Shouting for Joy! – Heman Ho (Faithful Team)

I have noticed that my household has been happier in recent days, and I believe this is a result of my mother’s decision to shout for joy regularly. I was surprised when she first did so, but since then, I have realized that it is very normal for us to express our joy. Additionally, I noticed that shouting for joy brings a surplus of benefits to yourself and the people around you. I wish to continue this practice and I’d like to encourage everyone to shout for joy as well. Perhaps doing so will make our families more lively and

行過死蔭幽谷 – Wendy Gu (Golden)

一個多月前，我小中風入醫院，好深經歷主耶穌24小時同在。醫生擔心我腦部出現問題，所以留在醫院觀察檢查，在病房第二天晚上去洗手間，突然感到頭暈，便叫護士來幫忙，護士着我躺在床上，突然胸口痛，全身發麻，手腳抖動，不能說話，但我心裏很清醒。雖然不能說話，但心裡呼喊：「主耶穌啊，救我！救我！」醫生、護士來急救我，為我做腦掃描等等，戴上氧氣後，漸漸穩定。感謝主耶穌帶領我走過死蔭的幽谷，因為有主的同在，我不懼怕。在住院期間，每天向神禱告、感恩、唱詩歌，精神好，便讀聖經，我經歷主耶穌24小時的同在。在病房裏，有個年輕男病人，每天日夜都大聲開手機，用刺激的音樂，恐怖電影麻醉自己，護士多次勸告他都不聽，一開始，我真的不習慣，我向主耶穌禱告，衪穌幫我說話，教我在苦難中更加體諒別人疾病痛苦，也想到主耶穌為我釘十字架，受苦大愛，使我在患難中學會忍耐，心裏無怨恨，反而覺得他很苦，沒有主耶穌，人生無盼望，唯有用毒品和刺激的音樂麻醉自己，我深感自己幸福，因為我信了主耶穌，有不一樣的人生，充滿盼望。

在患難中歡歡喜喜 – Thomas Lee (Treasure)

上年我太太證實有胃癌，我經常鼓勵她，為著我們所擁有的感恩。最近她鼓勵我，用聖經的一句話去提醒我:『不要怕、只要信。』無論身體有什麼變化，醫生有什麼負面的話都不用怕，要信任主到底，因我們過往透過很多的禱告經歷神是真的。她又提我要面對現實，意思是要我去體會一個更大的現實–我們有永生。今生是短暫的，主耶穌在天上為我們預備了一個永恆的家鄉；那裡沒有死亡，病痛，分離。我們一家認識主，將來一家團聚不再分開。這個盼望使我們面對死亡仍有平安，因為死亡不是人生的終結。另外，我們知道神很愛我們，祂是全能的神，掌管萬有，太太胃癌，我沒有問過神點解，因為我信任神將最好的給我。一切事情發生都有祂的美意和益處。雖然前路未明，但我們沒有憂憂愁愁，反而笑面迎人，因我們有永生和永恆的盼望而歡呼喜樂。

I’m a Blessing! – Katy Lee Law (Mighty Team)

Lately I’ve been experiencing the effect of one good thought and truth, which is that I’m a blessing to others. Before I do different tasks, I try to remind myself that I’m blessing others. It not only helps me to not complain about the tasks of my day, but it also makes every task meaningful and reminds me to find ways to really bless others. So when I’m cleaning the washrooms and mopping the floor, I think, “My family is so blessed to have me.” Before I start my work day, I think of the colleagues and students I will

禱告注意與主交流 – Angela Lin (Morning Star)

最近星期五晚Violin的信息使我對日程禱告有了新的理解。以前覺得日程禱告必須按著範本去禱告，需要很長的時間去禱告才算完成。但在信息中，Violin用了六個簡單的圖片讓我們知道每天可以為哪些方面去禱告，生動有趣又容易記住。當我跟著那六個方面去禱告的時候，我更體會每個方面的重要，但同時不用擔心每個方面需要禱告多長，反而更加注意和主的交流，讓自己的禱告變得更加個人化。小組裡的姐妹還設定了目標，每天會一起「打卡」，彼此鼓勵和提醒，感謝主使我們有一個很好的氛圍一起進步。

Feel easy and light to pray – Leslie Wu (Morning Star)

After Violin’s recent message on the daily prayer, I made slight modifications which helped me to pray with more burden. Before praying each part, I would consider what are my needs or what do I really want rather than going on auto mode. This way my prayers are more desire driven, hence increasing my burden and passion, yet at the same time I feel easy and light. I also feel more connected to the Lord when I pray.

My heart feels peaceful when I pray steadily – Wendy Kuang (Morning Star)

After I started praying steadily recently, I feel that I have the presence of the Lord every day, and I have the care and protection of the Lord. I feel my heart is getting closer to the Lord’s heart. Every time I was irritable, I turned to the Lord, and prayed. I felt extremely peaceful in my heart afterwards. I know that He could hear my prayers at any time.

My Sustained Habit of Washing Dishes Promptly – John Leung (Mighty Team)

Since January, I have been washing dishes soon after meals. I used to let dishes soak in the sink while I spent time on my computer. Through brothers and sisters’ reminders, I realized that washing dishes promptly means being sanitary and helps me to overcome procrastination and be more responsible. The recent messages on Wednesdays about going from glory to glory encouraged me to continue on building this habit. Even though I’d have negative thoughts when I struggle to sustain a habit or goal, I can improve little by little with diligence, commitment, and effort. Moreover, both God and brothers

星星陪我坐飛機 – Anna Chen (Morning Star)

神的創造真的很美很奇妙，原來在平流層上看到的星星有那麼多那麼亮，密密麻麻地佈滿整個天空。當雲層把地面城市的燈光遮住的時候，在天上看星星顯得特別亮。近視的我看到亮的星星已經有很多，還有很多是我看不清或者看不見的。原來在我以為漆黑一片的夜空，神為我預備了這麼多這麼美的星星。我之前看不見，不能怪神沒有預備啊！神早已在背後默默地預備著一切，只是我站的高度限制了我的視野。也因為溫哥華太冷，我晚上沒有站出去抬頭看星星。在飛機上一直重複聆聽 ”Rising Star”（中文版《讓我發光亮》），真的好應景。我們不用怕又深又長的黑夜，夜越黑，星星越亮。我不需要做黑夜裡最閃亮的星，只需要與弟兄姐妹一起發著光，共同照耀和點綴著夜空就行。眾星閃耀的天空更美。
