On the heels of Hume (about 11 hours to be exact), I was called away to go back to Taiwan to visit my parents. My Mom and Dad have been living somewhat permenantly in Taiwan since 2001. With some of my mother's recent health developments, my heart was pulled to go back for a visit. Poor Matthew, abandoned by his wife again to hold down the fort for another 10 days :(.
Taiwan's "new" high speed subway system
Typical Taiwanese "fast food" - little stands on the side of the streets...
Fancy hotel in Chai Yi - my parents' hometown
Interesting way of using the playground structures...
no children, just adults stretching or "massaging" their arms and legs
Some cool functional decorative water pumps
in one of the parks that we went to for our morning walk...
Glorious rainbow... we had torrential thunderstorm downpours each aftenoon!
Farmer's markets! I love it :)
Happy birthday, Mommy!
Taking a 4 hour red eye bus to the airport... coming home!!!
God, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see Mom and Dad for a brief time. Thank you for giving a supportive husband that is willing to sacrifice his comfort and time to allow me to be a daughter. I'm so grateful for the family and friends that stepped in during this time to help me with my kids & husband, my flights, my church responsiblities, and most of all, for lifting me up in prayer to You! You are an awesome God and is definitely in control of all things, even flights. Thank you for getting me home in time to welcome Kari and the kids, and to prep for Speechless. Continue to work out all circumstances and continue to channel hearts. You are amazing!
