Shalom, dear all!
Thank you for faithfully praying for us. Douglas and I left the Mike & Kay’s cabin by Lake Tahoe and moved back to Dan & Bev’s house in Reno on Monday. We enjoyed our stay at Lake Tahoe very much. But Douglas has a lot of work to do in Reno, and travelling up-and-down the 8000ft hills on the icy road took him a long time.
各位代禱勇士，收信平安。
感謝你忠心地為我們禱告。道格拉斯和我星期一離開了麥克和凱伊在太浩湖畔的小屋，搬回丹尼爾和蓓芙琳在里諾的房子。我們非常喜歡住在太浩湖畔的時光。但道格拉斯在里諾有很多工作要做，現在道路多處結冰，在8000英尺高的山丘上上下來回很花時間。
Thanks to God that Douglas is finally able to plan our trip to visit family members in Michigan. We are going to leave on the coming Monday, the 14th. It’s a new adventure that I have to totally trust Douglas since I don’t know who we are going to see or when. It’s like that I shut my eyes and walk ahead with my hand in his. It might be kind of healing to a person like me.
感謝上帝，道格拉斯終於能夠計劃我們在密西根州探望家人的行程。我們將在下週一，14日出發。這也算是新的探險吧，我必須完全信任道格拉斯，因為我不知道我們將在何時與誰見面。這就像是，我閉上眼睛，隨他牽我的手走著。對我這種人來說，那可能也是一種療癒。
On the Wednesday Bible study, we also learned something about healing. I hadn’t thought of what a shock it could be to Noah when he got out of the Ark after the Flood. He had never seen rain before it. And actually, it was the first rain ever since God created the world. After being through the flood, without God’s “rainbow covenant therapy”, seeing a little black cloud in the sky could have made Noah panic badly and he might not have wanted to leave the ark at all. God made a covenant with him, promising not to destroy the world with the flood anymore, and set the rainbow as a sign of the covenant.
在星期三的查經課程中，我們也學到了一件關於療癒的事。在這之前我沒想過，當挪亞在洪水過後走出方舟時，他是多麼的震驚。（我們可以閉上眼睛想像一下那時的場景。）他以前從未見過下雨。事實上，那是自上帝創造世界以來的第一場雨。經歷過洪水之後，如果沒有上帝的「彩虹聖約療法」，看到天空中的一小片黑雲可能會讓諾亞嚴重恐慌，他也可能恐慌到根本不想離開方舟。上帝與他立約，應許不再使用洪水毀滅世界，並且以彩虹為立約的記號。
Our loving God knows what we have been traumatized, even traumas that are hidden in the depths of our souls that we don't know about ourselves. And if we think of it deeper, we can be recalled of how God protect us that we may stumble, but not fall; be perplexed, but not be in despair. So, no matter what dark clouds, as long as we bury “rainbow” in mind, God would make us grow in faith. Thank to God for He loves us so.
慈愛的神知道我們過去有什麼陰影，甚至藏在靈魂深處我們自己都不知道的陰影，祂都知道。如果我們更深入地思考，我們可以回想起神如何保護我們，我們可能會跌倒，但不會全身仆倒；感到困惑，但不致於絕望。於是，無論有什麼黑雲，只要心中常存彩虹，神都使我們信心成長了。感謝愛我們的神！
Please remember us in your prayers.
敬請繼續在禱告中記念我們：
1. May God give guidance to Meni Beach Baptist Church Wewak PNG in developing the ministry of making sanitary napkins for school girls and women who newly give a birth in the hospital. (The two pastors’ wives are figuring out how to get the fabrics that are suitable, affordable, and available.)
