Heat Wave

suffering succotash! it has been HOT these past couple of days. i'm never a fan of hot weather, but when the first thing everyone says when they come into a room is "man is it hot!", you know it's a HOT day!

i'm so glad that my friend called me today to say that we should go out for dinner instead of cooking. i was pretty sure i was going to have a meltdown if i had to fry some chicken on a day like today. instead, i got to go eat some yummy sushi at a little place in queen anne called shiki. it was very good, but sadly it had regular sushi prices. but that's ok, eating sushi in a/c with a great friend makes it all worth it.

after that we headed on over to cbc for the new cup cafe. i have to say that i was a bit wary about going tonight with my friend. i didn't know what the night was going to be like, and...well, to be honest, i was lacking faith and being real critical about it. i was afraid and worried that the night was going to be too "preachy" or that my friend would feel uncomfortable, but God was Faithful...like always!

God provided great friends that made my friend feel comfortable and she had a great night chatting and relaxing. the message of the night was a little on the "preachy" side, but it didn't turn her away like i thought it would. and i was even amazed that she actually wanted to stay and hang out after it was done. *sigh* why do i always lack faith in these things!

i just began reading Daniel as part of my 2:7 reading, and the thing that struck me in the first 2 chapters was how the author kept emphasizing God's role in all things.: the Lord delivered :: God had caused :: God gave :: He changes :: He gives :: He reveals :: He knows :: He has made :.

i realized the reason i worried so much about tonight is b/c i wasn't seeing it as God was in control, but rather i focused on the "program" and "people" as being the controlling factor. *boo* will i ever learn?!
