It has truly been a dramatic yet blessed year in 2008. After 16 years since I came to the States, I finally went back visited my home town Taiwan. It was a culture shock for me after so many years, but after a week of adjusting, I fell in love with this little island again. The trip was also the hardest thing I ever done in my life traveling with an one year old. Thank God we made it back home in one piece and no one was hurt. With the down turn of the economy, I was laid off on Oct. 26, exactly 18 month from the day I start at Marmol. I truly loved the people and the work I do at Marmol, but deep down I know God pulled this job away from me. Praise the Lord that I have no work and Janice and I are expecting our second child next July. This pleasant surprise is the best gift from God for the new year and of course there are many things and more responsibilities on the way, but somehow I know everything going to be fine and wonderful because He is on the throne of my life. With all the time of the world on my hand now, I get to re-focus my life. Thanks to the 3 day trip to the mountain and many many brothers and sisters prayers and help, I get to learn what is really important in life. It is God - Family - Church - Work.
With the new year ahead, I am going to the 3 weeks Seminary school at Forerunner to start off. I am really excited about the next 3 weeks. It is funny that I told myself that I would never go back to school after Berkeley since I had enough of school of a life time (not that I hate Berkeley, in fact, I really enjoy my 4 years at Berkeley). But God has his funny way of changing people's heart. God has truly be my provider for the past 2 month without work, I am not sure how can I even get by without scratching my head on my finances with big spender as I am. Again, God has his wonderful way to provide, so Praise the Lord my God....
