timing

a shower waits for the spring,
a bug waits for the summer,
a pumpkin waits for the fall,
and a snowflake waits for the winter.
God's timing is perfect!

Waterloo rain

When is rains in Waterloo it does not pour,
It drizzles or spits as the Brits would say.
you can not feel the rain drops,
but before you know it your t-shirt is wet,
and your hair has dew on its tips like the morning grass.
the weather is always so dim when it rains,
like the day was stuck in an hour of dawn.
You feel like being stuck with it,
and get away with not doing anything for awhile.

Fever miracles

After hitting near 40 with my fever two little miracles happened that I want to share with you.

First happened when I was stuck in the car waiting for my parents to come back from the shopping center. My fever was at its worst, and on top of that I was long overdue in using the washroom. The car was now filled with the germs from my chronic cough, and the bottle I was using to cool my head wasn't cool anymore. so in my moment of helplessness, I prayed to God, that if this is a test, I will pass it and stay faithful to Him. Soon after I decided to open the car door to let in some fresh air. To my surprise the car alarm rang! honk! honk! honk! So I started to struggle in the car, breathing heavily through my large cough mask, and the people outside looked in very angrily at me. Eventually it stopped, but the whole experience scared the sweat out of me, and helped lower my fever temperature for just a few hours :D

Second miracle was when I was half asleep and on the third day of my fever. I prayed to God for healing. I was depressed. My fever seemed hopeless like many things I was worried about in my life. I reflected on many of them, and my conclusion was I reaffirmed to God that He was the only thing that I will place all my trust and hope in. After the prayer a verse came to mind - Psalm 23. The part about how my cup overflows. I then pored whatever water was remaining in the water bottle into my water cup. Amazingly it filled it to the brim exactly, and I was urged to drink it all in one sip by who knows what! I obliged, and the fever never came back.

advice

Throughout my life, my Mom gave me the advice of

"if you have something to do, do it right away".

I will start to listen to that advice now!

Missing sing apore

In Singapore, I am seen as a sloth like person.
After leaving Singapore for a few days now,
I am just now starting to miss it.
I am a few days late.
slowly but surely, my senses have caught up with me though,
and it realizes all the things that are missing now.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad to be back in Canada.
but its so different here I wonder if the trip ever happened at all.
could have very well been a long coma dream I had.
Then I look up on my staple board,
and I see the pictures and notes and gifts I was given.
So it wasn't just a dream eh!
I couldn't have wrote and made those in a dream!
my good buddies did.
