Saturday Western

I woke up really late today. It is probably a result of me sleeping really late last night. AH! This is so bad! Why can't I control my sleeping habits? I'm so bad....
My whole body felt sore when I woke up. My biceps were sore from carrying my bag to London yesterday. I vividly remember struggling to get to the bus stop since my baggage was too heavy (I really need to go work out after this trip) My back was sore because of the way I was sleeping last night. I'm really thankful that God has given me a roof over my head and a bed to sleep on during this trip.

I contacted C.Tso and went to lunch with her. Hehe Bi.Leung lent me her bus pass for London so I got around the whole city free : ). I believe I went around the whole city today with C.Tso haha.
I'm thankful that I had Bi.Leung's bus pass today.
C.Tso and I went to Manna Grill for lunch. The Korean food was really yummy there. I had a pork bone soup. It took me an hour and a half to pick out all the meat out of the bone. It was kinda annoying 'cuz I felt like I had carpal tunnel syndrome after I finished eating. I'm thankful that God provided me with a place to eat today and eating one of my favourite dishes.
Dream Boy called after and asked to work at the library. I was using C.Tso's phone at the moment. Dream Boy asked if K.lam was with me, but she was stuck at Brian's place since she didn't have a way of transportation. We were trying to plan for a way for K.lam to come to library. I was on C.Tso's phone with one ear and my phone on the other talking to H.Fung. (I swear my head received triple the radiation at that moment) K.lam was online talking to Dream Boy. Haha it really reminded me of broken telephone. K.lam said that she wasn't going anymore so we ended that 4 way conversation but C.Tso and I agreed to go to the library.
After lunch, C.Tso and I went to Starbucks and I got a drink I believe it is a "Java Chip Frappucino". Starbucks was having a promo this weekend. They were giving out an extra treat at the side for buying a drink. I got this "Rocky Road" lollipop thing, which I gave to Dream Boy when I got to the Taylor Library. I was really thankful for C.Tso just bringing me out during the day...and night haha. God I'm so thankful that You let me catch up with her and talk about our spiritual lives. I really saw how much You have made her grown. God You're amazing! I'm thankful that You have given her the desire to reach out to Your children : )

C.Tso and I bussed down to the library and worked there for approximately 3 hours with Dream Boy. I got to meet a lot of people there. I was really thankful that God gave me a brother and a sister to accompany me during the day. I video chatted with my dad and brother. I was talking to them about teaching English in China. My dad said that I wasn't allowed to go because we aren't financially capable since I was going to HK in May so I there wasn't enough money to buy a ticket in July or August (considering that the gas prices have rocketed due to Libya). I studied Chinese after.

We went downtown London for dinner after at Moxies. The food was pretty good. I shared about my problem with sharing the Gospel to homosexuals and we kinda discussed it. The discussion changed topics to "completely ridding yourself of sin". Hence, the dilemma is not solved yet. I was really glad that we talked about the other topic though. I'm really thankful to have conversations about God with my brother and sister who I haven't talked to for a really long time.

We bussed back home after. It was a big adventure. C.Tso got dropped off at home first. I decided to try healing on the bus, so I prayed for her. I'm not sure how she is right now but I thought it was cool to try it out. Dream Boy and I transferred to a different bus.

While we were at the bus stop, I was observing the people around me. Most of them were looking in the direction that the bus would come. I kinda clicked in my head about our expectation of Jesus coming. I wonder, do we view Christ coming at any moment of the day like the bus? or are we passive? Do we expect Christ to come soon? I wonder, are we like the people at the bus stop? Do we always hope for the bus, Christ, to come A.S.A.P.?
Gosh! This is what God has been revealing to me for a while now. I'm not sure what it means...

When Dream Boy and I got on the bus we were transferring to, we were trying to figure out which stop to get off. When we did get off the bus, we were confused and kinda lost. It was scary but luckily we got of the the right stop. Thank You Lord! It was nice of Dream Boy to walk me home tonight because he did live away from Bi.Leung's place. Thank You Father for a brother to walk me home during the night...even at 11:30PM xP

Today felt like brother and sister day.

Tomorrow is Sunday, another busy day. I'm going to Harvest(London style). No worries, I'm God's lil' trooper.
