Two sisters were baptized in the church today! Mom just brought them two sets of clothes and hats designed by me. This is God's best arrangement! Many people will ask: Why do I put your name in the pattern I designed? Actually, "Carol" is my name, not my name! I remember a long time ago, before I came to America, I always wanted to have an English name for myself, but I never wanted to be called: "Carol"! The name I thought of was a very fashionable name, like Jenny or Jennifer... One day God put "Carol" into my heart, I looked up the meaning of "Carol", it turned out that "Carol" means "sacred music"! I never cared about my English name, but after I became a Christian, we would go to church, and every Thanksgiving gathering, I would often hear my name called by the Secretary! I just realized that "Carol" is "sacred music"!
My pattern design actually has a special meaning! This design was inspired by the Holy Spirit! This pattern design represents "Trinity God"! God=Holy Father! +=Holy Son Jesus (Jesus carried the cross for us)! Carol=Holy Spirit (When we sing sacred music, our spirit will have peace and joy, which means that the Holy Spirit is with us.). Finally, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all "Love"! The idea I designed is not from myself, but God inspired me to have this design. This is my method of preaching the gospel! Many people don't understand the purpose of my design, they think my design is for myself! I must say: Our God is a true and living God! His designs and preparations are beyond my imagination! I used to think that there are too many accidents and coincidences in this world, but today I fully understand that there are no coincidences and accidents in this world, everything is arranged by God! He is God! He is the only Lord who rules over heaven and earth!
And printing T-shirts and hats is it accidental? Of course not! These are the grace of God! Just like this time when the parents came to the United States, they have some things to do! There are many neighbors who are happy to receive this "gift"! Although the "gift" is printed paid by me, the one who really gives the gift is God! God will not let me design these clothes and hats for no reason, these clothes and hats are for people in need! When everyone understands the design concept, I believe you can all see God's "love and grace"! When we are immersed in the pain of the epidemic for three years, and when we see God's pre-arranged grace, we will know that "He is God"! He is the God who created and controls all things in the universe! The three-year epidemic has made us lose hope for life and life, but God already knows our past experiences, and He will also bless us in the future! (1 Corinthians 10:13) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it .～The temptations God gives us are all that we can bear! Only those who can endure the temptation can get the crown given to us by God!
教會今天有兩位姐妹受洗！媽媽剛剛好帶兩套我設計的衣服和帽子給她們，這就是上帝最好的安排！有許多人會問：為什麼我設計的圖案，把自己名字放進去？其實、Carol是我的名字，也不是我的名字！我記得很久以前，我還沒來美國之前，我就一直想要為自己取一個英文名字，但我從來沒有想要叫：Carol！我想的名字就是相當Fashion的名字，像是Jenny 或Jennifer…有一天上帝把Carol放進我心裡，我查一下Carol的意思，原來Carol就是「聖樂」的意思！我從來不在乎自己叫什麼英文名字，但成為基督徒後、我們會去教會，每次感恩節的聚會，常常聽到司會叫我的名字！我才明白原來Carol就是「聖樂」！
我們圖案設計、其實是蠻有特殊意義！這個設計靈感來自聖靈！這圖案設計代表「三一真神」！God=聖父！+=聖子耶穌（耶穌為我們背上十字架）！Carol=聖靈（當我們唱聖樂的時候，我們的靈會有平安喜樂，代表聖靈與我們同在。），最後、聖父、聖子、聖靈都是「愛」！我設計的理念不是出於自己，乃是上帝啟示我，讓我有這種設計，這是我傳福音的方法！許多人不明白我的設計目的，他們以為我的設計是為了自己！我必須說：我們的神是又真又活的神！祂的設計與預備，我永遠都意想不到！以前我會認為這世界有太多的偶然、有太多的巧合，但到今日我完全明白～這世界沒有巧合和偶然，一切都是上帝的安排！祂是神！祂是唯一掌管天地的主！
而印製T恤和帽子是偶然嗎？當然不是！這些都是上帝恩典！就像這次父母來美國，他們有一些事情忙碌！還有很多鄰居很樂意收到這份「禮物」！「禮物」雖然是花錢印製，但真正贈送禮物的人是上帝！上帝不會平白無故讓我設計這些衣服和帽子，這些衣服和帽子都是要給有需要的人！當大家明白的設計理念，相信你們都能夠看到上帝的「愛與恩典」！當我們沉浸在三年疫情痛苦中，當我們再看到上帝事先安排的恩典，我們就知道祂是神！祂是創造宇宙萬物和掌管宇宙萬物的神！三年的疫情、讓我們失去對生命和生活的盼望，但上帝已經知道我們過去的經歷，祂也要給我們未來的祝福！(哥林多前書 10:13) 你們所遇見的試探，無非是人所能受的。 神是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的；在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受得住。(1 Corinthians 10:13) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.～神給我們的試探都是我們能夠忍受的！能夠忍受試探的人、才能得到上帝給我們的冠冕！
