Predestined?

These past few days have been pretty insane. It seems like God is taking me places for specfic purposes, it is really awesome to be used by God. I'll start from the beginning, as Monday's post probably doesn't reveal much.

Monday:

I go downtown for three days (Mon - Wed) for Showcase Ontario 2008 (BABY!) - a tech conference dedicated to the hard-working members of the Ontario Public Service. This first day was okay, went to some of the booths...got some free stuff. I suddenly felt the urge to go visit Ryerson (I was planning to at least on Wednesday), so off I went.

I Got there, made some calls...couldn't reach anyone. So I went shopping for a while. Then I got hungry, so decided to go have lunch (at Chicken place...because it's like drugs). At which point, I ran into my friend, Janny. We had a pretty good spiritual talk. Catching up and things. I like her. She's one of those people who you can see Christ in all aspects of her life.

I went back to the conference to catch my final class. I was an hour late, and the guy finished an hour early. Decided to grab a coffee and spend some time with Jesus. Took the GO train home with Kelly Chan. She took some of my free stuff.

Also exercised for the first time in weeks. It was not so pleasant.

Tuesday:

Conference again, this time with the co-ops. It was a lot more fun this time, because the main expo opened today. We developed a strategy while waiting for it to open to maximize our opportunities to get free stuff. Highlights include pen-highlighters, a pen that is also a usb-stick, a kinetic flashlight, steel water bottles, and more. I skipped all my classes on Tuesday, because the expo was so much more interesting. We also went to eat kbbq for lunch.

After lunch, called it quits early. Went to Starbucks and spent some time with God. After, took the train home with Kelly. She decides that it would be a great time to announce she wants more free stuff...and that she wants to help out with Zoe. I was pretty excited, because I pray and knew and called it (ask Felix) that she was supposed to help. So that really pumped me up. :D

Evening, had a Zoe meeting. I shouldn't have taken a nap beforehand. I felt out of the zone. It was still good. Everyone is pretty passionate about bringing change to our fellowship. I feel kinda "green" in the leadership thing, but so far so good. Imma trust that the HS guides me true.

Wednesday:

Not as much free stuff. No one was really there. I toured around some more, and attended my classes. Stephen Lewis was there, I'll dedicate another post to my thoughts on his speech on another day. It was disturbing for me. I had lunch with a co-worker one on one. It was pretty good, learning about his life and what he was up to. I revealed that I was Christian, and he was like "Really? Cool!". So I'll talk to him more in the future.

Had dinner with Kevin Leung, and we ran into Sabina. The three of us ate together. McDonalds barely counts as dinner. Anyways, we talked and she told me what was going on with her. I pray that she comes to Zoe on Saturday, I think she will...but haven't prayed enough to be 100% sure. Well, I told Vicki to pray for her...so maybe Vicki will cover. :D

Went to CCF after dinner. I am pretty sure that God has closed the door on this ministry. Maybe I'll drop by now and then, but I don't think my presence there will affect anything. It's nice to see them, and I miss them all tremendously. But, for now.. I don't feel called to do anything there.

Had some pleasant talks with some of the newcomers... I am excited for them, too. Cuz there are some strong Christians coming in...and it is true that every Chinese Christian is connected somehow.

Thursday:

Had to do real work today. I also talked to my co-worker about her son who has an absess on his ear. He is in the hospital right now. Imma pray for him.

After work, I went to a bible study my friend, Ayrine invited me to. I got there before she did. "I'm here for the Bible Study"...is a line I never thought I would use. Their pastor made fun of my clothes. We did a study on Calvinism versus Arminianism. To be fair, I thought it was a balanced view on both sides, but it turned out to be Pro-Calvinism. It was interesting, I may attend next week if so called to it. :P

Getting home was pretty quick. Once I entered the house, it seemed like every room I entered had a purpose for me being there.

I entered Family Room - Mom, Dad, and I talked about our day. Which is pretty rare.
Went to Basement - to check e-mail, then head to bed. Remembered had to bring stuff to work for co-worker via e-mail.
Went to Bedroom - to find stuff, realized I had to send an e-mail to Marc about visiting Pastor.
Went to Basement - wrote e-mail.
Went to Bedroom - Bible Reading Time! Decided to read more on Calvinism and Arminianism from my Theology book. Remembered Essay On Computer in basement.
Went to Basement - read essay, checked e-mail, realized Vince and KY had sent stuff..sent stuff back.
went to Bed...tired.

It was kind of like a re-cap of the week. Everywhere I went had purpose. It was pretty insane. I pray that every week can be like this.. but I may get tired. :/ I'll pray for His strength. :D
