prayer

What if they decide not to hire me, what if they hire me and I don't competent at this job then I got fired or what if I found that I don't like this job after?

Jeremiah 7:25-26 25 From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets. 26 But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’

Isaiah is most famous for his descriptions of God’s Messiah, among which is this passage from Isaiah 53:4-6
Jeremiah wrote Jeremiah and Lamentations
Ezekiel 以西結書 37:1-14  Israel had failed, but God had not forgotten them and would one day restore and redeem them. This hope in an eventual restoration is vividly portrayed in the famous story of the“valley of dry bones”

It concerns the problems of his faith in the face of two apparent difficulties: (1) Why did God permit the increasing evil in Judah to go unpunished (1:2-4)? And how could a Holy God (1:13) use sinful nations like Babylon as His source of judgment (1:12-2:1)? 哈巴谷書 3:17-19

預表耶穌基督的誕生

The Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. The Minor Prophets are Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
The Major Prophets are described as “major” because their books are longer and the content has broad, even global implications. The Minor Prophets are described as “minor” because their books are shorter (although Hosea and Zechariah are almost as long as Daniel) and the content is more narrowly focused. 

(1) warning of impending judgment because of the nations’ sinfulness; (2) a description of the sin; (3) a description of the coming judgment; (4) a call for repentance; and (5) a promise of future deliverance.

We read of Christ’s birth in Isaiah and Micah. We learn of Christ’s atoning sacrifice in Isaiah. We read of Christ’s return in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah. We learn of God’s holiness, wrath, grace, and mercy in all of the Major and Minor Prophets. For that, they are most worthy of our attention and study.

The preexilic prophets came to warn of impending judgment. Obadiah wrote to or about Edom. Amos, Hosea and Joel wrote to the northern kingdom. Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakkuk, Zephaniah and Jeremiah wrote to warn Judah. 

The exilic prophets wrote to assure the people that God would restore them to the land. Ezekiel and Daniel wrote from Babylon to encourage the people that God would restore the nation. 

The post exilic prophets wrote to assure the people that God would deal with the restored community according to the same principles. They might have been tempted to think that because Babylonia had defeated Israel, the Babylonian gods were superior to Yahweh. One of the postexilic prophet's jobs was to point out that Yahweh was superior and the only reason Israel was defeated was because Yahweh was disciplining them. Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi were writing to the people who had returned to Jerusalem from Babylon.

sad day

3 in a row in one day, makes me even sadder.

I got an email for a job interview on the Friday morning, but I have a community service to serve so I emailed them to explain and asked for a reschedule interview, and got the reply as following, kind of upset but knowing that I should have peace in God that if this is a right job for me, it'll still be reserved for me.

Hi Alice, 

Thank you for your clarification. However, our time for interview this week is set for Friday 11AM. 

We will have another interview if the position is still open next week. I will keep you posted! 

I emailed to a long time no see church sister about that I saw her in The arboretum and I noticed that she was very busy on coordinating the field trip for her adult day care health center therefore I didn't even bother to say hi to her, and then I emailed her, to say hi and for some other thing. And I got this reply, sad but then I realized that I talked to her in person before but never email her, that's why?

Hi Alice,

Thank you for remembering me; would you please remind me maybe your Chinese name? You go to EFCLA too?

The third one is that I emailed a sister in English and it must be my poor English got her confused, so I reply right away explain in Chinese, problem solved.

Alice,我不太懂你7:37pm回我的email是什麼意思。英文和中文都是寫給你的啊，

我是將我現在擔心孩子們的事告訴妳，希望妳也幫Sammie 禱告，還把詳情又寫了一封praying for Sammie給你了解，我以為我們姐妹間可以這樣做。請你回我一下好嗎？我覺得很困惑，希望不要有誤會。

A lot of times, really, is that what you thought is not what other's thought or feel, must be careful, pray for my job changing and wisdom.

half the age

Yesterday I had  my second thanksgiving gathering with another fellowship.

One of the members is 104 years old, I am exactly half her age, amazing, she is such a lovely YOUNG lady and I hope that can have the same energy as her.

Home alone

Home alone on Saturday, kids go out with one of their friends, though they do want me to join them, but I prefer to either go out just three of us or with a big group of people.

Time for my reading and writing and praying and singing and dancing and cooking and more, oh! Boy! Lots of things that I can / should do when the nest is empty.

Now this reminds me last year, I had an interview for narrator, though I didn't get the job. 

Maybe I can just have a not so expensive Professional Microphone myself and do some broadcast on my own leisurely.

How I wish that I have some kind of knowledge of music or psychology so I can use music to help others.

Daylight saving

Why Do We Change the Clocks Twice a Year?

I definitely not appreciate with this kind of saving thing.

Especially right at this time, 5 o'clock, it's pitch-dark outside already.

Another thing is the Smart phone will adjust the time automatically for you, but it also turn off the ALARM for me! It is way too SMART, so it must assume that I won't oversleep by turn the time one hour back, right?

I call these, "Deviled Potatoes"!

Bake at 350°F until one side is tender. Remove from oven, and let cool 15 minutes. 

You probably wonder why only one side is tender, like only half cook, by this way turns the potatoes upside down so the soft cooked side up carefully scoop out potato pulp into a bowl, and you'll get the shells intact easily.

Next sauté all the ingredients and this will be the best time to blend some things that you don't usually like to eat alone or use of the leftovers, when cook mix with potato pulp in bowl until well blended. 

Spoon mixture generously into each potato shell, top with some more cheese and bake again until cheese are melted and slightly turn brown. 

For my ingredients, I have pinto beans, vegetables, beacon, cheese, garlic and some random leftovers, that means, you can experiment with different ingredients every time.

For the ingredients I have, Pinto beans, Onion (sautéed), Garlic (sautéed), and Cheese and also sneak in some Pumpkin and Coconut flesh successfully.

Gifts from heaven

God knows me even before I was born.

Last Thursday (11-2-2017) when I know that I have to work on Saturday and Sunday that I won’t be able to go to church I was so upset.

To me go to church, it's like go to the fuel station; it fuels me up physically, mentally and spiritually; worshipping and fellowship with brothers and sisters, listening to God's words through the pastor's preaching.

Sunday (12-4-2017)  early morning at 12:24 am, a long not seen sister text me for a simple touch the base greeting, at 10:48 am, a sister text me for something about the Thanksgiving Day potluck at her home, and at 1:10 pm,  another sister called me but I missed the call.

God knows my grumbling since and saying that enough is enough, stop complaining and upsetting, fulfill your work, you are the body of Christ you are the church.

Thanks God for sending three angels to save my day.

出聲或不出聲的祈禱主必成就。

我等候你 We wait for You

Lord please helps me take all the darkness, sadness, worry, uneasiness, anger, all the negatives out of me.

hello to you

It seems ages since my last blog, not that I don’t have anything to write or share, just, somehow from some point, I don’t feel like or don’t even have the time or the mood to write anything, but I do always try at least write down some keywords for something that come into my heart every time.

I know that I said this before, will, I have to say it again that I have a lot more to catch up on writing.
