Day 158.

Today, my intended act of love was a fail. My parents told me last night they would come out to Chinatown today to pick up stuff for Nicaragua. They needed me to take them around so I told my mom to just call me and I'd meet them. When I did meet them, I was just cranky and impatient. It was a mixture of my intolerance for heat and miscommunication. I don't know why, but whenever my parents don't understand what I'm saying I immediately get ticked off. I just expect them to understand me which is so stupid of me since I don't understand what they say straight off the bat. And I was also in a rush so I was rushing them having them speed walk all over Chinatown in the heat and snapping at that, giving attitude. TERRIBLE! I get pissy when people are disrespectful and here I am doing just that. I need to ask for forgiveness. God, give me the humility and courage to do so..

HAHA.

Day 157.

So an away friend had the desire to intentionally create community so he decided to start a summer small group for Brooklyn folk. I asked him if there was anything I could do to help and he asked me to get snacks so got some fruit. YAY for community!

HAHA.

feel so loved

I feel so loved this past Sunday by my third SURPRISE baby shower by a group of lovely middle schoolers! My husband had a men shower with the high schoolers and got a HUGE ipad 3 as the gift! =D

Day 156.

Everyone had something to do or somewhere to go today so by dinner time it was just me and my cousin. When we got hungry, we figured out what we wanted and I treated us to dinner. Over the past semesterish, we've grown closer and more comfortable with each other so I'm :).

HAHA.

Days 153-155.

Went to the beach with friends on Thursday. It was one of me close friend's birthday so I decided to get him a cake. I met up with another friend before heading over to the beach. We decided to meet at a Dunkin Donuts but he was running late so I got his drink for him. After the beach, my momma was really patient and nice enough to pick us up and drive us to our house. She was awesomely awesome and cooked us up a lot of food. Thaaaanks momma!

Treated a friend to lunch on Friday. Just a gesture of thanks for always being a wonderfully supportive, food loving, encouraging, and laughter starting friend that's helped out a lot this past year.

A friend I haven't seen in a year moved into my neighborhood so we went to get dinner. It was good to catch up with her and see how she's been. Even though she's currently jobless, she was willing to pay more of the bill. I'm lucky to still be living with my family and don't have to worry about rent and all of that so I offered to pay a couple bucks more. Her liveliness is really encouraging to me and makes me wish I would mature up faster.

HAHA.

New Study This Summer!

Congrats to ALL college people who finished this semester (or your college life)!

I've been praying about the continuation of our Bible study group this summer... What to study and who could lead the group, etc. I strongly feel that connecting with our Father in heaven is what all of us need NOW as when we stay connected with God, He will begin to transform our lives to His likeness! So, this summer we will have a 12-week study on "spiritual reformation"-- getting closer to the source of our lives. stay tuned!

P.S. Having been limping around coz of sciatica, aka pregnancy caused sciatic nerve pain. Feel much loved by a husband who purchased TWO donut cushions for me, a great doctor who refuse to charge me, and a lovely sister who's willingly accompany me to the doctor's office. God is good.

Days 151-152.

Had a meeting yesterday and one member of the planning team volunteered to host the meeting at her place. She even offered to treat everyone to dinner. I've only recently met her since we started planning and didn't want to go empty handed so I bought some drinks over. She even had fruits and cake!

So I've been helping someone and she's been helping me by giving me a part time job. Yesterday was my 4th day and it didn't go so well. Tried to brush it off as yesterday and go back today with a good attitude so I bought some iced coffee for me and for the person I'm helping. Didn't go so well, but got through the day :)

HAHA.
