人生下半場at the age of 55

It's a little bit late, I believe, to think about the second half of life.
The average life span for females in Taiwan is 80 something, so the mid-line should fall into early 40's, not in mid-50s'.
According to the personnel director of my school, I am qualified to retire.
I have worked for 4 schools and 28 years altogether.
7 years at Soochow Univ. + 9 years at Kaoyuan College + 6 years at Chongming Bilingual + 6 years at 附小
I have had my grandchild even though my only son will turn 15 in 3 months.

I love to read books of missionaries.  And I have always desired to live a life for the Lord
My dream is to devote a church for the Lord.
So far, I have two families to serve hard--one is in Tainan with my mom and son, the other is in Taipei with my husband
I work full time and was once workaholic
Now I am still conscientious about work, a very meaningful job with elementary school pupils
But I often think about the question: Am I doing what I hope to do?

With the last 2 jobs, I teach children of families with higher social and economical status,
I often see myself as a slave at Egypt and Exodus has been my constant hope

I dream to be a missionary in education, especially that I come from the country and have been living there for most of my life till now
When teachers flow and transfer into the city, I desire to get away from the city

2 times had I tried to leave Chongming Bilingual, and God had granted me my wish in the 3rd time
A total merciful miracle

This year I am going to try the 3rd time to leave 附小
Man proposes, God disposes.

A church for Jesus,
The building is already ready there--保華路?

It probably is about time to think seriously about my dream, at the age of 55.
