时间真的是用飞的，一眨眼，2008已经过了5天。
不能不感叹：没有时间了，主再来的日子越来越近。
2007年是大起大落的一年，好像2007年的股市和油价一样。
2007年初，没有人会预料到什么事会发生。
但不论发生什么事，都在神的应许下发生。
即便是坏事又何尝不隐藏着福气。
很多诉不尽的感恩。
–舒诗信主了。前路必定坎坷，但她多了神相伴。
–一年内去了5趟mission trips：CHOL、柬埔寨、巴淡岛、关丹和尼亚斯
–同父母到西藏旅行。21天的年假好像源源不断，是神的恩典。
–两次加薪。这是完全出乎意料之外的。
尤其是在我决定缩紧腰带，改变生活方式时，神的供应恰时抵达。
–神让我离开一个教会，却使我能够到另一个教会去继续成长，没有叫我沉沦。
2008年会是怎样的一年。我说不准。可能有更多的障碍，更多的无奈。
但我相信，只要在这条狭窄的信心路上步步为营，就会领受到更多福气。
这里分享一个牧师的新年志向。
1. Let me live fearlessly – “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21) Whether I live or die, I belong to Him. Nothing can separate me from Him. Help me, Lord, to throw caution to the winds and then to boldly strike out for You!
2. Let me be focused – “this one thing I do” (Phil. 3:13). Be a “one-thing” Christian – To know Him and to make Him known! To waver is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
3. Let me be rejoicing in the Lord – “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice” (Phil. 4:4). HE is with me, in me and for me! Nothing, nobody can go against me! God’s will is the best in everyone and in every situation!
4. Let me be generous in my giving – “For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity” (Phil. 4:16) – giving my life, my money and my testimony, again and again, investing in eternity, investing in souls for whom Jesus died, rose up and coming again. “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Rev. 22:12).
再加一段早晨灵修的功课：
Give Him thy first thoughts,
Then, so shalt thou keep
Him company all day and in Him sleep.
- Henry Vaughan
新年蒙恩！
