A Very Long Sunday!

Yes... it was a very long day... 

I was up early but didn't go out to walk. I wanted to get things ready as I was going to put a crock pot of ground chicken to make a chicken meat loaf for the Love Feast tonight.

I then decided to pack up things for donation as a neighbor moved and gifted me with lots of things! I also went and took a nap.

But at 8:45, I headed out! I dropped the stuff off at church and started the crock pot. I then headed over to our old house and Isaiah met me there. I had asked him to help me with getting all the furniture into place and stack up what I'd wanted to give away!

We worked so hard for an hour or so and got everything done. We were sweating so much!

He went back home and I went to buy veggies and fruit and to stop at the Toyota Dealership to pick up a battery pack!

We then went and tried to start the car... no can do... I called the Toyota people but because it's a Sunday, they couldn't send anyone over. It's free!

I put all the stuff away and packed up things to bring to church. I had to take a shower... and we took off at 2:20. I stopped to return the battery pack and got to church to help with set up! 

Tonight was testimony time... and it was great!

I stayed to chat and didn't get home until 8:15. Isaiah took Fenny home!

At 9pm, I had prayer time and I was so ready for bed when that was finished!

A Very Long Saturday!

I was up early and ran my 10K. I spent a bit more time with Jesus this morning... trying to speak calm and peace to my heart and mind. The run was good!

I was home and after a shower, I baked for the Women's Event!

I rested a bit and headed out.

Isaiah was still in bed!

I dropped off some props to a dear sister and then went to church to set up! 

We had 13 ladies and one gentleman who came to help with the set up of the hook-up to do the movie! Everything worked perfectly! The questions, the lunch, the popcorn and the movie and the sharing time!

After that event, I had asked a brother if he wanted to meet to pray together and he said YES! He actually came early and we spent time praying together and when that was finished, I headed home!

I had to put things away... and Isaiah said that Fenny and her sister, Cathy, are coming over and can I make dinner?!?!?! I wasn't expecting this... So... I got tilapia out and a can of clam chowder soup and put that in the oven and made a salad. I was so tired... I had to close my eyes for 5 minutes!

We played Rummique after dinner...

It's Friday!

I was up early... and went for my 10K and I had to really push myself. The heat is getting a bit unbearable even at 4:30 in the morning!

I was home and after a shower, I took a nap! So nice...

Isaiah took off and I went out too. I stopped to buy a bottle of Coca Cola and soybean milk. I was there early to set up and the time flew by. We had 'brunch' for our break and made grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. We had so much fun! I had them help me bring everything out to my scooter and one of the students took a picture of me on my scooter. I had two other bags hanging off on the other side!

I was home and cleaned up and put things away and was about to take a nap when Alan called. I turned on the WiFi and we talked for about an hour! So nice...

Since it was already like 3pm, I decided to stay home instead of going to the old house to move furniture and see what I can give away. It was nice just to be home! I didn't have to bake... I didn't have to prep for class.

I watched another episode of the Rookie on Netflix. I got Netflix because of my dear friend and sister in Christ... remember: she came over on Monday to set up my lap top so that I can watch the movie, Jesus Revolution, in preparation for tomorrow's Women's Event!

This evening, I was invited to dinner at the house of one of our church couples. They bought a new place right nearby, and they made water dumplings for me... WOW!

I just keep reciting this verse... The storm in my mind... Christ says: Peace, be still!

It's Thursday!

I can't believe it's Thursday already! Wow...

I was up early and ran slow... but steady and finished my 10K. Today... it felt difficult to move. The heat was different... 

I took a shower and took a nap and ate breakfast!

Isaiah was up and out and I left, checking the recycling area and then going to the local supermarket before going to school.

I had time to set up and get things started!

The three hours flew by... I made cheesy corn bread and they really liked it! I should have put more shredded cheese in the bread! And more butter on top!

I was home by 1:15, as I stopped again at the supermarket to buy more lettuce. I had chicken rice for lunch! Very yummy!

Then I prepped for tomorrow, but I didn't need to bake as we're going to have grilled ham and cheese sandwiches tomorrow... and the extension program will order bubble milk tea from 50Lan! I will also bring chips! It's our last class!

I had made a massage appointment for 3pm. But first I stopped at our old house to pick up the keys and to see what the place looks like... I also went to church to pick up these nice paper containers for our class and I dropped off some packages of tissues! 

This evening I had Bible study at 8:30. I was so ready for bed at 10pm.

Tomorrow is my last day of the TOEFL class! Wow...

The Busy Wednesday!

I was up early and out for my 10K... and I realized that this week will all be BUSY... 

I was home and after a shower, I ate two dragon fruits for breakfast, messaged people, and took a nap.

Isaiah was up and out and I took off right after him. I checked the recycling as pick up was today! And everything was taken... and it looks so nice and clean! YEAH!

I set up and made coffee, and wrote the plans for today and the kids arrived.

The three hours flew by and they enjoyed the brownie cups with frosting!

I got home about 1pm and put things away before having instant noodles with meatballs for lunch! Very yummy! For dinner, I will have my salad! 

I started to bake for tomorrow and finished watching the Jesus Revolution movie!

This afternoon, I went to meet this guy that I had helped when he moved back to the States. He had asked me to keep his wedding photo as he couldn't take it. And now, he's back in Taiwan and can bring it with him! We met up at our old apartment as that's where I had stored it! I was thinking: has it been 10 years? It has only been four years!

After the hand-off, I went over to church and got the place set up for Saturday's Women's Event and then I went over to Costco. I got 24-packets of Kirkland tissue, sliced cheese, sliced ham, tilapia and Thai shrimp (that was on sale!). I got everything loaded on my scooter!

I was home and put everything away and had my salad for dinner! It was already 5:30! 

Isaiah came home at 7pm and we worked on the car battery! It didn't work... I might have to go and get a battery pack from the Toyota Dealership and work on it some more tomorrow night...

How did the day go by so quickly?

The Busy Tuesday!

I was up early and out and ran my usual 10K.

I was back and after a quick shower, I messaged people and ate breakfast! YUMMY!

I took a nap... and got Isaiah up and out and I headed out!

I was again early... and had time to set up!

The kids' motivation is waning... it's difficult to stay focused for so long. But they enjoyed the break and the goodies. 

I got home and ate lunch and had a nice chat with Alan before I started to bake for tomorrow. Brownie cups with extra chocolate chips.

The afternoon sped by... Wow... I took a nap because, tonight I had my Tuesday evening Bible study at 7pm.

Tomorrow... I will have to make a quick trip to Costco to get sliced cheese, bread and ham slices for Friday's 'snack'.

A Sabbath Rest!

I was up, a bit later than usual... and went out for my 10K at 4:40.

I was back and took a shower. I then unpacked the carry on suitcase that my friends brought back for me. It had only 7 kilos of things, so not too bad to put away. I then filled it up with things that I will try to sell for money... I'm saving up now for my trip in May! One pair, for example, is a Roger Vivier black patent leather Tromptee buckle embellished shoes: 23,000NT$. If I can get just 10,000NT$... that would be amazing... because all her shoes are around that price range!

Isaiah was up and out and I sat down to have toast and butter and tea for breakfast. It was absolutely perfect!

I finished my Revelation study. I read. I baked. I talked to Alan. I had a delicious lunch of salad and cold noodles with avocado!

A sweet sister came over at 2:30 to set my computer up with Netflix so that I can watch Jesus Revolution, which is the movie for the women's event this Saturday. We talked and prayed together and after she left at 5pm, I had prayer time with another sister.

I set the iRobot to work and blogged. I didn't feel like eating dinner tonight.

I was hoping that Isaiah would be home early so that we can go down to jump-start the car. But when he got home, I was too tired. The dear sister who came over brought their extra jumbo car jumping battery. I am charging it up... so maybe tomorrow night or Wednesday night I will try to jumpstart the car with Isaiah. We have to get it started and drive it over to the Toyota dealer... 

I was just too tried to do that tonight!

I am asking God to act on my behalf with certain issues that are happening at church! Please pray!
