Random spurts

(added on later) My mentor from my old church is in the hospital. I don't know what happened. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER!!!!!!

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.

-Proverbs 19:21

I am willing to wait... I think we're going to see each other at Christmas. My heart was beating and a bit worried that he might have lost his way or something... but it's okay, he was helping at church. I think in the future I'm going to update myself more about the events at his church, because I think sometimes they ask him to help with stuff last minute... It's okay, I was prepared to see him and not see him, I guess it just wasn't the right time.

It's a bittersweet Thanksgiving, because Jess lost her father just a few days ago. I cried today too, and gave Jess a big hug at church. The Bible lesson I taught the little kids today was about resurrection and life, and God's love that is the most powerful thing in the world. I think it relates a lot to this situation... That we can trust that we will see Uncle Laurence again in heaven one day.

I'm very glad that Jenny and Thuy could make it today. It was good to hang out with Faye some more too! She's such a sweet girl. Aaron was so nice to bring us over to his house. He has a big interest in opening up his house to people, so nice of him. There's nothing quite like it, this bond between friends. Here's a song that celebrates the love of friends... (I posted the same song twice, but in two different versions, because I just like it so much...)



Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love? How about love?
How about love? Measure in love
Seasons of love. Seasons of love

JOANNE
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

COLLINS
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

ALL
It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

JOANNE(while ALL sing)
Oh you got to got to
Remember the love!
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love spread love
Measure measure your life in love.
