A Go-Go-Go Wednesday

I was up super early and did go for a run... the weather was nice and I kept telling my legs to slow down. I was planning to just go for 5... then my legs went for 7... and I had to finally stop them at 9k.

I was home for Mom Care and then did the recycling!

I had planned to donate blood... and I had to ride all the way down to the southern part of Taipei and the line was so long! I finally finished at 12:30 and rode home for lunch before going for my dentist appointment. I had scheduled for my teeth to be cleaned.

I was home and got things ready for Mom's dinner as the helper was scheduled to come and after a short nap, I was off to tutor!

I was back home just two minutes before he was scheduled to leave!

And after Mom went to bed, I had my Revelation Study!

What a great verse for today... for any day...

Taxes Done... Bible Study Day!

It was an early morning and it was sad that I didn't go out for a run as the weather was perfect. There was thundering in the early morning! AND RAIN!

After Mom left, I took off for the tax office to help Abby and Isaiah get their taxes done. But it turned out Isaiah couldn't go into to add his donation because the sum was not big enough to make a difference and Abby couldn't get in because her earning was too low to report! I learned a lot today! I wrote down a few notes to remind me next year!

The gals were here just one minute before I got home! Thank you, Jesus. I had the coffee made and everything set up. We had a great Bible study! The lunch menu was mozzarella sticks, panko breaded shrimps and chicken nuggets! One gal brought fruit and another brought bread pudding! YUMMY!

I cleaned up and took a nap before tutoring at 3:30! I was going to go out to buy soy bean milk, but I decided that the nap was more beneficial for my health! It was a wise decision!

When the tutoring ended, I walked down for soy. bean milk! YEAH!

Mom was home right on time... I had her dinner ready!

This evening, Isaiah had basketball and Alan had his evening class, so I went out for another walk! The evening weather was delightful!

Perhaps by tomorrow, I will be able to go for a run!

No Run Day... Recovery Day... Catch Up Day...

My back is 'off'... I had to take two Advils and wear a waist belt... and it was a hot day!

I used the morning to catch up... I again realized that I don't have weekends... Each weekend is busy! So, Monday tends to be a catch up day, such as taking down the clean clothes, sending the iRobot to mop the floor,  putting things away that have gathered! I also went to Costco to buy milk and other things. Tomorrow is our Bible study, so I will make lunch for them. Then I went to WGE to walk... and on the way, there was a down pour! WOW! In less than 3 minutes (the time I needed to get my rain coat on) I was drenched! I went to WGE and took a shower first! Then I put all the wet clothes in the dry sauna and used the blow dryer! Fairly efficient! I did a walk and went home! No run because of my back!

The crock pot dinner tasted fantastic! YEAH!

I will make more for the Bible study gals!

I had prayer time at 4pm and then this evening, Family Time!

My Back Is "Off"!

Yup... I will definitely go for a massage tomorrow... 

I walked on the dreadmill for an hour... and took a nice long shower at WGE. 

Then it was home for Mom Care. I really need to be careful. Dealing with her BM yesterday was what got my back 'off', as I was trying to maneuver myself in our small bathroom! AIYO!

I share today and I was feeling so tired. So, it was the Holy Spirit!

We had a great love feast and after helping out with clean up, we were home by 8pm. Someone dropped off more stuff for donation. I sorted and will give most of it to be shipped to the Philippines!

I was so ready for bed tonight!

John 14:26

Bring to remembrance all things that I said to you... like what things?

Prayer Bike Ride!

I was up early, but did not go for a run until this evening!

We had our second prayer walk, but this time, it was a prayer ride!

When we got back to church, there was a delicious spread of McDonald's breakfast items! I had to rush home for Mom Care!

While Mom was eating breakfast, I did a load of laundry. Isaiah went to meet up with his friend. They are spending a lot of time together!

I also posted lots of things for people to pick up. Yes, I am still sorting through the items that were given! What a labor of service!

Productive and Exhausting

I was out for my run... 9k... muggy... but at least not the heat!

I got Mom up and off and then helped with the complex.

Alan came home early as he couldn't play tennis... it was sprinkling! So, we were able to leave early to the tax office. We filed our taxes and will be receiving a refund! THANK YOU, JESUS!

Then we went to lunch at Campus Cafe as I had three coupons -- 100NT$ off for every 300NT$. So, we ordered three items... Alan was very hungry!

We then headed home as we didn't have time to pray this morning, our usual prayer time together! We also needed to switch and drive to help out a friend. This couple are planning to move back to the States. They are starting now to declutter. That was a good idea. They packed up our car and we came home and I used the rest of the afternoon and evening, sorting and posting! What a labor of love! I still have lots to give away!

Isaiah went to watch a baseball game -- Fubon Bank against Taiwan Steel! 

Daily Lovely Insight:

Reading the book, Quiet Talks on Power, by S.D. Gordon, he asked a very thought provoking question:

What is the motive that controls me in this? 

'This' means every area of our lives: such as what we eat and how, our drinking or other things we put into our mouth, our dress, the use and care of our body, our recreations, our reading, our conversation, our use of money, our use of time, our life plans and daily plans, our social engagements... 

I sat yesterday, just thinking... Am I living fully to please God or self?

If you can, get a copy of S.D. Gordon's Quiet Talks books... I'd like to get a copy of Quiet Talks on Prayer! He wrote 26 books and 22 of them are part of the Quiet Talks series...

You Shall Find Rest for Your Soul...

I fit in my 9k this morning before getting Mom up and out... It's always a matter of faith and prayer!

Then, I was down at the recycling area to make sure our complex janitor was on task and of course, he wasn't! I also had to go into the 'storage' room to box up some materials which I hope can be tossed.

By 10am, I was back at home and since the gardeners were here, the noise was bothering me. I decided to go over to WGE to shower and do a quick workout! I put the rice and corn and butter to cook. Popped some panko breaded shrimp into the new air fryer. Waited until everything was ready. And while I waited, I finished up the ppt and my talk notes and sent those off!

It was so nice to shower and do a fast workout.

When I got back, it was their lunch break. I first ordered and paid for Alan's HSR tickets to Taichung next Saturday. He's going down there to judge the national debate contest. When that was done, I sat and read. Delightful!

At around 3pm, I napped... and of course, I couldn't napped for long as Mom was due to be back! The food was ready... that was fantastic. And it was very delicious!

Isaiah had dinner plans with his colleague as one guy is quitting to return to his hometown to care for his grandmother! Tomorrow night he will go to a baseball game! His wound is healing up nicely!

Alan had basketball tonight! And he had his last debate class as the seniors finish earlier!

I can't believe it's already the end of another school year... 

Daily Lovely Insight:

Reading II Sam. 24 and I Chron. 21, I thought, what's going on? Same event but had a few different details... So, I found out why... Always interesting, God's word!

You can discover the reasons for yourself!
