秋風秋雨...天氣晴

 

十月份一直往 Maple Ridge 方向跑,因為我們打算在那裏買人生中的第一棟房子。

職場打滾也算久了,為何現在才買房子?說來話長,一千零一夜可能都講不完,總結一句:啊不就沒錢嘛!其實,如果不是爸媽資助首期款,我大概還得等很久,才能進階為有殼蝸牛。搞半天,我也是靠爸一族的

我的個性算蠻硬的,寧願自己苦幹也不想求人,不幸的是 C 有他自己的困難,想貢獻也力不足,我甚至都作了當一輩子月光族的最壞打算。反正一切交給上帝吧,祂接連關了幾扇門,肯定有祂的理由。

今年兩個弟弟都置產了,小弟還是買第二戶,我這老大姊心裏沒有不是滋味根本是極度不平衡!C 看在眼中,疼在心裏,背著我上網看房子,被我發現了,還跟我說頭款他來想辦法。有沒搞錯?!我都拿不出來,你是要去搶銀行嗎?

也許是巧合,幾天後爸媽主動告知,明年會給我一筆錢買房子。那筆資金還足夠解決 C 的問題。突然間,人生好像明亮了起來,長長隧道終於要走完了嗎?這是不是上帝替我開的一扇窗?

後來,我們決定在今年買房子。只是,過程並不順遂,一些波折像雲霄飛車般跌盪。我說天父啊,您的意思到底是要我買或不買?

身為基督徒,有時我覺得最難的是等待、永懷感恩與堅信不移。天父的時機,老是和我安排的時間表,相差十萬八千里;快要滅頂了,還感謝主給我練習游泳的機會,並且相信我也能如耶穌般水上飄,這是多麼困難啊!

不管如何,感謝爸媽伸援手,也感恩一路引導陪伴的主,對我這刁民百般容忍、不離不棄。

在這秋風秋雨的日子,忽然覺得天氣轉晴了!

 

 What Faith Can Do by Kutless

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise
