Dear Ones,


A lot has just happened in October, and by a lot I mean the ministry here has really taken some strides forward; and this is what daily consumes my life. I expound on this in my latest post, "Ministry is Life & Life is Ministry." Though this last post is bit text-heavy, I really wanted to express to all of you the profound meaning of my life here, or rather, the profound meaning of life that I have found because I'm here. Every day of my life seems to bear prophetic whispers of an incredible future, yet everyday is still enough. 


For some visual relief and updates on the "strides" I mentioned in the first sentence, please visit "the mission" page and/or the ministry's website @ www.ximenloft.wordpress.com. I have included a special video just for my dear ones on "the mission" page. :-)


Love from the other side of the Pacific Ocean,
Victoria

Dear Ones,


It's so hard to give you a full picture of my life when I live so far away. When people ask me what I do here or about how I've been recently, I don't always know where to begin. So much of me wishes you could be sharing in the daily victories and failures of life with me here, and that same part of me desires to be sharing it with you, where you are. But all of me knows we are all where we are supposed to be. 


I have attempted to do just that - to give you a picture of my life - in my newest post: "Low Expectations from People, High Dependency on God."

Until we meet again, I pray that we all continue to grow in our connection and relationship to the Source. I love and miss you all. 


Striving for satisfaction no more,
Victoria

Dear Ones,


Fall is in full swing and has completely flooded my life with a diverse mix of emotion, resolve, and energy. My latest blog post reflects this. All of your prayers and thoughts are never taken for granted. 


I've added a new page to this site called "the mission". Here you can find the latest on how to support the mission I am a part of here in Taiwan. That website is http://ximenloft.wordpress.com/.

Write me at anytime. My email address is crowleyvictoria@gmail.com. 

Moving forward in freedom,
Victoria

Dear Ones,


I am about to begin the third year of my life here in Taiwan, the third year of my life that I have been an ocean and several time zones away from all of you. This is going to be an exciting third years in a lot of ways, and I hope to stay better connected with all of you through it.


Just as an FYI, my mailing address is:
2f-7 No.100
Emei ST
Taipei, TW 108 R.O.C. (Replubic of China)


My third year of teaching English begins on September 1st. I still don't feel ready.


One more thing: next summer (July-August 2012) I am going to be in America. So please, keep me in mind when you're planning next year's summer vacation; I am longing to see as many of you as possible when I am in the States!


Love from Taiwan,
Victoria

Dear Ones,


I believe it would be approximately correct to say that it's been about a year since I've sent any form of communication out concerning my whereabouts and orders of business here in Taiwan. It has not been easy to stay in touch or stay on top of all the things I would like to. This last year has been my second year living overseas. After two years here, I'm finally comfortable in my own skin.


So I finally did it. I created an official UPDATE BLOG. This blog is a letter - a very long letter - to every single person who has ever touched my life and helped me move mountains. Dear ones, this is for you. Here I will write my story.

Through this blog, I hope to keep all of you more actively updated with words and pictures from my life. No matter how far I am from all of you, I daily feel the support and love that comes form your prayers and thoughts. Thank you.


Cheers and blessings,
Victoria
