This week, a dear old man passed away. He was 81 years old and a jolly fellow! He was always happy and always prepared with a joke whenever I would greet him at church. I have enjoyed lunch dates with him and his wife (when I would run into them while doing errands, they are sweet enough to invite me). I have blushed at his giving away of any of his grandkids to me and my cousin for ‘marriage’ (yes he is quite the king of blarney). I have enjoyed conversations with him about education, children, and faith.
To a man I would have fond memories of, good bye and I hope I shall see you again soon. Thank you for providing encouragement in the little ways you did, and for being one of the people in church that I enjoy talking to. I shall miss you.
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord (psalm 40:1-3)
The Week in Review:
Due to busyness of schedule, I have not been able to type up my blog entries. I queue blog entries most of the time so that they can be properly edited and read before they are published. However, due to many contributing reasons, I was not able to type up entries in awhile. I have a phone that I can use to update my blog, but I find more comfort in using a keyboard to type away rather than swype my thoughts into existence. Another reason is that I’ve received a bunch of reading materials for review and for work as well.
This week was busy. Meeting friends all around the Bay area and spending time with friends and family before school and work hits again! Thursday was the day I went to the city and met up with one of my guy friend’s close friends. It was awesome spending the day with her. We had lots to talk about and it just felt like we already knew each other for years. After that, i had to rush back and meet another friend so that we could drive to San Jose and have dinner at Boiling Crab (spicy plus seafood equals yum!). Friday was bible study and I spent some time with Belle before and after. Today was time with my grandaunts. They live so far away, but during the few times that I see them in a year, they are a delight to talk to and just spend time with.
Last day of break tomorrow, still figuring out how to spend it. This might mean that blog entries would somewhat be sporadic, but I shall still try to blog responsibly once I get my schedule running in order.
