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!

A Slower Wednesday!

I was up and it was so good to not have a packed day like what we did yesterday... 

I went down to help the recycling and they could NOT take everything! In fact, they weren't happy with our sorting... we didn't do a thorough enough job!?!?!?!

I went for a run and the weather was perfect: cloudy and chilly!

After a quick shower, I rested. 

Alan had gone to see the doctor. His leg is healing... slowly!

I made chicken and rice... and it turned out so good.

At 5pm, I headed out and there were more things to give away. The neighbor came up to me and said that he is renovating his apartment... he has a lot of nice stuff to give away! I did make it to get the battery replaced and another watch set! These were watched that I found in the recycling! They are super nice watches!

Tutoring went well... and I was home by 7:30. Prayer time with a gal... then at 8:45, it was prayer time with church friends!

Alan and I had dinner at 9pm and the chicken and rice turned out beautifully!

I sorted through things and posted things and it was already 11pm! Sleep did not happen until after 12midnight... what started as a slower Wednesday became much busier than I had hoped or planned!

Tragedy! Read On!

I was up early and enjoyed the time... reading and reflecting...

I then packed Isaiah's lunch and cleaned out my pens and pencils. I hate picking up a pen that is out of ink! I tossed about 20!

Then, it was time to go for a run and there were still clouds in the skies.

I got back at the same time as Alan and I rushed in to take a shower. When I finished, it was Alan's turn. But without looking, I sat on the bed to get dressed and heard a crack! TRAGEDY! I sat on my own glasses and the frame broke! NOOOOOO...

I had to put on contacts and off we went!

We had loaded up the car and headed to Isaiah's 'place' and I found a place... the same as the one I go to in Neihu. I looked at a bunch of frames... 1380... 2680... I asked for a cheaper one... 600! The last one... OK... the colors are quite bizarre... but hey... who cares? They are comfortable and light and my lenses fit! We left to go to get Coco and lunch while they got the glasses ready!

I set the stuff we brought and the place is ready for the guest who is coming on March 13th. She can use the Brita Water Filters... so no rush for the water filtration system to be changed!

We then ventured to Danhsui over a new route... and got there quite smoothly! Oh... we picked up my glasses... Yes, they are weird! 

In Danhsui, the YWAM group is down in Kaohsiung, but they have a lot of stuff in there... I dropped off the items and we headed back. They will be back on Friday... I wonder how much time they will have to clean...???

We were home before 5pm and... people left some nice stuff on Alan's scooter for me! I will post and give away! I also found three NICE watches in the recycling! WOW!

One guy came and picked up one bunch already... another lady is set to come this evening as well.

And people are interested in my friend's apartment next door! YEAH... I set them up to come on Thursday to see the place!

I had tutoring at 7pm and then prayer time at 8:45!

The day flew by!

A Balanced Monday!

I was up early and it felt good that I only had tutoring at 2pm plus prayer time at 4pm, going over to a friend's house at 5:30, Prayer Time at 8:45 and Family Time at 9pm.

So... I went for a run after Alan and Isaiah left! And it was hot!

I had things to give away... of course... and I took a morning Power Nap, ate lunch and headed out. 

I first stopped at the old house and dropped off a few things to get that completed and went to tutor. The hour flew by. I went over time and arrived home just in time to tutor. I was going to stop and get some coffee packets, but didn't!

After I finished prayer time, I walked over to my friend's apartment. I'm helping them find renters. 

When I got back, Alan was already home and having dinner!

This evening we had Family Time... YEAH!

A Full Sunday!

Yes, up early... and walked down for soy bean milk and bread, trying to get my steps in.

I came back and rested and then headed out to church. The Young Adults' Fellowship... 

I then walked over to our old house and put the dish towels that I had washed. I rested there and then biked back to church for tutoring.

The hour went by fast... 

I was the speaker this afternoon...

We had pizza for Love Feast... and lots of snacks! It was great to gather together as a church family!

I helped with clean up and came back home and the recycling area was piled so high... I had checked in the morning at 10:30... and now... just 10 hours later... you cannot imagine how high things got. It took me almost 45 minutes to finish up.

I was home and it took another hour to get things put away... and I brought up more stuff to give away!

After prayer time, I was ready for bed... 

I was exhausted!
