這幾天的課程,我經歷許多奇妙與恩典。例如小組要我做最後的結論分享時,我腦中無法立即整合諸多討論後的簡短摘要,然而我卻在那當下聽到一首歌(I will walk with you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgBmcUkWp8Y),看到神要我跟大家想分享的話,祂真的就在我身邊。
“Jesus is our shepherd, who leads us- though we are weak- into the arm of his grace."(耶穌是我們的牧者,即便我們軟弱,祂仍引導我們走進祂恩典的懷抱)
而接續兩天的care for caregivers的課程,我們在小組分享中,我當一個觀察者,紀錄訴說悲傷者與關懷者的互動,但過程中,我似乎也跟著悲傷者一起進入她的時空,但卻深深感受了神要對訴說悲傷者說話,我把我的感受說了出來,並一起為悲傷者禱告。不可思議的是,我在禱告後,悲傷者告訴我們,說傷害她的人是一個台灣人,但是神卻透過我這個台灣人溫暖與安慰了她。
感謝神,一步步裝備我,成為支持我的力量,如同我跟許多人分享過的,不是我要做什麼,而是神要我做什麼。God bless us!
