蝴蝶的蛻變：Kin的信仰旅程

Aug 12th, 2024

蝴蝶的出現

某天晚上，我回到很久沒踏足的店鋪。那天，一隻漂亮的蝴蝶飛進了店裡，翅膀上的斑斕色彩在燈光下閃耀著。這隻蝴蝶的出現讓我想起了我的朋友Amii，就像上帝的啟示一般。我立刻拍下蝴蝶的照片並發給了Amii。我們都感到這是一個特別的巧合，似乎是上帝在通過這隻蝴蝶傳遞某種訊息。

事業的轉變與信仰的象徵

正當我的事業經歷重大轉變之際，這隻蝴蝶的出現給了我無限的啟示。我計劃對店鋪進行大規模裝修和轉型，希望能夠改變店鋪的形象，迎來新的發展機遇。蝴蝶的蛻變過程，正如我對店鋪進行的改變一樣，是一個艱難但充滿希望的過程。蝴蝶從毛毛蟲到蛹，再到破繭而出，化作美麗的蝴蝶，這一生命歷程象徵著我事業和信仰的轉變和重生。

奇妙的巧合

Amii是一位在信仰上給予我很多啟發的朋友。認識她要感謝我的好朋友T，是他介紹我們認識的。T是Amii在Saddleback教會的會友，而Amii的公司在多明尼加有一家工廠，T知道我在多明尼加工作，於是他把我們連結在一起。這種奇妙的巧合讓我感受到上帝的安排和引導。

信仰的重拾

在過去的十多年裡，我一直忙於工作，與信仰的聯繫逐漸減少。然而，認識Amii後，我重新接觸到基督教，找回了兒時對信仰的熟悉感。我從小在基督教學校讀書，對聖經和耶穌基督有著深厚的了解。但隨著我移居到多明尼加，這些聯繫變得模糊。Amii的出現，讓我重新燃起對信仰的熱情。每次我回香港，我都會參加Saddleback教會的活動，並感受到那裡的氛圍和人們的溫暖，這讓我再次感受到信仰的力量，支撐著我度過了許多困難的時刻。

信仰的角色

我對信仰的態度有些矛盾，既相信它的存在，但也不完全依賴它。我常常處在這樣的狀態中：既有信仰，但同時也依靠自己的力量。我從小對信仰的熟悉，讓我在困境中找到了力量和希望。雖然我常常依靠自己的力量度過難關，但我知道，在冥冥中，有一種力量在支持著我。這種力量讓我在面對挑戰時，依然保持積極和正面。

蝴蝶的啟示

這隻蝴蝶的出現，象徵著我人生中的轉變和重生。就像蝴蝶從毛毛蟲變成美麗的生物，我的人生也在經歷著一次蛻變。Amii和T在這個過程中扮演了重要的角色，他們幫助我找回信仰，在人生的旅途中給予了我支持。

The Butterfly's Transformation: Kin's Journey of Faith

The Appearance of the Butterfly

One evening, I returned to my long-abandoned shop. That night, a beautiful butterfly flew in, its iridescent wings shimmering under the lights. The appearance of this butterfly reminded me of my friend Amii, as if it were a revelation from God. I immediately took a photo of the butterfly and sent it to Amii. We both felt it was a special coincidence, as if God was sending a message through this butterfly.

Transformation in Business and the Symbol of Faith

As my business was undergoing significant changes, the appearance of the butterfly gave me immense inspiration. I was planning a major renovation and transformation of my shop, hoping to change its image and welcome new opportunities. The process of the butterfly's metamorphosis, from caterpillar to pupa to beautiful butterfly, mirrored the changes I was making to my shop – a difficult but hopeful journey. This life cycle symbolizes the transformation and rebirth of both my business and my faith.

A Miraculous Coincidence

Amii has been a significant spiritual influence in my life. I have to thank my good friend T for introducing us. T is a friend of Amii from Saddleback Church, where Amii's company has a factory in the Dominican Republic. Knowing I was working there, T connected us. This miraculous coincidence made me feel God's arrangement and guidance.

Rediscovering Faith

For the past decade, I had been busy with work and gradually lost touch with my faith. However, after meeting Amii, I reconnected with Christianity, rekindling my childhood familiarity with faith. I grew up in a Christian school, deeply familiar with the Bible and Jesus Christ. But as I moved to the Dominican Republic, these connections faded. Amii's presence reignited my passion for faith. I started participating in Saddleback Church activities, feeling the warmth and atmosphere there. Every time I returned to Hong Kong, I would join Saddleback's activities, feeling the power of faith again, supporting me through many tough times.

The Role of Faith

My attitude towards faith is somewhat contradictory; I believe in its existence but do not fully rely on it. I often find myself in a state where I have faith but also depend on my own strength. My familiarity with faith from a young age has given me strength and hope in difficult times. Although I often rely on my own strength to get through tough times, I know there is an unseen force supporting me. This force helps me stay positive and optimistic when facing challenges.

The Butterfly's Revelation

The appearance of this butterfly symbolizes transformation and rebirth in my life. Just as the butterfly transforms from a caterpillar into a beautiful creature, my life is also undergoing a metamorphosis. Amii and T have played significant roles in this process, helping me rediscover my faith and providing support on my life journey.
