A Change...

I was up but not too early... And after my time with Jesus, I started to cook as I wanted to make tamale chicken. 

I went out for my run but the sun was out in full blast... so, what's the change? I've decided to just run an hour... if I make 9k, great... if not... that's ok... when I go to Germany, I'll give myself more time to run... the weather is going to be much cooler... unlike Taipei now!

I was home and Isaiah called to ask about the gas meter... I had to rush as I was set to meet up with a sister at 11am at church. I was 15 minutes late!

Then at 1:30, I went to drop off sheets and pillowcases to the person who is now staying at our old house and two water filter replacements. And then I headed to tutoring... 

That hour flew by and when I got home, there were five bags of nice bedding to sort through... wow... 

Another friend came over to chat... and then we had Prayer Time in person at 8pm and online Bible study at 9pm. I stayed at church and did the online Bible study... 

I guess my days have not slowed down! Tomorrow... for sure... I am going to have my PR Day!

The Weekend Is Finished!

I was up not so early as I went to bed late last night... 

And after time with Jesus, I had lots to do... I wanted to clean the washing machine... and get Isaiah's closet 'reset' and look over my closet to change season... plus clothes to pack for my trip... And I also wanted to bake for church... So... the morning flew by... LITERALLY!

By 2:30, I was out the door... 

It's great being with my Church Family... 

I was home by 8pm and finished up the tasks that I had started this morning.

Prayer time at 9pm and then blog and I was truly ready for bed by 10... but I wanted to get things ready for tomorrow...

A Even Longer Saturday!

If you thought Friday was a lot... READ ON!

I was up early and knew that the day was going to be LONG...

I dropped off more stuff at our friend's house, but I'm not sure if these people will be staying there. I'm just getting it sort of set up and we will wait and see... I did go run... but only 6K!

 Then I had tutoring at 11:15 to 12:15.

When I got home, the boys were almost ready to head out... and that's what we did! We went over to our old house and started moving Fenny... and she had a lot of stuff. Isaiah and Fenny went up and down and I went to move things into the car and Alan packed everything in. We also had two scooters which we put two small carry on suitcases and a gym bag! That was amazing.

Alan drove and Isaiah took Fenny and I took Fenny's scooter! We got over there and started to unload... when that was finished, we packed up Erica's stuff to bring over to the old house! Now... the amazing thing was: when we were riding or driving, it was raining... but when we had to move stuff, the rain stopped! WOW... miraculous!

We got Erica familiar with the area and we came home.

I again checked the recycling and the lady came and picked up stuff! WOW...

At 5:20, we headed out for our Marriage Builders Date Night! Isaiah had taken Alan's scooter so we had to find the extra key to Isaiah's scooter... 

Cantonese food and then bowling... Wow... what fun! We didn't finish until 9:30... and got home by 10PM... 

Isaiah had gone to basketball practice for the Company's Three-on-Three tournament that's coming up.

Wow... it was a go, go, go day...

Tomorrow is going to be much slower pace...

A Very Long Friday!

I was up early and knew that today and tomorrow will both be very long days...

I did run... Only 8KM... 

And then we went out to meet some friends for lunch... After that we went to the travel exhibition and didn't see much but we bought four breakfast buffet coupons for the Renaissance Hotel. That's only because we've passed by it several times and wonder what it was like inside!

We got home and I put things away and checked the recycling while Alan took a Power Nap. At 4:05, we were off to Danhsui. We got there by 5:05 and I started cleaning... I was finished by 5:58 and Alan, who was napping in the car, drove up and we loaded things into the car and headed to church. We went to pick up the keyboards that we are giving away for the church. The lady is coming to pick them up tomorrow.

We got home at 7:40 and Isaiah came down to help us unload!

We sat down to have dinner and then I worked to sort everything and then had prayer time at 8:45!

By 10pm, I was exhausted but took one load of things to give away and another load to our friend's house next door as we're setting it up for a short term stay in May. I will be gone... so I have to get it done now! And I heard from the Ministry of Education. They liked for me to work two days a week there... but I said, "No thanks... I will only help with one day a week." This is going to start in July! Wow... That was a big surprise!

11pm came all too quickly... 

Tomorrow... it's going to be another busy day!!!!!!!!

I Ran Again...

I was up early and decided to go out early... but actually, the weather stayed relatively nice throughout the day... cloudy and cooler!

I was home and after a nice shower, I made rice noodles for my meals... and sat myself down on the sofa with a stack of books and read.

Alan and Isaiah had left for work!

I finished the book Living the Resurrection and started on two more! And yes, I ate my delicious rice noodles for breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack! WOW... fabulous!

At 4pm, I prepped for tutoring and headed out at 5pm.

When that was finished, I was home by 7:30! And yes... more rice noodles!

Alan and Isaiah played basketball!

Abby has recovered... and she attended her second online seminary class... We have yet to set up our Family Time...

I Did Run...

It's already Wednesday... and I am feeling much better.

So, after helping with the recycling, I scooter to the park and ran... My legs were like: What are you doing? They seemed to have forgotten how to run... everything felt very foreign... And it was hot... I ran 8K.

I got home and took a quick shower and headed out to tutor.

When that was finished, I rushed home and picked up everything for my Bible study. We had 10 people... Two kids didn't show up but it is the week before midterms. Next week we will just use the time to chat!

I went straight to my tutoring and when that was finished, I stopped at a convenience store before heading home. I was so glad that I didn't have my 6pm tutoring... I was exhausted!

I had a simple dinner and stayed up until prayer time at 8:45 and then went to bed!

It's Tuesday... And It Was A Busy One...

I was up early... but I didn't go for a run... I am still recovering...

I made the food for the morning Bible study and baked... for tomorrow's Soochow Study!

I decided to go to church early... that worked out well...

I slowly set up and sat down and did a blog for church!

We had five people at the study and it was great... the discussion and the sharing!

We didn't finish until 1:40! I scootered home... put things away and was off again. I had an appointment to counsel someone at 3pm.

The time flew by... and I hope the time was helpful for her... 

I scootered home and arrived at 6:45 and got the computer turned on and running... and tutored online until 8:05!

The rest of the evening flew by... 

I didn't hit publish as I wanted to update you on the flight situation... 

Tonight, I finally decided to take the plunge and call the long distance number via my land line to Florida USA, which is where GOTOGATE seems to be located. It was around 8:30pm Taiwan time... and when our church prayer time started, I was still in the cue to talk to someone. Finally, a real person came on. I moved to the bedroom as Alan was still in the online prayer call... After another 45 minutes, a request was put forth for me to be on a flight from Taipei to Beijing and Beijing to Frankfurt on May 3rd and May 4th, arriving in Frankfurt on the morning of the 4th! That's two days earlier... so... I think the Lord has something planned... of what, I do not yet know... What will I do? Where will I stay? Those are all questions... but I'll be in Germany... I am thrilled... I will roam... and see what the Lord has prepared... I will start looking for lodging... but anything will be fine with me!
