Session 1:Rainbow


Yeah, I went to Dr Chan finally today!

He told me that I have depression. As I expected. He told me not to think of my babies as babies. They didn't have nerves and feelings yet! They were just embryos. We just did the same thing like many other parents did. We all don't want them to suffer more. I told him that I've realized my feelings of hating to see babies and to hear pregnancy recently. They are getting stronger...I just hate them! The feeling of jealousy seems overwhelming as well!

Honey and I then went to a vegetarian take-away store(三得素食) to buy something good to eat. After that, we went uptairs to Commercial Book Stores to buy books. I bought one about how to keep pores fine and clean. We also bought the 3M Electric Desktop Paper shredder. Though it's a bit slow and it has limitation, it's still better than the manual one. Lastly, we went home by taxi. On the way home, near Hung Hom, I saw a huge rainbow hanging across the sky for a few seconds. Wow, it's beautiful! as the taxi moved forward, we lost the track of it. It's been such a long time taht I haven't see one, a huge one like this. I remember I used to see one after rain at my childhood home in Homantin. Actually, I know that the one I saw today started at Homantin and ended in Hung Hom.

The RAINBOW is just a sign of hope to me. It matters a lot to me. Thank YOU!

Sound of Cicadas

I should start to learn how to heal and love myself with the strength from God.

Step 1: Appreciate the beauty of the world around me.

It has been such a long time that I haven't stopped to enjoy the orchestra played by cicadas. I still remember I used to have fun with my neighbours to catch cicadas in summer when I was in primary school. As we were surrounded by nature, a rare living place existed in urban Kowloon area, it's a common phenomenon to see them resting on trees. When we were able to catch them, we would tie a thread on their legs and let them fly, in the end, the funniest part would be we flew cicadas instead of kites. We were all cold-blooded and crazy when we were small. It's a kind of monstrous game. Of course the destiny of these little creatures would be fatal!

This morning, I just stopped in the middle of the road leading to KCR University Station and enjoyed the sound of nature. Wow, the sound is loud and clear. It's just the same one I heard 2X years ago!

Swimming class 1

Yesterday I had my first swimming class with my younger brother and sister at Metro City. I just love it. I love to spend time with them. Actually, I can see we have things in common. We have blood loaded with humour and fun. we all love to play!

Well, my swimming skills are ok to teach them. I just hope that honey can recover very soon and join us for th swimming class. He will be a better coach!

I also hope that my younger brother can learn to relax more and practise maybe a thousand times just to learn how to float! He should have the mindset to think in this way, "If I think I can, I can!" I know it really is a big challenge to him. But he'll just have to make great effort to overcome it! My younger sister is quite good. I always think that she is lovely and talented. Provided that she is hard-working for the practice, all she needs to do is to graspe the correct skills and she will be able to swim well.

Maybe next Monday, we should invite mom and dad as well. I should also go there earlier so that we can have more time to play! Good ideas!

Am I leading a happy life today?

腓 立 比 書 4 (Chinese Union Version (Traditional))

6 應 當 一 無 罣 慮 , 只 要 凡 事 藉 著 禱 告 、 祈 求 , 和 感 謝 , 將 你 們 所 要 的 告 訴 神 。

7 神 所 賜 、 出 人 意 外 的 平 安 必 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 保 守 你 們 的 心 懷 意 念 。


Philippians 4 (The Message)

6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Philippians 4 (New International Version)

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Think:

1. Reread Philippians 4:6,7. What is the result of not being anxious, but presenting our requests to God through prayer and petition with thanksgiving?

2. Sometimes we are anxious about life because we are sitting around thinking about it. What specifically can you do today to live life to the fullest? Do it today!

My feelings and thoughts:

Well, I just find that my life is still in a mess, better say it is still under God's construction. Yeah, it's always a mess in a construction site before the building is completed. Foundation is important and it takes time.

I know that worrying is not good and it's just my habit of worrying things like my family, my future, my life, honey's health...I pray. I do pray, but am I praying in a wrong way? I do tell my worries and wishes to God, sometimes I thank God, but I still worry. Oh, Lord, please heal me and teach me how to do it? How to do with faith and trust? I need you so much.

Maybe the cure is to live one day well. Don't think about much of tomorrow. What can I do today to make my life to the fullest? Let me think...Well, I'm going to CU today for the first class of the summer intensive course. I'll try to be witty-minded but diligent of course to fulfil the course requirement but don't place too much pressure on myself! Just try my best, ok? Then, I'll look at the sofas in the afternoon and go to MK to look for The Message. After that, go for a swim and prepare for dinner. That's it!
