Double Duty Sunday

I was up and glad to have my time with God... Always the highlight of my day!

Then I got ready for my morning service... and left at 10am, first checking the recycling. And a guy came to pick up a suitcase that I got for him. He is traveling back to Africa!

I arrived early and it was just nice to sit and listen as the worship team was practicing. At the start of the service, there were only like 5 people, but as I stepped up to share, there were about 25 people... A newcomer was sitting behind me and I felt led to pray with her after the service. And then I stayed to chat with another sister... 

I didn't get home until almost 2pm. After putting things away and packing things to bring, I ate lunch and laid down for 15 minutes before it was time to head out again.

Again, at the beginning of the service there were about eight people, but by the end of the service we had about 27 people... 

I spoke at both services... and the day just flew by. I had to minister after the evening service as well... a couple needed help. 

I finally got home at 8:30... Alan was already in bed... 

The week looks so much better...

Another Busy Day!

I was up and went out late... so it was quite hot... but I finished the week with 53KM! WOW!

After a shower, I started cooking for our gathering... I had planned a menu... for 20 people... 

I had tutoring at 11am and that went long.

When I came back, I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up the cooking... Mashed potatoes, crock pot chicken, salad, dip, dessert...

We left at 5:10 and set up the church.

We didn't have 20 people... but it was a wonderful evening.

We cleaned up and came home and I spent more time cleaning up and putting things away.

Sleep felt so good...

MOE Day!

I was up early and went out for my 8KM. 

I was home and after a shower, I got all my stuff together... I looked like a bag lady... and took off for work! 

The ride was actually quite nice. I must remember to leave at 8:15 every Friday. 

I was at work by 8:45 and set up my table... NICE!

Nothing to edit... and no students... so I worked on the stuff I had brought. I even had time to read a couple of books and of course, catch up on the news.

At 5:05 I left and stopped to pay for a bill... and then went to tutor at 6pm. At the store that I stopped to pay for a bill, I took a few minutes to look at their splendid foreign goodies... That's the great thing about coming down to this part of town for work... there are stores nearby to shop at... 

Tutoring went well... and Alan had gone to Costco... so I asked him to buy Romaine Lettuce... PRICEY... but hey... 

Prayer time at 8:45 and the day had come to an end...

PR Day!

I was up and went and ran 8km... and yes, it was hot... 

Then it was home... 

Isaiah went off to work... and I took a shower and made myself some delicious breakfast!

I read and napped and prepped... 

At 3:15, I went down and did the recycling before going to tutor. 

I tutored from 4-5:30 and again from 6-8:25... I was home for the prayer time at 8:45.

I blogged and prepped for tomorrow as I will be at the MOE and then tutoring from 6-8... so it's going to be a long day!

A Very Long & Productive Day

I was up early and went for my 8km after time with Jesus...

After Isaiah took off, I took a shower and trimmed my hair. I will do a bit more tomorrow.

Then it was time to go down to take care of the recycling. Everything was taken! 

I got back home and ate a delicious breakfast and then took a quick nap.

I had a meeting at 1:30, but I had errands to run and things to donate, so I left at 12noon: books to the library, pots and pans to the old guy to sell... Alan took the old lap tops and got 300NT$. He also brought more books which I am leaving at the church. The meeting went well and I had tutoring at 2pm. That went well... and I had time to get home to drop off things before going to tutor from 4-7pm.

I was home by 7:30 and Alan and I watched the movie, All Saints, stopping for prayer time at 8:45.

I blogged and was so ready for bed... but I wanted to get a load of laundry done and get myself organized for tomorrow's tutoring...

The day flew by!

A Much Needed Day of Recovery

I was up and did go out for my 8km. It was better than yesterday... there was a slight breeze...

I got back and after sending Isaiah off to work, I took a quick shower and got started on a few easy projects. A very large pile is gathering for my sister, Annie... I don't know how Alan and Isaiah can bring everything back... (Yes, Annie, you read that correctly and I haven't even bought more pineapple cakes or tissue packets!)

In less than 90 minutes, I was feeling quite tired, so I went and took a nap... two hours flew by!

I was up and started on more projects: prep for the week! I had a few things to make copies and I wanted to update our postal passbooks... Well... Alan came home and he wanted to go get CoCo, so I sent him off to get those tasks done! YEAH... It was so hot outside that I didn't want to be outdoors.

I continued with prep... and felt tired... so... yes... I took another nap: almost 90 minutes flew by... Wow... 

Getting up, I noticed that the clouds have come... rain was soon to follow... I used the rest of the time before tutoring to finish up my prep and blog for church... 

Tonight I had prayer at 8:45 and online study at 9pm.

A Very Long Monday

I knew it was going to be a busy week... sure enough...

The run was not pleasant as it was hot and humid and muggy...

But I ran my 8km and was so glad to be back home...

I had been given a whole box of clothes and I sorted through that box after I took a shower and Isaiah took off for work. Alan had already gone to play tennis.

There were some very nice items... I posted them in the Buy Nothing group and someone will come for them tomorrow.

I then had breakfast and took a nap before starting to prep for my tutoring.

I left at 1pm as I had two errands to run before meeting friends for coffee at 2:30.

Tutoring was at 4pm and that went until 5:45 and I scootered over to my next tutoring which went from 6-8pm. I went a little over and got home by 8:25. I checked the recycling again and came up for prayer at 8:45. 

I had made a nice big salad before leaving so that was what I enjoyed for dinner!

I blogged for church and wrote this blog... and put away everything and headed off to bed by 11:30...

Yes, it was a very long Monday... God sustained me!
