豐盛的應許

今天新朋友淯鈴帶我去台北真理堂參加聚會,很神奇的是…才剛走進一樓大廳,就覺得有一種不可思議的感動,也許我心裡有我不知道的憂愁累積,又或者像淯鈴跟我說的,這是上帝在告訴你祂很愛你。

來到新公司之後工作一直都還沒上手,但遇到不少同事都對我很好,今天讓淯鈴招待一頓中餐,還送了我一張cd,只因為我說了一聲:『我很喜歡剛剛聚會時唱的第三首詩歌。』。

生命中一直都有對我很照顧的長輩老師,或是貴人與朋友,親愛的上帝謝謝你一直讓我遇見這些人,,我會繼續加油,還請你多多照顧……………

聚會時唱的我很喜歡的第三首詩歌,他的歌詞是這樣的:
————-
豐盛的應許 By Faith, I Receive
詞:鄭懋柔  曲:游智婷

你仰臉保守你所愛的 你護庇永遠不離 你將我從淤泥裡捧起 放我在你的手心

我憑著信心領取 你豐盛的應許 世界也不能奪去 神美好的旨意

我憑著信心領取 你恩典永不止息 看見美好應許成就 榮耀全都歸於你

我等候主我相信 你愛我永不放棄 世界也不能奪去 神美好的旨意

我等候主我相信 你旨意高過我的 看見美好應許成就 我全心全意敬拜你

夢想大塞車

那些比較高遠且須付出更多努力又不好玩的夢想先不討論,我今天晚上列了一下預計要作卻已經塞車的夢想,如果只列出玩樂性質的,眼前看起來就有下面這些:

  • 阿哖想爬玉山(這要一些手續,而且要排隊,不過我的朋友毛妹可以幫我解決這個難題,所以這是小菜一碟,我想這件事情我可以放心,我作得到。)
  • 阿哖想去衝浪,但這應該不太好學會,而且基本的體能要很好,為了學衝浪跟完成鐵人三項的比賽,我這一年也算認真練習過游泳,但海跟游泳池畢竟有差,而且如果這種運動要花很多銀兩,那我就要認真想想要不要練這項技術。
  • 荷蘭單車之旅,歐元這種漲法,我看我要很有錢很有錢才會離荷蘭近一點,不過這件事情很重要,我一定會成行。
  • 我要完成鐵人三項的比賽。
  • 至少完成一套我的舞台魔術,這個很拼…真的很拼。
  • 不到長城非好漢,我是好漢所以要去爬長城!!
  • 現在,要增加一個去埃及看金字塔。

鏡中的自己,要什麼?

我這陣子一直煩兩個問題,一件事情是愛情,另一個問題是關於理想的堅持,我有時會覺得也許這兩件事情,其實是同樣的一件事,我在這個深夜想通了一些事情,雖然不一定就是對的答案,但有時候我們只是要一個答案,他不一定需要對,很多問題也沒有一定對的答案。

配合現在的心情跟想法,我腦子裡突然出現一首歌曲,這首歌是我很喜歡的歌手Michael Jackson的歌曲,這幾年我常常在工作跟現實中掙扎,堅持想要的理想很累,但放棄的話我不會比較快樂,這些是我想做的事情,雖然會有煩惱跟痛苦,雖然會有挫折跟不順利,但這是對的事情,我要堅持我的理想直到我可以相信我自己,我已經盡了全力,我想……到了那一刻我才能不後悔,不遺憾。

這些話講起來有點沉重,但我心裡反而很平靜,有種輕鬆的感覺。

“Man In The Mirror”

I’m Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin’ My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer’s Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man’s Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya’ Know
‘Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That’s Why I Want You To
Know

I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

I’ve Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It’s Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They’re Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody’s Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya’ See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That’s Why I’m Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Ooh!)
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)

I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I’m Asking Him To Change His
Ways
(Change His Ways-Ooh!)
And No Message Could’ve
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .)
Change!

I’m Starting With The Man In
The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make The Change)
(You Gotta Get It Right, While
You Got The Time)
(‘Cause When You Close Your
Heart)
You Can’t Close Your . . .Your
Mind!
(Then You Close Your . . .
Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That
Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror
(Man In The Mirror, Oh Yeah!)
That Man, That Man, That Man
I’m Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Better Change!)
You Know . . .That Man
No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah
(Oh Yeah!)
Gonna Feel Real Good Now!
Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah
(Ooooh . . .)
Oh No, No No . . .
I’m Gonna Make A Change
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good!
Come On!
(Change . . .)
Just Lift Yourself
You Know
You’ve Got To Stop It.
Yourself!
(Yeah!-Make That Change!)
I’ve Got To Make That Change,
Today!
Hoo!
(Man In The Mirror)
You Got To
You Got To Not Let Yourself . . .
Brother . . .
Hoo!
(Yeah!-Make That Change!)
You Know-I’ve Got To Get
That Man, That Man . . .
(Man In The Mirror)
You’ve Got To
You’ve Got To Move! Come
On! Come On!
You Got To . . .
Stand Up! Stand Up!
Stand Up!
(Yeah-Make That Change)
Stand Up And Lift
Yourself, Now!
(Man In The Mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah-Make That Change)
Gonna Make That Change . . .
