2013。The Struggle of a Butterfly.. in HIM

我的2013，跌跌踫踫糊糊塗塗地走過了。再多難過的時間，蒙神恩典平安度過，成長的得著的比我所求的多了許多許多。感恩，想起每個痛苦的時刻，上帝總讓我發現我身邊從來不缺天使。那些回憶，酸酸的、苦苦的，但總是甜甜的、暖暖的。一幕一幕閃現，像個夢。那些晴天霹靂、或曾以為走不下去的當下，此刻想起仍猶有餘悸，卻已輕淡如風。呀！真的走過了，竟然走過了。感謝神，因為我看見了每一次難關都盛載著祂滿滿的美意。因為那些痛，我哭了，卻也學習了。多少次想逃，卻因為神的緣故站住了腳。

很難想像新一年會迎來甚麼挑戰。老實說，我很軟弱，對未來會膽怯。多想逃避還是得向前。只有相信將至的每個關口，上帝會一如以往信實且滿有慈愛的帶領保護著我。可怕的冒險，心驚膽顫，但再可怕還是有祂抱著我。

難以言喻，各種感受交錯糾結在一起。

感謝神，感謝陪我走過的人。

我是個幸福的孩子。

要給我的2013下個總結的話，我會引用"The Struggle of a Butterfly"中的這段文字形容我的經歷。

~~~
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.

If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

I asked for Strength.......and God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom.........and God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity.....and God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage........and God gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love....... ..and God gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors.........and God gave me Opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.........I received everything I needed.

Thanks God for the struggles. I love you. <3 p="">
