Wow time is flying by so fast!!! Chase, Joel and I were just talking about how fast time has been flying by!! In just a few months it will no longer be 2004!!! Wow weird feeling!
Hmmmm........ what new adventure have I had recently??? I guess I'm not really sure because my whole life is an adventure!! This weekend I finally got to meet the legendary " AUDRA" !!! I love meeting new people full of life!!! Last night Christina, Audra and I had a wonderful time " just girl time" !!! If your wondering what we did...what do you think we did? What do girls do all the time?
TALK!! It was very fun!
I've been doing a lot of haircutting this past week. The "men" look very well and groomed! No more shaggy hair look... well I guess they weren't that far yet. They look very nice now so Moms they are looking very ....well as my mother would but it handsome.
This week Sandy from King Car came and visited us. It was a blessing to be able to spend time with her ,we (the team) hadn't seen here since the English Camp in Matsu. She came to our schools and watched us teach at our different schools. The only one that she wasn't able to observe teaching was Isaac. I was nice to hear her opinion on how I taught. Although my teacher that I was working with at the school was a basket case full of nerves. My heart went out to her. We all received good reports though, Yeah for the Nantou team!
Tomorrow the Team here will be attending a church once again in Taichung. It's about 30 mins. away. We attended (minus Joel as he was on the sick list) this church last week, I myself was very refreshed and encouraged by the Pastor. If we decided to attend that church every week it would cost a few dollars ( American ) to be able to go.
Then it dawned on me that I was willing to pay this same amount of money every week on something temporal ( like Food....MAI shame on me!). Why was I even pondering whether or not it would be worth it to pay to go to church every weekend? Shame on me! What a slash of cold water that was in my righteous face!! I need to be reminded by the Lord as to what again was to be my most important focus. So I humbly asked the Lord to forgive my selfishness and quickly turned to the others to encourage them that the traveling fares would be well worth it! I'm so grateful for His love and kind correction.
I was talking with some of my team hear and we were thinking about how interesting it will be to see how much the Lord is going to stretch us and help us grow (in Him) this year. I guess I personally would have to say as Mary did " Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word " Luke 1:38a.
From Nantou,
Mai Lewis ~ Luke 1:37 " ...For with God nothing is impossible! "
