incredulousWell, well, well....it's finally that day!
I am now 26. With great power of the 2 and 6, I sure am having a great time. My day has started off very well; in fact, so well that I've had quite the surprises today (and I love surprises). While I have much to say about what I am going to do in my new year, I just want to share a little of what has happened so far (hence the part 1 in the title, part 2 to come later when I get home later tonight).
First, this day started off with the reading of Proverbs 1, which deals with the beginning on wisdom, which is the fear of the Lord! Next, I got ready to head out for the day and part of that included a nice clean shave (with some minor cuts, ouch!!!). Thirdly, I decided to wear a short pants outfit (which is all gray) that I used to wear as a kid. Since I've grown so much, I can fit in it just perfectly now (it was waaaay big when I was a kid). Next, my second family picked me up from the bookstore parking lot and we headed off to Denny's. I was originally planning to go alone, but my second mother was so interested in going that she sent my little sisters in her stead to go along with me. So, we all ordered gram slams at the restaurant and talked about some interesting things like evolution and other fun stuff. After a very unexpected surprise, we went browsing around at Petsmart. My animal magnetism shaved off my legs caused two dogs came my way: one wanted to shake paws, the other must've enjoyed my muscular legs and felt the need to have a lick! After browsing around for awhile, Mom #2 came and picked us up and dropped me off at Gamestop, where I picked up three games (one was my planned b-day gift the others was to take advantage of the sales of 50% Sweet!!!!!!). My second family gave me some ties that looked very cool; unfortunately, I couldn't carry them with me to show off to everyone, so I'll wear them on Sunday instead after I get them back either later tonight or tomorrow!!! (Thank you again; you all have done so much for me, I can't thank you enough!!!)
So, at Gamestop, while I got three games, I played some Mariokart Wii for a while and then headed off to the arcade and played some games there (I finally beat Geese on Capcom VS SNK 1, yaaaaayyy!). I also played The Simpsons Game (a classic favorite) but that darn controller wasn' working; the control stick was messed up, but at least I got far enough to enjoy my token! After that, I left the arcade and played two other game machines around the mall, on the way out. I played Marvel VS Capcom (another classic) but the controls on that thing was absolutely terrible! I also played the classic Mortal Kombat 4, with my main Specter, Scorpion. I got my head bashed in by that windy head Fuijin!!! Oh well.....but, here's the best part of the day so far!
I got to witness to a man named James today at the Beltway Plaza. After using the WOTM approach, I gave him a track and headed on my way. I surely hope he reads it and will be in need of your prayers (I greatly appreciate; I also find this appropriate since I"m teaching a lesson on evangelism tonight). I walked from the mall to the Greenbelt Metro (yes, walked...it was a nice day, not too hot) and there something else unexpectedly happened. After analyzing my funds, I got a card and ran into the train (had like 2 minutes left) and then took a nap after taking some nice pics of me on the metro. However, as I got on my transfer train I noticed that my 8 bucks were gone!!!! Um...those eight bucks was what I needed for the metro on the way home (just in case I didn't get a ride home); Must've dropped it back at the station or it fell out of my pocket on the first time. Either way, God has blessed someone with 8 dollars today! The Lord bless them indeed. Yeah, I was pretty disappointed, but having learned to be wise, I just simply thank God for what I did have and that He got me this far; thank you, Lord...I mean, compared to last year, I have alot. So, again, Lord, thank you; He giveth, He taketh. Amen!!!
What's next...well, I'm at PC (that's short for Pentagon City) and I"m about to go eat at the Kabuki; my favorite place to eat here. Then, I'm just going to go straight to the church after this instead of waiting for a while. Besides, it's rush hour and I need to make sure I get the 5:30 bus there to Hillcrest so I can make prayer service and probably spend some time writing. My birthday has been great so far and has had plenty of laughs (I crack myself up sometimes that you can see the cracks on my face and legs...I don't have any lotion, lol)! Overall, my 26th birthday has been a huge blessing and it's not over yet. The best part is yet to come, aside from that witnessing opportunity I had earlier. Thank the Lord for that! God bless and I"ll be back with part 2 later! Blessings!!!
