Back in Waterloo...

A 25-hour journey from the church in Taipei to my place in Waterloo...boy was it a long and interesting one. Travel from church to airport started at 11.5am local time, and involves my whole family plus mesister's boyfriend (soon to be part of the family?...heh). The flight to Vancouver was very bumpy, but I felt ok with it. The interesting thing is the guy sitting beside me started talking to me from the moment he sat down, and by the end of the flight, I've got a new friend...first time it has happened. The customs and the luggage were extremely quick, like it has never happened that way before... In Vancouver, Mo, Stan and Gini came to spend some time with me, going to Richmond for a meal and then getting lost everywhere...heh. It's so nice to spend the 5-hour layover this way. I pretty much passed out for the flight from Vancouver to Toronto, so it felt pretty short. In Toronto, we arrived early (9:40pm as opposed to 10pm), but the luggage didn't arrive until 10:40pm. I was surprised and delighted that Clarence and Li Zhen came to pick me up (Mary came as well, but didn't pick me up as planned...heh). And I drove home, with just enough energy, and with a detour through McD's and Sobey's... By the time I got home, it was around 12.5am here. So there it is, my journey back to Waterloo...

Even something as simple as toothbrush and toothpaste showed God's blessing. Here's the thing: I needed to replace my toothbrush and add stock to my toothpaste soon, because the ones that I brought back from Taiwan are trashworthy. Coming back to Waterloo, Clarence decided that he wanted to go to Sobey's to get toothbrush and toothpaste (strange request, I'd think?), and I thought I might as well go with that and buy some myself. Even as we were inside the store, I had a brief moment where I thought maybe I'll just buy them later...but decided to buy them there anyway. Then I came home, and discovered that I've actually forgotten to bring my toothbrush and toothpaste from Taiwan...so, if any one step in the above process had gone wrong, I wouldn't have clean teeth right now...heh. I don't know, I just felt like that's too strange a coincidence that it must have been that God wanted me to have clean teeth...

Ok, start of my supposedly stressful day which will not be stressful if only I can rely wholly on Jesus...
