Last post from Taiwan...
Boy, what a whirlwind final two days that I've had... In simple terms, it involved my family, a secluded mountain retreat, Japanese costumes, tatame, good meals, painful massages, hot springs, nudity, paintball, visiting grandmother, driving a treacherous mountain road, driving with almost no gas (and almost no gas station), driving with almost no room to spare on each side, driving while being lost, all dominated by painful thoughts of my problems back in Canada... It's a very tiring trip. Sure the experiences were interesting...but, I'm not sure that I fully appreciate the family time that we were supposedly having.
A few leftover notes from the past... I'm having problems with love and forgiveness...I have trouble relate to the recent chapter that I'm reading in Abide in Christ, especially when the author keeps referring to the first time that I have came to Christ, which I don't remember...I love Globe Trekker, especially when Ian is on...I may be the only person who can have a lot of cash ($5000 in NTD), and yet unable to spend it...I got addicted to this game called Crazy Machines, which unfortunately I won't be able to play on my own computer...I am weary of this world that I live in, and I wish to just disappear from it (at least for a while)...I'm kind of stuck on Psalm 19, with its beautiful words which I cannot comprehend fully even remotely...Is it even possible that one can be so busy that he is not able to spend time in prayer and reading God's words everyday?
Final thought from Taiwan: Goodbye, little island. I won't miss the environment, but I will miss the people I've met. I feel that I did not do whatever it is that God wants me to do here, because I may have shut off the voice from the Holy Spirit a few times. And for that, I feel painfully sorry to the Lord. There were some good times, there were some bad times, but I felt that the bad overpowered the good. Anyway, may the Lord lead the way to Waterloo, help me face the problems there, and not forget about my connections here. Oh yeah, I'll definitely miss the trains here...
