  • It has been snowing 3 days here in Vancouver.  It was so cold outside, but I do love this cold fresh air.
  • My February was filled with both joy and sadness, endings and new beginnings.
  • This year I didn’t have much Chinese New Year celebration, only had a New Year’s Eve family dinner at home.  We stepped into the Year of Rabbit after enjoying my mom’s great dishes, and receiving our first “lai see” (red pocket, as a new blessing) of the year.
  • My lovely goddaughter turned 1 year old this month!  I wish I could see her and give her a hug.
  • Just finished the proofreading project today.  It has been 23 months, and it was a very special season to me.  I thank God for all the inspiration and revelation that He has given me through this project.  The messages in the contents of the work are overwhelming.  Many times I was touched by the messages.  It was not just a freelance project, but also turned out like a spiritual journey to me.  God’s plan and timing are always perfect. 
  • I also thank God for giving me the opportunity to work with my friend in this project, she is a dear sister to me, and very talented, it was a good experience working with her. 
  • It’s time for some reading and writing in the coming months.
  • My favourite teacher in Hong Kong just passed away.  She was my high school class teacher in Form 1 (Grade 7).  I was very sad and could hardly believe it when I heard the news.  I hope she is smiling in Heaven now, and knowing how much her students are missing and appreciating her, for she has been a wonderful teacher and friend to us.
  • One of my old classmates comforted me not to be too sad, and reminded me the blessing of having God in our lives.  I agree this is the greatest joy and comfort in our lives.  God is my hope and strength to live.
  • Have to make a new diet and exercise plan.  Doctors said I need to do more exercise, and still need to gain some more weight.
  • High calories food and drinks are my favourites now.  Let me know if you have tried any good ones!
  • Always appreciate prayers for my health.  Thanks so much!

【每日靈糧】 詩篇十三 Psalm 13

「耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢？
我心裡籌算，終日愁苦要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我要到幾時呢？
耶和華我的神啊，求你看顧我，應允我，使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死；
免得我的仇敵說：『我勝了他』；免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。
但我倚靠你的慈愛，我的心因你的救恩快樂。
我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。」（詩13）

有時候在面對困難和等候拯救時，我也會像大衛一樣，按捺不住地問神：要等到幾時呢？然而深信神是慈愛又信實的神，因此在傾訴過後，便憑信心禱告，並敬拜讚美神。

感謝神容許我們誠實地向祂表逹我們心中的感受。祂不但清楚地知道我們所經歷的，也明白和體恤我們的感受。而就在我們向祂傾心吐意、祈求力量的時候，祂就賜予我們信心和恩典，讓我們可以繼續向前走。

在過去的一年裡，我最深刻的領會就是：無論境況如何，也還是要感恩。有些等待雖然很漫長，但我相信神有最美好的計劃，在祂所定的時候，必定成就。所以不要放棄，只要相信和感恩。
