阳光明媚的天空在Bristol犹如昙花一现,刚刚明明被阳光晒的刺眼,没多久就被乌云挡住了。若不是在上课或者是在非常时刻当中,只要太阳开始亮相,我就好像看到珍稀动物出现般,赶紧拿着相机到街上溜达街拍。照了许多自认为满意的作品就开始和朋友们分享,朋友问说:“怎么都没看到你在照片里面?”“因为都是一个人逛的嘛,没人帮我照相啊~”也有朋友同情地说:“怎么一个人去的呢?可以叫上我啊~” 其实也没有刻意要一个人,只是当时没想太多就这样溜出去了。

阳光再加上有人相伴的画面是美好的;一个人的时候却能展开寻找内心和平的历程。除了捉着太阳当模特儿拍照之外,看着街上的行人、风景、建筑、大自然等的时候,脑细胞也开始活跃起来。平时忙得都没时间好好仔细地审察自己,独处的当儿,千奇百态的自己毫无保留诚实地出现在我眼前。那些自己最不愿看到的缺点,以及那些被压抑到内心最深处的悲恸,还有那些被乐观掩盖的担忧一一涌现。才发现我的心原来正背负着那么多的惶惶不安,仿佛身处在被野兽咆哮声围绕的无人旷野里。孤独、无助、彷徨、害怕的时候,我听见祂的声音:
“Don’t worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking Him with a thankful heart. And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
Philippians 4:6-7
我心中有根刺,它跟着我很久了,一不小心就会被它刺痛,痛得我泪流满面。
“My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” 2Corinthians 12:9
我累了。感觉好像没有一件事能做好。说要好好学习,将来要为社会贡献,其实连自己的家人也照顾不来。我好像浪费了父母毕生的心血,出国留学好像也没让我进步很多,那些没有出国的朋友反而进步得更快又能陪在家人身边又不会造成家人的负担,我是不是做错了选择?还是我不够努力?可是我是真的累了。
Israel, why then do you complain that
the Lord doesn’t know your troubles or care if you suffer injustice?
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard?
The Lord is everlasting God; he created all the world.
He never grows tired or weary.
No one understands his thoughts.
He strengthens those who are weak and tired.
Even those who are young grow weak;
young people can fall exhausted.
But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed.
They will rise on wings like eagles;
they will run and not get weary;
they will walk and not grow weak.
Isaiah 40:27-31

自个儿出走一两个小时,不仅仅是心灵被喂得饱饱的,满满的照片也让我心情特好。和平的定义是什么呢?处在治安很好大家都很友善的城市是和平吗?可是依然存在着极度不安的人群。处在战争灾难当中就没有和平吗?也不见得,只要接上和平之泉源,和平就在我心中。那么多的愁苦和担忧,说到底,我所需要的只是内心的和平好让我面对这一切。而真正的和平就是知道要依靠祂。

虽然一个人看起来很孤单,但有时我也挺享受一个人的生活,不必去迎合别人或去迁就别人,自己做自己喜欢的事,快哉快哉
@Drumho 虽然人是属于群体的,也需要朋友,可是也要有独处的时候,好好和自己相处=)
@Jinghan 我们都是在外的留学生,加把劲!=)
