The
year of 2012 is a roller coaster for me, and it is full of blessing.
At
work, I enjoy working with my colleagues who are considerate. And
2012 to me is still an exciting year because many important things
happen. Throughout the last year, I went to business trips and
covered some major stuff, such as Chen Guangcheng, NPC and CPPCC
sessions, and 18th party congress.
Working
for long hours were common, and on same occasions, I needed to work
across time zones, but I do very much treasure the opportunities
because all are eye opening experience to me, throughout which I have
learned much and there is still much room for improvements.
I
decided to move back to Hong Kong after three years in Beijing, where
I had a very good time, because my parents are terribly sick. I do
from time to time miss the days in Beijing, where I have met some
good friends and met interesting people, and sometimes of course I
will feel tired and frustrated at my Hong Kong home for I have no
idea about when will all these chaos come to an end.
Yes,
I am in the middle of no where and I am lost sometimes on what should
I do to deal with my situation, but God is actually watching. Through
prayers and supportive remarks of friends, God is indeed sending a
message that he has not abandoned anyone who believe in him. The
smooth transition for me to head back to Hong Kong and the assistance
my family get from social workers are signs that God is leading me
through the difficulties.
There
is time for everything. Time for birth, time for death, time to
plant, time to reap, time to cheer, time to laugh, time to embrace
and time to part. I have wondered what's the purpose of God for
putting me into all the ups and downs, but often it is beyond my
comprehension.
I
have joined a one-year Bible reading plan, and the following passage
from Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 impress me a lot.
“But in the
end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I’ve had a
good look at what God has given us to do—busywork, mostly. True,
God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but he’s
left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether
he’s coming or going. I’ve decided that there’s nothing better
to do than go ahead and have a good time and get the most we can out
of life. That’s it—eat, drink, and make the most of your job.
It’s God’s gift.”
Chinese version
of versus 12 and 13. 『我知道世人
、莫強如終身喜樂行善。並且人人喫喝、在他一切勞碌中享福．這也是 神的恩賜。』
Enjoy what I
have is already a God's gift.
