Aging


Most people were astonished when they found out my real age. Perhaps I look younger because of the way I dress, the type of music I listen to or how I speak, I don’t look my age. Oh, I am not complaining about it and quite frankly, I thank God for giving me great genes that I look younger. I don’t have any wrinkles on my fact yet but I have a lot of gray hair. I have so much gray hair that I need to do highlight on my hair to mask my gray to blonde. Yup, that’s right, my gray hair has jump from the category of gray to blonde.

It is true that blonds have so much more fun! Just the other day, when I was shopping at a local store, I caught several guys checking me out. In fact, one guy went as far as pushing his shopping cart back and forth the isle several times just so that he could check me out. It was so obvious to me that he was staring at me because I caught him staring at me and I smiled back. Personally, I find it funny and kind of hilarious.

It is hilarious because my appearance is quite deceiving and that my joints are starting to hurt me now. I went to the Children’s Discovery Museum earlier today with my sister and my nephews. There was a lot of walking and a lot of climbing up steps and running around the playground with my nephews. Once I had walk up some steps and my left knee started to have these sharp pain. Wow! I am aging. I have got to go talk to my doctor and what’s up with my knees.

Uncle Andrew told me over the phone that Grandpa is sick. Both my grandparents are living in Taiwan and are pretty healthy. They both love to travel and to hike. They started hiking when I was in my teens and because of their passion in hiking, my grandfather can still walk a lot. Grandmother, on the other hand is aging fast. Her energy level is very low and she sleeps a lot. The only thing that would get her all jazz up would be my nephews, Isaac and Jeremiah. She is especially crazy about Isaac because Isaac loves to tell her that he loves her. I love my grandparents very much. They refused to believe in Christ and I don’t understand why. Perhaps we didn’t set good examples or that their hearts are so stony.

Next Tuesday night, my mother, Ruth, Isaac and Jeremiah will go to Taiwan to visit my relatives in Taiwan including my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Most of them are either Buddhist or Atheists and they don’t know Jesus. We have been praying that perhaps God will open their hearts and Isaac has been asking God to let them, his great-grandparents to accept Christ.

It’s all in God’s hands now. We hope that they would accept Christ. We have faith.
