求告主

最近这首老歌一直出现在我的脑海

可能因为我需要神得安慰和鼓励

而且最近在预备但以理课程得时候

也发现到但以理不论何时

都先求告上帝

今天可靖的婆婆安息主怀

知道这个消息的时候

我的脑海又出现这首歌

想起了婆婆在2000年1月9日前

打电话到在古晋的我

说：marlene, 回来。婆婆想看你

但是我说：婆婆，我只有1个星期的假期，回来很浪费钱

婆婆说：回来。我想看你

我就这样，stand by 飞机 回到美里

那几天发生很多事

先是婆婆要我弹唱“神爱世人”

然后录在一个卡带

她一直听

后是要我教她写马可的名字 (马可是婆婆宝贝)

然后教会回来的时候

她告诉我

marlene, 我收到上帝给的3封信了

我要回天家了

我还告诉她：不要胡说八道

2000年1月10日傍晚

我们在等6点的连续剧

5点30婆婆催我先去冲凉

她还说：紧张, 今天这双胞胎会相认了

我就赶紧上楼去冲凉

上楼的时候，电话响了

弟弟刚好楼上下来

就说：为什么婆婆的睡觉姿势那么难看？

原来婆婆走了

就那么突然

婆婆把她唯一的项链

留给了她的宝贝孙－马可

一个爱她的孙

在一个小包上

她写了马可的名字...

婆婆的离开让我伤心很多天

我明白可靖的心情

需要时间走过这路

希望你的婆婆

会认识我在天上的婆婆

上帝爱你。

a card for you...

求告主

求主催听我的声音
在我患难时要求告祢
因为祢必怜悯，祢必应许
让我照祢旨意行

求主细听我的哭泣
在我困苦时要祈求祢
因为祢必怜悯，祢必应许
教我依祢真理行

求主增我信心
求主安慰我灵
有了主就得着生命
我要一心仰望
我要荣耀主名
有了主就永不畏惧

However, we will have our "real" cardmaking together tonight. I am looking forward on the outcome of the cards we gonna make :P

Ok Michelle, GET READY! Get inspired by the CARDS magazine!

Another 2 Simple cards

Trying to play with my new stamps - and created these.

Sympathy card - created without any reason. Perhaps just feel like making a sad card :)

A birthday card for a friend. Too simple but took me quite long time to complete. :)

Feel like do more readings. Less blogging perhaps...
