逃到北京(2)。。。 Escape to Beijing (2)…

那一次几个问题接踵而来,无法安静思考、近乎窒息。。。
我跟天父说:对不起,我很少逃避现实、不负责任,我很多事情都问过你,但这一次就让我选择逃避一下可以吗?

我不告诉人,自己跑去旅行社买机票,决定飞去北京找刚好当天随孙燕姿演唱会团队飞往北京的祖。

That time, problems came one after another, I could not think coherently, I felt suffocated…
I told Father God: I’m sorry, I seldom run away from reality or am seldom irresponsible, most times I would ask Your permission, but this time, could You just allow me to choose to escape for a while?

I did not tell anyone, I went to buy the air ticket at the travel agency.
I decided to fly to Beijing to meet Jaydon who happened to fly there that day as well with Stefanie Sun’s concert team.

但飞中国需要签证,当天要办签证也已经太迟了。。。

我又跟天父说:我不问你我这样子走掉对不对、该不该,我只求你让我出去透透气一下。。。可以吗?求你让中国理事馆允许我逾时了仍愿意给我签证。。。

旅行社员工回来报告说我的签证拿到了。。。
好几个小时后我抵达北京。

But we need a visa to fly to China and it was too late to apply for a visa that day…

I told Father God again: I’m not asking You as to whether it is right for me to run away in this manner, or whether I should, all that I’m asking for is for You to allow me to go and breathe some fresh air… is that ok? Please allow the Chinese Embassy to grant me a visa beyond their office hours…

The agency staff came back and said I got the visa…
Many hours later, I was in Beijing.

 

孙燕姿音乐总监KennC是我好友,他不知道我其实是“离家出走”,还以为我只是纯粹来度假。
他听到我来很高兴,让我免费跟他们住同样饭店,还安排给我演唱会最贵的贵宾席(约马币八百零吉)!

Stefanie’s music director, Kenn C is my good friend, he did not know I was actually “running away from home”, but thought I was only coming for a holiday.
He was very happy to hear that I came, he got me to stay with them for free at the expensive 5-star hotel, and gave me the most expensive ticket in the VIP seats (about RM800)!

第一次参加流行演唱会,看着那坐的满满的室外体育馆,孙燕姿受欢迎的程度可想而知。。。顿时觉得自己很渺小,我到底是谁?谁会认识我?
我只不过是一颗尘土,天父没理由拣选我、使用我,而我还在这里逃离他的呼召。
虽然如此,这粒尘土却坐在最贵的贵宾席。
我感觉天父对我的重视和爱怜,虽然我逃跑,但我仍感觉他说:孩子,我还是爱你的。。。

It was my first pop concert experience ever, seeing the packed outdoor stadium, you could tell Stefanie is indeed very popular… Immediately I felt so tiny and insignificant, who am I? Who knows me? I am but dust, there is no reason why Father God should choose and use me, and here I am, running away from His calling.
Even so, this dust was now sitting in the  most expensive VIP seat.
I could feel how Father God treasured and loved me. Though I ran away, I felt Him saying: Child, I love you still…

 

孙爸爸坐我后面一两排(左一戴眼镜的)。。。
Stefanie’s father sat a row or two behind me (far left with glasses)…

 

演唱会一开始,我注意到孙爸爸那很满足的眼神看着他女儿表演。从他眼神,我知道在他心中,燕姿永远是最棒的;不管她歌唱得怎么样、舞跳得怎么样,孙爸爸的表情都是那么欣赏和喜悦他女儿,他那么的引她为荣!

可以感觉到他也会紧张燕姿表演会不会出差错等等,倘若真的出差错,我很肯定他会很心疼燕姿,而不是生气或觉得丢脸或急着要责备,他也一定会担心燕姿会不会受伤或难过。。。

那一刻,我感受到天父的心。。。我突然领悟他时常也是这样看着我。。。
天父的爱触摸了我,我的耻辱与罪恶感也消失了。

As soon as the concert started, I noticed Stef’s father’s very satisfied expression watching his daughter’s performance. From his eyes, I knew in his heart Stef will always be the best to him, it does not matter how well she sang or danced, the father’s expression was one of someone very appreciative of and delighted with his daughter, he was just so proud of her!

I could feel he was also concerned whether Stef would make any mistake during the performance etc, and if she did, I was sure he would feel so much for her and not get angry or feel ashamed or want to rebuke her instantly, he would also be concerned whether Stef would feel hurt or upset…

At that moment, I felt the heart of my Father God… I suddenly realized that He is also constantly looking at me in the same manner…
The love of my Father God touched me, my shame and guilt disappeared as well.

一个地上的父亲都能那么爱他的孩子,天父岂不更爱我?岂不更关心我、在乎我?
我因着压力而逃跑,我没做好我的本份,他没有生气我,也没有惩罚我,他反而还让我住五星级饭店,坐贵宾席看演唱会。。。

那一天,我发现天父那么了解我、在乎我,也非常体贴我的软弱、我的感受。。。
我逃到北京,逃离天父的呼召,却跑进我天父的怀抱。。。

Even an earthly father could love his child so much, would not my Father God love me more, care for me more, or be concerned for me more?
I ran away under pressure, I did not stay true to my calling, He was not angry with me, He did not punish me, instead He put me in a 5-star hotel, and gave me a VIP seat to watch a concert…

That day, I realized Father God really understands me and is very concerned for me, He also understands my weaknesses and feelings…
I escaped to Beijing, I escaped from the calling of Father God, I escaped but ran straight into the arms of my Father…

 

 

 

小举动,大感动。。。 Small act, deep impact…

 

他时常嘻嘻哈哈,很会搞怪,可说是开心果一个。。。
他很创意,很有才华,会音乐、唱歌、画画等等,更是电脑奇才。。。
他算是蛮成功的,有自己的生意,也蛮受朋友欢迎。

有一年他生日,忘了是谁的主意,说一起去吃宵夜。。。
只不过是一间很平常的咖啡店,没有什么特别节目,大伙儿一起去吃,自己点自己想吃的。
有人带了一个小蛋糕来给他一个小“惊喜”。。。对我来说,这种庆祝再平常不过了,也算不了什么“庆祝”。
大家聊聊天、胡闹一场,吃完宵夜就回家了。我有注意到那晚他不像他一贯的吵闹、多话。。。

回到家,收到他简讯说:
谢谢你们!我真的很惊讶你们帮我庆祝生日,从来没有人曾经为我庆祝生日,所以我一时太感动,说不出什么话来,不知道该怎么回应,只想说真的太谢谢你们了。。。

他还说感动的想哭!这常常看起来很有自信的一个人?!

我想对我们很多人来说生日蛋糕和礼物已不是什么大不了的事,甚至还诸般挑剔;可是原来还有很多人从来没有什么人为他们庆祝过他们的生日,也没收过什么礼物!我想帮人计划一个小惊喜或送一份小礼物,我们很多应该都很轻易做得到吧?

有时候对我们来说只不过是一件轻而易举的举手之劳,但对他人来说却意义深远,我们没察觉到但却深深触摸及感动了他们的心。很简单的一个小举动,却也可以有很大的震撼和感动,我们还是赶快行动吧。。。

He is often quite jovial and mischievous, quite often the fun of the party…
He is rather creative and talented, knows music, can sing, draw etc, and is a computer genius…
He can be considered quite successful, has his own business and quite popular with friends.

One year on his birthday, I cannot remember whose idea it was, we went for supper together…
Just an ordinary coffee shop, no special programme, just a group of friends having supper together, and we all ordered our own food.
Someone brought along a small cake to give him a little “surprise”… To me, this kind of “celebration” is at the most ordinary level, it cannot even be considered a “celebration”.
We talked, joked and went home after supper. I did notice he was not his usual noisy and talkative self…

Upon reaching home, I received his text message, he said:
Thank you all so much! I was really surprised that you all celebrated my birthday for me, no one ever celebrated my birthday for me, so I was very touched and did not know what to say or how to respond… but just to say thanks so much…

he even said he was almost moved to tears! I mean for someone who always seems so confident like him?!

I think to many of us a birthday cake or gift is not really a big deal anymore, in fact we can even be very fussy about them. But as a matter of fact, many people never ever had anyone celebrating their birthday for them, nor received any gift for that matter!
I think helping to plan a little surprise or giving a small gift to someone should be quite easy for many of us, right?

Sometimes what is to us a tiny and easy act may mean a great deal to others, and may touch their hearts in a very deep way without us realizing. Just a very simple act but it can have a deep impact, we had better get up and act quickly…

 

 

 

那一天他的简讯。。。孩子回到天上了。。。 His sms that day… the baby has returned to heaven…

2008年2月26日。。。

在极度困难下,他太太终于怀孕了。。。可是胎儿才五个月大,情况恶化,孩子无法待在胎里了。。。
眼看孩子的生命即将停止了,医生无计可施,只好把孩子“催生”,要不然也会停止呼吸在胎中。。。

早上10点22分,他传简讯给我。。。
“我们的宝贝现正在跟主耶稣玩耍,一下子她就要回去天堂与主在一起到永远了。我告诉宝贝天堂是一个非常美丽的地方,有一天回去了我们将会知道你就是我们的宝贝,你也会知道我们就是你妈咪和爹地。。。。牧师,请不要担心我们,我们依然信靠主耶稣,也会以感恩的心继续事奉,谢谢牧师。。。”

第二封简讯,下午4点37分。。。
“我看着孩子生出来呼吸最后一口气,我亲自抱着她,边祷告边陪她到太平间。。。一路上我喃喃自语说:有一天在天上见面你一定非常漂亮。。。
感谢上帝我太太心里很平安,因她相信一切都掌握在上帝手中。至于我,我依然要跟随主,作他的器皿。。。”

上帝确实看到你的心和听到你的祷告了,Philip,他对你很满意。
我们也都很爱你们俩,也会一直支持你们。。。你们的信心和坚强的确很鼓励我们。。。
上帝必赐福你们!

February 26th, 2008…

In a most difficult situation, his wife finally conceived… but the baby was only five months old in the womb and condition grew bad, she could not stay in the womb any longer…
Seeing that the baby’s life was stopping, the doctor had no choice but to induce the baby to come out, otherwise she would stop breathing inside as well…

He texted me at 10:22am…
“Our baby is playing with Lord Jesus here. Soon she will be with the Lord forever in heaven. I told my baby heaven is a very beautiful place, we will know you are our baby and you will know we are your dad and mum one day in heaven………. Don’t worry about us, pastor, we still trust the Lord Jesus and will serve with a thankful heart. Tq pastor…”

The 2nd sms came at 4:37pm :

” I saw the baby came out during delivery with her last breath. I accompanied her to the mortuary by carrying her with my own arms and prayed. Along the way, I talked to her and said you must be very pretty when we meet in heaven. Thank God my wife is at peace as she believes everything is in God’s hands. As for me, I still want to follow Christ and be His vessel…”

God surely saw your heart and heard your prayer, Philip, He is well pleased with you.
We love both of you very much and will surely stand by  you always… we are certainly encouraged by your faith and strength…..
God will surely bless you!
