I'm not trying to be gross
but i get a lot of ideas when i go #2.

Yesterday at the loo, i started thinking about what God has done for me this year.

First thing that sprung in my head was this summer. I was so blessed with the opportunity to learn French and to travel around central Europe. I consider it such a blessing because it was my first time being independent and just the fact that I had the financial ability to afford such trips in itself was an amazing gift from Him.

One specific incident i started to think about was the weekend I lost my wallet, in Vienna.
When that incident happened, it was late at night already, so we just decided to go home. I was crying (i like to keep my emotions on the DL because i don't like to "bother" people) and i missed my mommy (literally). At the same time, one of my friends was wearing heels so she was complaining the whole time about how her foot hurt. The whole night she was yapping on and on about her foot, I wasn't in the mood for anything, and it was HOT as HECK in Vienna that weekend (42 degrees). We had this little fight because she wanted to take the cab, but i refused to because i didn't have money but i just blankly stated, "no" and did not want to bring out the fact that I lost my wallet because i didn't want anybody to feel bad.

So let's recap the series of unfortunate events:
i) my friend's foot hurt and she wanted to take the cab
ii) it was late at night and we just all wanted to go home
iii) i lost my wallet
iv) i missed my family and friends
v) i did not have a cell phone because it ran out of minutes and my other sim card was in the wallet which was stolen
vi) i did not have money to afford the cab and didn't want anybody to pay for me
vii) and we missed the last bus so we had to end up walking for 5k

I think there's more, oh yes, i guess it's the intensity rolled into a ball of within one hour, that just made me super blue.
Anyway at that time i just kept praying, and crying, behind all my friends because i didn't want them to see i was crying.

And then...(this is the best part)
Suddenly, i felt a gush of wind.
It wasn't so hot anymore!
maybe you're thinking, "big deal", but no! You don't understand, throughout the WHOLE week in brno and vienna, it was SOO hot everybody was literally rolling and sleeping in a swimming pool, we were constantly drenched in our own sweat, there was NO air con, and it was SO sunnny and stuffy in our dorm rooms.

In the midst of my sadness, and "hotness" (pun intended. j/k haha), God comforted me with cool, breezy, wind. :)
As I walked down the BEAUTIFUL streets of Vienna, with all the amazing architecture and majestic churches, i felt God's presence and comfort! It was SOO nice :)

YAY!
Wait there's more!
When we returned to Brno (Czech Republic) from Vienna the next night, we saw a DOUBLE RAINBOW! A gift of the promise from God that he's always there for me.

So good!
the lord is so good to meeeeeeeeeeeeee
