臉書更新-- （FB有與小女孩的互動影片和原文） https://www.facebook.com/jeremylin7/videos/1817447195156547/ 感謝翻譯來自jlinfans.com林網/Msiayee http://jlinfans.com/t/topic/3639/108 在過去的一年，我得到了和Ava見面的機會，她是一名來自芝加哥兩次被確診出患有白血病，每天都為生命奮鬥的女孩。關於整個情況有趣的是人們認為我是讓她的生命變得不同的人。是的，我邀請他們到我們對戰公牛的比賽中，賽後也花時間和這個家庭見面，一整年發給她滑稽好笑的電郵，在西雅圖拜訪她，並為她和家人禱告。但每當有人問我關於她的事，我唯一真正說的就是Ava影響了我多少。我不是只為了說而說。相信我，我不是那種急切投入博客類型的長文寫作這類人，因為從大學畢業後我竭盡全力避免再碰和微軟 Word有關的東西（感謝上帝，我的辦公室是球館）。但我不能對這個話題保持沉默。我愛和Ava待在一塊，我們的成熟度很可能不會相差太遠，哈哈。其實在那天，她拿出了一個“醫生工具箱”來玩，而那裡面裝的是真正的醫院工具。對於那些不瞭解的，我是非常非常的害怕打針，所以當她滿不在乎地用她的工具當起 “醫生”時，我用盡我所有力氣不去看，如果我發現任何東西讓我想起了針，我會崩潰 ...... 千真萬確。Ava是我所見過最甜，最純潔善良的小女孩......我對這點無法強調的足夠。無論是她自然的笑容，可愛的電郵內容，令人驚訝的困難笑話或好客（當我們在西雅圖拜訪她時，她給了我完整的選項菜單，並準備所有我要求的食物/飲料）。每位遇見她的人都會立刻感受到她的個性和喜悅。我很難獲得喜樂，因為我經常讓我的際遇成為自己沉重的負擔，但是和Ava的互動讓我想起了純粹的喜樂。 Ava的觀點也鼓勵了我。這段時間，我在一天結束時埋怨來自五對五訓練導致的新水泡，引起我反感的電郵，我投籃不順的訓練，又或應該是晴空萬里陽光明媚的帕羅奧圖但卻烏雲遮天時。但是，當我為Ava禱告時，當我讀到Esther（Ava的母親）的博客時，或者當我偶然看見我手機裡她的照片時，一切都會改變。Ava和她的家人沒有奢侈的時間，舒適或確定性。每個逝去的時刻都需要珍惜，每一天都不能浪費。他們所做的每件事都一定會有個永恆的，屬天的觀點。因為他們的眼裡凝視着死亡，並且不能保證有明天。上帝放在他們身上的煉火比我所經歷的還要熱上100倍，這就是為何我不斷的被激勵。Ava孩子般的信心和堅持下去的力量鼓勵了我。Esther的博客讓我對人生有個全新的思考方式。這就像一些大衛的詩篇，他們以最原始的發洩，憤怒或高興的情感開始，但在重新獲得力量以及對耶穌的盼望中結束。今天，我在Chipotle餐館享用（驚喜的）午餐時，我的訓練師談到他自西雅圖後，如何每天早上為Ava禱告，並且為他的一天重新審視自己的心/態度。Ava感動了非常多人的生命，上帝在工作，即使是在"幽谷"中。這也是為何她影響我超過她所知道，她對我所做的比我為她做的還要多。但是在一天結束時，這不是關於我，也不是關於Ava。我們所領受的呼召和我們的生命都是指向一位真正的救主。沒有人會知道這個故事最終的結局是如何，但是Ava和他的家人繼續奮鬥。每一天他們奮鬥，耶穌的榮耀就彰顯了。每一個他們克服的障礙都影響着他的國度。我觀察到一件事，就是這個家庭被真實的失敗感和恐懼感而屈服，但是上帝不曾離開他們。當他們跌倒時祂扶他們起來，他們軟弱時祂賜下力量。這就是生命，這就是上帝。Ava的生命充滿了上帝（的同在），這就是為何我不能再保持沉默。有關Ava的最新消息請關注Team Brighter Days!! https://www.facebook.com/teamavabright/ 原文-- This past year, I got the chance to meet Ava Lee -- an 8 year old from Chicago who was diagnosed with Leukemia twice and is fighting for her life every day. The funny thing about this whole situation is that people think I'm the one who’s making a difference in her life. Yes, I invited them to our Bulls game, spent time meeting the family afterwards, sent hilarious emails throughout the year, visited her in Seattle and prayed for her and her family. But whenever someone asks me about her, the only thing I really talk about is how much Ava has impacted me. I'm not just saying this to say this. Trust me, I'm not one to jump at typing long blog type entries and since graduating from college I've gone out of my way to avoid anything related to Microsoft Word (thank God my office is the gym). But I couldn't stay silent on this topic. I love hanging out with Ava and we're probably not too far off in maturity level haha. In fact the other day, she brought out a "doctors kit" to play with and inside were real hospital tools. For those who don't know, I'm DEATHLY afraid of needles, so while she was nonchalantly playing "doctor" with her kit, I was trying my hardest not to look knowing if I spotted anything that reminded me of needles, I'd freak out...foreal. Ava is legit the sweetest, purest-hearted little girl I've ever met...I can’t emphasize this enough. Whether it's her natural smile, adorable emails, surprisingly difficult jokes or hospitality (when we visited in Seattle, she gave me a full menu of options and prepared any food/drink I requested), everyone who meets her instantly feels her personality and joy. I struggle with joy because I let my circumstances weigh me down too often, but interacting with Ava reminds me what pure joy looks like. Ava also encourages me with perspective. These days, my complaints at the end of the day are new blisters from five on five, an email that rubbed me the wrong way, a workout where I shot poorly or a cloudy day when Palo Alto should be blue skies and sunny. But when I pray for Ava, when I read Esther's blog (Ava's mom) or when I come across a picture on my phone of her, everything changes. Ava and her family don't have the luxuries of time, comfort or certainty. Every passing moment must be cherished. Every day can't be wasted. Everything they do must have an eternal, heavenly perspective. Because they're staring death in the eye and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. The refining fire God has put them through is 100x hotter than the one I'm going through, which is why I'm constantly inspired. Ava encourages me with childlike faith and strength to persevere. Esther's blogs make me think of life in a brand new way. It's like some of David's psalms. They start with the rawest emotions of venting, anger or please, but end in renewed strength and hope in Jesus. Today, during my Chipotle (surprise) lunch, my trainer talked about how he's spent every morning since Seattle praying for Ava and re-evaluating his heart/attitude for the day. Ava's touching so many people's lives and God is working even in the "valley." And it's why she's impacted me more than she knows and done way more for me than I've done for her. But at the end of the day, this isn't about me, nor is it about Ava. Our calling and our lives are all to point to the one true Savior. No one knows how the story will end, but Ava and her family are fighting. And every day they fight, Jesus' glory is revealed. Every obstacle they overcome impacts His kingdom. If there's one thing I've observed, it's that the Lee family has been brought to their knees and felt the realest feeling of defeat and fear. But God not once left them, He picks them up when they fall, He gives them strength when they are weak. That is life, that is God. And Ava is filled with God, which is why I can't stay silent.
