New Hot Pot Place!

I was up early and did go for a run after Isaiah and Fenny left for their trip to WuLin. Alan went to play tennis.

We set to leave the house at 10:30 to help a couple to get to the HSR with all their stuff. They are the ones living in the Danhsui House! We also wanted to treat them to lunch, so we stopped at a Hot Pot Place that we've been wanting to try and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious but we weren't able to enjoy all the food since we had to rush to the HSR.

I was able to go with them to the platform and help them get on the HSR before coming back up and waited for Alan to pick me up. We were going to go to the Travel Expo but we went around several times and could not find parking. So, we headed home. We did not get home until after 4:30. 

We had a nice free evening and I was too full to eat!

How did the day fly by so quickly?

Quite A Date Day!

I was up early and now that the weather is cooler, I can go back to sleep and run later in the morning. So, I went and ran 10K at 8:50! 

Alan and I had wanted to head out at around 10:15. We had a lot of do... We went to the church to pick up the plants. We then went to Coco and bought the drinks and then to a Cantonese Restaurant and bought lunch. We headed to the old house. I cleaned while Alan ate. Then he measured the back to make sure the dryer would fit. I also got two check ins and two carry ons to give way. 

We were back in our car, heading home. It was already 2pm. He went to drop off the suitcases while I went to meet up for prayer and then tutoring!

The dryer delivery was done at around 5pm and then Alan went to pick up the last load of Fenny's stuff and then dropped everything off at the old house. They all came over for dinner. I had made mashed potatoes and chicken curry!

At 9pm, we had family time!

The weekend has started and if it's anything like today, it's going to be a busy one!

Sabbath: A Delight!

 I was up early... and I just wake up now... I love it. I didn't go out for my run... No rush... It's my Sabbath!

Alan and Isaiah took off and I settled on the sofa to read, Heaven, Chapters 16-17! And I then ate a great breakfast... with freshly brewed coffee. The couple who came last night gifted me with more flavored Starbucks coffee pods... WOW... I was back on the sofa reading... and I also worked on putting things away.

At 12:45, I got all the chairs up and started the iRobot and got ready for my run. I ran 11K and after a quick shower, I sat and checked my emails and read some more!

At 5pm, I went and checked the recycling before going to my two hour massage! WOW!

I was home and made some hamburger patties for dinner. I ate a salad and watched the Rookie. Alan came home and had two cheeseburgers and we had the chance to talk with Abby. She is thinking about going for seminary in São Paulo.

God's Sustaining Strength!

I was up early and went out for my run after I got the recycling cleared and the truck came to take everything. The reason was the janitor was gone and the day time security guard did nothing!

I ran 12KM because I missed 2KM yesterday! I got home, took a quick shower, ate lunch and took off. I wanted to be at school by 12:30 as the flea market was going on. I gave out money to my students and then shopped. I spent 210NT$. 

The study was great... five students! And then I was off to tutor. The weather got cold and riding back home was chilly!

Alan was home and yes, he bought his tickets last night. He's going to the states from August 4th to September 11th. He also got Isaiah's tickets. YIPPY! His ticket was only 816US$! ROUND TRIP!

At 7pm, the couple came over and we had a great time going through some 'issues' to help build their marriage relationship. When they left, I cleaned up the kitchen and did a load of laundry!

Yes, it was great to head off to bed!

Almost Triple Bible Study Day!

It's true... 

I was up super early... I like it... It's so nice and quiet. But I didn't go out for a run until it was 8:30, which meant I only had time to run for 8KM. It was already quite warm.

I rushed off to my Bible study, forgetting the food in the fridge. So on the way, I bought these veggie buns and soybean milk. I had brought empty containers to return to church, so that worked out perfectly.

Six gals came... And it was a great time of sharing. I always enjoy our study. We also had our new booklet ready! They turned out beautifully!

I was on my way home by 2pm and stopped at the post office to deposit the money as Annie sent money to Nepal. What a waste of time that was trying to do it through the bank here in Taiwan!

We still have plenty of food, so no need to cook. But I had to bake for my Bible study tomorrow. And I will have to be at Soochow early as the church has their annual flea market event.

I was going to have my Tuesday evening Bible study at 7pm and scooter home at 8:30 as I had somehow scheduled my online Bible study to be at 9pm. BUT the gal who was set to lead tonight couldn't make it. So we cancelled and I tutored at 7pm. At 9pm, I had my online Bible. So, it was ALMOST A TRIPLE BIBLE STUDY DAY! 

Both Alan and I were hunting for cheap tickets. So far I haven't purchased anything. Maybe tomorrow...

WHAT A MONDAY?

I was up early as I knew that Alan and Isaiah were going to be up by 5am. So, I was up before 4am! NICE!

I didn't go for a run until everyone left for their work.

I took down the clothes and just had a leisurely morning, leaving at 9:30 for my run! After getting home, I decided to trim my hair. NICE!

Then at 12:48, I headed out... I had several things that I was hoping to get done. I had a box to mail to Corenne's granddaughter, Genesis. But first, I wanted to donate money to Nepal. I stopped at the bank and found out that I needed my ID card. So off I went to pick that up and went back to the bank. Three hours later, the money still was not transferred. I left and went and mailed the box. I was home by around 4:50 and put together a salad as I was really hungry!

Isaiah had basketball.

Alan came home and we watched the Rookie together.

I blogged, checked emails and worked on church stuff!

The day flew by... 

Keep praying for the church situation.

What A Sunday!

I was up early and had time to get a few things done. I went to get money and went to see the last hour of the 24HR ultra at Soochow University!

I was back home and fell asleep... and God woke me up as I had an appointment to pay the cement guy. I was 15 minutes late. 

When that was finished, I rushed over to church for the Young Adults Service! The time flew by and after getting things cleaned up, I had tutoring at 1:30. That hour flew by. May was there early to set up, so that was great!

The testimonies were great... And Abby finished her first half marathon with a time of 2:33:56! Then we had another bomb dropped. The gal who we worked so hard to get hired told us that she wants to resign and go 'work' with the pastor who is incubating his 'new' ministry. What a shock! Then another couple lined our worship leader and said that they will no longer be serving, starting effectively on December 1st. So, please keep praying for our church. May there be no more land mines...

I got hoe at 9pm and had prayer time with a sister!

I put everything away and ate a small dinner and blogged. 

It was great to head to bed!
