Wednesday was a loooong day for all of us here in Hualien. We taught our usual classes in the morning and then taught a teachers workshop in the afternoon. By the time we got home I felt like my brain was fried even though I still had some lesson preparation for the next day before I could go to bed. However looking back, all I can say was that God is so good. The teachers workshop was very different from the one we put on last semester or helped out with in Nantou. To start with, we were not the ones who planned what to teach, instead we were told what to teach and how long it needed to be. Secondly instead of working with each other we were working with local English teachers, but not the ones we work with at school so it wasn’t always to get together and figure out what we were going to do. It was very stretching to still not be sure what exactly was going on when we arrived, but it was amazing to see how God worked out the details when we put our trust in Him. Also to see that the end result was that the Taiwanese teachers seemed very pleased with the way it went and they are a lot better judge of something like this than we are. The verse summarizes the day the best is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
