钟舒漫 & 王祖蓝



我的天父 可否讓我好好地談戀愛
My dear father, will you let me experience a love 不再流淚 不再傷痛 不再聚合又要分開
with no more tears, no more pain, no more breaking and making up 我的天父 我只想要安穩地找個人來愛
My dear father, I just want to stably find someone to love 請讓我知道那個人在不在
Please just let me know if this per-son exists. 我的孩子 難道你忘記了我就是愛
My dear child, did you forget that I am love 學懂愛我 學懂愛你自己 你就懂好好戀愛
Learn to love me, learn to love yourself, then you learn to love 我的孩子 何不嘗試安靜地慢慢去等待
My dear child, why not be silent and slowly wait 你就會知道那個人在不在
Then you will know if this person exists 你是否願意相信 每時每刻都在我手裏 (願意相信)
Are you willing to believe, every second and moment is in my hands (willing to believe) 沒有事情是太早或是太遲 (沒有事情是太早或是太遲)
Nothing is ever too early or too late (nothing is ever too early or too late) 愛我的主 我願意相信 萬事萬物都在你手裏 (願意相信)
My loving saviour, let me believe, everything is within your hands (willing to believe) 我教你順服 我的旨意 (請教我順服 你的旨意)
I'm teaching you surrender, to my will (please teach me to surrender to your will)
It has been a while since my last entry. The world has changed. Suddenly I find myself in a pandemic. In the blink of an eye I went from my last entry in 2017 to 2020. In the last 3 years, my world has changed, in the last 3 months, the world has changed.

I have been questioned in the last few weeks about what I am looking for in a relationship, what the other relationships that didn't work lacked.

I remember this song being sang at one of my friend's weddings. I think I am beginning to learn surrender. To the will of God. Will I ever find that kind of romantic lasting love on earth? I don't know, but I know I have already found an eternal love in my father in heaven who has taught me what love should look like. And boy, have I fallen short in the past.

The answer is love.

"What does blue sky mean in chinese?" It's a bit of a joke in my family, because mum underestimates my brother's ability in chinese and often asks him if he understands the simplest of things.

I am so thankful that my mum bought us up answering questions and asking questions. My current supervisors are most impressed with my willingness to ask questions. Asking questions is so helpful in the learning process. Why is that so? Why did you do that? Why do you think the client acted that way? What do you think? What can I do better?

By asking questions, we can also understand life and the world around us more.

高皓正's testimony

Finally got my hands on the music to 不要驚動愛情 - 高皓正. From my experience, this is the best piece of advice I can give to young people that are in love. Don't fall in love too quickly. Because you will fall out of love very quickly. Respect yourself and the other person. Good things are worth the wait.


Here is an interview with the singer himself. He talks about his upbringing. His mum passed away when he was 6 and although he had family, he felt really alone. 

He had a girlfriend for 7 years then she went overseas. He then talks about having casual physical relationships with females and still feeling an emptiness inside of him. As soon as someone gets close to him, he would get out of the relationship. 

He was seeking for someone to love him. Through some experiences, including with the police, he finally understood that God loves him. Through seeking forgiveness from God, from family, from the girls he hurt, he felt this amazing level of sweet love from God. 

He then decided that he couldn't have physical relationships any more before marriage. Because his relationship with God he didn't want to disappoint him anymore. 

He also talked about problems with his work. And hearing God's guidance- God was going to be his manager and look after his work for him. He was given many chance to meet people and to share his testimony. He asked God-to make sure this is your will, I am going to make some really extreme clauses and if they say yes, then it's going to be your will. Including not filming things with negative content (gambling, etc) and being able to go evangelising. 

He then shared several situations where God's grace was sufficient in his life. 






I can relate to his testimony in several ways. 

I also want to be a strong person. I don't want people to think of me as weak. So although I desire close relationships, I am afraid people won't love me anymore and would leave me, especially when they realise who I am. I am learning to rely more on God's love for me. 

I used to think I knew the kind of partner I would like. Someone short and chubby. Someone who gives me a feeling of warmth, the magical feeling. Someone who loves God, loves music and someone I can share with. I had a vision of the type of person I would like to be with. 

But he is right. It's not about the feeling. I am just after a person who loves God, loves me, and loves others (has a burden to spread the gospel and show God to believers and nonbelievers). Someone I feel safe with. Everything else seems secondary. And I hope there is someone out there looking for someone like me. Someone who isn't pretty or skinny or brilliant at everything I do. I am just a girl who loves God and loves others. And together, we would be able to serve God and serve people. 

I am also going through difficulties with my work. Wondering if God wants me to be here and what I am doing with my life. And I too am given so many opportunities to meet people and share with them my testimony and God's love. 

We are not tools. We are people who were loved by God and now we are going out to love others.
