Last Day of 2016!

We tried to squeeze so much into this last day of 2016!

We were off early, heading down to Taichung for a friend's wedding. On the way down, we were to pick up Theresa Liu from Hsinchu. Just when we were getting close to Hsinchu, the traffic got really congested. Oh no... at this rate, we'd be in Taichung by 12:30 and miss the whole wedding. I sent a message to our friends, asking for prayer. We got to Hsinchu by 8:47 and God did it. He parted the Red Sea of Traffic. We typed in our destination in Taichung and the time to get there -- one hour and 10 minutes. I wanted to get there by 9:50 so that we'd have time to sit and talk to the groom. Amazingly, we got there at 9:52, giving me almost 10 minutes.

After the service, we had to head straight back to Taipei. But, I had a chance to talk with several of the guests. And while filling up on some orange juice at the refreshment tables, I talked with another lady who had a heart palpitation problem and prayed with her. The traffic back up to Taipei was light... which was very unexpected. We were home by 3pm. I put things away and did a load of clothes. And with such perfect weather, I went for a last run in 2016. I had time to run 15 kilometers.

The kids had their own activities. Isaiah hung out with his teammates. Abby went with her classmates. Alan and I had dinner with James at Chili's.  After dinner, James went to meet up with his group and we went and hung out at Miramar. Alan couldn't stand for long even though the music was quite good this year.

We came back at 10:45 and watched TV before looking at the fantastic fireworks from both the Miramar and the Taipei 101 that started at 12 midnight right in our living room.

Happy New Year...

Seek Him First!
