Country Manna

yesterday yesterday yesterday
i suggested lunching out with my parents after the gym session..
my dad suggested eating at a nonya restaurant at serangoon..
and i could tell that his mind was on the curry fish head that the restaurant offers..
however i had other plans in my stomach.
what i wanted was some american cuisine with meat/protein in it, not nonya food or any chinese food.
my mind was just billy bombers all the time, however i did not sound out.
I told my Father, "since i asked my parents out for lunch, might as well just subject myself to their tastes and preferences."
low and behold, when we have reached the place at serangoon area, we found out that the restaurant was nowhere in sight. apparently it had closed down and thai express took its place.
well thai express is one of my favourite eating places as well but my dad doesn't like it.

Then my parents suggested eating at country 'mama', which has american cuisine on its menu.
it was just across the road and we went for it.
in my mind, heart and mouth, i was just thanking God all the way as He answered my food prayer!

Then the Spirit just told me this "subject to your parents like Jesus did, and He grew in favor with God and men"
and God's favour was on me, so much so that the restaurant closed down for my eating sake.
just when i already prepared myself to go with my parents' taste preferences.

and when i finished my lunch, i was just fiddling with those paper promotion slips placed on the table. and low and behold! the name of the restaurant isn't country 'mama' but country MANNA.

God's provision for me for the day~

anyways my boss asked me back for work tomorrow after lunch
well i was actually waiting for his call since last week.
since i've already settled this with God, i don't mind the work unto me, so that Christ can be glorified.
though i don't know the difficulty of the work ahead of me, and that fear usually comes because of the unknown,
i shall still proclaim that God is my helper, who can be against me?

as i met up with my male buds yesterday
i just felt... kinda out of place.
two of my male buds were talking about cars cars and cars.
having driven what so and so cars.
talking about clubbing.

while i was all the while behind at the passenger seat, being slightly annoyed at the things that were being talked about, and maybe because they were conversing in chinese.
seriously there and then, i just yearned so much for Godly fellowship instead.
instead of so and so cars that do not interest me much.
and the usual army stories about speeding and stuff.
and as usual my friends asked me out for this wed night.
but i declined.

if i don't really listen much to hip hop rnb music, how much more would i want to go to such worldly places and get tempted?

i would rather stay at home and rest after training, or take up a book and read.
