Re-learning things...




So far two things I am forced to re-learn here:
1. Wash the dishes, the dutch way
2. Ride the bicycle along hi-way

I just learned that hot water is so precious here as clean drinking water is in Philippines. So in washing the dishes, the dutch people have special dish-washing liquid soap that doesn't require rinsing. Strange for me but I just followed what I had to do. Believe me, the dishes don't smell and they are indeed clean. I really had to set aside the filipino practice in this simple chore for a while.

Now regarding the second re-learning. We went back to stores again (i attached some pics our first stop was chocolate store) but this time I have to practice my biking skills. People here normally go around by bicycles. My sister told me I have to get used to riding the bike and familiarize myself with the directions so I can go by my self next time.

I know how to drive bicycle but not on a hi-way. I was praying that God would protect me while riding the bike. It was quite a challenge but by God's grace, we returned home safely. I didn't hurt myself nor hurt anyone along the bike lane.

The Lord is good each day.

The last verses of Exodus 40 are like sweet reminders to me. I can't help but praise God because His ways are sure and I just have to trust in Him. 34  Then  the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and  the glory of the  Lord  filled the tabernacle.   35  And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord  filled the tabernacle.   36  Throughout all their journeys,  whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.   37  But  if the cloud was not taken up, then they did...
