I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0178. Give Thanks

Today in United State is Thanksgiving
We just ate the turkey at office
I think I should give thanks to my dear family

To Mom and Dad
Thank you for giving me the best - Jesus
Thank you for putting up with my badness, unthoughtfulness, impatient, disorder
Thank you for always forgiving me the garbage I created
Thank you

0177. Rip what I sow

We don't think much of the choices we made or the things we do. Sooner or later, we will pay for them. It applies to so many different areas of life.

For example, I knew if I drink that coffee, I will have a hard to sleep that night. But I end of drinking it, and the price I paid is a sleepless night and a super tired Monday. I know I better leave office early to pack but I didn't. So I end of having stuff forgot to bring or to do. If I pack earlier, I probably have enough time to get another bag. If I don't procasnating, I get things done faster and earlier.

0176. 2009 Trip Record #01 -- Being Humble

This is not the first time to travel, nor the first time to take a flight. Therefore, it is very easy to be careless on the preparation.

I thought that I knew all this, I been there. Everything should be okay. I was wrong. I was in a bad shape on the day I about to leave. I usually start my trip in the middle of the week and still work on that day. Therefore, it will end of like this time if I did not pack ahead. I did not pay attention to the time so I arrived home late. Packing was not done and I was hoping to do the laundry and shower before leaving. It turned out everything was rushed. Even though I had everything but it was not a good feeling.

0175. 2009 Trip Record #00 -- Prelude


View 2009 Trip Footprints in a larger map

Many asked me about the trip I made at the end of August. Some even suggests I write down as a testimony. So I will share them as a mini series. Plan to write by topics and not sure how many it will come out.

This is how the trip started: I went to this camp six years ago, right after I completed my master thesis. I don't have much of memory of that camp except a beautiful place and I wished to stay longer.

0173. Be silence

Talking and laughing

But can't be part of it

Because I don't have the same experience

So I am silence

0172. Housing II

I moved last month and loads of house chores to do. At the same time, the thought of getting myself an apartment comes back to me. It seems like it was from God that I wanted to get an apartment a few months back. I tell you the truth that right now I don't have any energy to do this, totally lock of motivation. If that idea was from God, I have to praise the Lord my God for this. He truly knows that I don't want to and have no time to looking for an apartment. He is so nice to me. Now I am anticipating what will become next.

0171. The Month of Losing Money

I have joined quite a bit of membership in Taiwan over last few years. My birthday happens in this month, so I receive quite a numbers of coupons or specials. All they want to do is digging out more $$$ from my wallet. I have to say those are so attractive. My conclusion is that my wallet is losing the most of blood in the month of my birthday.

May God grant me the stronger self-control on this area.

0169. What Did I See?

[Notes of office fellowship, 20090611]
Scripture: Acts 17:15-18, 22-23
"And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans,

0168. First Time For The Money


At beginning of this year, I gave out a frame to a colleague. My colleague asked me where to get the frame. When she knew it was made by me, she ordered a few from me. Based on my habit, I don't create exact the same one unless being request. So it took sometime to finish. I am a little proud of myself.

0167. The First Apartment I Loved

I saw an apartment I love in every way a month and half ago. I have some concerns and didn't go for it. First is about money. Second, it is the first apartment I visit in that area. The apartment was sold last week. Since I pray that wait for me if it is mine, so I didn't feel bad. On the other hand, I didn't have conclusion on the money side. So I think I am not that ready to purchase one. Seven more months till the end of year, loads of time to get one place for myself.

0166. Talk to man more? or to God more?

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. (1 King 10:2, KJV)

More talk to the Lord and less to man because it is a stupit, maybe dangerous, thing to tell others what is your heart. Talking too much to the people will have nothing to say to the Lord.

0165. Work Swirl (19)

Starting from this year, my whole team has relocated in Taoyuan office. Company provides shuttle buses so I don't have to worry about transportation. The downside is increasing the travelling time. I am still adjusting to get the time control well, like heading earlier so I do have enough sleep hours and won't affect my devotion time. I am having hard time to get up early enough when the days towards weekend (running out of engery and not enough sleeps, at same time catching shuttle bus to work on time.)

0163. Reflect & New Year Resolution

Last Sunday worship of the last year was opened for testimonies. While listening, I was ashamed. I wasn't pay attention more often and practice as much as possible. By the end of year, I already forgot the verse, along with all the prayer items I wrote. But this is me, still have a lot of things to learn.

This year, the verse is in Romans 5:11 (Amplified), "Not only so, but we also rejoice and exultingly glory in God [in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received and enjoy [our] reconciliation."
