Time Grew Wings...

I was up early and went out for my 9k as I saw the weather report... HOT!

I did a load of laundry before heading out.

After Mom left, I called and Ms. Hsieh had time. I went over to get a massage. But when I went down to the scooter, the cleaning guy had 'finished' sorting through the recycling. He came to work at 8am and it was 9:11 and the recycling was still a mess! I had to walk him through the task, which made me late for my appointment!

Those 90 minutes flew by. I scootered home as I had to prep for my tutoring and work on my ppt and my Wednesday study!

Tutoring went well. I stopped at WGE and also stopped to buy soy bean milk before heading home. 

Yes, it was already time for Mom to be back!

Tonight, we had Family Time...

What A Sunday!

Yes, I was up early and headed out as I went over to help a friend with her newly purchased home. This time, it was the inspection! Well... the bathroom sliding door is a NO WAY... that bathroom is so small and they had things in place that made it impossible to install a glass door between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. We are figuring out a few ideas!

I stopped at WGE and did a dreadmill work before taking a shower and heading home!

Mom care... and did a few housework!

We headed out for church at 2:15 as we always help with set-up as well as clean-up after the service.

After Mom went to bed, I blogged and got ready for the week...

Today's message was on Thomas... so... the question is: why wasn't Thomas there when Jesus showed up? He was one of the disciples and gathered with them... so why wasn't he there?

What do you think?

Perhaps that will give you new insights as you read about his request and unbelief!

The Day Flew By

I was up early... and went out at 7:45 for my run! I am trying to run less, but run faster. So, I was able to do 10k in 63 minutes! A year ago, I was able to run 10k in 58 minutes! I have not been training for running faster, but I think I'll start again!

I went to WGE and took a fast shower. I also stopped to buy bread.

Mom Care!

Isaiah went to his small group and then to a Fubon Bank Event. For the rest of the afternoon and evening, he met up with a friend!

I had counseling at 2:30 and then we went over to help babysit for a couple so that they can go on for a date! I truly enjoy serving in this way. I pray as I care for the sweet baby and I help to tidy up the house! The three hours flew by.

A Great Date!

I ran early as the weather says that it was going to be hot... 

After Mom went off to the Day Care, I started to tidy up the room as I had to change the sheet!

Alan came home early... what a nice surprise, so we were off earlier than planned!

I had heard about Keelung Harbor Night Market, which has a few famous food stalls. These stalls are opened by 11am.  We bought three sandwiches, 15 mini sausages, super sized bubble milk tea in several flavors, then ate at an outdoor mall, looking at Keelung Harbor.

After lunch, we found a traditional acupressure massage place and enjoyed two hours of bliss. Alan was snoring!

We strolled back to the night market and found fried onion cakes... they were so delicious. We finished them on the drive home! Alan stopped at WGE and I did a quick workout before going home.

We will definitely go back to Keelung again... maybe when Abby is back in Taiwan!

2 Samuel 17:23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed,  he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his  affairs in order

This advisor had a real problem... he put his identity and worth all on how people valued his counsel. And when that failed... You can read what he did!

What does this say to you about where you should put your worth and identity?

Another Delightful Sabbath!

I was up early and the weather was cool... which meant I didn't have to go out right after my time with Jesus.

I went for a run after Mom left for the Day Care Center. 9km in less than an hour... the weather was nice!

I decided to trim my hair and took a shower at home, then I went to RT Mart... The 14th floor is remodeling their bathrooms and the noise was a bit disturbing. So, I scootered over and had lunch there and bought a few items. I even stopped at Costco and bought milk. We were running low. So, I won't have to go this weekend! YEAH!

I was home and took a nap. I was going to go to WGE but decided just to sit and read. The pounding had stopped. So, I guess they have finished taking off the tiles and the toilet.

Alan came home to pick up basketball clothes for Isaiah. They will be at SooChow University.

Mom came home right on time. I had dinner ready!

I had to put her to bed before 7pm as we had our complex meeting at 7:30! I'm counting down the months... 

I made muffins for the board members with fresh whipped cream!

Bible Studying and Tutoring

I went out at around 9:15 for my 9k run and it was hot... but tomorrow is going to be great! And it's my PR Day!

I again helped with the recycling. I also baked, using the peels of the bananas and the muffins turned out very nicely! I also packed a suitcase full of stuff that I had accumulated for Abby! 

I left for my Bible study at 12:40 and we made s'mores... the students loved them! But they all said they were too sweet!

I came home to drop off things and to buy soy bean milk before going to tutor! The hour went by fast!

On the way home, I stopped at WGE for a quick workout! Alan was home to sign the paper for the helper. I came home at 6:45! I had such a nice dinner before putting Mom to bed. Then it was Bible study at 9pm.

Failed Mission!

I thought I could donate blood this afternoon. I found a blood mobile in Neihu and went there... but the staff said I had to wait two more weeks! I can't donate until May 27th! Darn it!

I was up early and did not go for a run until 8:45, after Mom took off. I had only an hour! When I got home, the sisters were early! I took my usual quick shower while everyone got something to drink! One sister brought papaya. Another sister brought scones with fresh whipped cream and jam! I had grilled ham and cheese, apple slices and chips! 

I had cancelled my after tutoring, thinking I'd be out donating blood. Instead, I spent the time finishing up the new study that we are going to start in September!

Mom was home and after she went to bed, I rushed off to my evening Bible study. We had a potluck as we finished another book after two and a half years!

We had such a feast!

I came home and baked a loaf of banana bread. I had watched this video about making banana bread with the banana peel... 

Tomorrow I will tell you how it tastes!
