Здесь Хорошо

Nothing makes you more aware of your own arrogance than a conversation with another arrogant person. And now that I'm aware, I'm quite ashamed. 我常常把自己的思想推到别人的面前,不管是跟谁,我都会变的像个小厉害。I never knew how talking to a всёзнайка like myself can be sooo exhausting. 当我和他说完话以后,我不但觉得头脑疼,也觉得心很沉。现在我才晓得为什么有些人就是不喜欢跟我在一起。没关系。虽然我花了二十年才了解这个道理,但总算我有学到。

想告诉你们。。。又另一个奇迹发生了。

这个夏节,我除了找不到工作,也本来找不到能帮我看房子,给住金的朋友。钱又好像会成为我这几个月最大的困难。可是,当我最无助微弱的时刻,钱就出现了。And all those days that I was worrying and praying and crying for help, it seemed as though it didn't matter at all. I even had a picture flash through my mind--- where I was kicking and screaming like a child who wanted something, thinking that my father would say no; but all the while not knowing that what I needed was already waiting to be given unto me at the appropriate time.

可是你知道吗?六月已经到了。我还找不了工作,但奇迹发生了。今天信箱里来了美国政府欠我的五百快。That's right. Taxes that I forgotten were even owed to me.

And as I held the letter in my hands, I just felt so stupid for worrying and belittling myself even though God had evidently prepared my living expenses. I realised that what he wanted wasn't for me to spend my energy worrying over such trivial matters of life, but rather, to live so as to demonstrate His Love to the world.

So I gathered all my mental resources today and simply stopped trying to find work. Instead, I did what work that I could today. I ran, cleaned the floors, cooked and hoped that it made my mom's life a little easier. Even though I didn't look for work, I know that the appropriate job will come at the perfect time. For now my job is this- and I completed it with joy and patience.

And thanks to prayer, His peace came to me again and I was happy.

So I guess, I just want to let you (whoever's reading this) know that relying on God is the best way to go. If you've done your best, just let God do the rest and stop resting on your own knowledge... Give it all up and pray.

Всё будеть хорошо!
