Cat and Life 貓咪的生活

The Broken Spirit 破碎的心靈

God uses the cat, Young Lady who has a good looking but with a sad face and a sorrow heart, to forward His plan for me. The cat visited me for two weeks in 2008. Insteading of greeting people pleasantly, the Young Lady always keeps surpressing herself in her hidding place. Her behavior stands in contast to pet David obviously. David is a homeless cat before, but now he lives so freely, bravely, healthily and honorably . You can see David as follows. I remembered one of my classmates came from Turkey had described him as a perfect cat!
How deep abuse and what kind of miserable life experience did the Young Lady has in the past, I start to ask. 'For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.'(2 Corinthians 8:12)
God's transforming my motivation and willingness is a long process. Slowly I started to think of teaching the Emotional Logic course in different perspective in 2009. Since I have been leaned this course completely by God's divine guidance and benefit by it, in what way I can contribute it to churches? If I can do something to help, why do I discourage meself again and again before to try by trusting God? How can I know whether the Emotional Logic course will work well or not in Asia, if I am unwilling to learn and to teach it? You can see how bravo the life of cat David is! He is a bird watcher and he enjoys his sunbath naively and cozily.

今天有位學生來到我的辦公室上課,是讀過神學院的傳道.這位學生很可愛,是上帝特別的帶領.剛開始我沒有興趣,也不太知道怎麼一對一教這位學生.感謝神!這位傳道一直不放棄,表示很想學習這英國的情緒課程. 於是,我禱告後接受她的報名.我相信凡是神帶到我面前的,只要緊緊依靠上帝,都是我有能力幫助的,同時他們也是在某方面能幫助我的人.

God leads a minister come to my office to become my one by one student today. She is interested in learning the emotional logic course. I have neither confidence nor passion for being her good teacher, yet she did not give up. I strongly need God's wisdom and confirmation to accept her as my student. I pray that God leads people to meet me either whom I can facilitate or they can assist me.

和上帝同行,常使我的人生如坐雲霄飛車,既精彩又刺激.就這樣,我的人生充滿了一連串的驚嘆號!!!例如:開始學習這英國的情緒邏輯課程對我人生來說,是一項計劃以外的事.開始學習在台灣及亞洲各國教導及推動這套課程,更是意想不到的事.剛開始我實在沒有興趣,但上帝一直不放棄.最終,我面對並接受這項人生艱鉅的挑戰和任務,非常值得!

Walking with God enables my life as taking a roller coaster ride. The process is full of fabulous and remarkable experiences. God embraced me with exlamations of joy. For instance, both to learn and to teach the emotional logic course are not in my plan. Indeed, I was not interested in it, yet God did not give up consistently. Thus I eventually have the willing heart to face this difficult challenge and valuable task!

上帝是最好的老師和奇妙的策士,從祂怎麼一步步開廣感動我的心就充份證實這一點.這是一段很長的時期和過程,現在我只以簡單的例子來加以說明.2008年當我搬到台北不久,住處來了個暫時借住一週的訪客.這位貴客叫歪妹,仔細看相片可以知道牠其實長得還不錯,不過令人難解的是牠卻有著受傷的心靈.一看牠的臉就是極憂傷又不開心的眉頭深鎖.相較於之前是隻流浪貓但現在卻百般受寵的大衛貓來說,兩者形成強烈的對比.

God is the Best Teacher and the Wonderful Counselor. It is by how He inspires me to do this crucial project that I can testify His unlimited wisdom, patience and love for sinners and this broken community. I will take the moving encounter in my life as an example to illustrate this.

歪妹總是躲在沒有人知道的暗處,死也不肯出來.當有人發現牠時,牠立刻就換地方,大玩貓抓老鼠的遊戲.你看牠的眼旁有些小髒,那是因為沒有人能夠接近牠. 而愛牠的人並不想強制關懷,因為強制得了一時,卻無法長久. 這樣的經驗使我深深地體會到破碎心靈的孤單與無助,如果這套情緒課程能幫助人有效走出心靈的死角與灰暗地帶,那我為何老想著可能存在的困難和問題,卻不勇敢的靠著神尋求資源應用推廣它,使眾教會蒙福呢?

Waiting For God's Timing Is Promising 值得等待

當耶穌所愛的拉撒路病了,耶穌仍堅持順服而照神的時候,加以遲延前往處理.雖然剛開始引起困惑失望抱怨與不解,但最終卻顯出神榮耀的作為.

神的時候是值得等待的.基督徒生活中許多經驗和這事件有幾分類似,正如聖經中的童女新婦等候新郎一般,憑著信心懷抱盼望預備自己渴望相聚的那一刻.

當我所愛的爵士公貓去了天堂,瞬間我明白了牠對我的愛是何等的深切啊!

從爵士身上我了解了什麼叫[等候].

牠總是等候著我這個大忙人回家,看見我不是咪咪的大叫就是表達撒驕,那欲言又止凝視著我的眼神,又好像有說不完的話要對我說.

如今輪到我來學習等候,等候是何其重要啊!

生命的蛻變與成長需要時間,關係的深化與信任需要時間;服事的熬煉與成熟需要時間,哀傷情緒的處理與復原需要時間;

公義與慈愛的調和與堅持需要的還是時間...在這一切之上,更重要的是等候神.

等候主再來復活的那一天,我與所愛的就能在空中榮耀的團聚.

How Much Do Jazz Love Me 爵士公貓多愛我

Jazz accompanied me when I need Him most.

The First Lesson I learned

Jazz spent much time to keep himself tidy and clean. It was not necessary to took a shower for him, this was the first lesson I learned.Jazz was seldom sick all his life. This first time Jazz sicked was because he caught a cold.

After he went home with me a few days, I took a shower for him. When I used the electric hair dryer to dry his hairs, he scared and escaped as far as possible. Therefore, Jazz caught a cold soon.

The First Slide Show of Jazz

Now you can enjoy the first slide show of Jazz ! You can see not only how cute the little Jazz was at his first one year old  but also the first post card I made for him. When he sat down on the chair, how handsome and elegant he was! When he jumped to catch the mosquito on the wall, how super he was!

Do you noticed Jazz's tail was curled while he jumped, how lovely he was!  Do you know Jazz even knew how to rest his head on a pillow as a man when he was in bed, how amazing God's special gift to me!

I did not take many pictures for Jazz at his early life, because I was extremely busy for ministry at that time.Though I can not speak in cat's language, I know how much Jazz loves me! Jazz is my beloved one indeed.

I also add two photos that Jazz stared at me on the living room last year and the very precious last moment before he passed away and went to heaven.

The First Encounter

The first encounter was so impressive! I still remembered when I saw Jazz's mother in a missionary family. How beautiful she was, I thought she was God's wonderful creation. I even could not believe my eyes, how elegant and colorful she was! My first encounter with Jazz was in 1993,actually I got two cats at that time.

The brother of Jazz was like a little tiger with yellow hairs. His new owner called him, Pi Pi, that is a naughty boy. I called my cat Jazz  for two reasons.  Not only it was  a memory of one of my friend, but also it meant a knight in Chinese suited his character.

The process of adoption was also very special. When the missionary pastor and I met and took the box with two cats carefully, a young boy of this family described how nice character Jazz had.

My purpose was to get a cat for my professor, her mother wanted more cats.  Yet, she returned the cats to me because Jazz and his brother did not adjust well. I raised Jazz eventually and build a deep relationship with him. One of my school sister was also a Christian chose to raise Pi Pi. I thank God the whole of her family loved Pi Pi very much, too.
