This is the Signal Group of my senior secondary classmates and Chinese teacher that majored in Philosophy. Here we share social issues and life philosophy.

Teacher said, “I’m somehow unsettled in such a time and circumstance. Living in today’s Hong Kong, I feel stressful and perplexed but I haven’t lost my life focus. I’m still endeavouring to work on my Life assignment.”

Teacher said, “My Life assignment is…….”

Teacher said, “Have you found your Life assignment and Life focus?”

Student A said, “My Life assignment is…….”

Student B said, “My Life assignment is…….”

Student C said, “My Life assignment is…….”

I said, “My Life assignment is to learn how to logically express God’s love and righteousness and people’s thoughts and feelings with visual symbols (languages) and audible symbols (sounds). I’m now working on my Life assignment by teaching languages, doing translation, learning music composition and practicing performance. Faced with quite a challenge in education, with the increasing risk in concrete language expression, my Life focus may gradually move to abstract sound expression.”

I shared my Life assignment with my church brothers and sister.

……

Another me said, “Are you living somewhere else? You can still get in a mood for learning music?”

I said, “Yes.”

Another me said, “Do you know what is happening out there in our world?”

I said, “How can I keep myself from what is happening with a mobile phone in my hand?”

Another me said, “So why can you still get a mood to learning music? You have your feet off the ground.”

I said, “Yes, I’m in a good mood. I learn music not because of the circumstances but because of my Lord.”

Another me said, “Because your Lord has taken you off the ground up to the air?”

I said, “No, my Lord keeps my feet on the ground and shows me how to seek His plan in me in a steadfast

manner.”

Another me said, “How do you know it is His plan for you to learn music?”

I said, “Because for my music studies, God’s got good planning and providing help all the way. If you know little about it, you may go back to my earlier reflections.”

Another me said, “Fine. So if you have completed your music studies, how can you bless the people today.”

I said, “I don’t know.”

Another me said, “It’s a plan. How come you don’t know?”

I said, “The plan isn’t mine but the Lord’s. He’s given no instruction yet.”

Another me said, “No instruction yet from Him?”

I said, “I just started school. There’s still a long way to go. I don’t think it is time to let me know it.”

Another me said, “So you trust even with no idea about the final goal?”

I said, “Yes, I do.”

Another me said, “And you even take that as your Life Assignment.”

I said, “Yes, I do.”

Another me said, “Yes, I do.”

I said, “I’ve committed myself to following Jesus since 2009. At that time, He showed me no signs of where I would end up. But I chose to follow Him. I chose to seek His plan in me. I am still following up to now. During the past 13 years, I’ve been growing into maturity and successfully saving my despair-filled broken family from destruction.”

Another me said, “This was something in the past. We’re now talking about your Life Assignment, which is something in the future.”

I said, “My family, with as many as 4 members, once broken, is being recovered under God’s plan, let alone my Life Assignment, with only me myself involved.

Another me said, “But the circumstances are so difficult, don’t you feel stressful, perplexed and worried?”

I said, “Very stressful, very perplexed and very worried!”

Another me said, “How do you persevere?”

I said, “By choosing to seek God’s plan in me.”
