關於 i slept well last night ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

有一次要下南部工作，我跟本不知道有誰會跟我們一起下去，直到我看到一個超帥的美國黑人上車，我就想說「死定了⋯我一定會沒辦法跟他變成朋友⋯」

因為認識的朋友都知道我英文差到不行🥲🥲（是真的超級差的那種）

但車上其他朋友瘋狂鼓勵我要勇敢說，只要你敢說他一定會知道你想表達什麼。
因為我們人跟人起初是來溝通的不是考試，不用那麼害怕！

工作了兩天我真的用盡我所會的英文，不會講的我很自然的用了我最擅長的「表演」來表達，aj馬上知道我想表達什麼！甚至開始教我們剛剛當下不太會說的單字和文法！

因為有了一點成就感，在去南部的路上，我甚至一直瘋狂的想跟AJ聊天，瘋狂看了好多google翻譯去找很多我想講的單字，想跟他說好多好多話，分享好多好多事情😂😂

我真的是看到外國人是會迴避的那種人⋯因為我超級超級超級超級害怕溝通😆
所以當下真的真的超感動⋯我居然可以跟外國朋友溝通甚至變成朋友！

在這邊簡單分享我到底都說了什麼

睡了一晚的隔天早晨⋯

破英文的麥：「morning bro」（外國人撞肩）
Aj:「morning !」

破英文的麥：「嗯⋯疑⋯ㄞ⋯yesterday…sleep..good..?」

Aj:「certainly! I slept well last night」（我查翻譯的）

😂😂😂😂😂

最後一天
我真的很喜歡AJ這個朋友，於是叫了蔡承翰幫我拍照，想紀念這一刻的美好！

麥：「蔡承翰！幫我拍我跟aj聊天的感覺～」
翰：「你又不會講英文！」
麥：「你就拍啦」
翰：「來囉！」

麥：「what up bro！」（撞肩）
Aj:「yo what up!」
麥：「⋯⋯⋯嗯⋯啊⋯ABCDEFG🎵」
Aj:「HIGK」
麥：「LMOP」

甚至轉換到ㄅㄆㄇㄈ

兩人笑到不行😂😂😂😂

這趟旅程真的讓我體會「如果你真的想要做一件事情，你真的會努力找辦法的」

當然
這句話很多人都說過，但聽過歸聽過，有沒有真的感受又是另外一回事，至少這是我真的感受～

Last week at @orchardhealthclinic my therapist, Vanessa, said my neck is in a much better shape than it did 2 weeks ago, the muscles are a lot, a lot more relaxed. What changed, she asked.

What changed is, I managed to sleep from 10pm-5am bcos Layla slept though the night after 2 weeks of waking up every 3hrs.

With sufficient rest, i woke up feeling superb, emotionally and physically. I was completely in awe with what one night of rest can do to the body!

Even superman needs a break. Moreover, we, moms, are just human with superhuman abilities.

We know we need to rest. But once baby naps or goes to bed at night, suddenly we realize we have clothes to fold, floor to sweep, clothes to pack and all that nonsense. Mommies, STOP! Lol..

Give yourself that well-deserved break!

On 3 June, 930pm, @the_positive_movement and I will be coming together to conduct a 1hr session for mommies to relax!

Learning from the Destruction of Sodom

“and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked (for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):” (2 Peter‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The apostle Peter wrote that Abraham’s nephew, Lot, was righteous. By this, we know that he is saved and that he got saved because he had faith in Yahweh.

However, Lot’s end was tragic. He escaped from Sodom with no possessions except for the clothes on his back, his wife, and his two daughters.

On the way out of the city, his wife turned back after being told not to, and was turned into a pillar of salt.

Afterwards, Lot settled in a cave because of fear.

“When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived. Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth. Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.” They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose. It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line. ” They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up. Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.” (Genesis‬ ‭19:29-36‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Seeing the scale of destruction, Lot’s two daughters thought that the whole world was destroyed and that there were no other men left, so they proceeded to make Lot drunk with alcohol, and slept with him to bear children. After that traumatic experience, all they could think about was sleeping with a man!

This was a righteous man’s ending because he chose to live a worldly life.

This all began because Lot decided to walk by sight. Abraham and Lot’s flocks had grown so much that they could not live together anymore. When Abraham asked Lot to choose where to separate himself to, Lot chose based on what he saw, without praying to ask for God’s counsel—he was walking by sight.

“Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.” (Genesis‬ ‭13:10-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We learn from the Book of Proverbs that there is a way that seems right to a man, but it only leads to death.

“There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs‬ ‭14:12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

From then on, righteous Lot was tormented in his soul (mind, will, and emotions) every day from seeing and hearing the wickedness of the people in Sodom.

Not only him, but his family was exposed to this worldliness daily as well.

We who are born-again will feel this tormented soul state even more so than Lot because we have the Holy Spirit inside us. Our born-again spirit hates what is evil and loves what is good.

This is why if genuine Christians fall into sin, they will hate it and want to be delivered from sinful habits and lifestyles.

Lot’s wife turned back to Sodom because her heart was full of the world. Her treasures were in that city. When she looked back after the angels told her not to, it revealed that she was not really saved (she had no faith in Yahweh).

The wicked ways of Sodom had also rubbed off on Lot’s daughters. They learned to make their father drunk and do something as vile as committing incest with their father.

All these tragedies happened because Lot chose to put himself and his family in a worldly environment, without leaving Sodom before its destruction. He failed as the head of the house.

Worldliness will ruin Christians and cause them to live defeated lives. They stop reading God’s word and praying, and instead use all their time and effort to pursue what the world runs after, only rushing towards their destruction. Unnecessary hurts and suffering are sure to come.

What example are you setting for your family? Are your daily habits leading them closer to God’s ways, or drawing them away from His ways and towards the world instead?

“Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor...For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:8, 11-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Are you focusing on earthly things like “gold, silver, costly stones”, or is your heart on the things of God which are heavenly?

When the time comes for you to stand before Jesus’ throne, don’t be like Lot who escaped with nothing but his life. Lot’s works were all burnt up, and he got out of the city with nothing, like he lived his whole live in vain.

When the day comes for your eternal rewards to be measured, I hope that you will be happy with the way you invested your time in this life. When you build your life upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, with the Gospel and its advancement as your chief goal, there is no way you will be shortchanged on ‘awards day’.

What is the point of chasing foolish things in this lifetime only to end up with nothing that lasts forever, as if you are saved through fire with all your works burnt up? Be wise—walk by faith, not by sight. God’s word is true.

Judgment day for Christians is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it is a day for receiving eternal rewards. How do you maximize your rewards, identify your God-given calling in life, and step into that to enjoy a worthy life? I share a whole book about that in “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”.
This was the first book I wrote, and it is full of revelation about our eternal rewards which are hardly taught about in pulpits today (I’ve never heard anyone preaching this): http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

The NBA scoring champion took his show into the playoffs Sunday and overcame a bad case of pregame jitters.

"You got anything bigger than butterflies?" Allen Iverson asked, searching for the words to describe his anxiety. "I might have had a buzzard in my stomach."

Iverson scored 30 points Sunday in the first NBA playoff game of his career as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Orlando Magic 104-90 in the opener of their best-of-5, first-round series.

Iverson said he slept poorly and woke up hourly, beginning at 5:30 a.m., in anticipation of the team's 9 a.m. breakfast. He's always nervous before a game, but said realizing a lifelong dream of appearing in the playoffs made Sunday especially gut-wrenching.

"I heard he got 15 minutes of sleep last night. That was 15 more than I expected," Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said, adding that the third-year pro's debut didn't surprise him.

"I think he handles situations like this pretty well," the coach added. "The only thing that I worry about is when he takes an individual challenge too much. I think he realizes now that he can just play."

Iverson, who said he actually got a lot more than 15 minutes of sleep, made 12 of 29 shots and finished with seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and six turnovers in 45 minutes.

When he wasn't the answer for the 76ers, Matt Geiger was. The center scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and led an 11-0 run that Philadelphia used to pull away for good.

Geiger also had 10 rebounds, helping the 76ers compile a whopping 57-36 edge on the boards.

Iverson struggled after scoring 18 in the opening half, missing 10 of his first 13 shots in the second half. But he held his composure and provided the basket that gave Philadelphia the lead for good midway through the fourth quarter.

"I'm still excited," said Iverson, who at 6-feet became the smallest player in league history to win a scoring title, averaging 26.8 points. "I feel like I could play another 48 minutes. The crowd was against us, but it was great just playing in that kind of atmosphere."

Penny Hardaway led Orlando with 19 points, but only three came in the second half. Nick Anderson added 18 and rookie Michael Doleac had 11.

The Magic used four different defenders -- Anderson, Hardaway, Darrell Armstrong and Matt Harpring -- on Iverson, and none of them enjoyed much success.

When Orlando tried to double-team the scoring champion, Iverson did a good job of finding Geiger and other teammates. Magic coach Chuck Daly is not sure the Magic can do much different defensively against him in Game 2 Tuesday night.

"We've done about everything. And I think that regardless of what you do, he's going to get 25 points ... He's really a genius with the basketball," Daly said.

George Lynch had 15 points and 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who won two of three regular-season meetings against Orlando, which at 21-4 had the best home record in the Eastern Conference this year.

The Magic shot only 34 percent from the field in the first two quarters, yet trailed just 50-47 at the half because they outscored the 76ers 23-6 from the foul line while attempting 31 free throws to Philadelphia's 13.

In three regular-season games against Orlando, Iverson averaged nearly 23 points a game. The Magic held him to 16 points in one game and 14 in another, although cold shooting probably was as much of a factor as Orlando's defense.

The 76ers star set the tone early with 11 first-quarter points and two assists, including a lob to Larry Hughes that the Philadelphia rookie caught up to on the baseline for a highlight-reel dunk and a 31-22 lead.

The Magic stayed close by living on the foul line, particularly in the last 6:10 of the second quarter when they trimmed four points off Philadelphia's lead despite going scoreless from the field.

Anderson's 3-pointer tied the game early in the third quarter, and the Magic went ahead briefly before the 76ers settled down to lead 70-69 going into the final period.

"They just outhustled us, plain and simple, in our own building," said Hardaway, the Magic's four-time All-Star guard. "They came in and were more aggressive on the backboards than we were, and it showed."

Notes: Once one of the toughest places in the NBA to get a ticket, Orlando Arena was not filled for Sunday's game. Attendance was announced as 15,267 -- 1,981 shy of capacity. About 3,000 tickets were available 90 minutes before tipoff ... Although the 76ers are in the playoffs for the first time since 1991, eight of the 15 players on the team had postseason experience before Sunday. Rick Mahorn, who's in his 16th season, led the way with 101 games. The other seven -- Tyrone Hill, Eric Snow, Harvey Grant, Aaron McKie, George Lynch, Matt Geiger and Theo Ratliff -- had a combined 94 games of playoff experience ... Iverson won the scoring title despite shooting just .412 from the field -- the lowest mark by a scoring champion since George Mikan shot 40.7 percent in 1949-50.
