Happy Platypus Day everyone!
So I know God has plans and we may not always know them, but there is a reason none the less. My God is good.
I made plans with a friend to ride to East Lansing on the train to come for a visit. But the train was delayed. It was delayed for over two hours, and then I heard a knock on the door and was surprised to find my friend on the other side of the door. I was like, "Hello Friend!"
My day consisted of eating one pancake, because we made exactly two. I prayed aloud for the food, and it was amazing. I am very thankful that God gave me the words to say. Then we hopped into the car to go to the earliest matinee and saw the Lorax. It was good, surprisingly musical. The theater was also filled with crying, little children, and no, I am not describing my friend. Haha :)
First I want to say I was so proud of my choices today. No popcorn or sweets. I even said no to pop at the movie theater. In case I was hungry I brought some nuts to snack on. I can't believe it has only been a week and I feel cut off from the world, and hungry all the time.
Then my friend and I flew over to the Bird house and had homemade pizza, with homemade crust. We also played games, which were really fun. I have never played Fluxx before. Its interesting and the rules change every round. Another game I haven't played before was called Bezzerwizzer. It's a trivia game, which I found out I do really bad on. Then we played a tantalizing round of Apples to Apples.
After the games we went to Jo-Ann's Fabrics. That was not as fun as the games, I was really tired and just wanted to go back and rest.
Then we had dinner at Qdoba's. It was amazing. I love that kind of Mexican food. My friend had never seen Kung Fu Panda or Kung Fu Panda 2, so we watched them. She laughed and I was happy too.
It snowed, and not the kind of snow where it doesn't stick. Michigan's weather is so unbelievable sometimes.
If you are wondering, why I told you all this. I will tell you because God blessed me with this friend that loves me despite everything that went awry with our plans. God always had a Plan B. We had a fun time and we laughed and had God moments.
To end this I will say, God always has the best in mind for us. How do I know you ask? I have been feeling down, and God brought me laughter and friends today. He gave me 2-3 hours of stimulation through games. He gave me an entertaining night of panda-monium. He gave me snow. He gave me peace and a quiet house to praise and worship Him.
