The morning started with a surprise fire alarm, which of course must have been a false alarm. I don't remember much of what I did in the morning, but I certainly remember what happened in the afternoon. I spent the entire afternoon and evening with Kai and Sophie! First time I saw them in months, so that was nice. They wanted to buy tables and chairs...first we tried Staples, but that didn't work. The idea of Ikea (heh...it rhymes) came up, and we went back to Kai's place to search for its location on the internet, which was not working...after that was fixed, we headed off to Burlington. They took a long long LONG time to decide on their choice of tables and chairs...heh. It's just so funny to see their discussions. Ikea really is an interesting place...even I wanted to buy some table and chair from there, only that I'm not so willing to shell out that much money. Kai and Sophie went for the lower-end version, but still cost a lot... Came back to Waterloo, spent some time in Conestoga, which included me at the end running across a closed mall to get my car from one end of the mall to the other end...heh. Finished with a dinner at "Every house happy" and moving stuffs into Kai's place. We were all very exhausted, that's for sure. At least I didn't stay home and do nothing, that's the good thing.

Random notes...

• I took my mPod with me during the fire alarm, making it the first time the pod has gone outdoors. I was singing along with the worship songs playing in the pod...I hope I didn't sing too loud...heh.
• It was a pretty hot day, actually. Not as hot as some of the heat wave days this past summer, but still pretty hot...29 degrees registered on my car. Good thing the thunderstorm cooled things down qutie a bit.
• Still no decision on the wedding vs puzzle thingie. Sigh...I really want to make a decision soon... Still need wisdom from God to make it...
• Boy, Kai and Sophie could eat...a lot.
• The topics that myf will go with this semester are occupying my mind a bit. When I raised the suggestion of studying God's characters, I really didn't know that they would actually be in favour of it and go for it, simply because I thought it would be quite difficult to prepare for. But now I keep encountering things that could be shared through this series of Bible studies... Today I read about God's omnipresence. God is everywhere. It's not right for me to ask for God to come to me, He's already here! Instead, I need to realize His presence everywhere, all the time. It's going to take some time for the adjustment...

I'm grateful to God for...

• the spectacular display of a thunderstorm this evening;
• the joy in seeing and connecting with Kai and Sophie again;
• the opportunity to help out and spend time with Kai and Sophie;
• His protection in all the travels and getting lost today; and
• being with me everywhere I go, all the time.
