Soochow Study Started Back!

I was up early... and went out early... and it was great! I need to get back to doing the early morning run!

Then I was baking for my Bible study and the assistant said that we had 12 people signed up for the study! Isaiah took off and I made these great banana marshmallow chocolate muffins! They were too sweet according to the students... ha, ha, ha...

I rested and took off at 12:45... and set up and it was so great to have so many students! The time flew by! I then rushed over to tutor my student and that went well... I was out and got home to grab my other bag for tutoring at 6pm. That went well... and I was home by 7:30... this is my new Wednesday schedule!

I came home and ate and blogged and had time to talk with a friend and then prayer time at 8:45 and Family Time at 9pm! 

Wow...

Cool Tuesday

I was up and I had to fit in my run as I had Bible study at 10am.

I was a bit late... but I got my run in and the weather was so fabulous... If I had time, I wanted to run and run and run! It was chilly and drizzling!

The study was great. The testimonies that were shared... wow... We went until 1pm!!!!!!!!!!!

Then Kathryn and I met to go over Sunday's message and I was off to meet up with a sister to give her the gift from the YWAM Team!

I finally got home at 3:15!

Alan was home and it was nice to have a free afternoon and evening! YIPPY!

I completed my study notes for next time... and prepped for my study at Soochow tomorrow!

I had lots of food in the fridge... so dinner was easy!

It was overall a very 'cool' Tuesday!

"FREE" Monday?

I was up early... and I had the day planned!

Since my tutoring cancelled, I had decided to scooter out to Danhsui.

After Alan and Isaiah left for work, I put the ground beef in the crock pot and went for my run. It was way too warm... and I was trying this pair of off-brand running shoes. NO CAN DO... I will give them away!

I took a quick shower and gathered up everything and took off.

First thing: I mailed the package for a friend.

Next: I updated our bank and post office passbooks.

Then... I took off to Danhsui. The ride was smooth and the YWAM Team did a fantastic job tidying up the place. I just had to put a few things back in order... but nothing major! The part that Alan painted had some peeling. I will have to buy or bring the water proof paint from the old house and treat it again. I also went to see the management person as it seems that by their records, I didn't pay the management fees. I got that cleared up and headed back towards Neihu.

I decided to stop for some veggies and fruits... and I was so glad I did... I bought a lot!

Once I was home, it was time to prep as I wanted to bring taco salad for the HOP Meeting and Prayer Gathering. I was feeling so tired... I got some done and then laid down for 30 minutes... it was worth it!

Alan came home and then we left together. Everyone enjoyed eating together... 

The meeting went well... and so did the prayer time. After I got home, I spent another hour or more to get the things put away and to pack up all the food that I had made. Now, what should I bring for the Bible study tomorrow?

People came to pick up stuff... I'm now down to just one bag that hasn't been picked up! The gal said she will for sure come by Wednesday. We shall see...

Sunday!

It was an usual Sunday!

I was up early... and went out for a nice walk... it was sprinkling but I love this weather!

I bought bread... picked up Alan's scooter cell phone rack! He's so happy! He will get the guy to install it for him!

I swept and put together the cookie dough... and I even had time for a nap.

I went to church early and set up... and then met with Kathryn to go over our talk on March 8th! It's going to be great!

Alan was the speaker this afternoon... 

And we had a small crowd again... But that's ok... it's family!

I came home at 8pm as I stayed to clean up and lock up... I'll be there Tuesday for Bible Study!

I got back home and ate dinner and had prayer time with the gal... every Sunday evening!

The day flew by...

228 Holiday!

I was up early and so was everyone else!

Alan and Isaiah went to play tennis... I had time with Jesus and then went for my run. The weather was splendid! I saw Alan on the way back 

I came home, took a shower and then went for a two hour massage! When that was done, I went and bought milk and bread! I won't need to do that tomorrow! I also dropped things off at church!

Isaiah went out with Fenny and hung out with a couple from church! 

Alan and I decided to have dumplings for dinner and we watched a Netflix movie! I also baked a loaf of raisin bread. It was one of those simple recipes and it turned out great. I'm going to try the same recipe with grated cheese next time!

The day flew by... 

It was very nice and simple! It was a PEACE DAY!

It's A Holiday!

I was up early... and had a lot planned as I had mentioned yesterday!

I went for my run... came home and showered and headed out not too long afterwards.

I drove to LinKou to visit a friend and she prepared a scrumptious meal... we also took a walk... and by 4:30, I had to rush off... I got back home by 5:15, and I did not get lost!

At 6:30, I convinced Alan and Isaiah to go with me in the car to Danhsui. I had to meet up with the YWAM group who arrived from Kaohsiung and was planning to take off to the airport at around 9pm as their flight is at 2am, 2/28! We took pictures and they stayed to clean up... and they had to leave the keys with the security guard as we had to take off back home. We stopped at the Danhsui Night Market to get some goodies and we ate in the car as I had prayer time at 8:45 and Bible study at 9:15!

What a rush around day!

Taking Time to Think!

I was up early... and today was my PR DAY!

I wanted to really use the time to think... 

When Mom was alive, my PR Day was truly a PR Day. I realized that I was more focused. My morning with then the run and focused choices throughout the day because I had to consider the care of my Mom... so it was easy to say NO and to 'run around' with purpose.

Since this September, life has been a bit more scattered... And today, I decided to be more intentional about being more focused... to have a PR Day as a PR DAY... to focus... to think... to rest... 

I consider my prayer... do I pray as a believer or do I pray like an unbeliever? What's my mindset? Approaching God as God or as another deity asking for more 'stuff'? Am I concern about His Kingdom or more distracted by the world around me? It was refreshing to sit and think... Not to come up with answers, but just to think. I also took the time to pray for people who are burdened or loaded down with lies. They live under these lies and cannot seem to see the Light of Jesus!

Alan was at school and then went to play basketball.

Isaiah was at work and went to watch a basketball game.

I had the house all to myself!

Yes... neighbors came to give me more stuff to give away!

And at 8pm, I went to show a couple the house that's for rent in the complex next to ours. I also went to put some items in the house and to spray certain areas with bleach! The previous tenant did 'clean' it but the grout needed bleaching!

I was home for prayer time at 8:45!

Tomorrow is a holiday... but I've got a lot planned... Saturday will be FREE!
