uneasy and anguish to deal with. But your promises will never fail and your unconditional love will always upon to us. Thank You Lord. In Lord and Jesus name we pray. Amen!
威爾遜叔叔是我們童年時很親近的一位長輩。他對我和哥哥及弟弟如同自己的孩子。小時候我們常因為他開車帶我們出遊而參觀了很多台灣的風景名勝。不過，有一段時間他和我的父親意見不合因此漸漸疏離我們。我們都形容那段時間為'威爾遜叔叔的尷尬時期'。特別是當我們互相見面時都感覺很彆扭。這真是一個非常奇怪的感覺，因為不是我們和他意見不和阿。許多年以後，他和我父親的冷戰漸漸在祖母去世後被化解了。因此，我們和他的關係也在這個過程中被恢復。現在我們重新命名我們與威爾遜叔叔的關係為'恩典蜜月期'。
數天前，威爾遜叔叔去南台灣出差後，帶了一些在地土產來家中給我們打牙祭。除此之外，我們和他之間也談了許多的童年往事呢。能夠有機會再次和他親近實在是很值得珍惜與感恩。
我一直記得有一段時間，我真的很害怕和基督徒對談。那時我還為信耶穌甚至對於基督教有著很深的誤解。特別當這些人來找我，指出我已經得罪神。哇! 自己既不犯法也沒做錯事卻被冠上罪人的封號實在是非常不舒服呢!
聖經說，我們的罪原自於我們的祖先亞當與夏娃。因為他們的關係，阻撓了上帝和我們的親密關係。而這其實和威爾遜叔叔及我們家的尷尬情況有點類似呢。我和我哥還有我弟，並沒有做任何事欄阻和與威爾遜叔叔的親近關係。我們的關係之所以僵化一點都不是我們這些小孩的錯誤呢，但我們卻需要承擔後果。不過很感謝上帝，是如此的關係祝福威爾遜叔叔與我們讓我們的關係得以恢復。但最感恩的是，上帝無條件的愛。祂差派祂的獨生愛子耶穌來為我們的罪付上死亡的代價，為的是讓我們有機會與祂和好。我真感謝上帝讓我有機會認識耶穌，並且成為耶穌的好朋友。
這是真的，上帝從來沒有應許天色常藍，但祂承諾，祂將永遠與我們同在，永不離棄我們。 你相信嗎?
讓我們一起禱告。親愛的主，感謝你差派你的獨生愛子耶穌為我們的罪而死。也謝謝您重新更新我們的生命。我們知道，可能有一些時刻，我們將會感到不安和經歷痛苦。但你承諾永不離棄我們也不撇下我們，你的無條件的愛也將永遠與我們同在。主阿! 真是謝謝你! 奉耶穌的名求，阿門！

Focusing 聚焦
Focusing
I was invited to a care group. That was nearly the first time to meet others in the group. There was a ice-break leading us to the meeting. The leader guided us to a game which I named it 'opposite' in English. This was how the game being played. Every one could choose a number between 1-5 and spoke it out. However, there was a gesture for these 5 numbers. Normally, we would use forefinger to present for number 1 and that was the common body language around the world. As this was the game called 'opposite' we had to speak and act the number in the different combination. For example, I might said 1 but act my sign language other then 1. So that when I saying 1 I could act number 2, 3, 4, or 5.
It's not really a easy job but full of funs.We tried to play it in the first run. After the first run, someone responded to me that I was so relax in this game and not easy to be confused by others. Well, it's not really true. In fact, I might be one of the senior in age in the group, therefor, it's not a easy game for older people like me. However, to succeed in participating in this game would be a challenge for me. As a result, 'Focusing' was the only thing that I could perform. Thus, I shared that how I did it to pass this game to the entire group.This game was really interesting and it remained me something else.
Most of times we would like to deal with life issues without focusing. We used to have a lot of plans but always being dis-attraction by something else which might not be really so co-related to our issues. Focusing is the great way to help us in concentrating of gains.This is just as same as how we respose to our faith. Sometimes the miracles were surrounding us but we could not see it. It was becasue of most of times we were focusing on the wrong places or points.
Be focused and only focus upon Jesus. Surely, it will lead us in the path to meet Jesus and experience in HIS unconditional love to us.
Let us pray. Lord, thank you for helping us to know you and to be your friend. Yes, sometimes we pray but out of focus on you. Please help us to focus only upon you, so that we can experience your presence and love in us. In Lord and Jesus name we pray. Amen!
wow, it sounds I am a preacher. ha ha
聚焦
我被邀請參加一個小組。這是第一次參加的一個小組。小組一開始領導者引導我們玩了一個破冰遊戲，我把它命名為'口是心非'。遊戲是這樣的 ,每個人可以選擇 1-5之間的數字，講了出來。不過，必須比出和這 5個數字不同的手勢。通常，我們會用一根手指比出數字 1，這也是通用的世界身體語言。但是這遊戲之所以被叫做口是心非意旨我們想的和做的是不同的。舉例來說，我可能說1但是我不可以比出1。所以，當我說1時我可以比1以外的 2，3，4或5的手勢。
這並不是一個簡單的遊戲，但充滿了樂趣。我們試著玩。玩了第一次後，有人跟我說，我看起來很輕鬆都不會被混淆。嗯，這不是真的。事實上，對於我這個老人家來說其實一點都不簡單。但是，要成功地參加這場比賽將是一個挑戰。因此，'聚焦'(專注)是我唯一可以做的。因此，我和小組的成員分享其實玩遊戲時我並不管其他人說甚麼只是專注在我所要比跟說的答案上。
這遊戲真的很有趣，且讓我學到別的東西。大多數的時候，我們想處理生活上所遭遇的問題但是卻沒有抓到重點。我們曾經有過很多計劃，但總是一些不相關的問題分散注意力。對焦(專注)其實是一種很棒的方式來幫助我們集中精神邁向成功。這也和我們如何回應我們的信仰一樣。有時其實奇蹟是圍繞我們，但我們卻無法看到它。這是因為大多數的時候，我們都集中在錯誤的地方或點。
專注，單單的專注在耶穌身上。這樣不但會引導我們經歷耶穌奇妙的恩典，也能享受到神在我們身上無條件的愛。
讓我們一起禱告。主啊，感謝你幫助我們讓我們認識你且和你你成為朋友。是的，有時我們雖然禱告卻無法專注。請幫助我們專注讓我們單單仰望你，使我們能夠經歷道您奇妙偉大的愛和大能。奉主耶穌的名祈求，阿們！
哇，寫完之後怎覺得自己有點想是傳道人-牧師。哈哈

Pride and Inferiority 驕傲和自卑
Most of people like to compare the words ' proud and confidence' in relation of stages. It's very common to hear that there is only one line between proud and confidence. I have to admit that once I was very confused by those kind of definitions or explainations. I even tried to join the debates and figure out what was the real line across them.
For many years moved by I still not quite sure about the real line between them. However, I do figure out something else between Pride and Inferiority (self-abased). For many times I did claim that I am the person who do not like to bother others. It's very important to be a independent woman in this era. However, it's very ture for us to declaim something that may mark us high or build our self esteem in some better way we prefers.
These years I found out that Pride and Inferiority are usually co-related in some ways. I remember that there was many times I forgot my money and purse at home during the working days in University. I really do not know how to ask people for borrowing money. As a result, I might not have anything to eat during the luch or dinner time. However, there was once I forgot my money home and my car was just run out of petrol oil. I really need to ask someone for helps otherwise I could not go home. It's really funny moment for me. I really did not know how to do with it. As a christian, I prayed before I went out for asking.
But what I prayed was that if I could find out some bucks from my office. Ha ha, God did humanise me in searching out $10. So in the end, I went to my next door and asked Chiu-Chin for money. Well, that was not really so difficult to do it. I just did not know that how I could not ask for help. It seemed I was popular and easy going with my colleagues among my department. But I just could not speak out about my needs in time. Few days ago, similar situation happened to one of our friends, I did question her why she never asked for help? She gave me the answers which was " she dare not bother others". Finally I got the picture of myself and understand for it. It was our weak ness confidence induced our prides for asking help. It's really not a big deal to ask indeed. We may afraid being rejected by other, however, if we do not ask how can we know the results? Agree?
大多數人喜歡比較'驕傲和自信心'這兩字的不同。我們常聽到，這兩者只有一條線之間。我必須承認，有一段時間我對於這兩個字的定義感到非常困惑。我甚至試著想找出在兩者之間真正的線為何。
多年來，我仍然不太清楚了他們之間的那條線為何。不過，我確發現傲慢與自卑之間（自卑）有著微妙的關係。對於許多時候，我都說自己不喜歡打擾別人。而在這個時代成為一位獨立的女子是非常重要的。然而，非常真實的 這些我們所宣稱的東西可能意味著我們以我們喜歡的方式所塑造建立的高自尊
。
這些年來我發現，通常傲慢與自卑兼有一定的相關聯合作有關。我記得有很多次我去學校教書時我忘了我的錢和錢包在家裡。我真的不知道如開口向別人借錢。因此，我可能就常常沒有吃，午餐或晚餐。不過，有一次我又忘了帶錢，我的車汽油也用完了。我那次真的一定要別人的幫助，否則我不能回家。對我而言這真是有趣的時刻。我真的不知道怎該如何開口。作為一個基督徒，上帝永遠是我們的幫助所以我只好先開口祈禱。
但我祈禱的是，如果我能從我的辦公室找到一些錢。哈哈，上帝還真是幽了我一默!讓我搜索出10元。所以最後，我只能去隔壁像久秦開口借錢。嗯，後來發現開口借錢一點也不難。我只是不知道，我怎麼能這樣的堅持不尋求幫助苦了自己。我其實在學校中人緣很好但我就是無法在需要的時間內說出我的需要。
數天前，類似的情況發生在我們的一個朋友身上，她不是來借錢! 我當時也問她為什麼從來沒有找我們幫助？她給我的回答是：“她不想打擾別人。
哈哈”後來我忽然間恍然大悟和了解。這是我們的薄弱的自信心誘導出我們的嬌傲好讓我們不開口要求幫助。但是其實開口請求幫忙實在不是一大難事呢。也許我們會害怕被拒絕，但另一方面，如果我們不問，如何才能知道結果？同意嗎？

Myth
People say to me 'that's impossible to achieve', ' that's a most difficult way to go.', 'I believe that you can do it if you work hard, but even for me I know that I can't do it'... For some points of view, I am sure that they do really care and love me. But I am who I am. I know that I may not be the most intelligent guy in this world but I have God with me. Everything is possible with God. So God help me and lift me up to the place you main me to be. So that people will know and admit You are God. Oh, God! Please lead me to the path with the blessings from gracious love and soften heart.
有人對我說'這不可能實現'，'這是一個最困難的路。'，'我相信你能做到，如果你努力的話，但即使是我，我知道我也無法達成'。 ..對於這些人的忠告，從某些地方我相信他們真的關心和愛護我。但我知道且很清楚的明白我是誰。也許我不是這世上最聰明最有智慧的傢伙，但我有上帝和我在一起。在神沒有難成的事。所以上帝啊 請 幫助我，指引我到你要我去的地方
於是，人們便可以知道且承認你是神。哦，上帝！請帶我走那一條充滿你的愛與柔軟的心的祝福道路吧!
