Wishing to Move On


Life is in a good order and with a clear sense of direction. Very focused now -- dissertation, and the following teacher certification exams. Hopefully I can get everything done by the end of this year. I know UT is definitely a wonderful place, but emotionally I have a strong urge to move on now.

One of the most blessed things in Austin over the past five years is that God gives me two spiritual homes here. The first one is Austin Chinese Church (ACC)/ Austin Chinese Christian Campus Fellowship (ACCCF), and the other one is Hyde Park Baptist Church/ The graduate and international student Sunday class.  Learned and grew a lot in both. Have a lot to share about these two spiritual homes. Will write more when I get time.

Right now I feel God's leading is quite clear in terms of my future way and my church life. At least for this coming semester (should be the last semester of my student life... if everything goes smoothly...), I'm very clear about my goals and my direction. God has given me a very clear vision, which is worth giving my genuine thankfulness. I'm praying for God's continuous leading and help as I continue on my life journey. God is my foundation and my cornerstone.

He Watches Over You

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the hills --
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip --
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel,
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you --
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm --
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.


詩篇  第一百二十一篇

我要向山舉目,
我的幫助從何而來?
我的幫助從造天地的耶和華而來。


他必不叫你的腳搖動,
保護你的必不打盹!
保護以色列的,
也不打盹,也不睡覺。

保護你的是耶和華,
耶和華在你右邊庇蔭你。
白日,太陽必不傷你;
夜間,月亮必不害你。

耶和華要保護你,免受一切的災害。
他要保護你的性命。
你出你入,
耶和華要保護你,
從今時直到永遠。

Somehow this Psalm came to my mind tonight, so I opened the Bible and wrote it down. God's word is always comforting. My help comes from the Lord, and He watches over my coming and going.

I don't understand why some things happened in my life, but I believe that since God allowed those to happen, He would be walking with me and help me to go through it. Only He alone can be my strength, my shield, and my protection.

I make myself be still in front of God. I let the Holy Spirit take the lead. I ask the Lord to fill my heart with His peace. He is there in control. 主在那裡, 做王掌權. Since He is there in control, I believe things will not go wrong.

Sometimes my emotion is very subtle. I think overall I'm doing well, but there are still moments I cannot completely handle it well. I think that's my own lesson -- maybe my lifelong lesson.

Lord, please help me to guard my heart. Have me under your wings.
