You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart with songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength of the Lord
I will trust in You
Words and Music by Michael Ledner
(From Selah – “Hiding Place”)
昨晚睡覺前，小步試著將詩歌放進老爸才送我不久的MP3裡，為了熟悉它，也試著使用MP3聽聽音樂。結果一開始就是這首歌，小步聽了很感動，不自覺地一直回頭重播、再重播，小步愈聽愈感動，愈聽愈不能自已。
想到上週三才得知的消息～「老師退休後就不能簽報告了！」讓小步陷入了恐慌～或許這是個常識，但小步我從來沒想過。來讀書之後，腦子裡只有趕趕趕，反正盡力趕完作業、報告就是了。可是這回，事實已擺在眼前～按小步過去的經驗，不到十天，怎麼可能追回那麼多報告？這根本就是「Mission Impossible」不可能的任務嘛！前不久，為了口頭大報告，那些限期一個月內該交的實習報告，開始一個一個delay了；加上期限內的，往回追溯也至少有四個禮拜的分量；更重要的是，實習仍是現在進行式，每個禮拜就是固定會增加那麼多報告啊！回顧過去七個學期，小步大多在做過去的報告（遲交），而今卻要在期限內，完成過去、現在、和未來的報告，當下我第一個反應就是「毀了」！我一點沒有把握可以做到。
讓自己平靜下來，再次想到好友的話 “Mission Impossible” with man, but remember, “All things are possible with God”! 是啊！我不能，但神能！小步決定相信，並定下每天至少該完成的數量，開始行動。昨晚，其實還沒有完成所有報告，但在這期間或許是犧牲了固定的運動，犧牲了睡眠，還有許多突發事件影響著我的心情，然而小步每日學習交託，竟然每天就是按著所計劃的做到了！此刻小步不知道該如何描述自己的心情，但每一句歌詞所說的，在小步身上就是那麼真實、那麼深刻經歷著，小步我知道～在主裡，我真得了力量。我～除了感動，還是感動，感動，和感動．．．．
Hey just want to drop by and say hi like you always do at our
blog. You know, I'm really thankful to have a friend like you.
Yesterday you said you didn't feel like you have influence on
people's life but I got to tell you hey, you do! Your gentlness
and your patience makes you a very attentive friend and you're
also a great listener for others. Maybe we need to encourage
each other to have the confidence we lack.
I'll pray for you, my special friend!
Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!
Love,
Gina
Dear Gina,
謝謝你的留言，也謝謝你的鼓勵！
我，感動到不知如何回應了．．．．
To Gina, I want to let you know I think it's a good idea. That
is, we can encourage each other to have the confidence we
lack. Thank God for having you in my life. You are also
special to me! 🙂
