神所愛的祂必管教 喜樂姊妹感恩見証分享

願敬畏耶和華的說:「祂的慈愛永遠長存!」我在急難中求告耶和華,祂就應允我,把我安置在寬闊之地。有耶和華幫助我,我必不懼怕,人能把我怎麼樣呢?(詩篇一一八:四至六)	
	我的英文姓名是JOYCE YUE,在受洗之前,幾乎每週日都參加教會崇拜活動、教會團契和各種學習活動,我也積極追求主耶穌。我的生活方式也改變了很多,但是我的生命裡還有很多屬世界的追求,有眼目的情欲和今生的驕傲等。	
	為了能讓我的兒子在二○一八年九月進入一個好的初中上學,我便從二○一七年就開始在紐約長島幾個好的學區尋找房子。幾乎每個週末都去看房子,看房之前我也禱告,求神幫助我找到不錯的房子,也願意開放我的家庭做服事。當時,我並不明白神的心意,神也沒有阻止我。
	終於在二○一八年的七月份,我成功購買了二千七百尺的獨立屋,前後院子也特別大。於是,我開始買材料裝修,購置傢俱,精心佈置新居。每天要打掃室內衛生,冬天鏟雪,夏天除草、殺蟲,秋天掃落葉。可是住進去不到二年,屋頂開始漏水,我便要換屋頂。在三年間,花了很多精力處理房子的問題,即使我膝蓋做手術後,在休養期間,也沒有停止為房子勞碌。每天疲憊不堪,根本沒有因為住了大房子而快樂,甚至感覺自己好像是房子的奴隸,房子的活兒永遠做不完。	
	因為花了太多的精力在房子上,我就沒有拿出更多的時間親近神。雖然我也參加教會團契的各項活動,但我最清楚的,就是付給服事房子的時間,遠遠超過我親近神和事奉神的時間。內心非常不喜樂,對家人也沒有耐性,缺少寬容心和愛心。
	從二○二○年三月份疫情的緣故,教會在互聯網上聚會,待在家裡有更多的時間思考,我究竟為什麼而活?我設立的生活方式的意義在哪裡?自己累個半死,人也得罪,神也得罪,我是一個合神心意的人嗎?我還反覆檢測自己受洗後一年的靈命,感到自己做一個基督徒還沒有到位。在很多事情上我都按照自己的想法去做,沒有真正尋求主的心意。	
	而我的主耶穌基督卻像聖經《路加福音第十五章》裡的那個浪子的父親,祂給我自由意志,允許我做自己想要做的事。而任性的我,卻為自己的錯誤而付出了代價,白白地受了那麼多的苦,而神卻一直陪伴和帶領我。雖然在這個過程中,祂給我有很多次的管教,但在管教之後,我獲得的是更多的恩典—就是我的生命有了突破。因為「耶和華啊,你所管教,用律法所教訓的人是有福的!你使他在遭難的日子得享平安,惟有惡人陷在所挖的坑中。因為耶和華必不丟棄他的百姓,也不離棄他的產業。審判要轉向公義,心裡正直的必都隨從。」(詩篇九十四:十二至十五)神的靈使我明白,因為自己的欲望,我白白受了三年的苦。我們原本就是在地上搭帳篷的,住哪裡不重要,住多大面積也不那麼重要,最重要的是大部分時間都要親近神,神給我們的恩典是夠用的。	
	從二○二一年二月初,我下了決心把房子登上市場售賣。那時正是熱賣搶房時機,我的房子條件也好,但買家和仲介所出的價格,我並不滿意,很難立即出售。為了按我自己的滿意價格賣出去,在跟仲介的合約到期後,我就自己賣。我把房子開放任人參觀了無數次,還是沒有人要買。眼看到其他房源很快便都被搶購了,而我的房子就是不能賣出,每月要支付三仟元費用。
	因為疫情的緣故,我住在法拉盛,幾乎每天從長島到法拉盛,來回都塞車。精力幾乎被耗盡,精神狀態非常不好。我焦慮、灰心,再也折磨不起了。那種鬱悶狀態持續了一個月的時間,而那時,卻是我跟主最親近的時間。我每天迫切的禱告,在神面前認罪,承認自己愛慕世界多過愛主,求主赦免、憐憫我。我對主說:「我願意把生命中一切都交托給你。」事實上,神並沒有因為我的禱告,而立即讓我的房子賣出去,而是藉著祂的子民,把祂的愛傳遞給我,安撫我的心。
	祂藉著主內的弟兄姐妹們來幫助我渡過難關。終於,在同年八月中,神挑選了一個買主,而且出的價格就是我最滿意的價格。我為什麼說那是神做的工呢?因為這個買主沒有孩子要上學,而願意買好學區的房子。買主特別喜歡我的房子和傢俱,屋內所有的東西,她全都要,願意付錢,只想拎包入住。而我正愁傢俱沒地方放,扔掉又可惜。最後在十一月二日交易成功,房子順利過戶。兩方過戶律師都說,這是他們經歷時間最短,最簡單,最順利的一次交易。	
	透過我二○一八年買房,住進去三年又賣房的經歷,讓我學到了屬靈的功課:神允許我遭遇困難,祂一直陪伴我;我緊緊抓住主,當祂看到我真的認罪、悔改了,功課學到了,最後祂拯救我。我感恩,神管教我是為了愛,愛裡面沒有懼怕,我明白了,要因為愛神而順服,不是因為被管教而順服。我們要信主有奇妙的能力,改變我們的個性。最感恩的是被主改變,好處都在我身上,有平安喜樂。
	此外,神賜我亮光,讓我看到自己還有很多需要被改變的地方。我還需要操練新性情,有同理心,憐憫心,多理解身邊的人的感受和遭遇。讓那些需要被服事的人,願意打開心扉,跟我訴說她的需求,我便可以把主的愛傳播出去,使更多人得救贖,有蒙福的人生。求主繼續帶領我前方服事的道路。感謝主的恩典!榮耀頌讚歸於主!

感謝神的預備和安排
        方淼衡姊妹感恩見證分享	
因為你們立志行事,都是神在你們心裡運行,為要成就祂的美意。(腓立比書二:十三)	
	我在香港出生和長大,在中學階段,有一個基督徒同學,帶我去教會,於一九八八年受洗。二○一二年結婚移居美國,這也是我人生一個最勇敢的決定。	
	未信主前,我是一個做事有計劃和謹慎的人,習慣有規律的生活,覺得這樣才有安全感,可以靠自己的能力,在自己控制下進行各樣的事情。若有多一些的改變或不依從原定的計劃而行,便會感到十分緊張和恐懼。
	信主後,我的改變並非一朝一夕的,而是漸漸地發覺無論有怎樣周詳的計劃,也不是能夠如願,我就開始學習信靠神。有一個在紐約的中學同學,介紹了一個主內的弟兄給我認識,但是我在香港,他卻遠在美國,我們之間有兩三年的情誼,只是通過電郵溝通。有一次他來香港探我,我們見面交往了兩天,他便回到紐約,我們便繼續以電郵聯絡。直至二○○九年,我的爸爸突然離世後,又有一個很要好的舊同學腦癌復發而離世,使我的人生有很大的衝擊,感到人生無常,不可以讓自己後悔。	
	本來覺得兩地戀是不切實際的,所以不想開始。因為懼怕失敗和沒有安全感。親人離世的兩件事情,改變了這個看法,覺得要勇敢地行出第一步,祈禱求神讓我明白祂的旨意。後來,我們由交往到結婚,一起見面所相處過的日子不足兩個月之後,我便放下香港的家人、工作和教會,一個人獨自來到美國這個陌生的地方。做如此冒險的事,絕對不會是以前的我,但那一刻就知道這是神的心意,我便專心信靠祂,成為「過埠新娘」移居美國。	
	感謝神!我們結婚後,一切的所有需要,包括金錢、工作、居住的地方和養育孩子等,神都有祂的美意作最好的預備和安排。雖然我常常都有軟弱的地方,但更相信神的恩典和祝福常與我們同在,平安喜樂地行走在主的道上。
二○二二年六月十一日

    I have seen a great deal of useful points on your internet site about desktops. However, I have got the viewpoint that notebook computers are still more or less not powerful sufficiently to be a good selection if you typically do tasks that require many power, like video editing and enhancing. But for net surfing, word processing, and quite a few other typical computer work they are okay, provided you never mind your little friend screen size. Thank you sharing your notions.

    One thing I'd prefer to say is that often before getting more personal computer memory, take a look at the machine within which it will be installed. In the event the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory threshold is 3.25GB. Installing greater than this would merely constitute a waste. Make sure one's mother board can handle an upgrade amount, as well. Interesting blog post.

    I believe that avoiding processed foods is the first step for you to lose weight. They will taste very good, but packaged foods have very little nutritional value, making you take more to have enough strength to get throughout the day. Should you be constantly having these foods, transferring to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more vigor while having less. Interesting blog post.
