感謝神,讓我輕鬆地放了兩個月大假,並為我安排了一份新的工作.在祈禱等候,並努力面試的過程中,我經歷了對神的信心.即使我有可能比別人高的學歷和很豐富的寫作及編輯經驗,他們覺得你不適合就是不適合,你想去做也沒有辦法.在祈禱中,神要我把這個需要交託給祂,祂會為我安排,因為祂是厚賜百物的神.
既然相信是神所賜的,便要帶著信心去做這份新的工作,即使在工作中可能會遇到不滿意的事物.其實做了十多年工作,在不少公司任職過,大機構也罷,小公司也罷,都會有好和不好的地方.這個世界並不可能找到一份完美的工作.就以這份新的工作來說,其中跟上一份比了下去的就是只有十二天大假.不過現在上班的地點是鰂魚涌,我每天可以「漫步」回公司和回家,省去了等小巴的時間或免去迫地鐵的辛苦.早上上班時所行的路線會經過以前往數碼港的小巴站,路過時也會回想起當日上班下班趕小巴的「走難」情景.
無論如何,在任何工作中,有多好或多不滿,仍要感恩,因為我相信祂是厚賜百物的主.

book review: a walk to remember
i have already finished reading four novels by nicholas sparks - the notebook, the wedding, a bend in the road and a walk to remember.
a walk to remember is a novel with humour in the beginning but tears in the later part. a teenager's first love has changed his life forever. he himself has never believed that he would fall in love with such a girl - not outstanding and fashionable in appearance but devoted to serving god and loved and helped others in her life. she has changed him -- his value system and his outlook on life. he said that she "helped me become the man i am today. with her steady hand she showed me how important it was to help others; with her patience and kindness she showed me what life is really all about. her cheerfulness and optimism, even in times of sickness, was the most amazing thing i have ever witnessed....also taught me the value of forgiveness and the transforming power that it offers...she led her life the way the bible taught."
i can feel this teenager's changes and indeed growth. growth is not easy especially for that part involving the shaping of one's value system. and i feel happy for him.
i was moved to tears when i read the part that the girl told him about her sickness and how he supported her all along. i am also moved by the girl's faith and optimism. in spite of all criticism and misunderstanding from other people earlier and the serious sickness later, she remains cheerful, optimistic and peaceful. and she keeps doing what she thinks god likes her to do.
read this book and you will feel the joy and pain of living.
