Fast

This is one of the things I will fast from – blogging. For a period of time I will fast from this space, so before I do…

I will start a new job soon, realized everybody was excited and happy for me. But I don’t have a slightest clue why they would, one thing for sure is that in God all things are possible.

I thought about going back to school for a long time, this particular one that I’m looking into closely is very attentive to my interest.  If things went well, I’ll lose all my jobs and most of my savings. Let’s just see how it goes, I believe that God would listen to my prayer.

I’m thankful to the friends who care for me, above all God who cares for me all the time.

究竟為誰？

當你向別人道謙的時候，究竟是為了得著別人的原諒，還是知道自己錯了，別人當得到自己的謙意？難道別人不願意原諒你的時候，你就當為此而不高興，甚或認為別人真小家？！原來你道謙是為了讓自己好受，不是為那當得道謙的人好受嘛？！這道理我真不明白。

當你欣賞別人而發出稱讚，而別人卻不同意的時候，你就理直氣壯地大表不悅，這是否代表別人太驕傲？難道你的稱讚不是為了別人而發出，而是為了把自己顯得多能欣賞別人而說的嗎？我又不明白了。

看起來活在人當中，就要“看通”一點，“懂事”一點，“大體”一點，“隨便”一點。返正這是人人都明白的道理。

Good book

I would recommended all women to read  “The gift of fear” by Gavin de Becker, it provided some practical guidelines of following intuitions and sensing dangers. It also brings me to understanding about fear and how I should approach it. One of the many quotes from the book is quite interesting: “The very fact that you fear something is solid evidence that it is not happening.” Very true.

My new toy

With the arrival of my new toy, I’ve decided to carry it with me as much as possible just to make it money well spent! Took pictures of virtually nonmeaningful stuff is not in my intuition at all, so I have to make myself to take extra attention of things around me. Then I discovered that there are many things that worth taken a picture with, like the beautiful flowers that are blooming in this wonderfully hot Chicago summer. Numerous statures of all sorts in Chicago led me to pay attention to where they’re coming from.

Finally gave away my old Canon, found itself a new owner and hoping that it will work many more years to come. I’ve been very attentive to the Canon, unfortunately it fell from the top of a slanted TV box about 3 feet from the ground one day and the ring holding on the lenses bent… Pictures taken just as well but the lenses doesn’t contract back to dock like before. I even kept the original box it came from, now all packed and given to the new owner. All the best to my first DC, and looking forward to exploring my new toy

YNP recap

It’s a short enough trip to visit the park in full, too bad we didn’t have more company to join us or we could have ventured down south more to cover Bryce Canyon, Zion and even Las Vegas! It’s more like a tiring than a relaxing trip, but we spent more time to talk than we used to. And I just realized I didn’t participate in any group setting activity for more than 2 months at least. Then it dawned on me only true friends still keep in touch with me, and those who aren’t were just “fellowship dudes” … Tells me something about the North American culture of Chinese churches, or just us? I’m thankful that there are still true Christians around, who do care even though I’m not contributing much nowadays.

The wild

Gray
Meandering between bushes
Following its target with sharp vision and scent.
Capturing its prey in his sight,
Disappearing once again behind the setting sun.

Black
All alone on the wasteland
A cub that was forgotten by its mother?
But He one said, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.”

Brown
Everyone stopped for it to cross the road.
With its huge body it slowly moved.
Who can guess it runs on the plain like a horse
Swim across the rapids like a trout.
What an amazing animal it is
The king of the Park.

White
With sharp vision locked onto its target
Dive with high velocity and catches its prey
Carry the food to feed its chicks.
Nested on the highest point of the landscape
A beauty in the sky when it spreads its wings gliding.
It’s the highlight of the visit.
