在教會裡，即將從副組長升為組長。
之前心裡非常不甘不願－－
就像雖然早就訂婚三年了，可是到真正要籌備婚禮時，卻莫名慌張起來，想要逃婚。
一直覺得「我還沒有準備好！怎麼突然就？！」
（我在接受邀請當副組長的時候，並沒有聯想到自己有一天會當上組長）
還有一種被黃袍加身的無奈感，明明是因為組裡沒有其他適任的人，我才不得不負起組長重任的。
真的嗎？
不，其實最初我接受任命，並不是因為組裡沒有其他人，
而是對組長施政略有不同意，我有自己的主張；
跟區牧和核心組（組長與前組長）打開天窗說亮話，一頓飯詳談之後，
我更是想起【課程】師兄指派我做 LOA captain (Letter of Achievement) 的原因－－
希望我學習關心別人，協助他們檢視修正、以至達成人生目標。
今天的任務居然一模一樣，證明這是神早就給我安排好的美意，卻之不恭。
而且，既來之則安之，決定了接受，
就放開懷抱，做個有自己一套風格的組長吧，
沒必要墨守成規，跟隨過往組長們的步伐。
再說，關懷是一種習慣，就從每星期找個對象來噓寒問暖開始吧，
就算我只是為了向大家匯報關懷成果而做，也總算踏出了第一步。
角色改變，心態就會跟著改變；
像我加入了英師社團之後，看了他們的提問、分享，
也就開始會對有學習困難的學生產生同理心。
這是我加入之前沒想過的。
所以，
也就是祂的計劃。
而我說分手了。
社會就是有種趨勢，還沒交往的會被催交往，
交往中的會被催結婚，結了婚的會被催生孩子，
生孩子了還是會被催找名校啊報什麼才藝班啊......
根本是「催」勢。
The sad fact of life's fragility reminds me of verses from Ecclesiastes in the Bible about the meaninglessness and meaningfulness of life. :) Here's the quote:
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. They take nothing from their toil that they can carry in their hands.
This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?
All their days they eat in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.
This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.
They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.
(Ecclesiastes 1:2; 5:15-19)
