想留在夢中。。。 Wished to stay on in the dream…

有没有那一种感觉,有时候做了一个梦,你很想留在梦里面,不要醒来;或者醒来了,倒回去睡很希望能够回到刚才的梦境里,但无奈却回不去了。。。

Ever had that feeling, that sometimes you had a dream, and you wished you could stay on in that dream and not wake up; or when you did wake up, you went back to sleep hoping that you would return to that dream again, but unfortunately you could not…

我最近就有两个梦我希望能待久一点在里面,一个是梦见主耶稣行神迹,让一个荒芜的山坡成为一个丰盛的果园!在梦里我很开心,甚至高兴的哭了,一直跟主耶稣说谢谢。。。

Recently I had two dreams which I wished I could stay on longer in the dreams. One was I dreamt of the Lord Jesus performing a miracle by turning a barren hilltop into a fruitful orchard! I was very happy in the dream that I even shed tears of joy, and I kept saying thanks to Jesus…

那果园很美,让我很开心喜乐,当然不想那么快醒来。。。
后来醒来时,我很想念那园子,但我知道那是主在鼓励我,要我信靠祂,祂是能够使无变为有的神!

It was such a beautiful orchard and it made me so happy and joyful, and of course I did not want to wake up so fast…
When I finally woke up, I missed the garden, but I knew it was the Lord encouraging me to trust in Him, for He is the God who can create something out of nothing!

至于另外一个梦又是关于什么呢。。。?
时候晚了,改天再跟你们分享吧,呵呵呵!

As for the other dream, what was it about…?
Well, it is getting late, I will share with you some other time, heeheehee…?

等候是必須的。。。 Waiting is necessary…

在人生的道路上,偶尔停下脚步,整理思绪一下,稍微等候再继续旅程是很重要的。。。
因为有时候脚步太急促、步伐太匆忙,会不慎摔了一跤,又或者因太忙碌和急促做决定,而忽略了一些重要的细节。。。

Along the journey of life, it is very important to occasionally halt your steps, reorganize your thoughts and ponder and wait for a while before continuing on your journey…
Because sometimes we are too hasty in our steps or too rush in our walk that we can carelessly suffer a fall; or when we are too busy and make our decisions too quickly, we may overlook some crucial details…

能坐下来休息一下,对自己体力也有帮助,让自己重新得力,毕竟休息就是为了走更远的路。。。
但也不要停顿太久而变懒散或忘记前方还有路。。。

To be able to sit and rest a while is good for the body too, allow your strength to be renewed, because after all resting is to prepare for a longer journey…
But do not stop for too long too for you might become slack or forget there is still some road to walk on ahead…

休息等候不是漫无目标的,一定要仰望天上的父,看看祂有什么指示,有什么话说,让祂指引我们。。。
毕竟我们走的是天国的路,祂的话是我们脚前的灯和路上的光。

We are not to rest and wait aimlessly too, we must look up and set our eyes on our Heavenly Father, and see whether He has any instruction or has anything to say, let Him guide us…
After all we are walking on the road to heaven, His Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.

有時候心情會受影響。。。 Sometimes mood can get affected…

尽管已经很习惯的节目或活动,或有充足的预备,有时候因着某种原因还是会出一些状况,心情难免也会受一些影响。。。
Even if it is a very familiar programme or activity, or there is enough preparation, sometimes due to some reasons, certain situations might arise too, and unavoidably our mood can get somewhat affected…

 

 

 

有时候是赶时间,有时候是车程,有时候是身体状况。。。
当然还是一样要上台。。。
Sometimes it can be rushing for time, sometimes it is the journey, sometimes it is physical health…
Of course you still need to go on stage…

 

 

给唱歌的人,音响效果绝对会有一些影响。。。给讲说的人,台下的人的反应也会影响。。。
但再这么受影响还是要尽力的唱、尽力的讲。。。

For those who sing, the condition of the sound system wold definitely affect the mood… and for those who speak, the rapport of the audience…
But no matter how affected, we must still sing our best and speak with all our passion…

 

 

要做到完全坐怀不乱、心平气和、全然不受影响,的确是一门不容易的功课。
所以很多时候在台上的我,边唱边讲的时候,其实心里也一边祷告求主平静我的心,让我能够很专心。。。

To be totally unperturbed, completely calm, entirely not affected, is indeed a tough lesson to learn.
So many times while on stage singing and speaking simultaneously, I am at the same time praying in my heart for the Lord to calm my heart and to help me to concentrate…

 

 

在那笑容的背后,你们都看不出内心的挣扎和沮丧吧,特别是自己觉得无法完全平静或专注的时候,那时也会对自己灰心和失望。。。
但感恩的是,过后上帝都会亲自鼓励和安慰我,需要的时候,祂当然也会教导我一些该注意和改善的事情。我真有一个很好很好的上帝与父亲啊!

Behind that smile, you cannot really see the struggle and frustration inside, especially when I feel I could not completely calm my heart or fully concentrate, and I would be feeling discouraged and disappointed with myself…
But I am always grateful that God will always personally encourage and comfort me after that, and when necessary, of course to teach me when there are things I need to take note and improve. I really have a god good God and Father!
