this is our last picture we had together!
What are you guys all up to this summer? Where are you and what are you doing and how has it been?
I just got back from Taiwan yesterday so today I've just been catching up on sleep, emails, and I cooked dinner tonight (cucumbers, shrimp, and baked chicken) :) Taiwan was a lot of fun...we toured and visited a lot of landmarks for the three weeks...we went to like every region of Taiwan. It was super tiring traveling around that much and after awhile I got pretty homesick just cause it's not super comfortable living in Taiwan and seeing only relatives gets pretty tiring (we're not that close to our relatives). I'm really happy I ended up getting Internet most of the time cause I got to go on facebook and email. Me and James had to communicate mostly by email and gchat just cause it was harder to skype or voice chat. But it's good to be back and makes me appreciate my house and being able to relax and talk on the phone with James and get online whenever.
I've been reading Prodigal God by Tim Keller and it's really shown me a lot about God. You can read my blog (irishasablog.blogspot.com) for some stuff I learned! Also been reading Hosea (going from Daniel to whenever) but reading the Old Testament sometimes is hard cause there's a lot of stuff about judgment and so I hope God will just show me more through that. Also I've been doing a daily prayer thing that Sara recommended (she's going to be my discipler next year). Sundays I pray praises/thanks, Mondays the world, Tuesdays my family/relatives, Weds my disciplee Ruby and discipler Sara, Thurs nonChristian friends (mainly Jillian my roommate last year), Fri AIV/Large Group ministry, Sat: me and James. There's a lot of other stuff I want to pray for but I think keeping it one thing a day has really helped me to remember to pray for these things and to pray in general.
Summer is a really hard time to stay connected with God but I've found prayer and talking to other people has really helped :) I hope we can help each other stay connected relationally and also spiritually. I know I need you guys!
Post soon! blogs are cool :)
Love,
Iris
