| after 24 hours....i am finally sitting home and checking my e-mails....wow....its amazing how much can accumulate in 48 hours - i did get lazy the last few days to check e-mail (which rarely happens!) but i'm home. Taiwan is hot, humid, but oh so lovely. So much more quiet than New York! crazy.....so far me and my mom have had some really good and sharing convos. My sister has grown at least a few inches taller!! but its so good to be home. i already ate a bowl of beef noodles since i was so tempted to eat it at Ollies before i left- but told myself no because i'll be eating the real thing in Taiwan. So- thus my summer adventures begin. i know i'm going to be doing absolutely NOTHING for the next 2 weeks at least - but just reading, hanging out in the city with friends, spending time with mom and sister and GBC! woot. I'm still debating between India or Malaysia for 3 weeks community development service - so today and tomorrow shall have an answer. Also- praise God, i had a revelation about guy issues. I guess being single- it is tempting to be looking around for the man out there - but i realize that is NOT a good way at all. The best way is to TRUST that God will provide you with someone who is amazing along your way of pursue God's heart. God is the ultimate lover. I think we tend to forget about that and get twirled into the whole dating scene. I got a wake up call. I need a guy who loves me for who I am. I need a guy who is NOT scared to pour himself out and love others. With closure, I bring thanksgiving and look up to God - for He loves me for who I am - every single bit. thanks DAD! | | |
| i have never realized how much of a control freak i am. its kind of scarying me. today i was talking to my roommate and then the words literally came out "i just can't stand how i don't know what is going on next. i like to be in control of my schedule and my life...." and then i paused. hmmmm- yeah?! i do, don't i? its so weird- every year by this time- i had an idea what i want to do or will be doing- but this year i have absolutely no idea other then going home in May and staying there for a month. Its all question marks. I know i need an internship and would be nice to make money alongside with it. But other then that- i think my mind is tired of thinking what are things i can do...definitely need rest in my brain.....people have been hunting me down and asking "why haven't you returned phone calls?" or "why haven't you replied my emails?" and i feel bad! i have been in such retrieval mode- which is not really like me. i just don't really wanna deal with people until i get done with my papers and then after that i can go home. can't explain what kind of funky mood i am in :P | | |
| After deciding and thinking-
i am going home in May!! :) so excited
| | |
| I cannot believe this. It is spring. April. and New York City was flurring??!! i mean....seriously. COME ON!! where are the green trees, green pastures, blue skies, flowers, sundresses.....will this day ever happen to new york? I'm starting to doubt that will ever happen to New York.....what a long winter. I really am not meant to be in such weather like this. It is oppression.
So- 70% staying in New York City for the summer. 30% going somewhere. I have recently learned a lot about obedience to rest. I have had really not much time to rest during the past 8 months. graduate school is INTENSE for sure- but its good. I can't wait till the beginning of May when i won't have school and I can at least rest for a week :) before whatever happens. Anyways- i know for sure- NO SCHOOL till September. I am really excited about my friend's wedding which i'll be a bridesmaid for the 1st time- (last time i bailed out because i had to go to China :) ) and it will be in Atlanta! i'm excited in traveling back to the South. Esp the weather should be amazingly nicer. Also- August. Can't wait to go home to Taiwan. My whole familiy will be home at least for partially the month. dad, mom, me and lulu- and we are gonna go to the Southern shores of Kending to have some beach/water fun and just travel as a family. Since the last time we all saw each other (June 2006)- a lot has happened- i have been to China for the second time, been a graduate student for a year, lived in new york city. As for my mom- she has became a new Christian- which is oh so exciting :). My sister- i assume she has grown taller, smarter and prettier ;) and my dad maybe still the same person. I can't wait to go back to Taiwan most of all to see my friends at GBC. I miss my women's small group so much! You never know how much you miss something until they are not next to you. One of the group members came to visit NYC last week- Fifi, and I basically ran to her and we hugged for 3 minutes and cried. Yeah- i miss home if you didn't figure that out. I think I just being back in Asia.
Until next time- 5 papers and 2 presentations to go!!!!!! nobody shall see me till May 3rd- only by special requests! :) | | |
