王盈方醫師瘋狂之旅 Dr Yvonne Wang's Blabberings

雖然我的家沒有人是基督徒, 我很小的時候就已經接觸教會. 我們家對面有一座教會, 我讀的幼稚園也是一個基督教的幼稚園. 我在八歲的時候去美國住了三年, 十歲時在一位阿姨的帶領下還做了一個決志禱告. 當時是完完全全的相信耶穌的故事, 每個禮拜都可以撘便車去教會, 在主日學也很喜歡聽聖經裡的故事.

不過在十二,三歲的時候又搬到另外一個國家. 當時因為種種因素使我無法那麼方便的去教會, 我逐漸的與神疏遠了.

我小時候的思想非常不成熟而且又自我中心, 完全不會從別人的角度來看事情. 在某些事情上, 我是一個很被動的人. 比如說, 要是有人方便帶我去教會的話, 我就會去, 不方便的話就不會去. 因此再1999年時接觸到了另外一個宗教, 不過那一年過的很不快樂.

感謝神在2000年的時候以巧妙的計畫又把我歸回正路. I started going to church again. 那一年充滿著許多不可思議的事情. 這些事情的發生感覺上不可能是因為巧合, 而像是一個特別為我安排的計畫. 我從此以後再也沒有質疑神的存在.

但是當我來到雪梨時, 又因為工課忙碌, 屬靈方面的知識不多, 而很少去教會. 當時認為只要相信神就夠了. 後來我才開始發現那樣並不夠, 漸漸的又跟神疏遠了, 變的不愉快了. 比如說, 每當你看到一個朋友的時候, 要是你只跟他 “Hi, Bye” 而沒有去了解他的近況 你將會跟這位朋友疏遠. 同樣的, 相信神並不夠, 要自己主動的去試著了解神的話語. 但是光靠自己是不夠的, 所以因該來教會, 研習聖經, 讚美神給我們的一切, 並且幫助其他的基督徒互相成長.

I had been living in Sydney alone from 2001-2002. Then, another "coincidence" happened in 2003: my mom got transferred to Sydney because of her job. When my mom was opening her bank account, one of her former colleagues from the middle school she used to teach in two decades ago recognized her in the bank. The colleague turned out to be Lily Wang's mother. I have already heard about Lily Wang when I was in high school in NZ, and I was aware that she was one of my seniors in medicine, but I didn't know that my mom knew her mom! There had been no contact between the two moms for more than a decade! Through this, I started going to EFCOS again.

Although my growth in character and spirit has been slow, there is quite a difference between the me a few years ago and now. I'm also losing desire for some of my bad habits. These changes could not have occurred without God's special plans and lessons for me. God has helped me sort out the priorities in my life and look at things from a much wider range of perspectives. Finally, I hope everyone in church will apply God's words into their everyday life and experience growth in the fruits of the spirit as well as help each other grow.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23.
