9-11-2015

Yesterday is 911 2001, 14^th year anniversary and when I jump into my car, the clock shows, 9:11, the temperature reads, 91, what a coincidence. It’s like remind me do not forget this incident, and for those who sacrifice their lives now and then to recusing lives there. May peace and joy with the world.

prayer request

Hope that you are not shocked by the words, prayer request; next week I will have an audition opportunities for Kairos communication service international as an narrator. My heart is full of joy and tremble at the same time, a brand new thing that I’m going to experience; I hope I can take advantage of this special opportunity.

Things happen, often seem unrelated in our life, but when you piece them up, you’ll find it just like jigsaw puzzles, it becomes a wonderful, an unexpected picture.

When I’m in elementary school, my language teacher says to me one day, she thinks my Mandarin is fairly good; therefore, she is going to put me into some kind of contest for recitation. Was timid when heard this news, feeling proud of myself and fear of failure, but later, the teacher choose another student to participate instead of me, since then I have never had any opportunity to participate in any kind of training and competition regarding this. In fact, for years, I’ve been feeling sorry for this.

In recent years, an idea come into my mind, a change of job or life path, hoping to find a suitable job in either church or non-profit institutions or other similar fields, still waiting for chances to come.

A few months ago, because a brother's need for using voice typing and another brother teaches him how to, texting or searching or browsing the Internet, it turns out that for me, is a big benefit and learning too. For my typing is slow also when use voice typing, I have to speak slowly and very clearly, otherwise the computer cannot understand and render my speaking correctly.

You see this big picture? I’m very looking forward to have this opportunity to serve, this is not just a regular announcer; it is an opportunity to spread God’s love and grace.

A few years ago when I first start my own blog, I dream about it, maybe one day I can become an independent writer, I later find that how insignificant l am and not that stand out among those millions of bloggers neither, so I try some ways in order to expanding my readers, I add a number of different variety of topics, and add some pictures, to attract more readers.

As this narrator cer try out opportunity , an idea arouse my mind, I can use my voice to express my thoughts on daily life and how God made a wonderful change for my life, God's power and grace is profound, I sometimes joked with my friends, even a timid person like me can reach some difficult goal, you will do better than me, so do not let fears or other concerns stumble your steps, stride on now!

Therefore, no matter how the result of the interview comes out, I will have this new idea in my plan. Please wait and see, oh no! I mean wait and listen to me shortly.

 

代禱 prayer request

聽到代禱一詞，可能把你們嚇了一跳，不要為我擔心，只是小事一件，下星期我將會有一個為開路者協會應徵播音員的試音機會。雖然我只是抱著一個嘗試的心，但心中卻很重視這件事，一件全新的事，一件不一樣的嚐試和轉變，希望我可以把握這個特別的機會。

在生活中常有一些事情的發生看起來似乎互不相關，但當你將ㄧ件件串連起來的時候，卻像是ㄧ個千萬片的拼圖一般，慢慢拼連在一起成了ㄧ幅美麗的圖案。

小學時我的國文老師有一天對我說，她覺得我的國語還算標準，準備栽陪我參加朗誦比賽，當時膽小的我聽到這個消息，感到既期待又怕受傷害，怎知後來老師選了另一個小朋友参加，自此後我就從來沒有過機會參加任何訓練和比賽。這幾十年來在心中對此一直有些遺憾。

近些年來在心中更有了一個想法，轉換跑道換工作，希望能夠在非營利機構或者是教會或是相關機構找到一份合適的工作，但這個願望始終還沒能實現。

數月前因為一位弟兄的需要和另外一位弟兄教他如何使用語音控制來打字、傳簡訊或者是在網路上查找，怎知這對我來講也是一大收穫和學習。這不但對一個打字緩慢的我來說是一大福音，而且用語音來控制打字，我必須說話緩慢且標準，否則電腦無法正確判斷我的用詞。

你看出這一幅美麗的圖像了嗎？非常期盼有這一個服事機會，這不僅僅是一個普通的播音員，更是一個將神的話語和愛傳播出去的機會。

幾年前當我開始自己的部落格時，曾經夢想著，也許，有一天我也可以成為一位獨立的文字工作者，後來才發現在茫茫眾多的部落部格作者中，我是多麼的渺小和不起眼，於是我開始想該如何擴大我的讀者群，我加入了許多不同的主題，後來更加入一些圖片來吸引更多讀者群。

這一次播音員試音的機會更激起我另一個想法，我還可以嘗試用聲音來表達我對人生的想法和神是如何在我生命中做奇妙的改變，神的大能和恩典是何等的長闊高深，我有時跟朋友開玩笑說，就連我 Alice 這樣一個膽小退縮的人都可以達成不一樣的目標，你一定可以做的比我更好，不要怕往前跨一步吧！

所以不論這次播音員試音結果如何，我都將將這一個新的想法加入我的計劃中。請大家拭目以待，喔不！我的意思是，洗耳恭聽。

seafood rice

Clam, sea cucumbers, salmon and of course rice, first have all the seafood cook just when they are cook, bring them out and use those seafood stock to cook the rice same thing with the noodles, you only need to add salt and pepper to taste, it’s deliciously good.

checks

The other day I went to pick up the checks from the law office for my dad’s car accident case, it’s been two years, finally, it finalized. That day I saw an old couple also pick up the checks and leave happily.

In a car accident, if you are lucky, not your faults and not hurt seriously then you healed and get to have compensatory for other’s mistake, which you deserved it.

I understand that there are consequences after every action you make. But not happy about to getting the money from it, I don’t know why?

And in some cases people die from accidents or get serious injury and the body don’t function normally anymore. That’s so cruel.

vegetables

This morning (when I continue writing is the second day) I use the time before go to work, I cook a vegetable dish, a pot of mung beans, slice a giant honeydew melon so before I get home, the kids can have something to fill up their stomachs.

First I cut the vegetables then wash and soak them in the water, since I have no time to lose; I use this waiting to browse the web and of course including listening to the living life. When it is time for cooking the vegetable, again, I do not waste any time in between, slice the melon and prepare the beans for cooking later.

bodyguards

When my kids were younger and people told me, “you should find yourself a boyfriend”, I answered, “but I already had two”, yes! My two loving kids are my boyfriends.

Now that they are older and both, of course stronger and taller and smarter and much more in any way than me, they are my bodyguards.

Time’s fly, it’s an old saying, but so true, mixes with joy and sad moments.

I ask God for more blessings for them in each any way, lives, safety, health, wisdom, future marriage, future generations, self control, study, work, friendships, fellowships, relationships, leaderships, kind hearts, serving hearts and many more ways that in between or beyond my thoughts.
