页数： 313
这是一本采用了很多圣经中神的话语而写成的一本书。很多人虚度每天的时光 ， 不然就是埋头的做工因他们不知他们为何而活。我们究竟为何而活？？很多人都想知道这个答案。读完这本书 ， 你就能清楚的知道答案了。
这本书清楚的写出人生有5个目标。我们必须清楚的知道我们所做的一切都是为主而作。当然 ， 也是靠着主的力量来完成。
这本书让我学习到很多 ， 尤其在思想上。我们是为上帝而活 ， 而我们的全在也绝非偶然。虽然有时会觉得自己似乎是那么的不起眼 ， 但上帝给了我们每个人重要的使命。我们塑照是为了服侍神。
上帝给我们各人不同的特色。有容易软弱的，有容易退缩的。但我们不可因为这样而自暴自弃。上帝自有它的计划。这一切的一切都是为了让我们成长 ， 为了更像基督。
此外 ， 我们又如何看待苦难呢？苦难是一定会有的 ， 只是看我们各人如何去看待。这本书教导我们苦难让我们经历。我也学习到如何去扶持其他跌倒的人。而 ， 一次又一次的失败 ， 跌倒让我们变得更坚强 ， 更有能力去战胜试探。
此外 ，我们的成长也包括其他基督徒。诚实的相交是我们在孤单挣扎对付顽强试探时的解药。神在雅各书5:16对我们说：“所以你们要彼此认罪 ， 互相代祷 ， 好叫你们得医治”。
我还学习到使用神给我们的一切。随时准备去服侍人 ， 留意周围人的需要 ， 也忠于神的事工。叫人和睦 ， 彼此相爱。当然也少不了每天灵修和祷告的生活。
希望大家有兴趣阅读这本书。

书名：《与巨人同行》
作者：『美』约翰•麦克斯威尔
这本书是我导师介绍我阅读的，里头是关于旧约圣经里头特出人物的在上帝的带领下的生活见证。本书是以剧场的方式介绍圣经人物，把个个圣经人物在他们跟随上帝的脚步路途的经历都写出来，让大家学习他们对上帝的诚心的态度。这些圣经人物大概都有3个对上帝的态度，就是对上帝有信心，相信上帝为他们预备的道路，还有具有很大的勇气来实行上帝给他们的计划。这些圣经人物有挪亚，以斯帖，约瑟，摩西，利百加，亚伯拉罕，尼希米，小使女，大卫和约拿单。
我就简单地介绍10位里头我比较喜欢的3位圣经人物吧，第一位是约瑟。若是我遇到像约瑟被兄长出卖的情况，可能我都会沮丧和埋怨。但是约瑟没有，约瑟反而对上帝有很大的信心来生活。约瑟的生涯是经历了顺境和逆境的磨练。他在这些艰苦的磨练中都要学习该放弃或该坚持什么，不过他给我们的劝告是不要放弃你的梦想。还有一点我们值得学习的是无论在什么时刻，上帝都与我们同在。约瑟的状况是在最坏的环境下锻炼自己，他相信，虽然身在困境，应加以学习知识，才可东山再起。
第二位我想要介绍的是以斯帖。这位智慧皇后是拯救犹太人的特别人物。上帝给以斯帖一个特别的位置，是为了犹太人的预备。本来以斯帖是不敢随意去打扰皇帝的，因为她已经30天没见到亚哈随鲁王了。后来，经过末底改的话改变以斯帖的想法。她就吩咐仆人和侍女禁食三昼三夜，为她冒着生命危险前去见亚哈随鲁王来祷告。最后，以斯帖皇后灭除宰相哈曼想要杀死所有犹太人的念头，成功保住犹太人的性命。她给我们的鼓励是当你明白上帝在你人生中的计划，你就会充满力量去实行。
最后一位我较喜欢的圣经人物是约拿单。约拿单有了长远的目光，协助大卫逃避扫罗的追杀。约拿单的行为是因为他知道上帝所拣选的新王不是他，而是大卫。他是明白上帝的旨意的人，知道有更适合的人来做皇帝，才协助大卫做王。
总儿来说，旧约圣经里头的人物有许许多多我们都应该学习的地方。这本书让你认识这些人物如何在不同的环境下来跟随上帝的脚步。是值得我们学习里头知识的一本书。

信心
“信心就是行动中看见那还没实现的果效。
信心是靠着神的话成为我们脚前的灯。”
对的 ， 上帝的恩典一定够我们用。一次又一次的经历更证明了这一点。当然 ， 我的pharmacy第二学期年终考试也是靠着爱我们的上帝 ， 它浓浓厚厚的恩典以及它大能的手度过的。
一直体弱的我心想到底我该怎样度过这次的考试呢？难道我将要在这次的考试中“战死”考场吗？？？上帝说：“不”。平常容易因考试而紧张的我 ， 这次竟不是很紧张也可以说没怎样的紧张吧！
最多份notes的biochemistry是最令我头痛的。相信每个pharmacy学生都是这样觉得吧！但 ， 靠着一颗相信和一直祷告的心 ， 我豁出去咯。诗篇118:5也如此说 ， “我们要振作起来伸手祷告交托。”。也感恩因上帝的安排 ， biochemistry是第一课考。这样我们就有足够的时间去准备。当然也少不了身边朋友的鼓励 ， 尤其是温暖又可爱团契中的契友在祷告中纪念。就这样 ， 考完咯！！
愿我们时时刻刻都有一颗依靠主的心。保罗说：“我将我所有的精力专注在一件事上 ， 就是忘记背后 ， 努力向前”。 因此 ， 我们要专心竭力追求目标 ， 我们心里所想要的 ， 神会赐给我们但也要跟着它的旨意。阿门。

John Waller : While I Am Waiting
John Waller
While I Am Waiting
Take a minute and imagine this :
you are STARVING.
You finally found a restaurant.
But, it's full of people.
You have no choice, this is the only restaurant you can find.
You grumble to yourself and you join in the super long queue.
You waited and waited.
Sweats are dropping from your hair, and they stink.
What would your response be?
A) Complaining
B) Angry
C) Wondering why is this happening to yourself
D) All of the above
Obviously the answer is D.
Very often, when we wait for something, we tend to get impatient.
Then all the whining, complaining, anger, will come along.
And often, we might just walk away.
This is no difference when we see our walk with God.
We face problems and difficult situations in life. They tear us apart, they worn our souls out, they rip away our faith.
We pray, and we wait.
But very often, in the process of waiting, frustrations, anger towards God tag along and sometimes we even start to wonder if the so called God really exists or not.
Some just stray away from Him, when they think that they have waited for too long.
All the anger, complaints overshadowed the faith that we should have.
We focus on our own earthly emotions, that we zoom in to the negative things and we let it swallow the light which we will find at the end of the tunnel.
I was sort of being awaken when i came across this song.
John Waller sings,
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I was shocked, actually.
Especially by ''while i'm waiting, i will worship".
Ashamed, but true, i have never done that before.
Each time when a problem strikes, and i wait for the answer.
However it never comes along with the thought of worshiping Him while waiting for the answer. What we always ended up doing is, asking Why Me? Why this? Why now?
And we worry about it all the time, all of our prayer will only be filled with "God, why?"
We got so lost and busy with our own whys and anger that we forgot how to praise Him and worship Him.
It is just like, something bad just happened, but you still have to give thanks to God who let that happened.
It's hard to be done.
But, when we fully understand Jesus, it is not hard to be done at all.
All you need, is, faith.
When we have faith in Him, all things are possible.
Just like it's said in Philipians 4:13 -I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me-
It is tough times like these, when we have to fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)
And in times like these, we should learn how to worship and serve Him while waiting. Because very often, these are the times when God is working something through us.
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

阅读报告：Peace Child
Lily Soon
Title : Peace Child
Peace Child is a book written by missionary, Don Richardson. This book tell of how God reached out to the most barbaric tribe of people that is unheard by many through His willing servants. We always hear how people say, "Go. God will guide you, He will put words in your mouth and prepare the way for you, only if you're willing to go." Many of us would nod and agree but how many of us would actually GO and dedicate our life to His work in the mission field? Indeed who can do God's work apart from the Almighty Himself? But, we can be his tools to reach out to others, and it might even be that neighbour who had been living next door for the past 20 years!
Don Richardson and his wife, Carol risked their life to share the Good News to an uncivilised group of people, the Sawi tribe of Papua New Guinea. These people had never seen the outside world, and speak only the Sawi dialect. Together these two missionaries brave the unknown, the dangers of living among headhunters, cannibals and there, they build a home among the people, reach out to them, start a family there, all on the foundation of faith that they have in God, to keep them safe, not only from the barbarians but from diseases such as malaria in the jungle.
From an uncivilised tribe who believe in fattening up victims with friendship (gaining their trust to prepare for slaughter), they became the people who fear God and come to believe. The missionaries tried to reach out to them but to no avail. But they pressed on, believing that God will make a way, and that God has His own timing and method.
Who would have known that the traditions that the tribe have would be the key to opening the hearts of the Sawi people to the gospel. The title of the book, Peace Child refers to the tradition where two tribes make peace with one another by exchanging their child as treaty that they will no longer attack one another. Even these uncivilised people could understand the pain of giving up their children. Through this, slowly, Don see this as a breakthrough, a stepping stone to how to share the gospel with these people. He relate about how Jesus is an eternal "Peace Child" from God himself, that came to bring peace to us all. (to redeem us from our sins and give us eternal life).
From a tribe of cannibals and headhunters, they became a group of God-fearing people who served and love God with all their heart and soul. They built their own church, even having missionaries and pastors emerging from among the Sawi people. What an encouraging experience!
The story strike me that there is no fix way to communicate about Christ with others, and God can use anything and show His power and grace through almost anyway, anhywhere, anyhow. As long as we are willing to answer His calling, we too can make a difference and be a channel for God's work for us. This book is a good read, not only for those who inspire to one day enter the mission field, but to all of us Christian as an inspiring true story to strengthen our faith and see God at work. You see, people can come to God in many way, so we should never give up hope when we are being turn down, because we plant the seed and God is the one who can make the seed grow. As long as we are willing to take the first step.
So, are you willing to go reach out to the world and bring back God's lost sheep?
