« Pieces of You »

Today was the last time us uni people shall see each other before they all run off, doing their own things during the summer til September arrives.

I was reprimanded by the Lord very sharply today. I was in Quality Save (AWESOME shop! in picadilly gardens, next to Marks&Spencer!!), just swiftly sweeping a few snacking items to pass the time whilst I waited for Ibi. I bought the popcorn, chocolate dip things and some love hearts. It came to a total of £1.88, of which I paid £10 for. So the change was £8.12...all in pound coins. I moved on in the queue to allow other people to pay for their items, but I checked and in a very conceited, contemptuous manner, I thought to myself that I could go back and tell her to keep the change of 12p; the pound coins are all that mattered. Yet, it took only the time lightning takes to blitz the earth, to realize that it's the pennies that make the pound coins. I realized that YES, one hundred pennies make up a pound...and although it's value is greater, it took eight hundred of those pennies to make up those pound coins. Similarly, regardless of people's position or role in God's kingdom, with whatever talent they've been imparted with by the big man Himself, they are there to make up the BIGGER picture. Even if you serve the tea in church and that's ALL you do in church for the next ten years, this SMALL act contributes towards the church's image of hospitality offered through its refreshment services and so on and so forth. After being humbled by this fact...I guess I carried on with a smaller head and less worry about my future. Every penny counts.

So the gang ended up with me

The lot of us went to Pizza Express to engage in some strange conversation, with a dash of eccentric behaviour, plenty of laughs and an overpriced, but healthy, pizza. Afterwards, we went to a bar called "Simple", which was very well hidden. Haha, after half an hour of awkward silence and settling down, readjusting our mental states and aligning our behaviour according to the context of our surroundings, we had MORE laughs! We also saw RIO FERDINAND there. It was great to see someone of his status going to a small, local bar. He didn't explicitly go there to integrate himself within the local populace, but he didn't shun anyone either. Was cool. Am SURE he's bigger on TV!! Haha.

It was a good night. I'm glad I've been blessed with these friends. God provides naturally. After they left, I held onto the pieces they've sown into my heart. Good friends for every time, not just the bad or good.

Uni will make you. Just keep chasing Him.
