what an interesting turn of events today turned out to be.
i had originally planned out everything to the T, but there were some interruptions here and there that altered my plans.
i drove like 350 km+ today - i basically went all over the GTA - oakville, sauga, unionville, airport, scarborough, and whitby! so i'm pretty tired. i haven't gotten much sleep these past few days.
we went to get angie from the airport today. and guess what. we MISSED her flight. but we didn't know that. so we sat at the airport for like 2.5 hours. and we finally called her and realized her flight came a little early so we had just missed her. isn't that STUPID!? :P and the parking fee came out to be $17 bucks. for 2.5 hours! that's so problems. but we had a jokes time at the airport cuz we decided to like find those abandoned carts and push them back to get a dollar back. we found like 10-11 carts! so that was pretty sweet.
anyway, we drove to angie's place straight from the airport. it was great to see her! :) she kinda gave us the low-down on her entire trip and the highlights and what have you. pretty cool stuff. it's so awesome to hear what God is doing around the world and how He's moving and all! isn't that awesome? it's like... we miss so much on what God is doing around the world if we're not paying attention and keeping ourselves aware of what's going on around us...and i want to know what He's doing. like He's doing some crazy stuff all around the world, that i know for sure! and just to be a part of that is like such an incredible thing... maybe it's time i started thinking more about a short term mission's trip? or maybe for in a few years from now? 3rd? *Shrugs* but yeah, it was really cool hearing what God did during angie's mission's trip. she's really learned a lot :)
me and justin went to see MORGAN today!! we had to drive out to whitby cuz that's where she was but all good.. man her mom is like frickin hilarious!!!!! haha.. she's like one of the funniest ladies i've ever met.. probably even more jokes than my mom.. and my mom is like pretty frickin funny.. but yeah.. wow, it was an awesome time just chatting it up with her mom and morgan... it was sooooooo great to see morgan! it's been like over a year since i've last seen her.. and like....... she's become this super hero! wow.. so impressed.. i'm like totally floored.. first of all.. she's like a summer intern at her church.........PAID! (that's so hilarious.. she gets like paid to be in worship.. haha. to sit in church.. lol)... but yeah, she like even preached to the jr. high kids.. like who does that? and she's like.. what.. 18? maybe?? oh man!!!!!! and that's not even the craziest thing.. she's going to europe in 4 weeks to stay there for 10 months to like work at this Bible college in austria.. and like take 3 courses there over the year.......WOW! she's gonna be such an amazing pastor type person or whatever she becomes later on...
but that wasn't the craziest thing of the night... so we started talking, me, justin, her and her mom.. and like her mom comes up with this crazy idea about us going to ottawa for the week to help with the VBS at their church.. first she was joking.. but then it became serious.. and we were like.. that'd be really cool.. and it's neat how things worked out.. might be God leading us... see, me, justin were planning to go to atlanta next week anyway for 7:22 and stuff.. but it was cancelled.. and like we both have absolutely NOTHING to do next week.. so like yeah.. it just pops up... my only concern is our worship team.. we need to practice for sufficiency some more, especially with jer leaving for europe next week! so anyhow, we start thinking about it and wondering the possibilities, wondering if that's what God wants us to do. justin was planning to get up mad early to ask his parents...cuz they normally would be asleep by the time we got back home.. but like, they were awake and were TOTALLY fine with it - no problems at all.. and what's even more whack was like his friend jen from ottawa called him right after and was like asking if she could get a ride with us back to TO from ottawa the weekend we come back because she needed a ride. like what the crap is that? for me, my parents were cool with it. but there's still one thing confusing me. i'm not so sure if this is what God wants me to do yet. it's either that or stay home. i'm sure He'll give me peace either way, but i have to decide soon......
i just need to keep my trust and hope in God knowing that He will answer my prayers in His time and in His way no matter how badly i want the 'results' now............ waiting........ in expectancy.......
g'nite!
