Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace was written by John Newton to commemorate his personal experience of being saved by amazing grace. Through the years other writers composed additional verses to the hymn, which eventually became known as Amazing Grace.
When John was eleven years old he went to sea with his father. They shared six voyages together before Newton senior retired. In 1744 John was impressed into service on a man-of-war. He found conditions intolerable, and soon he deserted. But he was very quickly captured and given a public flogging.
Finally he was exchanged into service on a slave ship, and brutally abused by the slave trader. Early in 1748 he was rescued by a sea captain who had known his father. John Newton ultimately became captain of his own ship, where he also worked the slave trade.
On a homeward voyage in 1748 he was struggling with a violent storm. He recorded in his journal that he thought all was lost and he shouted, "Lord, have mercy upon us."
Later he came to feel that God addressed him through that storm and that grace had begun to work in his life. That day was May 10, 1748 - when he first subjected his own will to a higher power.

Amazing grace!
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus farand
grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun

Love Sunshine, Love Rain
Hej! Rachel...I changed outfit again...
It's cool, isn't it?
The most important thing is that I managed all the changes on my own...this is indeed 'tough' technical problem...after two nights of persistence...I did it
Hope you enjoy it as well...
Suddenly a London rainny day is not such a bad thing. Who said that we only miss the sunshine....

感恩
最近和一位许久未见的友人电话闲聊，絮叨些近况琐事。话末友人突然对我说：“你有信仰，有事业，有家庭。你的生活太完美了。”
瞬间我无语。回过神儿后说：“真的是感谢神。”真的。除了感恩，还是感恩，不知道除了这个词还有什么更贴切的。有什么是我配得拥有的呢？有什么不是恩典呢？最近在读出埃及记。以色列人的小信，遇到困难就想调转头，埋怨和不满充满了他们的整个旅途。看看自己走过的路，我又何尝不是一样的呢？拥有的时候，骄傲抬头；没有的时候，焦虑不安。什么时候，才可以完全明白，完全自由，完全释放呢？
耶稣说：“我来是让你们得生命，而且得的更丰盛。” 这样的表白，这样的给予，只有伸手索求的人心里明白其中。这个世界诱惑太多，陷阱太隐蔽。看在眼中重要且美好的东西未必是长久，留恋不舍的东西未必是真实。可那似乎遥不可及的神却一直在等待，没有走远。是接纳真实而永远的生命，还是依依不舍迷茫的现在。这是每天每刻每秒都要做的选择。
如果上一秒，我选错了，走得好辛苦，你还给我多一次机会好吗？
如果下一秒，我在拥有中迷失了，茫然不知时，你记得点醒我好吗？

虫虫危机
在芬兰和湖水一样多的就属蚊子了....如果下一次有谁来芬兰,比带牙刷还重要的是带上红花油和各式除蚊剂.我可是顶着肿的像馒头的一只眼睛, 流着泪写下些话的噢.切记切记...
叮了也不能被白叮.总结启示如下.
启发一: 想做的事一定不要拖延,要快做...
幸好在被蚊子叮前,我已经体会了午夜日头下狂奔在森林,品尝了异乡的水煮鱼片,荡桨于北极圈的湖上...不然像现在这个样子,也只能睁一只眼闭一只眼的望景兴叹了...
启发二:小小xx 有啥可怕的思想要不得.
人,其实真的好脆弱.健康的时候就当感恩.趁还有时间的时候寻求神才是真的福气.
启发三:对看见你丑得睁不开眼却笑着说你可爱的人,烈日下陪着你走遍大半个城市找药店的人,要好好珍惜.知道那才是真爱你的人.
启发四:墨镜能带的时候一定要带.就算不能遮太阳,也可以在需要的时候遮丑.

oulu...oulu...oulu...
今天是北欧国家庆祝夏天的特别节日. 大多数的芬兰人都在自己的桑拿房里蒸到太阳不落,大街上没有几个人影儿...突然想念忙碌的GUILDFORD HIGH STREET...
我已经是半个城市女孩了,忍不住地到处找开张的CAFE. 没有GUINESS, LATTE 也不错. 唉!人真是习惯的动物...情不自禁的想起HOUSE OF FRASER 顶楼洒满阳光的咖啡厅和Walnut Cake...
是谁说相见不如怀念...有球球也有扁扁的旅途才算完美...
忙碌的生活可以放在身后...
昨天的压力可以放在身后...
努力些体会现在...
用心些憧憬明天的风景...
明天去LAPLAND!! 走进北极圈...住在河边的小屋...
会遇到洒满温暖和笑容的小屋吧??
明天会知道...

love travelling
Already in Helsiki....looking down from the plane, it is such a beautiful place with forest and lakes...Still need to wait a bit for my final flight to Oulu...
Just before landing at helsinki I was still thinking about work and all the other heavy stuff. But now it is all gone. I just want to enjoy these few days, be close to God, close to my loved one....
I love travelling....:) The early morning, the long waiting, the delay, the missing luggage....it is all becomes part of the joy.....

不躲，不藏
希伯来书中说：“神的道是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快，甚至魂与灵、骨节与骨髓，都能刺入、剖开，连心中的思想和主意都能辨明。并且被造的没有一样在他面前不显明的。原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前，都是赤露敞开的。”
软弱吗，我是的。。。
常常犯错吗，我是的。。。
感谢神，总是最明白，好的，罪的，都清楚明白。。。
感谢神，从未因我的软弱纵容我，放弃我。。。
喜欢逃跑的我，在你的呼唤中再也走不远。。。
面对面时才明白罪有多少，恩典有多少的意义。。。
在哪里呢？也在试着躲藏，想要跑开吗？
其实只需要多信心一点点。。。决心一点点。。。
只需要头低一点点。。。对主说请帮我一点点。。。
爱离我们不遥远，原谅离我们不遥远，自由离我们不遥远。。。

等待
等待开学，等待毕业，等待面试，等待结果，等待白天，等待黑夜，等待遇见，等待团聚。。。
在等待吗？
看我跳来跳去的时候，对我说：“在安静中等待吧。”
伤心泄气的时候，对我说：“在感谢中等待吧。”
疲惫难耐的时候，对我说：“再等等，是值得的”
不为别的，天堂的风景就在等待的前边。
不为别的，面对面的时候就在等待的前面。
在等待吗？一起等吧。。。

Was blind, but now can see
Having had a good evening with friend and feeling thankful for the great friends God placed in my life. Suddenly the word friends brought me back to the 'old' times when all of us were young, fresh and full of passion. We gathered in the crowed living room and sang praises to the Lord. It is indescribable how much I missed that time, missed everyone!! God's blessing flows into us...and it never stops.
If there were one more chance, I think I could do better. I would probably know how to care for your real needs, how to understand you better, how to be more patient and encouraging, how to speak gentle words. I wished we would spend more time to read God's words together and build each other stronger.
Though time does not revert...life does not turn back...God did not give us a past, but a hope. To you my dearest friends, I remember you all in my prayer wherever I am in the world. I keep asking the Lord that we will never stop seeking Him and stop having fellowship with each other. Do not lose heart and sight, for we who once was blind, but now can see.
