But on Thursday, this thing called '10 days with Jesus' from church started.
Twas a very bitter session for me honestly. I did not want to be there. But for some reason, I felt that if i walked up and left, I'd be losing to the enemy, to myself, that a part of me would be ripped off and I wouldn't get it back.
I'm sure glad I stayed, I could feel my heart melting, that this bitter cold heart I had was slowly turning warm. Cold warm, not warm warm, but it was warming.
I drove home that night and came across Scott from RSC09 on the roads :) Seeing old familiar faces certainly increased my mood to a +5.
On Friday it was my mother's 50th birthday and I left the shopping till the last minute, literally, 30 minutes. Seriously not enough time if you ask any girl. I prayed in desperation for a quick guide to the perfect present.
I found a pair of these ivory Milana italian leather shoes. $220. Everything else had sale signs, except these. WHY?! (I only planned to spend around $100 on my mum with my brother, but these shoes were absolutely perfect I had to get them. Also cos its her big five-zero, the 'half-way mark' of her life, I needed to get them. plus her fav pair of ivory shoes randomly disappeared about a year ago)
Mum called then and said "Don't bother buying me a present, just come home cos we have to go out to dinner in 15minutes"
I didn't tell her I was buying her a present and got grumpy that she found out. She must've heard it in my voice and she said "Okay, if you're bummed, buy me a nice nail polish cos I know some are quite pricey."
The check out lady told me these shoes were also on sale - for $84.95! WOWW! Also, the nail polish I had in mind were $15. This shopping day was perfect. Awesome bargain, done within half an hour and a perfect use of $100.
Truly it had to be God.
Heres a picture of the shoes :D
It was pouring a second ago. Despite the humidity, sweat, heat and the complaints of it all, I love hot weather - summer. I was standing at the window watching the rain fall down, hitting tiles 4 storeys below. One day I really want to wear a pair of goggles and hop outside whilst it rains and stare up at the sky to watch the rain fall down.
i bought my mother shoes toooooo but theyre like work shoes cause thats what she wanted . . lolss
