God's way is higher than us.
Yesterday night, I was stunned by the fact that I become a British Citizen in just a day.
In the past few months, I started counting down. From time to time, unintentionally. I give thanks that I could have this chance to come to the UK to continue my undergrad degree here in Nottingham. This is already more than I could ever ask for. Two years, it's not a long period but not short at the same time. I thought that life in Nottingham is coming to the end unless I would like to get my master in the future. But I know that would be different as people change, time change and my mentality will change as well. More, I know that that will come to an end much faster as my master should be lasting for a year only. Therefore, I know that I got lots of thoughts from time to time, popping up in my mind thinking what and where would I be in the future. However, I didn't expect this would be my option - to stay in the UK whenever I want... (kind of)
It's like going back to the time my mum told me I could have the chance to go to the UK to study. That's like a dream as I thought that's something far away and I didn't expect I got this options in life. And this time, again, that's exactly that kind of feeling. But maybe something more than that... Crazy. All I can say is - really, we can never know what God will give and take but for sure we will be surprised by His grace and supply.
God again reminds me, He cares about my attitude and intention more than anything.
When I applied for the renewal, I told myself that staying here for extra two years are more than enough for myself. To do something I like at the same time to explore more. I didn't expect things would turn out this way - God gives me another choice.
To be honest, my heart feels much relieved. Not because that I could live as aimless and plain as I want to be but see the grace and power of God. If God allows you to do something. He would make a way. Tho I am not sure whether this is the sign from God but I would definitely give it a try until God tells me to go to another place. How great is our God?
Keep praying. Keep praying for His guidance. At the same time, keep walking in His way and immerse in His words and teaching. God will never disappointed us so we should not be disappointed by any hardship as well!

「溫度」這回事
其實我挺在乎生命中遇上的人事物有沒有「溫度」這回事 —— 一個地方、一個人、一段文字。頭一兩次到訪,都有機會被新鮮感遮蓋了那感受溫度的能力。但到訪過幾次見過幾次讀過幾次後,新鮮感續漸散去,剩下的就是那只有你才能讓人感受到的溫暖。
我認為一個人所擁有和能發出的溫度好重要,很吸引。因為你可以輕易地透過行動和說話去表達自己,去讓別人去認識一個「你想別人這樣詮釋你」的自己,但每人的雙眼卻是最直接最騙不到人。很多人都錯失了雙眼所能發出的溫度,那種真實不做作的溫暖和熟悉感。下一次,試試花點留意身邊人的雙眼,你會發現很多他們不會亦不懂用言語去表達的想法和感受。
#倫敦就是一個對我來說不能發出溫度的城市 #每次只想快快的來快快的去

Congrats :)
Congrats to the girl who sometimes would feel like to fit into the mainstream but at last you just can't do it cos you are too comfortable in your own skins and you know that the best way to treat yourself good is to be honest and be yourself :) You are surely heading somewhere!

好喜歡
嘩,我好喜歡這一刻的環境。
兩點鐘過後,午飯時間過了,街上及咖啡室裡所剩下的,就只有零碎的人和空空的座位。
間唔中有幾個客人進來,點杯咖啡,外帶,就走了。
我習慣性地坐在角落的位置,看著人來人往。
就只想這樣,時間停止一會短的時間,讓自己休息一下。
忙裡偷閒,好舒服,好享受。
但,人就是,要有一些,「令自己想逃避」的東西,才令中間的「休息」提高價值。
啊,好想這些時光再延長一點點。

SPOILED KID
Looking back and looking around in the apartment I am living at the moment, memories flushed back in my mind. Pushing me to count my blessings in the past two years.
1. The opportunity to study in UoN.
2. Chances to travel around the U.K. and Europe in a young age.
3. Supportive family especially my lovely parents who give me much freedom in the past 2 years :')
4. Break down and build up by God, keep growing in His love and words through serving Him at the same time.
5. Met lots of lovely and genuine friends in life. (Ashluk, Michael Chan, Agatha, Holam, Henry, Alistair, Martinyiu, Marcolam, Sabi, etc)
6. Has been through a lot of ups and downs. Through all these, I am equipped in different aspects.
7. Have the time, space and platform to spend time with myself and to understand myself more and more. Both good and bad. But still, precious moments in life.
8. Explore. To work and get along with people come from different countries and cultural background.
9. Time to take a deeper yet closer step towards God, my father papa in life.
10. Realised the importance and beauty of love :)

You show me your words at the right timing
So I opened the 'Daily Bread' App I downloaded long time ago today. I didn't use that even I have downloaded that app ages ago. Then I read Joshua 1, I am touched by how good You are fatherpapa :)
I still remember the months I spent adapting the life in UK, mostly spending time alone in my studio in Broadgate Park. I didn't have many friends and couldn't fit in in the lectures as they knew each other the year before and they had their own group. I spent time to know who am I in order to understand and get to know myself more and more.
And I can still remember the day Manyi shared this post to me and your words comforted me. "...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - at that point, I am getting better and I am able to look back and see your grace and work in my life. How amazing you are, God.

Two days before, I had dinner, prayed and shared w/ Charlie and Marco. When they asked me how's life, I am not quite sure about that. I couldn't describe or express my feeling in an exact way... Probably because my schedule was too tight - UKECC, SEEC, trip to Greece and Albania, back before Ashluk left Nottingham, straight back to my dissertation (which I am not good at working on it)... Probably they are the reasons. Or just - I am trying to accept the fact that I am leaving this familiar place and going back to Hong Kong in 3 months.
However, You know me too well. You show me your words and grace.
Thanks God, May all the glory lifted to you.
我不是吩咐過你要堅強勇敢嗎?所以,你不要懼怕,也不要驚慌;因為你無論到哪裡去,耶和華你的 神必與你同在。」約書亞記 1:9
