today

Today good things happened.

This week I've been allowing myself to get stressed out about somethings happening in and around my life. I cannot begin to tell you why, I just did.
Today, as the day went on, the stresses began to fade. I hung out with a friend from home(Toronto), who brought me presents from some wonderful friends(thanks, girlies...I'll thank you both individually), and I was able to show him around my new neighborhood(or the one I've been living in this year). It was really great. He got to meet some of my friends from the community and hear their stories. He also got to experience a little bit of the ministry that I'm involved in here - cause I walked him around and took him through some alleys(some of the nicer one's I might add!).
Honestly, it was nice to be able to show him who I am now. Not just tell him through e-mails or when I'm home.
I walked him home(sounds funny, I know) and as I was walking back, I felt peace for the first time in days, peace was with me. I felt blessed. I am blessed.
Now, it is time for sleep...I signed myself up for a 5-8am war room(prayer room) shift tomorrow...what was I thinking?!? Blessed, I know.
