More Biking

Most of my adventures so far involve biking in some way or another. For example there has only one time I thought I was going to pass out and that was after biking like 80km. But thankfully, we stopped and had ice cream which made me feel much better. Also, I am not sure I wrote about my experience getting chased but three very large dogs that almost chased me straight to my death in front of a bus. Thankfully, I made a quick sharp turn and my life was spared. I have almost met the most interesting people biking, okay well not while biking, but after biking. After every bike ride it is I guess tradition to sit for a couple hours drinking hot tea and eating peanuts. I am truly blown away by how much hot tea these people drink. They are like little girls hooked on tea parties, but in reality this so much better and healthier than American's habits. Well these are just some of my thoughts and adventures about Taiwan. I hope to break 100km on my next bike ride! I will keep yall updated, don't worry.

First Graders

Image
It's amazing how well God knows my heart and how I feel, because every time I am having a rough day He sends one or a few first graders over with big hugs! My first graders are amazing students very attentive and eager to learn, but apparently not all teachers have that privilege with them. One of the first grade teachers was just fired! I couldn't believe it because they are so good for me every time I teach. However, my heart goes out to her because I know that teaching first grade is no easy task  "The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor

Put Your Phone Down!

Recently, I have just been so annoyed by people constantly being on their phones. I have never been so thankful that my father made the rule "no phones at the table."  When you are with your friends or family, you should "be with them." That doesn't mean talking to someone on snapchat or messenger, while you are with them. Just put the phone down and give them your undivided attention. How I feel when someone is on their phone at the dinner table or on a date is that I am not interesting or entertaining enough for them. If my phone is down and we are talking and you pick yours up to reply to a message or snap, what am I suppose to do while you play on your phone? We should all just put our phones down and be at the table talking to our friends or family, instead of sitting at a table just playing on our phones. Funny story: the other night at the night market there was a father and a son walking past me. The father was doing something on his phone, and his son s...

God is Good All the Time

Our Bible study group worked through a video series based of the book "This was Your Life" which is really excellent. I have read the book twice and watched the video series! It is REALLY good! One of the craziest points in the book was that every sin begins with the suspicion that God is not good. Our minds are a constant battle field of good and evil, but the moment that we think that God is not good is the moment that sin begins to grow. God said that his love is "unfailing", so why do we doubt that?  When I look back on my life and all of my answers prayers I know God is good and if that is not enough the Bible clearly states that God is good ALL THE TIME. I just need to put my trust in the truth and believe that he is good and everything works out for good. " For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope " (Jeremiah 29:11). So no matter what lies ahead in t...
