Sunday, August 14

My Sunday Went like

Woke up early. Bused to church.
Arrived and got talk with VBC people before service.
Sammi wanted to sit with me, so it's been a while since I've sat with people during service.
Josh Yao decided to sit with me today (probably because today was the only time I didn't sit in the very front), so I got to seriously talk with him for the first time.
Talked about softball and our priorities with being too competitive.

Listened to a really (imo) straight-forward and.... I kept dozing off.
Chit-chat time, was with Sammi again. We got to know each other a little more.
People came in and out of our conversation, and it worked out nicely cause there was a certain topic that I was beating around the bush about.
Another girl came in and wanted to tell me about how she was thinking about getting into a relationship.
I answered her with 'Pray about it, talk to people with more experience, and pray more about it.'
Then I added an important question for both the girl and Sammi.
"Why are you getting into a relationship with him?"

After that, Sunday School.
I was directed to make popcorn (never did it before) and when I finished, I saw Sammi and her boyfriend sitting together.
Not the best idea, but I decided to surprise the boyfriend with hot bag of popcorn.
Unknown to me, the bag of popcorn opened and steam went up at his face. He started yelling and telling me that I could have blinded him (which was true, so never again).

After Sunday School, I was taking a nap and over heard a VBC coordinator asking the couple if they were going out.
Their expression and body language told me pretty much everything, I remember body language more than words.

Um, the 'interesting experience' is here.
So there was a last minute batting practice announced for 3:00pm today.
I decided to go to Tim Hortons, grab some food and eat by the nearby pond.
Saw the a mama duck with 4 ducklings swimming towards me, first time seeing ducklings.
I started singing, then praying for a while about my day and especially about the fight with my sister yesterday.
Then around 2:00pm, it started drizzling.
Umbrella out, tucked my body and backpack under it hoping that the rain would stop.
I asked God to tell me if I should stay for practice, or go back home and reconcile with my sister.
I asked if the rain meant 'Yes, go home'.
Then the raindrops increased.
And I got upset. I wanted to practice, why didn't I get what I want?
So I waited it out and refused to move.
The rain then started pummeling down.
And I still refused. I challenged God, and said that 'As long as I had my umbrella, I didn't need to move'.

And guess what?
My umbrella started leaking all over me.
I ended up yelling 'FINE, I'LL GO HOME'.
Got up and.... the shower of rain became a drizzle.

Then I was like, 'Should I sit back down?'
And it started to crescendo again.
Ran out of the pond area, only to be greeted by a massive rainstorm.
I wasn't going to be waiting for 40 minutes for a bus in a rainstorm, so I ran back to church.

I dried off, and took off what I could take off to dry.
Then somehow, a group of softball governors were praying, so I joined them for their prayer meeting.

This week had so many coincidences.... yet I am not sure if I am just persuading myself....
