I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0117. Design and Living

My parents and I had a brief time with Uncle Yeh and Aunt Kong. We sat at their living room and found their apartment is well-used. They co-worked with the interior designer to design the living room. Uncle Yeh said "The interior designers don't visit the houses (or apartments) they did the design. Those designs are ruined after a few years. A lot of people don't live in the style of those designs." I totally agree. I have my own living style. If the house design is not fit to my life style, the design is pretty much useless to me. And very soon, my own living habits will turn the place to fit into my style. The original house design is just a waste.

What is my living style? I haven't figured that all out yet. But one is for sure. I would like to have a big study room - for computer(s), books, and crafts. The room will need a very good lighting, lots of shelves, computer desk/work table and maybe a nice couch. That's all I can think of right now :)

0116. Random Thoughts

I never thought of how I wear when I was at North America. It seems like most of people don't dress up for a casual out (e.g. grocery shopping), unless you always do. People, at least I thought, usually wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Well, in Taiwan, people pay attention to the style even with jeans and T-shirt. I am used to think clean and neat are enough. But adding a little style is fun and enjoyable.

I often want to hide myself when I felt uncomfortable or not sure what to do. Partially, it is from my family. I also think I didn't have strong and frequent interactions with people in past. Coming back to Taiwan, under the strong and frequent people interactions, forces me to learn facing whatever comes to me. Good part of this is discovering ME that I don't know and the problems in ME. I suppose this is one of the reasons that God wants me back to Taiwan.
