last day of training! brain is mush. but i've learned a lot and hopefully will take most of it back to a gorgeous new store :D.
after work, we went shopping - to two malls and a maze of outlet stores. 2 kind of cool things happened ...
i was sitting outside starbucks, and could see a kid further up the mall who looked so much like ashlin. and i was missing her so much, and all of a sudden she texted me! it made my day. i love my nieces and nephew. they're fun people.
another cool thing that happened was at the end of the night. a girl walked up to me, and she was like 'you seem so familiar! do i know you from somewhere?' and i was like 'i don't think so - i'm not from in town. i'm janelle.' and she was like 'i'm janelle!" and then she introduced her friend, and they said that they (young people from their church) walk through the mall on friday nights and pray for people who stand out to them ... and then she asked if they could pray for me, and about anything in particular.
and then, right there in the mall, she did. and i thought it would've been awkward and weird, but it was really awesome and i am so glad she did.
it made God feel so close. even in the food court of the mall.
so thanks, winnipeg. it's been a weird and difficult and good week.
tomorrow: patrick. <3
God always knows when we need to feel Him close. He is so full of grace!
ReplyDeleteon that note, we were trying to get to our car after school yesterday, amid raging winds and rain, when Laurie whispered to me, "God loves us!" and pointed excitedly to the most exquisite formation of birds flying effortlessly on the crazy wind!! Thanks for giving them that connection!
