Moving to Taiwan I thought that money wouldn't be a problem from day one. It was a bit of an unexpected surprise when I had loads of things to pay off, buy and could barely make it through the month. Everything seemed so much more expensive and it took awhile to find ways to save and still be comfortable.
Today again I had to manage my expectations. I imagined and planned to get a train to Taichung and back in my own seat. Well on the way back the taxi took us to the HSR (High Speed Rail) so we didn't make it in time for our train. We sat on the hard floor and it was a hot and bumpy ride. I was dreading my next class that I would now be late for AND unprepared. I heard a whisper in my ear and heart saying that it would be more fun than I expected and IT WAS! I went trick or treating with my two classes and to my twin's house and we even got candy-not that I eat it but it was a nice gesture.
Today (as a whole) exceeded my expectations but I also had to manage and control my frustrations and anger . I also had to remind myself that because it was a bumpy morning and afternoon it didn't have to continue like that and what I mean is that I didn't need to take that into my classrooms. I could let it go and enjoy the rest of what was left of the day!
It turned out to be an interesting day indeed.
May you be surprised by God's goodness in your life.
Love,
Sarah.
