雷雨，心情大起大落

The day started with a thunderstorm on our way to church. I woke up around 7:30 am to prepare smoothies for Steve and me, and beef with macaroni for Nicolas and Travis. I woke up trying to have a good start to the day. Fulfill my duties as a mom and a wife. Nicolas stayed and he hasn't been coming to church often due to this volleyball practice on Sundays.

On our way to church, it was raining cats and dogs and today is the day that Steve and I were supposed to be doing the Industry City 50-mile bike tour. It clearly is not a good day for cycling.

I was able to sit through the Chinese service after I dropped off Travis to Sunday School. I was so touched by songs led by the worship team before today's sermon. The lyrics really speak to the message today. God is worthy of praise, and there is nothing we can do to earn grace and blessings from God, but God is the almighty God and that has always stayed faithful with mercy.

Pastor's Isaac's preaching was based on Psalm 127. 我自己聽到最深刻的就是不要單依靠自己，我們自己要執著去要拼命完成的事，其實唔會冇咗我唔得，只要我們以神爲中心，盡我們能力所及的話，我們能夠掌控的，其實不多，但一切都在神的掌控之内。魏牧師正道期間，我就一直想，真的不要太執著與孩子們共處時遇到的衝突，那些都是我們一起成長的過程，但我們必須要足夠相信神，因爲我們在天上的父，祂掌管一切，沒有神的祝福，一切也是徒然，在神的大能内，就是更不可能的一切，都會有可能。

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,

the builders labor in vain.

Unless the Lord watches over the city,

the guards stand watch in vain.

2 In vain you rise early

and stay up late,

toiling for food to eat—

for he grants sleep to127:2 Or eat— / for while they sleep he provides for those he loves.

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,

offspring a reward from him.

4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are children born in one’s youth.

5 Blessed is the man

whose quiver is full of them.

They will not be put to shame

when they contend with their opponents in court.

詩篇 128:2 CUNP

工作觀
success, significance, sanctification
成功，成就，成聖

詩篇 126:5-6, 128:1-2 CUNP

以神為中心，努力工作

詩篇 23:5, 127:4-5 CUNP

人際關係

詩篇 127:4-5 CUNP

年輕時，少年時，幼年時，
經歷困難受騙受傷害，是對我們成長的幫助，像古代戰爭中的劍

詩篇 127:3 CUNP

我們所擁有的都是來自神的祝福
安息日，是為人而設。安自己的心去敬拜神

詩篇 127:2 CUNP

我們能夠安然，係因為神。不能休息，不能睡覺，甚至不能安然離開，係因為信神的心不足。

可惜啊，今天，聼道后，三次的心碎。也極度心累

1. 弟弟再次因爲玩游戲或運動輸了在發脾氣和沒有禮貌

2. 哥哥因爲不能下載WhatsApp的緣故，再一次以爲他的執著和死纏爛打的招數讓我再度崩潰，我也説出了 FU這種傷人的字句

3. 在哥哥讓我情緒失控的時候，Steve 一直在打游戲。我説出我的難過，由於自己忘記過往的傷痛，居然再次忘記，我是無法得到Steve任何形式上的安慰，每次工作上或我們感情上我對他分享我的難過時，最後都會變成被説教，被怪責，甚至有時候是被羞辱的。
