王子悠長的假期終於結束了，今天，他重新上路了，我們要再次適應一下。

回來六個月(我們是12月21日回到香港的)，有時想起英國的日子，也非常懷念。雖然看似很缺乏，今日在計著有多少「磅」剩，但那段無憂無慮、相依為命、天天與朋友一起生活的日子，卻是最單純、最快樂的。很想念每一個在他鄉的朋友(英國、新加坡、澳洲、韓國、Zambia、Zimbabwee、加拿大、西班牙、印度(我可愛的小朋友)、美國)。

不知道會否再起行，不過今次可能不是幾個月，是更長的時間。

要再次開次中午的禱告時間，想更明白約瑟的呼召，想知道下一站是哪兒。

See if you can identify some of the models?

「約瑟」的呼召...

The last week

Learning to Wait

An excerpt from 'If you want to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat' by John Ortberg

Waiting is our destiny as creatures who cannot by themselves bring about what they hope for.
We wait in the darkness for a flame we cannot light.
We wait in fear for a happy ending we cannot write.
We wait for a not yet that feels like a not ever.
Waiting is the hardest work of hope.

The ability to wait well is a test of maturity. Psychologists speak of this as the ability to endure delayed gratification. M. Scott Peck writes, 'Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live.'

Waiting on the Lord is a confident, disciplined, expectant, active and sometimes painful clinging to God.
Waiting on the Lord is the continual, daily decision to say, 'I will trust you, and I will obey you. Even though the circumstances of my life are not turning out the way I want them to, and may never turn out the way I would choose, I am betting everything on you. I have no plan B.'

Waiting requires patient trust - trust that is willing to wait again and again day after day.
Waiting requires confident humility.
Waiting requires inextinguishable hope.

Even youths will faint and be weary,
and the young will fall exhausted;
but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.

Sometimes in your life you will be in an era of spiritual soaring. Be very grateful. Do all you can to stay in the stream of the Spirit's power.

Somes we are not soaring, but we are able to run and not grow weary. You feel frustration, but you also feel God's pleasure in your obedience. Do not try to manufacture spiritual ecstasy. Do not compare yourself with someone who is soaring right now. Your time will come. Just keep running.

Sometimes we will not be soaring, and we cannot run. In those times all we can do is walk and not faint.. It is a hard thing to be a walker when you are surrounded by racers and eagles. But sometimes walking is the best we can offer God. he understands all about that. Walking counts, too.

Keep walking, because what we wait for is not more important than what happens to us while we are waiting.

Now it is just a matter of time.
