day 338.
(yesterday)
talked to a nice lady at tim hortons. I was downtown at st. lawrence market and the lady asked if she could sit at the table I was sitting at. She sat down soon enough and began to talk to me about her encounter with this "teen" while she was paying for her food. The lady was waiting in line and like everyone else, she turned around to look around her surroundings. There happened to be young female teen behind her and this teen gave her a grumpy look. The lady was surprised and the teen began to "cuss" (her words) at her, making rude comments for looking that teen. The teen's sister then asked the lady, "Why are you staring at her?" in a condescending tone. The lady said, "I was just looking around". Haha, hearing her tell me that story was really funny. I couldn't help but smile. I did manage to squeeze in a reply. I told her not to take it at heart. Teens are teens, haha. In the end, before I left, I told her to forget about it and enjoy her meal. She then sipped her coffee and began eating her bagel. :) It was a nice encounter. Sometimes I act so awkward with strangers around that I miss the joy of being with them and hear what they have to say :P I mean, with this encounter, hhahaa if you look back at this story, you would chuckle....the female teen was hahhaa, hilarious. :P on thing that comes to mind is that we need to be mindful of our actions and also our tongues! (James 3) I definitely need to work on taming my tongue; what comes out as praising cannot come out cursing as well (James 3:10). You can only have one. Which would you choose? And this personally is really hard for me >< I tend to be really sarcastic, which then makes me sound very harsh, or rather not loving at all. I need to ask God to first forgive me of my cursing and also to help me be aware of what I say (think before I speak); also thank Him for forgiving and helping me. What grace! God is so good!
(today)
Pastor Tony Costa spoke today, ultimately asking the question, "Do you surrender your all to Jesus?". When we sing the song, 'All to Jesus, I surrender', do we really surrender our all? This question really challenged and well, haha, questioned me the whole day and this definitely tells me that I need to think about this. To be frank, right now, I am definitely not surrendering my everything to Jesus. And this is me being 100% honest. This is something I am struggling with. I can think of plenty of things that distract me from surrendering everything. I praise God that Pastor Costa came and spoke today and reminded me to think of what it means to "surrender" my all. :) it makes me happy haha cause I took notes! I hope to post up my thoughts and also my notes soon after prayer and looking through my notes again :D
& watched Despicable Me again! This movie now one of my favourite movies list. The movie just makes me smile from beginning to end!! :D :D :D :D
so point is, all to Jesus, I surrender?
