心里话

时间的长久真的重要吗?
别人的看法需要去在乎吗?
不知道如何反应,这就是我。
不想多解释,这也是我。
太在乎别人的感受,吃亏的是我。心甘情愿的也是我。

选择性的退到银幕后面,以为对大家都好。

原来,我根本不需要想这么多。自己开心就好。

It's just.....work.

Five Characteristics You Need to Excel at Work
by Rick Warren

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people." (Colossians 3:23 TEV)

The Bible identifies five characteristics of people who excel at what they do:

People who excel work with enthusiasm. Regardless of whether the job is big or small, give it your best. Great performers give their best effort, no matter what the size of the audience: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people" (Colossians 3:23 TEV).

People who excel sharpen their skills. They never stop developing, growing, learning, and improving: "If your ax is dull and you don't sharpen it, you have to work harder to use it. It is smarter to plan ahead" (Ecclesiastes 10:10 TEV). It takes more than desire to excel; it takes skill! Remember: You're never wasting time when you're sharpening your "ax."

People who excel keep their word. They are reliable. They can be counted on to do what they say they'll do. They excel because people of integrity are rare in our society: "Everyone talks about how loyal and faithful he is, but just try to find someone who really is!" (Proverbs 20:6 TEV)

People who excel maintain a positive attitude. Even under pressure, change, or unrealistic demands, they don't allow themselves to become negative: "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life" (Philippians 2:14-16a NIV). And remember: "If your boss is angry at you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes" (Ecclesiastes 10:4 NLT).

People who excel do more than is expected. This is a secret that every successful person has discovered. You'll never excel by only doing what is required. Jesus said, "If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously" (Matthew 5:40-42 MSG).

The Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein once told the story of seeing the top of the Statue of Liberty from a helicopter. He was impressed because of the incredible detail the artist had sculpted on an area that no one was expected to see. In fact, the Statue of Liberty was completed with no idea that man would someday be able to fly over the statue!

Talk About It
When you're tempted to cut corners, thinking, "No one will ever know," remember that God is looking down and sees everything you do. Give him your best this week!

她曾说。。

觉得好友有了新恋情后，该疏远，应给多些空间。

却不知，友谊也一样重要。

另一方面，两男不能共存。太难接受。

还是一句话，没时间，没力气。工作已经是个 terrible pain in the ass了。

烙印在彼此心里的，永远不会忘。友谊和爱情万岁。晚安了。。

10 Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Healthy breakfast 1: Porridge and berries

Use oats and skimmed milk to make your porridge, then add any berries such as strawberries, raspberries or blueberries and honey. This is a great healthy breakfast to start the day as the oats have a low GI (Glycaemic Index) this tells us that oats do not raise the blood glucose level very quickly, which is good as it can help stabilize the appetite. Just go easy on the honey!

Healthy breakfast 2: Beans on toast

Beans (whether they are just ordinary baked beans or kidney, borlotti or black eyed beans) also have alow GI like oats. They are full of soluble fiber, which helps keep you full for longer and can therefore help you manage your weight. Serve the beans on Granary™ toast and pass on the butter; a great, low-fat breakfast.

Beans on toast, a healthy breakfast option

Healthy breakfast 3: Bagel with reduced fat cream cheese and smoked salmon

Bagels are high in starchy carbohydrates, which help kick start the body into action for the day after a fast of at least eight to 10 hours. The smoked salmon provides the body with omega-3 fat which is essential for the body. Many of us eat far too much saturated fat (which is bad for us) and not enough omega-3 fat that is vital for our health.

Healthy breakfast 4: Fruit and yogurt

Try adding your favourite fruit to a small pot of low-fat or diet yogurt for a healthy breakfast. A small pot of yogurt counts as one of your three portions per day of dairy foods, essential for the teeth and bones.

Healthy breakfast 5: Bacon, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and toast

For those of you who can’t resist a cooked breakfast at the weekends try this. It really is a healthy twist on a traditional fried breakfast. Grill the bacon, tomatoes and large, flat field mushrooms - there you go, a healthy cooked breakfast!

Healthy breakfast 6: Crumpets and fruit spread

Crumpets are a starchy food (they should be the basis of every meal). The only problem with crumpets is the tendency to add lots of butter to them. Try a fruit spread, a great way to top them without adding all the calories and fat in butter.

Healthy breakfast 7: Muesli and soya milk or low-fat milk

Swiss-style muesli has milk powder added to it, which increases the calcium content of this healthy breakfast cereal. Add calcium-enriched soya milk or semi-skimmed milk and you have a bone-friendly breakfast!

Healthy breakfast 8: Pure fruit juice and iron-fortified breakfast cereal

Next time you are in the cereal aisle at the supermarket, spare a few minutes to check out the labeling on the packets. Not all cereals are equal when it comes to the vitamins and minerals that are added to them. Iron is a mineral that is added to many healthy cereals such as sultana bran or bran flakes. Also drink a glass of pure fruit juice such as orange or grapefruit as the vitamin C that the juice containshelps your body to absorb the iron more easily.

Healthy breakfast 9: Smoothie

If you really can’t face breakfast try to have a smoothie instead. If you fancy trying to make one yourself (easy if you have a hand blender) then fruits such as berries, apples and bananas are great with some milk. All those antioxidant vitamins in the fruit help boost your immunity and make for a great healthy breakfast.

Healthy breakfast 10: Scrambled or poached egg on Granary™ toast

Eggs are not bad for us! It is what you do with them that can make them bad. Poaching or scrambling eggs with a little milk is a good way to incorporate them into your diet — they provide valuableprotein. Scrambled eggs on toast is a much better healthy breakfast choice over a fried egg sandwich.

到什么时候

每天做工都是这种感觉。。

喘不了气！

One of those..bad days..

One of those days where emotions went down n down under, bursting w tears at one moment.

One of those days the thought of ending it all came resurfacing again. And where dreams come flowing back hoping to find some fit in the picture.

One of those days I forced myself to get off on time to make time for God and God's people.

Just one day of the many in my life, experiencing the peace and joy like the aftermath of a fierce battle. You just keep realizing how minute you and your plans are. Acknowledging His abundance in gracious supply. Knowing that all these, shall pass.

Learning, to keep the peace and joy..while waiting for that one moment of decisiveness, if necessary, to reveal the hidden treasures lined up for me. Just, stay close.
 

Ahh

Forgive me my dear friends.

I'm taking slightly longer to respond.. If at all... I need some kind of discipline to be kind n reply messages with grace.

Lets not talk abt taking the initiative to ask ppl out.. Or even just catching up online or what. 

I think I really sucked at these.

So if u can understd, thanks for being my fren. For being...still there.

Be less irritable

Anger: Re-pattern Your Mind by Rick Warren "Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind." (Romans 12:2a TEV)

The way we act is determined by the way we feel. The way we feel is determined by the way we think. If we want to change the way we act, we have to change the way we think. If we want to change a habitual pattern of improper anger management — pouting, blowing up, criticizing, etc. — then we need to have some mental reconditioning.

Gary Smalley suggests you ask yourself questions like, "Do I enjoy getting angry?" "Does it produce the intended results when I get angry?" "Could I get the same results in a more effective way?" "How would I be different?"

Smalley suggests you write down your answers in a letter to yourself and read it aloud to yourself once a week for six months, — that's 26 times. Also, take the time to read it in the presence of another person. That may seem like a lot of work, but how serious are you about changing this habit in your life? How serious are you about getting control of your anger?

I suggest using Bible verses in your letter so that as God's Word fills your thoughts, you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind. It's going to change you.

The truth is, angry people are insecure people. The more insecure I am, the more things tick me off. The more insecure I am, the more upset I get and the more irritable I am.

But here's the thing: When you understand how much God loves you, your security in Christ, and how much you matter to God, then you are less likely to be irritable.

Talk About It

Read Ephesians 1 and Romans 8. They are anti-anger biblical passages because they teach us how deeply God loves us and that we are secure in him.

Remember u r not alone.. Choose Jesus!

Allow Christ to Live Through You by Rick Warren

"God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him." (Philippians 2:13 NLT)

It is the Holy Spirit's job to produce Christ-like character in you.

You cannot reproduce the character of Jesus on your own strength. New Year's resolutions, willpower, and best intentions are not enough. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives. The Bible says, "God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him" (Philippians 2:13 NLT).

Mention "the power of the Holy Spirit," and many people think of miraculous demonstrations and intense emotions. But, most of the time, the Holy Spirit's power is released in your life in quiet, unassuming ways that you aren't even aware of or feel.

Christ-likeness is not produced by imitation but by inhabitation. We allow Christ to live through us.

How does this happen? Through the choices we make. We choose to follow Jesus in all situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for the asking.

Talk About It

How has the Holy Spirit been working in your life? Have you ever claimed those works as your own?

What do your recent choices say about how much you want God to produce Christ-likeness in you?

倒着数

刚过去的周末吃了两个生日餐。一个是朋友迟了两个月的(我们到底有多忙啊)，另个是我提前的29+1大寿。

好朋友结婚了。老公第一。我完全明白。

身体状况一落千丈。马不停蹄的快节奏真的让我好想放弃。工作之外真的什么都不想做！

就这样，快一年了。这一年里，谢谢上帝的恩典，爸妈的谅解，朋友的照顾。

30 应该也会一瞬间的划过。还是一样希望自己不会错过重要的点点滴滴。。其实，我没变。还是要每天每天得到平静，学会感恩。。一起加油吧！

our birthright to Joy

Joy Is for Everyone by Kay Warren “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23 NIV) This devotional is based on Kay Warren’s new book, “Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough.” As I told you a few days ago, joy doesn’t come naturally to my personality. I’ve struggled with low levels of depression for as long as I can remember. It has been easy to conclude that joy was simply not available to someone like me. It’s tempting for those of us with minor — or major — depression and discouragement to just forget about it and let the slap-happy people own joy. There are volumes of material on personality and personality types and how they affect us, but I need it simpler. I’ve reduced all I’ve heard about personality types down to the “Winnie the Pooh School of Personalities.” Stay with me! Tiggers: Tiggers are bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! They bounce through life with a spring in their step. They laugh loudly at parties (I’ve decided they do everything loudly), they tell jokes, and they think everyone is their best friend. Even if they can’t remember your name, you’re their best friend. Of course, joy comes easily to them — right? Winnie the Poohs: These gentle folks never get too excited about anything, but they usually have a pleasant look on their faces. They tend to have a hard time making up their minds about anything. They are usually happy to let someone else make the decisions. You ask them about going to lunch, and they respond with, “Oh, you decide.” Rabbits: Rabbits are the task-masters of this world. Get it done, get it done right, and get it done now! Rabbits have a to-do list the size of Montana, and they don’t let much get in their way. They’re usually not the people you want to talk to if you’re having a rough day. They’re likely to tell you to “just deal with it.” Not so sure that rabbits experience much joy. If they do, it’s usually related to the completion of a task! Eeyores: This is my favorite personality type. Eeyores are intense, serious people. They have their own personal, little rain cloud over their heads all the time. They feel things deeply and express things deeply. They get quite annoyed at all those stupid Tiggers who won’t stop smiling! Joy seems pretty elusive for the Eeyores of this world. But that’s not what Scripture teaches us! Joy is for everyone, including Tiggers, Rabbits, Winnie the Poohs, and even gloomy old guys like Eeyore. Joy is our birthright from the Holy Spirit. It comes from being connected to God. Galatians 5:22 tells us that the fruit of the Holy Spirit is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (NIV). That verse doesn’t say that joy is available for only those whose natural personality lends itself easily to feelings of joy. No, it implies that joy is available for all who are in Christ Jesus and whose lives are full of the Holy Spirit. That gives me hope. It makes me want to keep going. Talk About It -- How would you describe your personality? How do you display the fruits of being a follower of Christ, including joy?

可以去 grocery shopping/picnic

All I see is You

30

不是怕老

而是怕孤独

不是怕没地方住，没钱买家

只是不想一个人

Why is it so hard to find someone who accepts you for who you are, shares similar values about life, always have something to learn from each other, and most importantly, someone you can stay silent with, and doesn't use silence to fight you back..just..someone who understands.

And as always.. only a feline fits the bill!

2012 第一天

New Year's Resolutions? Just One
by Jon Walker

“For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2 NIV)

If the Apostle Paul made New Year’s resolutions, my thought is he only had one resolution on his list: “[This year] I resolve to know nothing but Christ and him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

Paul’s message is radically simple: Salvation is in Christ alone. What does this mean?

It’s not Christ plus your good behavior.
It’s not Christ plus the number of verses you memorize.
It’s not Christ plus being super active in church.
It’s not Christ plus your tithe.
It’s not Christ plus wisdom from the latest Christian seminar.
It’s not Christ plus the years you taught a Bible study.
It’s not Christ plus the perfect spouse.
It’s not Christ plus well-behaved children.
It’s not Christ plus the right job.
It’s not Christ plus a good driving record.
It’s simply Christ — Christ plus nothing.

That’s Paul’s message, a message that is as right throughout this coming year as it will be in 2999. Let’s make our resolution for 2012 to focus on Jesus, who he is, and what he did for us.
