Monday Sabbath!

I was up at 3am and I just keep rejoicing that God is waking me up!

I did go out for my 10K jog and I love spending that time in prayer and sermon prep as I go over things in my head.

I was back and ready for a shower.

I set today as my Sabbath because I will be teaching all week... for these next two weeks. The Intensive TOEFL class at Soochow University. I have 10 students from Japan and one assistant. It is a lot of work!

So... this morning, I had a nice breakfast. I got Isaiah up and he left. I then settled to read. At 12noon, I headed out to run a few errands, including dropping off 7 mugs at the church and a large bag of donation to this guy at the traditional market. He takes things, no questions asked, and sells them for money! I think that's the way he makes a living! I also dropped off books for donation at the library and came home.

I made a delicious lunch and decided to read some more. I also reorganized my entire talk for this Sunday. Very interesting! Please pray for my sermon prep!

At 5pm, I baked for tomorrow's class! Banana bread! It made the house smell so good!

Isaiah came home at 7pm. We had lots for him to eat for his dinner. I had a salad!

And yes, I have continued in my dialogue with our pastor. Keep praying... Alan and I want to preserve love and unity while ensuring Biblical truth and practices!
