Discussion Question this week ...

This week's discussion question hits right on my heart's pondering ...

"What tangible difference does it make in one's life and practice to be a psychologist or counselor who is a devoted follower of Christ?  Is it possible to be a committed Christian and one who is committed to the methods of psychology as a discipline? How?  In what ways should being a follower of Christ makes a tangible difference in how one approaches psychology or practices counseling? "

Our Second Birth - I

I have started reading up on Nouwen's book, titled - Our Second Birth - Christian Reflection On Death and New Life. It's Nouwen's diary entries during his Sabbatical year throughout his ministry in DayBreak. 

Want to write down some of his entries that speaks to me personally on my own little journey of solitude.

"... We talked long hours about vocation, competency, church, work, future possibilities, and so on. Most important to me was that Steve is very glad to have left his bank job and loves his studies ... I kept saying 'Be sure that you love the life you are living now, your studies, your prayers, your friendship ... Then you can trust that God will reveal to you the direction to go when the time comes. Buy don't try to know now what you only have to know a few years from now' ... Steve took a risk by embarking on a road he doesn't know much about. But I feel that it is a beautifully inspired rish, worth taking, and not in a secure but basically unsatisfying job. I am convinced that one day his decisions will bear many fruits."

This is what I read at bedtime last night. 

When God reiterates His comforts and assurance through multiple channels, then I know He is taking over. Humbly I learn to surrender all to The One who is above all. 

Coming to think about Risk-taking ... am I ready for another round of it? I am asking myself for an honest answer. 

"I am here" ... that's all I need to hear ... :)

獮猴演義

如過對我認識的友人都知道這多年來猴子是我的心頭好 ...
maybe ... I belong to this place ...

不要讓恩典停留 ...

讓我們張大眼， 看到包圍在我們身邊的恩典 ...

卻不要讓恩典停留在我們身上 ...

再張大眼多一點， 好叫恩典能透過我流到我身邊的人 ...

求上帝叫我有sensitivity  ... 

I guess I know why Life Hymn #247 means so much to me ...

知足

有人好刻意找尋幸福 ...

如果，找不到，就怨天怨地， 像整個世界欠了他一般 ...

恩典其實就是一早放在眼前等我們來發現 ...

很親切的多謝

沒工作的日子

當在忙到透不過氣來的日子， 我會想放大假；
但是， 但是當沒工作的日子時， 卻好不自然 ...
又not exactly沒工作， 只是一月十九日在開始學位的最後三科 ...
差不多full time study的日子快來了 ...

其實， 我很期待這段短短安安靜靜的日子 ...
安靜的聆聽 ...
不知何時開始， solitude對我是那麽重要 ...
可能是有時我覺得我說話太多， 少了聆聽 ...
又可能是我知道有好幾樣人生大事要想想而想安靜一下 ...

講真，心有有幾番話想跟我一班好好的同工和可愛無比的學生分享 ...
讓我好好的collect my thoughts才說吧 ...

Oh, set up 個讀經scheme給自己都好bor ...
Started to pick up my reading on Henri Nouwen's writings ... so refreshing ...

but so far, not used to days without work ...

I hope Spring wil come sooner ... I need the refreshing air ...
