I was baptized before getting married, however, my wedding ceremony

was not hold in the church. In fact, I have my own money and the right

to decide the place and the style I want my wedding to be, but

I chose to respect my husband’s family. Why?

Both my family and my husband’s family are not Christian families,

and my husband is not a believer, either. Being the only Christian

among my family members and growing up in Taiwan where temples are more

than churches, it is really hard for me to fight for my faith,

my lord. However, God is smart, generous, humorous, patient and

compassionate, he understands my situation and is always with me no

matter what happens.


After getting married in Taiwan, I came to Chicago last March, 23.

A year later, I joined the choir of the Hyde Park Christian Reformed

Church, singing for my father in heaven on the Easter Sunday,

admiring his resurrection.

March 23, 2008, God made his promise. Actually, I prayed for my husband

and my non-Christain family nearly two years. I pray to the holy God to

open their minds to see his great love.

My husband who always resisted to go to the church and

despised the bible, showing up in the Hyde Park Church his first time

yesterday and filming my singing in the choir. Although he still

asserts that God created the universe but already forgot us,

I know something is changing in his mind gradually.

In the past, I also wondered that if God exists, why he could allow

some terrible things happen? Why that he allowed Americans to kill

so many Iraqi? Why he allowed Americans to slave other people?

Why many Chinese have to work for a long time to win a little money?

There are so many unfair things in the world. But God’s plan is hard

to imagine, to apprehend, so just humble ourselves to see the

end of the universe.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o’er His body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

每逢思念奇妙十架，榮耀救主在上懸掛

從前名利富足矜誇，我看如土完全撇下

求主禁我別有所誇，只誇救主捨身十架

基督為我獻身流血，我願捨盡虛空榮華

試看他頭他手他足，慈愛憂傷和血並流

從前可曾愛憂交織，荊棘可曾化做冕旒

宇宙萬物若歸我有，盡獻所有何足報恩

神聖大愛奇妙難測，願獻我命，我心，我身，阿門
