Embrace The Rain

擁抱雨季

So many times people approach us and tell us how strong we are... how brave we must be to take on all that we have, including my cancer and a daughter with special needs. I never really thought we were brave, and most of the time we are not strong. What options do we have? We could either wallow in the heartache or we can praise Him through the storms.

很多次人們到我們近前來說， 我們有多堅強。。。我們得有多勇敢才能容納那些要我們麵對的情形， 包括我的癌症和女兒的特殊需要。 我從來沒有想過我們有多堅強，可多數時候，我們的確如此。我們有什麽選擇呢， 或者是在心痛中憂鬱沉湎， 或者是在經受風暴時讚美他。

Christ took on so much more than we could ever imagine. He never promised us that this life would be easy. He never promised that we would never experience pain or heartache.

基督承受了我們想象不出的苦難。 他從未應許我們生活會一帆風順。 他從未應許我們會不經患難，和心痛。

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

“我將這些事告訴你們， 是要叫你們在我裏麵有平安。 在這個世上你們有苦難， 但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。”約翰福音 16 章 33 節。

I feel Him gently nudge me and quietly say "I am still here." If I let Him, He will guide my footsteps and guard my heart. So I choose to face my days with hope. I know that in every circumstance in my life, He is already there.

我感受到他溫柔地推了我一下，沉默著說“我還在這裏”。 如果我願意交給他，他會引導我的腳步，保守我的心。所以我選擇以希望麵對我的時日。 我也知道，在我生活的每一個情形裏， 他都會在。

上麵這段話是我收到的一封信，寫給一位患了癌症的姐妹， 下麵的話是特別鼓勵她的：

He Is With You

他與你同在

You are a fighter, a survivor, a woman of faith. You are a tough opponent for any challenge.

你是一個戰士， 一個幸存者，， 一個有信仰的女人。 你是任何挑戰的堅強對手。

Even the big "C" is no match for you because you belong to an even bigger "C"...Christ.

即使是這個大大的 " 癌症 " 二字也敵不上你。 因為你屬於更大的“基督”兩個字。

He is with you and many prayers are for you as you fight this battle.

他與你同在， 很多祈禱為你發出，當你麵對這場戰役的時候。

You answer me and encourage me by giving me the strength I need. Psalm 138:3 TLB

“你應允我鼓勵我， 使我心裏有我需要的能力。” 詩篇 138 篇 3 節。
