Sorry about my long absence. There is an excuse and it is called China. There were some issues with loading WordPress that I believe have been wrinkled out… …but there is another excuse to my long absence. Business and Busyness. The gods that our employer worshiped this year had almost consumed our time. Not that we were worshiping them, but merely that all of … Continue reading Up And Running
Okay, so we’ve lived in China 4 months. Who placed bets we’d be coming home early? Well you’re wrong. Who would have guessed we’d be homesick? Wrong again. Of course we have our moments. We are 1/3 of the way through our contract with Kang Chaio. Its been a crazy ride, a rough start and will probably continue to be a difficult and rewarding journey. … Continue reading Miss America
A few weeks ago, we had Golden Week and National Day. Now, in a previous post I had told you that we were going to have a stay-cation. Well, staycations get a little boring if you live in Huaqiao. So we packed up our backpacks (I got a new one!! Yippee!) and set out for a little ancient village called Xitang. If you are not … Continue reading Selfie On A Bridge
This past month, Nick and I joined a few friends at a soccer match. It was Shanghai vs. Guangzhou and it was going to be exciting. We went to the knockoff market before we went and picked up a Shanghai jersey. It was AWESOME. Its this blue, high quality, Nike Shanghai jersey. It looks completely legit. So Nick changes into it before the game. Stops right … Continue reading The Wrong Team
This week we have vacation. Much needed vacation. This is because it is National Day, and the week after National Day is called Golden Week. Which is awesome. Its not a travel holiday because its the only week that Chinese Nationals get off to travel to sightsee. So we are staying at home this week. Which really, a stay-cation was the way to go. On … Continue reading National Day
A fun photoblog of our little jaunt around Shanghai with our friend Ryan. Enjoy! Continue reading A Shanghai Adventure
Some things I love about China are the really small things. I love that flowers bloom when it rains. They dot the trees and shrubs like sprinkles on a very green and brown cake. They are small and subtile and tell of God’s eye for details. These flowers were placed here for beauty and color. I love the way it cools down at night here. … Continue reading I love…
So I haven’t written a blog about discipleship for a very long time. I haven’t been sure about what to write. But once again, I have a clear thought. Our lives here in China, aren’t easy. Nothing goes according to plan… NOTHING. One minute things are working and the next you are in tears because it doesn’t. I’ve written about this before about China. The … Continue reading Comfort
So, we have been teaching for 3 weeks now. Time goes so quickly… whether or not you’re having fun. Lucky for me, its been about 25% not fun, 75% extra fun. In this blog I’ve posted several photos of my classes. We are encouraged to take photos of our kids for PR reasons, and I’ve taken advantage of it. My first week I taught ESL … Continue reading Teacher Denenberg!!!
