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!
