Since there is a trending #howmuchhaveyouchangedchallenge , I wanted to share my wife’s before and after photos.
The one on the left was taken in 2005 when Amilee was 27.
16 years have passed since then.
The photo on the right was taken earlier this year 2021 when she is 43 years of age.
I think she looks better and younger now!
One inheritance that the body of Christ has to learn to lay hold of is youth renewal. This is the power to stay alive, young, and healthy until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is able to renew your youth, and transform your looks. He who raises the dead is able to give life to your mortal body.
The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians that Christ washes the church with the water of God’s word to prepare her as an unblemished bride with no spot or wrinkle. Don’t just take that spiritually, but also literally.
Ever since some people purchased and read my ebook “Younger and Younger” and listened to the youth declarations audio, they have written to me saying that people are telling them they look good and younger.
Not surprising at all because “Younger and Younger” is a rhema word that the Holy Spirit gave to me for the purpose of renewing God’s children.
Every teaching in the ebook carries the anointing to transform your body and turn back the clock on aging.
You can receive as much renewal as you want, until you are satisfied.
Those who believe and apply the revelations in the ebook consistently will surely see the results!

❤️HARI INI DALAM SEJARAH.❤️
Ya Kamu, Kekasih Allah.🌹
Sebentar tadi, lepak sendiri bersama Suara hati yang agak lama menyepi,
'Salam Ya Qalbi, bagaimana pula nanti? Bagaimanakah pula bentuk nya wajah takdir kita untuk hari ini?"
'Ah! Jalan sahaja Pat, jalan sahaja., jangan cuba di agahi, nothing to forward nothing to delay, segala dan semuanya seperti yang telah di sebut didalam Surah 76, Al Insaan di ayat ke 30.', so please set your heart and Soul at easy.."
"Yaa Man Lepat!!, what's Up!! Hows life my Bradah!?" - tiba tiba Safari kawan dari Ghana menyapa dari belakang.
"Yaw Safar! life itsef is always good, but 'my life situations' is simply Fuck up.., for time of being, I am kind of cast away by the waves of hardtime circum stancess, but, somehow there is beautiful reflection out of it, i still beable to smile and laugh over it., yeaa hey, what is left there for me to say?, Thanks to my sweet Allah hey!"
"Me same man Lepat! Me just come out from Church, prays to Lord Jesus, Me can't see my kids no more, my Ex Frau gone madness!, I am helpless now!'
Aku terdiam dan tunduk ke bumi, tak sanggup menatap mata Safari.. ada garis linangan air yang halus mula terbit dari lereng matanya.
"What about You Man Lepat!?, You see your kids lately? I heard from Lamin your Ex Frau file a court order over you"
"Yes indeed Safari, and I am now end up homeless now, but Safari.. 'do you know what has happened to Jesus Christ?', seem when there is no way out, there is still always a way Through, so Safari when disaster strikes your heart and your soul, please don't turn away from the pain!, face it! Feel it fully, but don't go on create a script around your mind, give all your attention to the feeling, not to the Person, or situation or event that seems to have cause it, Never let 'the mind' used the pain to create a victim identity for yourself'
Anyway out of it.. 'Feeling sorry for yourself and telling your sad story to other will keep your soul more painful'. Stop it and drop it, because all those Suffering out of hardlife are keep kicking Jesus no where else but to the door of Heaven."
"Oh Gosh! You damn right Man Lepat!, Yes that is why Jesus Christ keep on smile over His hardlife time."
"Yeah! Fuckin Hell ey!, let's take a good look at us hey, Damn bloody complaining for non stop!! ha ha ha ha Come on Safari! Go get yourself a cup of Coffee ey!!, lets enjoy the Now and the Here.."

雖說您將離開台灣,但台灣永遠不會離開您!祝福酈英傑處長鵬程萬里!

轉載 @美國在台協會 AIT 貼文
📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點,我也即將離開台灣,我想藉這個機會和大家分享,這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸,也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想,這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉,就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說,從那時起,台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情,也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物,像是水餃和臭豆腐,並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面,我努力用我粗淺的中文,讓別人聽懂我說的話;但同時我也發現,無論走到哪裡,迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此,在成為美國外交官後,能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站,真是再適合不過了。畢竟,是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣,也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後,我也曾派駐其他地點,多數是在大中華區域,但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡,可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然,我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結,或者也叫作「緣分」吧,才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我,為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得:「答案不是很明顯嗎?」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度,解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情,我通常會提到以下幾個領域:
首先,台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡,我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟,經濟益加蓬勃,環境保護更受關注,藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿,但與此同時,台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好,台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣,最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護;年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧,接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者,對美國來說,台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟,科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值,時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式,為解決全球問題做出貢獻,這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民,也是因為我們相信,身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴,就是該這麼做。
最後,每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係,我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意,他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係,比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的,當我向AIT告別的那一天,我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感,因為我知道,美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健,我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻,而深感驕傲。
但是,比起這些事情,我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節,還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音,還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香,這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得,是各位台灣朋友們,你們以各種不同的方式,讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此,我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣,但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "
-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

Far from Macau city and into the heart of wild Coloane there is a hidden hiking trail that leads you to a spectacular nature wonderful few know about!
Thank you Macau Dream Cake for providing delicious Vegan snacks for this adventure!
Please check them out if you are interested in trying:
https://www.facebook.com/macaudreamcake/
https://www.instagram.com/joshtheinternofficial/
In this adventure vlog I travelled off the beaten path, hiking my way through dense nature and hidden villages to discover Macau's secret Sea Cave!
Found on the coast of Macau, Coloane near the hidden gem Ka Ho Village and Our Lady of Sorrow's Church. It is a short hike through the old Portuguese building and down the nature trail till you reach the cliffs of Macau.
Here on the wild, raw coastline of Macau you can find the secret natural wonder, Macau Sea Cave!
Coloane was once a island base for pirates who were active mainly in the Pearl River near Macau and Hong Kong. As late as 1910 pirates ran this island and historic stories say that this sea cave was used to hide treasure and pirate boats.
I have always wanted to travel to the sea caves in Macau and 2 years ago I tried going on an off the beaten path adventure to reach them. However it did not end this well.
This time I thought I knew which hiking trail to take to reach the sea caves and set out, also exploring Ka Ho Village which is another hidden gem, travel destination in Macau.
I really hope you enjoy this adventure travel vlog in Macau and if you would like to see more adventure videos please let me know.
Thanks so much for watching my travel adventure in Macau!
More adventure vlogs coming soon!

THEY WERE BEST FRIEND.
& NEVER LOVER, THEY THOUGHT.
HER: “Years ago, I never would have imagined that I will end up marrying this man whom I said I’ll never go on a date with. Honestly, I have never agreed with you whenever you said that freedom is all that matters. Just like how you disagreed with how I put my feelings and emotions above all things.”
HIM: “Because we are different:I like freedom. You are super clingy And when we were younger, I am sure we just want to be each other’s friend. Just friend, DO NOT CROSS THE BORDER. Because we are different.”
BUT THINGS CHANGED.
THEY FELL IN LOVE DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
HER:“But, Fate brought us together... i don’t know what changed you, but one day, you chose to believe in us, and to take care of me as your better half.You taught me so much about how to love and how to be loved. You put me before freedom, & I learned to put YOU before my feelings.”
HIM:“Thank god. We really made it as close friends, best friends, we can talk about everything. I know all of your problems you know all my issues. As we grow older and more matured. I started, or we both started to realized our similarities.
THEY GREW INDIVIDUALLY, & TOGETHER;
ALWAYS FOR EACH OTHER.
HER:“I vow to grow alongside you. But also never to lose the inner child in me. You always said that I’m like a kid, with a smile planted on your face. Did you know, whenever i’m with you, you make me feel like I can be who I want to be, because you’ll always cherish me for who i am.”
HIM:“I tried to write a perfect vow. I tried to be a perfect man for you today because I want to give you the best me when you see me. I amended my vow again and again. I googled for the best vow so that this scene can look like a movie scene. I tried to look as good as possible for you because I want to give my best to you.
Then I realised...For this 3 years that we are together, you don’t need me to be “perfect”, you just want me to be myself, you believe in me, you support me to be me myself, you bring out the best in me, you love me unconditionally. Because of you, I don’t have to be perfect, and because of you, I am the the best version of myself today marrying you, my best friend.
Thank you love. You inspire me to work hard to give. Because once we practice to give. We will push ourselves to grow more so that we can give more. I would say. Because of you. I can be myself, I don’t have to be perfect. And Because of you, I am the best version of myself today. Thank you.”
FINALLY, THEY HAVE DECIDED ON FOREVER.
HER: “We will have good times together. Yes, we will have bad times together, and there is no one else that I want to do all these but you.I vow to you my eternal loyalty and heart, for you are my better half and very best friend.”
HIM: “You made me fall in love. Over and over again. The proudest thing is that we are growing together in this relationship and I am sure will grow old and wiser together in our marriage.”
