脸书更新-- （FB有与小女孩的互动影片和原文） https://www.facebook.com/jeremylin7/videos/1817447195156547/ 感谢翻译来自jlinfans.com林网/Msiayee http://jlinfans.com/t/topic/3639/108 在过去的一年，我得到了和Ava见面的机会 ，她是一名来自芝加哥两次被确诊出患有白血 病，每天都为生命奋斗的女孩。关於整个情况有趣的是人们认为我是让她的生命变得不同 的人。是的，我邀请他们到我们对战公牛的比赛中，赛後也花时间和这个家庭见面，一整 年发给她滑稽好笑的电邮，在西雅图拜访她，并为她和家人祷告。但每当有人问我关於她 的事，我唯一真正说的就是Ava影响了我多少。我不是只为了说而说。相信我，我不是那 种急切投入博客类型的长文写作这类人，因为从大学毕业後我竭尽全力避免再碰和微软 Word有关的东西（感谢上帝，我的办公室是球馆）。 但我不能对这个话题保持沉默。我爱和Ava待在一块，我们的成熟度很可能不会相差太远 ，哈哈。其实在那天，她拿出了一个“医生工具箱”来玩，而那里面装的是真正的医院工 具。对於那些不了解的，我是非常非常的害怕打针，所以当她满不在乎地用她的工具当起 “医生”时，我用尽我所有力气不去看，如果我发现任何东西让我想起了针，我会崩溃 ...... 千真万确。Ava是我所见过最甜，最纯洁善良的小女孩......我对这点无法强调的 足够。无论是她自然的笑容，可爱的电邮内容，令人惊讶的困难笑话或好客（当我们在西 雅图拜访她时，她给了我完整的选项菜单，并准备所有我要求的食物/饮料）。每位遇见 她的人都会立刻感受到她的个性和喜悦。我很难获得喜乐，因为我经常让我的际遇成为自 己沉重的负担，但是和Ava的互动让我想起了纯粹的喜乐。 Ava的观点也鼓励了我。这段时间，我在一天结束时埋怨来自五对五训练导致的新水泡， 引起我反感的电邮，我投篮不顺的训练，又或应该是晴空万里阳光明媚的帕罗奥图但却乌 云遮天时。但是，当我为Ava祷告时，当我读到Esther（Ava的母亲）的博客时，或者当我 偶然看见我手机里她的照片时，一切都会改变。Ava和她的家人没有奢侈的时间，舒适或 确定性。每个逝去的时刻都需要珍惜，每一天都不能浪费。他们所做的每件事都一定会有 个永恒的，属天的观点。因为他们的眼里凝视着死亡，并且不能保证有明天。上帝放在他 们身上的炼火比我所经历的还要热上100倍，这就是为何我不断的被激励。Ava孩子般的信 心和坚持下去的力量鼓励了我。Esther的博客让我对人生有个全新的思考方式。这就像一 些大卫的诗篇，他们以最原始的发泄，愤怒或高兴的情感开始，但在重新获得力量以及对 耶稣的盼望中结束。 今天，我在Chipotle餐馆享用（惊喜的）午餐时，我的训练师谈到他自西雅图後，如何每 天早上为Ava祷告，并且为他的一天重新审视自己的心/态度。Ava感动了非常多人的生命 ，上帝在工作，即使是在"幽谷"中。这也是为何她影响我超过她所知道，她对我所做的比 我为她做的还要多。 但是在一天结束时，这不是关於我，也不是关於Ava。我们所领受的呼召和我们的生命都 是指向一位真正的救主。没有人会知道这个故事最终的结局是如何，但是Ava和他的家人 继续奋斗。每一天他们奋斗，耶稣的荣耀就彰显了。每一个他们克服的障碍都影响着他的 国度。我观察到一件事，就是这个家庭被真实的失败感和恐惧感而屈服，但是上帝不曾离 开他们。当他们跌倒时祂扶他们起来，他们软弱时祂赐下力量。这就是生命，这就是上帝 。Ava的生命充满了上帝（的同在），这就是为何我不能再保持沉默。 有关Ava的最新消息请关注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.
