「我們經過水火；您卻使我們到豐富之地。」（詩六十六12）

只有那曾經歷患難和痛苦的人纔能得到安息。這種安息──從患難中產生的安息──不是勉強的鎮靜，也不是死寂，乃是頂自然地從裡面湧出來的安息。

平常我們以為順利的人，從來不知道憂愁的人，是最有安息的人。可是錯了，這種人從來沒有受過試驗，從來沒有受過苦楚，所以或許輕輕的一震也受不住。凡沒有看見過風浪的水手，不是最可靠的水手；所以船上新來的水手，總是派在不重要的地位上工作的；風浪澎湃的時候，站在重要職位上的，總是那些曾遇見過許多患難危險而能死裡逃生的水手，他們能推測波浪的力量，他們能知道桅桿的堅度，他們能預料風雨的久暫，他們能斷定輪索的韌性。

當風雨吹淋、波浪翻騰時，按照環境看來，似乎是沒有盼望了；但是有經驗的人，好像一根受風刮的草一般：此時倒能躺下來安息了；等風浪一過，他們便又抬起頭來說：「這是出於耶和華。」((撒上三18)

Skin-to-skin touch to provide heat to raise baby’s low body temperature. Tiffany was still weak and unable to hold her, so it’s my job.

因為剛出生，體溫過低，醫生說需要直接抱抱才能給寶寶足夠體溫。婷儀還沒完全恢復，需要休息，所以是我負責抱。

(I don’t think I am going to post a lot of blog in the near future, so it’s better to do it now!)

This blog is for everyone. Thank you for your love, care, support and prayers. Indeed we feel so warm and blessed to have all of you in our life.

20 hours after Tiffany’s bag of water broke, our first baby girl Naomi Tseng was born safe and sound, on 4/6/2010 Tuesday morning at 5:35am. Tiffany is still suffering some pain (of tailbone) and the tear wound of vaginal delivery, With  more rest and pain relief medication, she is getting better now. But definitely she will need more time to get fully recovered.

4/5 early morning 6-7 am, the first day of Tiffany’s maternity leave, her bag of water broke. Soon after that, we rushed to the hospital and were admitted. 3pm, Pitocin was given to induce the labor, which also gradually increase the pain level. Epidural was given after another 6 hours. Tiffany was then able to take few hour nap and save her energy for 2-hour pushing during the active labor.

It was an unforgettable moment when we saw Naomi came with loud crying and when we first held her, a 6-pounds & ~20inches tiny little baby. Again, thank you all for your warm supports all the time!

(有鑑於未來可能寫網誌的時間會短少許多，感謝大家的這篇還是馬上寫比較好)

這篇網誌是為了感謝大家而寫的。因著你們愛心、禱告、關懷還有支持，我們從婷儀懷孕初期到生產結束，都感到非常的溫暖且窩心。我們的大女兒，曾語潔小朋友已經順利出生了！經過二十小時左右的過程，從破水的手忙腳亂，到醫院辦理手續、到打催生針、無痛分娩麻醉針，到兩小時用力把嬰兒推擠出來，看到一個上帝創造的新生命，體重2,745克、身長~50公分的一團小肉球，實在有說不出來的感受。謝謝你們，不管是懷孕、生產前或後，因為你們的關懷支持，成為我們很大的祝福!

今天依照Biblegateway.com的讀經計畫，是申命記22-24章，有講到公共衛生、社會關係、借貸、對待窮人、向神許願、對動物的仁慈、對於助人與公共利益不可視而不見…

其中一段很讓我眼睛一亮的是

23:7 「不 可 憎 惡 以 東 人 ， 因 為 他 是 你 的 弟 兄 。 不 可 憎 惡 埃 及 人 ， 因 為 你 在 他 的 地 上 作 過 寄 居 的 。」

埃及。一個以色列人曾經昌盛、帶來福份、後來卻受欺壓、為奴、吃苦、寄居之地，上帝居然命令祂的子民不可以憎惡埃及。

在美國的日子，身分上從留學生轉到了上班族，家庭角色上從丈夫到預備當爸爸，反正也沒錢買房子，就只能租房子「寄居」在這個逐漸熟悉卻又不太有歸屬的地土上。或許日後會有不一樣的發展，但是即使是受了委屈、不公義對待，上帝的命令還是一樣，「不可憎惡埃及人」。嗯，這真是一段很有意思的提醒。
