Happy New Year! This year is horse year.
And wish you all run fast and happy in the coming 2014.
When I think back my 2013, there is a word
I got,” Busy”. The farther I want to think more what I had done in 2013, my
mind was blank. It is nice to have Quiet Time books so there is something I can
re catches my memories.
The Unchanged in 2013
I was the same working as EQ
office Secretary General, will finish my term this year and still thinking
about whether I should continue or do something else. The volunteers group
training also the same, three volunteers group I had, senior high school
students, university students, and the mothers. And all these made me the same
busy with different camps for youth and kids.
For the
past five years my life was a lot about the youth in Taiwan. And I enjoy
spending time with them, listening to their complaining and seeing them
growing. My commitment to work with youth, the volunteers group will end this
year as well, and still waiting for guidance for my next step.
I still go
for Yoga class and Ballet practice. It was the time I don’t need to receive
phone calls and just be with myself. I enjoy the time doing Yoga and Ballet.
This year
still remain 5 people in my family. My parents were busy with Chinese in Action
and half year time was not in Taiwan. When they were away, my home became like a
hotel. No one to talk at home and the speaker of my computer was broken, made I
felt bored at home. So I spent most of my time in the office. My Brother and
Yue bought a second hand apartment. Both of their jobs are stable. And I am the
same enjoying being single.
The changes in 2013
I had a new secretary. The previous one went
to Australia for a year. The new one was my old friend and close as sisters. Last
Sep. she finished CinA training and expressed that wanted to work full time in
EQ office. It was nice to have her and now we worked together for the volunteer
groups training.
Apart from busy with
the office administer work and the volunteers’ activities; there were three
workshops I tried in 2013. The first one was with a mother group; I was talking
to them about our relationship with our original family. With this group at the
beginning I was nervous because they are all older than me. Thanks to their openness
and trust. The second one was an English workshop which I did with my brother
and Yue together. We were hoping to open a space for people especially those
young people in the volunteer group can feel free to speak in English. Nice cooperated
with my brother and Yue, many creativities happened. The third one was a
workshop for junior high school students conducted by EQ office chairman,
victor+ me+ my brother+ Yue and my new secretary. I was in charge of physical
class. I don’t know any sports so the only thing I can do with them was to have
stretching class. And one thing for sure was that my students they dislike my
class, because it was too tired and painful sometimes.
2013, there were many moments I felt God was with me and helping me to
finish the task. I felt grateful about it and many touching stories came out. There
were also moments I had good inspiration and guidance through having Quiet
Time. That was nice feeling, too.
2013 May, I went to Shanghai and HeFei in China to help with CinA, and
went to Nanjing in July to work with a group of Catholic Fathers for the youth
camp. Sep. went to Hong Kong for the CinA conference. Oct. went to Korea had
holiday and catch up with friends. And then end of Dec. went to Indonesia to
help with the Youth Camp and spent my 2014 new year there.
I am happy my 2013 was over and looking
forward to my 2014.
Best wishes!!
