in this Chinese New Year of the Ox

....

no energy

HI David,
Thanks for your information on nano-MRI machines.....exciting news indeed.
Though not many groups can afford that.

no mood really to work on so many things at the same time....

The mental health business... I don't know if it is getting anywhere.... I hope it can really help people.

My own crisis...want to rest and get away into new grounds...rather than staying at the same place.

Yes, waiting is not denial, it is just waiting. As I get my head into working, it doesn't feel so much like waiting.

Looking at my crisis, it is fire everywhere.... I kind of feel low energy to fight the fire, and I sit and see it spread....very horrible...

low low low energy...............

Mr WHO ?

A New Start

to be written by the divine

Who's who ?

Waiting humbly at the spot... waiting.... waiting...

in the long long road ahead

with a open Question Mark

in unknown

Hope

Amen

.

it has been 5 days?

Oh... David,

It has been five days since I last published???? I thought that I discovered about Jung's Answer to Job like the day before yesterday... as I am still in the middle of searching for his books in libraries, but have to stop because I have to do my "job" first...

I guess I may need to publish quite few.... as my big big deadline is end of Jan 09. I really hope and pray that I can made it to hand in whatever I haven't done so in 2008.... regarding homework and work....

Thank you so much for your prayer support.... I have been in contemplation and have got enlightenment from my Lord in the past few days regarding my pain.

Thank you for this verse:
De 7:13
"He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock, in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you. "

I am really struggling so hard and lost sight of my divine call, and nearly can't move on... I have to hang on to it, and face all the unfinished work and enjoy completing them by end of Jan 09.

I have to keep it up!!

By the way, how did you find that photo?????? Really shocked!

Wish you and your wife a rejuvenating year in your church and in Christ!

Today's discoveries about Jung

ah ah....

His religious view, a more human and contemp view, about God and Job's situation....
in Answer to Job

It is so interestingly similar in terms of the intensity and destruction & creativity impacted on me and that between the breakup of Jung & Freud, and my own breakup with my academic father, and in a way only have I realized that I need to grow up and stand up as an independent woman...

busy like ....

I am in "deep water fire hot" Chinese saying for sooooo busy in the deepest shxt...

have so much homework to turn in today....
I think I'd di....e.....


ah My Lord help help!

It is amazing!!!!
How come you can get >>>>>???

our culture relentlessly seduce us to emptiness and disconnection from God

Dearest David,

What you said is soooooooooooo succinctly true!

Allow me to quote you and share with many Christians and non-Christians here:

"What I have learned (at considerable personal cost) about being disconnected from God is that this division is always the result of my looking to the world for purpose rather than our Creator. Inevitably, after some consternation, I awaken to the reality that our cultural compasses are perpetually disorienting.

Contemporary culture relentlessly encourages us, even seduces us, to irrevocably link our identity to its trappings -- what we do, what we have, who we're with, and he like. But all of these connections are temporal. In the end, if we take our bearings from the culture around us, we are destined to experience emptiness, which it then offers to fill with various distractions and forms of sedation."

I have to say, you put it in words my deepest worry and sadness....

Let me keep praying...

to my love. to myself. Love and let myself rest rest rest.
Where is God in my life?

Sandplay Therapist

H.G. Wells, author and father whose book inspired Margaret Lowenfeld to her "World Technique", and who in turns inspires Dora Klaff, who was encouraged by C.G. Jung to combine Jungian theory and the use of sand as the medium of healing, and growing of the unconscious.

I am going to do my first sandtray with an International Society of Sandplay Therapist in Taipei!!!!!

Feb 09 is my first trip!!!

Mid-Autumn Festival: a new academic year

A new academic year, with so many new colleagues, students, and we enjoyed the largest BBQ celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival in a park near to our office.


We had a dressing code for the first Friday of each month.

And this month, as seen in the photo, is camerflage.

And on the next day, it is my lovely younger brother's birthday, and 2 of my colleagues made a potato + beef birthday cake for him!

Really very very nice colleagues.
And they are very aggressive in their work too!

Challenges & What I want for next spiritual year

What I want to do?

I feel less overwhelmed now. I am in much better shape.
Although I still have tons of assignments to do.

It is a great help to take up Biblical work.
This coming year, I'd like to focus on Bible study, digest and reflect on biblical verse.
I have taken up to study and learn as a sunday school student for Jushua, new to me. As I have not studied that before.

And also, after a serious prayer last sunday service, and then miraclous discussion with Cl, I'd take up a 6 time bible study on eg emotion maturity. I'd need to pray and reflect and pray for that.

How can I take up all these roles....

But I need them to fuel me. I need the Book of Truth in my life and as my fuel.

It is so reassuring, after I have made such a prayer about next year's direction of my church work, I can't just float around without any church work...., I came to the biblical verse Joshua 1:7-9. Wow...

Serve Our Father together

Need to reiterate again, as this is so sweet and true deep in my heart

30 July 2008

So now, I get it.

I look and wait for someone with whom we can serve our Father together in totality, as a family together headed by Jesus Christ, and SERVE together in support of each other, and each other's family.

This is particularly me, my wish, my life's wish, and my future family & partner's wish.

My love wish.

Amen.

Just be frank and straightforward about it.

I do have a criteria now.

God, may I?

God, can I be frank about this?

Father God, I love you, and I wish WE can serve you together, holding hands in hands, heart to heart together, love you together. Support each other to love you together.

I feel so much being supported and happy and all... and be fulfilled.

God, can we love you together? Help each other to love you at times of difficulty together????

I would be so 幸福, nothing sweeter than this. To be able to pray together, hold hands together to pray wholeheartedly in our marriage.
