An update

Considering that it’s been over a month since I last updated this blog, I figured it was about time. I guess the word that would best describe my recent life is “insane”. It seems like I’ve been going form one final, paper, or report to another…

Finally. Done. My last class was last Tuesday, with the paper due this Tues. A little bit of English editing, and it’s done. (I never thought I’d put my mother’s insistence on correct grammar to so much use! I’ve been able to help a lot of classmates with different things that they’ve been working on, which has been nice.

Since classes finished, it’s been kind of weird to be able to do stuff I’ve been too busy to do when school was happening. I got out and did some exploration on my scooter – I’m going to Taipei tomorrow for the first time in 2 months, and am going to Yilan next weekend with a friend.

However, the end of the school year has meant that people are leaving…a few people that I’ve gotten pretty close to are going back – one couple to America, and another guy to Sweden. I guess all good things must come to an end, but it’s still no fun to say goodbye to friends

This summer is still a big question mark. I’ll be working on my internship 3 days a week, will be tutoring at least one night a week, and am hoping to find more, and getting some traveling in when I can. About all I know is that it won’t be very relaxing…

Here’s something I’ve been wondering about:

If “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.(Proverbs 13:12)….however “…those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)” So…is it good to wait or not? Will it renew your strength or make you sick? What does it mean to wait on the Lord?
