过了一个月，短宣的生活真的让我很享受。每一天，我们在主里一同生活，享受神的话语。上帝的恩典，让我可以有机会进入短宣来学习、来事奉。
我相信，在短宣，上帝都安排每一个人有不同的经历、不同的学习、不同的感受。上帝也透过短宣，向我们呼召。也许，在当中，会有一些不如意，但，上帝必定为我们每一个人负责任。祂会在短宣中再一次的建立我们。
在短宣中，我更经历神。我正在学习明白神在我身上的旨意，并且顺服。盼望每一位看见这个blog的人都能为我祷告，让我可以顺服神在我身上的旨意，不要为自己而活，要为上帝而活。

逃避
现代人越来越会逃避。离婚、堕胎、离家出走、吸毒......
离婚，因为逃避夫妻的问题
堕胎，因为逃避做父母的责任
离家出走，因为逃避与家人的问题
吸毒，为了逃避现实，享受暂时的快乐
......
越来越多的社会问题产生
这代表着：
越来越多现代人不会解决问题
越来越多现代人不懂得承担责任
他们对自己、对上帝没有信心
对上帝有信心的人，会依靠神来面对困难及挑战
对上帝没有信心，就会企图靠自己来面对一切事
凡事仰望上帝，因他是我们的避难所

天才
以前的天才，越来越有智慧
现在的天才，读书读到疯
牛顿晚年时说：不论在任何环境中，要持守耶稣基督的恩典和最大的戒命——爱人如己
现在的天才说：我不可以输，无论如何，都要胜过其他人
因为,以前的天才：敬畏神
现在的天才：为荣耀自己而活
“敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端，认识至圣者便是聪明”

神哪！我愿顺从你。
神哪 我愿顺从你
我要听从你的话
神哪 我愿顺从你
我要听从你的话
悖逆的心 我愿除掉
顽梗的意念 我愿放下
悖逆的心 我愿除掉
顽梗的意念 我愿放下
前几天，我到了尼亚石洞。在蝙蝠洞中，一片黑暗。如果不用手电筒，是绝对看不见前面的路。但我想用手电筒照到较远的地方时，我看见我接下来要走的路，但是，却让我感到我正在走的路非常难走。然而，当我单单注视着我脚前的路时，虽然我不知道更远的路要怎样走，但我却能够享受我所走的路程。
人的生命当中，同样的，就如蝙蝠洞般，一片黑暗，然而，我们的上帝成为我们的光，为我们照亮前面的路。只要我们愿意信靠他，顺从他的带领，我们必能在我们的生命中靠着他找到出路。如果我们想要靠自己的力量安排前面太远的路时，我们将会觉得现在的路非常难走，非常困难。但是，如果我们愿意将一切都交托神，我们会发现我们不需要烦恼，因为我们的上帝必定为我们预备前面的路。我们可以很享受的信靠他度过每一天！就让我们一起来学习顺服我们的神吧！

Mayonnaise Jar and 2 cups of coffee
This is a good one and so I hope you all enjoy it.
Life is too short to be wasted worrying.
Live it up, enjoy the simple things and you will see how much happier you will be.
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee
Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things
- God
- Family
- Your children
- Your health
- Your friends,
- and your favorite passions things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."
Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."
So, what should be your golf balls?? pebbles?? sands??
and, who are the friends that you should have a cup of coffee with??
Wish you use your short life wisely

God listens, God speaks
A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study.
The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice.
The young man couldn't help but wonder,
"Does God still speak to people?"
After service he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.
It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home.
Sitting in his car, he just began to pray,
"God...If you still speak to people speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey."
As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strongest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk.
He shook his head and said out loud,
"God is that you?"
He didn't get a reply and started on toward home.
But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.
The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognizethe voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli.
"Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk."
It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience.
He could always use the milk.
He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge,
"TurnDownthat street."
This is crazy he thought and drove on past the intersection.
Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street.
At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.
Half jokingly, he said out loud,
"Okay, God, I will."
He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop.
He pulled over to the curband looked around.
He was in semi commercial area of town.
It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either.
The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked darklike the people were already in bed.
Again, he sensed something,
"Go andgive the milk to the people in the house across the street."
The youngman looked at the house.
It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep.
He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.
"Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid."
Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.
Finally, he opened thedoor,
"Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here."
He walked across the street and rang the bell.
He could hear some noise inside.
A man's voice yelled out,
"Who is it? What do you want?"
Then the door opened before the young man could get away.
The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt.
He looked like he just got out of bed.
He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep.
"What is it?"
The young man thrust out the gallon of milk,
"Here, I brought this to you."
The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway.
Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen.
The man was following her holding a baby.
The baby was crying.
The man had tears streaming down his face.
The man began speaking and half crying,
"We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk."
His wife in the kitchen yelled out,
"I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?"
The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand.
He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face.
He knew that God still answers prayers.
THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST....
If you believe that God is alive and well, send this to at least ten people!!!!!!!!
This is so true.
Sometimes it's the simplest things that God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to what He's asking, to be able to hear His voice more clear than ever.
Please listen, and obey!
It will bless you(and the world). Phil 4:13
This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero.
It's your choice.
If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before myFather."
Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it.
Yes, I do LoveGod.

Watch the rain
" E N J O Y "... I just think this is very nice....
Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra
precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen,
spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm
thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and
was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had
discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take
this revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain
keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message
you will not send it to many
on your address list because you're not sure what they believe,
or what they will think of you for
sending it to them.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think
of us than what God thinks of us.
In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.
