相信大家都认识约伯，他出名的地方就是“他是义人”。因为对他的认识不浅，我也很少翻开约伯记。感谢天父因为最近要完成学校的一些短文写作，所以再次翻开约伯记，也因此再次得到新的知识。
“我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。”－约伯记42:5
风约伯在42章说了这句话。当时，他已经失去一切。细看第一章，他本来是个大富翁呢！他的家产有七千只羊、三千只骆驼、五百头牛、五百头母驴。哇！他真的超有钱！可能我们这种小市民很难想像他从百万富翁变成个穷光蛋的心情。哈～如果是我的话，我一定会大骂上帝、离开他。但是约伯并没有如此。
我们细看经文，当约伯说“现在亲眼看见你”的时候，上帝还没有把一切还给他。也就是说，约伯还是一无所有。谁能够在一无所有的时候说：“我经历了上帝的同在。” 很多人都是因为失而复得的时候，才回到上帝的怀抱。上帝要给我们一点甜头，我们才会说“喔～感谢主”。很多人对上帝的爱都是conditional (有条件的）。但是约伯不是这样的人，上帝还没有把一切从新赐给他，他已经说他经历了上帝的同在。他对上帝的爱是unconditional (无条件的）。那就是令我佩服的一点！
约伯的确是个信心坚定、敬畏上帝的人。希望我们也可以像他一样，不只在快乐的时候称谢上帝，在苦难中也可以经历到上帝的同在。

红蝴蝶
主唱：吴卓羲作曲:叶肇中 邓智伟作词:陈诗慧
雨水冷洗情不会淡
猛风再吹而不散
愁云和月之间也不孤单
你足以倾城的两眼
较花与草还璀璨
然而眉目恍惚飘散有一丝慨叹
流水透彻出我俩
沿路满布风霜也雪亮
天空灰暗爱得到了景仰
世间什么爱叫纯洁
你甘愿化振翅红蝴蝶
饱经挫折伤口淌血都不至会磨灭
世间什么爱叫纯洁
处在绝望仍力竭
留守最尾一起哪怕历劫
举杯畅饮河边秀美
奏一阙曲传千里
斜阳随着清风已幽幽泛起
你的美比繁花更美
我心却只能希冀
红蝴蝶漫天飞很美我一生铭记
非常喜欢歌词。
“雨水冷洗情不会淡
猛风再吹而不散
愁云和月之间也不孤单“
记得小时候写过一篇文章，是一个关于月亮的故事。结局是如何，我还记得... ...

I am supposed to blog about this long ago. But I keep forgetting. When you grow older, your memory just get shorter or even none. Sad. Perhaps, somethings in life are meant to be forgotten. Alright, let's not get emotional.
Recently, I am learning this in school: How to create an inclusive learning environment for special needs students. COOL~ The few factors are classroom environment, educating other students on how to interact with the special needs child, working with the parents, sitting arrangement and many others. And then, this flashes across my mind...
How to create an inclusive environment for NEW friends in church!
"The cell is not growing", "the fellowship is stagnant" these phrase have been heard a thousand times in my life. "why are people not turning up for fellowship?" oh~~~ This is sad. But honestly, as much as I want the church to grow, sometimes I would love to stay within my comfortable little zone. This "inclusiveness lesson" has taught me alot. I have long forgotten how it is like to be a NEW friend. Until one day, I received an invitation to visit another CG for some programs. And I realise, the first thing which flashed across my mind is, I KNOW NO ONE, so how am I suppose to introduce myself and so on.....
It really puts me in the shoes of new friends and re-evaluate, what does it mean by inclusiveness?
If A invites a new friend C, and for the whole time, C only talks to A. Is it being inclusive? Considering your child in school ONLY talks to his/her partner for the whole day, is the class being inclusive? Considering you attend a fellowship, and no one remembers your name; Considering the seating arrangement, where the new friend is sitting at the corner of the room, almost blend into the walls; Considering the new friend plucks his/her courage to say something, and only gets zero response from the crowd, Considering alot of other factors...
This does not only apply to new friends, but some whom people whom you might have left out in the fellowship... even the cleaner in church needs to be inclusive! Imagine I am the cleaner, and no one says Hi to me...... depressing...

Didn't plan to have a new skin. But i accidentally deleted some html and everything just screw up. So! I decided to change everything.
Well, i guessed if the skin is not screw up, i will not do anything. And my blogskin will remain the same forever. Sometimes, that's life.
A little hiccup gets you out of comfort zone. =) And when you steps out of comfort zone, a little surprise will await you. =)
hmm.. what's my comfort zone? God knows it for sure.

Follow Your Heart.
It's interesting how this phrase appeared a few times within the last few days of my life. It's even more interesting when it comes from Esther, who is not even within 42km of my life.

Ytd I heard another friend experiencing break up, AGAIN. This is like the countless time I heard about breaking up this month. It's just depressing to hear such things. When I was chatting with this friend T, friend T can still joke about it, and said "well, it's a season of breaking ups!" hahaha~
Really appreciate Friend T's humor.
As I chat with Friend T, it's ironic that this friend is experiencing it , but more optimistic than me. hahaha~~ The phrase "break up is good, and the next is better" keeps repeating! And I'm the one who is not experiencing anything, and i am more blue than ever.
"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD." -Ps. 31:24
Ps. Ya~ I need to strengthen my heart, before this whole thing is going to give me a heart attack!
