A New Beginning

 Just wanted to jot down my thoughts and prayers in this space. This is a new beginning. I want to be closer to You, Lord. Please ignite the fire in my heart again. May my everyday life please You and contain opportunities for me to meet You face-to-face. May Your love fill me so that I know how to love my family, children, and others.

“Direct me, Yahweh, throughout my journey so I can experience your plans for my life. reveal the life-paths that are pleasing to you. Escort me into your truth; take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation; I have wrapped my heart into yours all day long!” Psalm 25:4-5

End of the Year of the Snake

It feels surreal that I am sitting at home at 5pm writing this blog leisurely. It feels strange that I can have today and tomorrow off thinking about and doing nothing. I do desperately want to improve my writing though, in both Chinese and English. Hope reading will help! :)

Make a wish in the Year of the Horse!  Hope I can be healthier and healthier! :D

The Roller Coaster has Officially Begun

I've never thought Canada is such a popular destination for Working Holiday. I thought I could even apply for it in April or June honestly. And now I applied 5 days after the application had opened and I am on the waiting list. Frankly, I didn't even believe my eyes when it says remaining quota is "waiting list" on the website. 

Anyway, the Holy Spirit has been telling me that God has a plan. And in fact, He does. He has the best plan for me and this is also what people around me have been telling me tonight. Though I clearly acknowledge this truth and part of me truly feel this way, I still can't help feeling a bit blue and lost. My mind starts to formulate a lot of plans here and there, like I can work for Celia for a few months or simply do something for a few months and then apply again in 2015. I know all these formulations come from my lack of faith in Christ. And I should abandon all these thoughts. 

Invite you to join this journey with me by praying with me for the road ahead. May God use me to serve Him and everyone He loves!  

Be true to yourself

I figured if I don't get this out of my mind, I won't be able to work so I better finish this quickly and storm all the work I have.

I have been back to HK from Cambodia for 3 days. Every day, some memories of Cambodia pop up in my mind. I am always stroke by how powerful some memories can be. I guess it shows that I was really happy and relaxed at that moment. I fear that some day somehow I will forget all those memories and I sincerely hope this will not happen.

After the "unforgettable night", I just want to be genuine to everyone, be true to myself, and not to let any boundaries restrict me in 2014. Smile, love, and play.

To a special friend who touched my heart, may we continue our friendship and be even closer friends who share ups and downs in life. I will miss you always, at least in this month. Ha!

Thank You

第一次是小組的reading，讀到上帝是我們的朋友，而我們不是上帝的僕人，例子是摩西及大衛。

第二次是跟教會的傳道人食飯，他跟我分享他神學院的老師的經歷，他將要去加拿大，他問神，神想他在加拿大做什麼。神反問他，其實你想做什麼呀？他說了一堆。神說，幾好丫，咪做囉。

第三次，是星期天在台南的教會。牧師正正說了reading的同一個信息，對啊，我們是上帝的朋友，朋友是重視關係。If it matters to you, it matters to Him. 神在意我們的想法及意見，衪亦會因為我們的想法及意見而影響衪的決定。重要的是，我們向神求能力，及找到我們想在這個世界造的改變。

感謝主沒有放棄與我說話。當衪想要跟我說話，衪會確保我是知道、聽到的。三次，都是同一個信息。當我問完又問問完又問地問神，究竟我下一年的方向是什麼。神反問我，梁燕鳴，你喜歡什麼呢？你想要什麼呢？

Thank you God. You are so great.

Pandora's Box

一切源自《被偷走的那五年》。

上星期五是中秋節的假期，跟友人去看早埸。已經很久很久沒有看過早埸，事前也沒有看過其他人對《被偷走的那五年》的感想，所以沒有預料到原來是一個極悲慘的結局，以致也被負面的情緒影響了一整天。但看完之後，我愛上了張孝全。
　
所以，整個週末都是在圍著他轉。看了《女朋友。男朋友》，看到完後又覺得桂綸鎂真的很棒，所以又看了桂綸鎂的出道作品《藍色大門》。

其實看完《被偷走的那五年》及《女朋友。男朋友》後，我以為張孝全在鏡頭裡就只是那個樣子，一副呆呆的、傻傻的樣子。但是瘋狂地在四天內看完《醉後決定愛上你》，卻發覺其實他是一個不錯的演員。

更令我喜歡他的是，他是一個真心的人。看到他在訪問中，被問到有沒有女朋友呀，或是在《醉後》有沒有跟楊丞琳過電，他都沒有說謊的把真實答覆說了出來，面帶一點點害羞。他應該是一個不懂得說謊的男人吧。

看了《醉後》，也對楊丞琳改觀了。從前，我以為她總是裝可愛，但事實上，她真的是一個可愛的女生。

: ) 加油啊丞琳及全哥！

Picking Up Writing Once Again

I hope that I can pick up writing once again because the following two years are going to be precious. I want to record more as I am going to be preparing for going to Canada next year with a Working Holiday visa. That's the plan so far if God don't close the door. I am indeed very excited about living in Vancouver. I can start cooking again. I also want to explore sewing. Maybe this can be my little business, selling pencil bags, make-up bags and cute things like those. I can blog all these and maybe one day I will be a column writer (definitely thinking too far), HA! 

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival and I am going to have a long weekend! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! Ciao.
