誰能了解主的心意?

沒想到 竟然 在我出生時 媽媽還沒有成為美國公民
而且 爸爸媽媽兩個到現在都還沒正式的放棄中華民國國籍 (沒有內政部核發的證明書)
所以依照教育部的法規 我沒辦法使用外國學生申請入學管道進入台灣任何一所大學
即使我從未申請過中華民國護照、國籍等,都是不適用這個入學辦法的

可是我是美國公民啊
真可惜 是在我連續熬過好幾夜 趕著申請轉台灣大學
申請書跟文章都差不多寫完了
才發現 我不合格
差三個月 就合格
(媽媽 10/1989 成為美國公民 而且在我出生前兩個禮拜就已經通過歸化考了)

遇到這種情況時 都會有點失望 覺得白白努力了一場
小信時 就抱怨 上帝 幹麻要這樣玩弄我呢

然而 我要因耶和華歡欣 因救我的神喜樂 (哈巴谷書 3:18)
主啊 祢叫我安靜等候祢 相信你 你是可靠的 全能的
我信不足 球你原諒 球你幫助


You will make sense of it all... someday. We wait for You.

Look at the Birds of the Air

Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
"I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so."

Said the Sparrow to the Robin,
"Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me."


   -- Elizabeth Cheney.

There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.

   -- Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act V.


Lord I ask mercy and forgiveness for the way I worry, fear, and regret that betrays Your colossal trustworthiness to a watching world. Grant me grace to rest in Your goodness and fix a steady gaze on You... You are the only sight worth living by.

C.G. Jung RE: Female Mind

"Obviously what I was doing wasn't science. What then could it be but art? It was as though these were the only alternatives in the world. That is the way a woman's mind works" (185).

How dare you
Nibble my food and crap
On my books?

Yums in the Last 24 Hours

Beard Papa's Green Tea Cream Puff
Maeda-En Green Tea Mochi Ice Cream
Glico Giant Pocky
I-Mei Vanilla Wafers
Ferrero Moments
Pringles Pizza Stix

This they call wounded pride, not wounded heart.

She wondered whether she was sadder about him or about being sad about him, so little did parting with her seem to cost him.

No Answer

I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?
