Another reason why I love my mom

I developed rashes from paracetamol and it itched and stung like mad. Before she helped me apply calamine lotion, Mom tied my hair (which doesn’t even touch my shoulders) up and declared proudly, “哈哈哈，好像母鸡尾巴~” (Hahaha, it looks like a hen’s tail)

 

喘一口气

写一点东西再继续冲刺。

最近一直在想，以后要如何照顾老了以后的爸爸妈妈。

我绝对不会让任何人欺负我的爸爸妈妈！

 

We walk the bridge of Christ

There are many things whirling around in my head, of which some questions like, “Why are teenagers these days so emo?” Then I thought, hey, I used to be emo at their age too… I only grew out of it because I got to know God and His joy. So I must pray for these kids that they may too experience the joy and peace given by God.

Dear is sick As terrible as it sounds, I’m not too surprised seeing how hard he had slogged for so long. Time for him to have a nice long sleep. I hope he’s still sleeping now. As much as I miss him (it’s been a week since I saw him ), I think I still want him to have a good break. Take good care, dear… I’ll go meet you in my dreams♥

Ps Ling gave me a bottle of chicken essence, omg. I thought she was joking when she asked me whether I want chicken essence or a massage last night O_O It is of course, a much welcomed and a mind-bogglingly sweet action. I was so tired yesterday! It was what feeling “drained” is like… I could not say a single word apart from that which was absolutely necessary. Yet last night a sudden wave of inspiration caused me to stay up to write a new song for the Musical with Wanwen and Zeli. It was about 12.30am the time I went to bed and yet I couldn’t sleep! Then a commotion from my parents’ room sent me to check and it happened to be that my dad accidentally knocked his drinking flask over and they were drying up the spill. My mum was surprised that I was still up (at 1 am) and packed me off to bed after a comforting mug of warm Milo ♥ I love you Mum. And Ps Ling you are just like a mum to me already♥

Fellowship was great as usual, today. We had marketplace seminar and it was very inspiring. It really got me to think again about my life goals and what my priorities and principles should be like as a Christian in the workplace. Major ideas:

• God is our biggest boss, so He is the one we should please, above all others.
• Fear and reverence for God! 敬畏神!

I must say, while these couple of days have been physically exhausting, it has been a time of much prayer and work at dropping distractions from my life. And I kept praying, O Lord, please don’t let me fall from Your sight. Please teach me to stay close to You and not sin in my self-centeredness. Don’t ever let go of me, Lord. Don’t ever allow me to stray from You.

For indeed I feel like my spiritual walk is akin to walking on a plank bridge over a river of broiling sulphur. If I stay to the middle of the bridge and focus on my walk, I’d be able to walk it safely, comfortably and peacefully. Yet most of the time I look around distractedly and did my own things, causing me to swerve off towards the edge of the bridge. The heat and sting of the broiling sulphur wakes me up from my distracted stupor each time and I would scramble to the middle of the bridge. A moment of laxity and I could fall to a painful death in the river…

You see, we walk as God’s children in this fallen world, surrounded by temptations to sin. We are protected when we chose to walk on the plank bridge provided by God in the form of Christ, high above the danger. Yet it is not a safety net. We have to walk consciously and cautiously to cross the river, to an eternity of holiness and completion in our Creator. When we walk, there are constantly many things to distract us from our conscious and cautious steps. Sometimes it’s in the form of entertainment, sometimes it’s in the form of money, sometimes it’s in the form of lust, sometimes it’s in the form of worldly power. Most of them look as harmless as little birds flying across our skies, but when we lose ourselves trying to catch these little birds, we fall away from our safe paths.

So, no, let’s not be distracted. Let’s keep our eyes on Christ, our bridge to God. Let’s walk this path of faith and certainty and steer ourselves away from death.

 

Obedience…

Obedience to God constitutes honoring His commandment of “Honor thy parents”. Not as easy as it seems…

But it must be done, nevertheless.
