A lot to thank the Lord for. Thinking back to Sunday, whilst taking family to church I drove at 33mph at a 30mph camera controlled zone on Duke Street. As it was daylight it was hard to notice if the camera flashed at all. So I was worried throughout the day, with the break during church time. I thought that if we were caught on camera they would send a letter or something to us within the next few days. Well five days has passed and still no sign. My prayers to God have been answered.

Well today when Amy, Jennifer, Sam and I went to the UGC at 4pm to see the 4:30pm showing of "Catch Me When If You Can", Amy called "Four tickets for 'Catch Me If You Can'", without saying what time for. However, the boy printed tickets for the 5:50pm showing and then we found out we couldn't refund them as three of them were Unlimited tickets and to print new tickets wold mean risking our names on "the book". So we decided to just chance it and go to the 4:30pm showing with our tickets. Eventually, when we got to Screen 3, I explained to the guy and he let us in. Actually it wasn't even a marked seats showing. Phew! Thank God for helping us get through! =)

Well after coming home from cinema, as soon as I entered the door, Catherine told me that Graham told her he cannot make it to church on Sunday, therefore he cannot lead the welcome activity that he was set up. Cat said she didn't want to do it as no-one listens to her and she needs to prepare for it. Jennifer and I had Sunday School, Joe Ho would need an interpreter and Peter would not be up for it. Nora was the last hope. I phoned her house twice and it rang out. I texted her and then really hoped to God that she would agree. Eventually she texted me back and was really excited to lead it! =) Really thank God for that! Imagine she couldn't! Gosh! =)

Today we had a Worship Team B meeting at Amy's house 5:30pm. We were late at 5:35pm before we arrived and I parked the car followed by putting money into the ticket machine for a ticket to park. It was dark and the machine didn't seem to work. After putting in 40pence and pushing the green button, there was no action, no ticket. Nor was there any change when I turned the red button for return of coins. I then decided I had to use the adjacent machine, and I put my hand in the coins return tray/ slot and took out £1.51! I was so amazed! It must have been God paying me back for going to the meeting! =)

I promised God I would write about His great work for today! Found a good space to park nearer Findlay Church to start with, and even though there was light rain before church started, it eventually stopped.

The football pitch at Firhill was only damp and in much better condition compared to two weeks ago. There was very light drizzle throughout the 100 minutes but I managed to play a lot better than I did last time! I dived, saved and made my presence felt all night! Really THANK GOD! for my improved performance and fitness! We won 6-4 against Edinburgh. Came home around 7:04pm and after dinner played Rainbow Six. =)

Wow! What a day at work! Quiet at start, then VERY busy, than quiet. God out at 6:30pm to our surprise! Had the situation of timetable change meaning I cannot work Thursdays anymore. After prayer from me and mum, I spoke to Jen and she let me start 4:30pm next Thursday as a one-off and promised to change my shift to either a Wednesday or Friday! =)

Being in a good mood I was more friendly to customers etc. People actually left me tips on the tables! £1.05 being the most! Altogether got £2.02! First time ever had I got tips from working in Costa.

On the bus home I was craving for a steak pie supper from Fionda's. And I thought of today's tips etc and thought it was all God's work cos recently I started praying to Him etc. So I thought / meditated to God if it was Him who gave me this great day with the tips etc, then let there be a steak & kidney pie in Fionda's. And there was! Bought a steak pie supper, ate it at home, then washed and written this! Next I am going to play Rainbow Six: Black Thorn and / or Delta Force on the PC. I bought them both for £15 from Virgin today. Praises to God! =)

p.s. Two weeks ago I played crap at football as it was raining and stuff. I will pray for better weather for tomorrow and better performance!!

Wow! After last night's Bible Study on prayer, I put it to the test! Was meant to meet Peter Chu 4:30pm outside HMV Sauchiehall St. I arrived on time and went into Carphone Warehouse first, texted him to tell him. However, he went to Argyle Street HMV and Carphone Warehouse.

At 4:45pm, after I got Nokia 3410, I was very concerned and started praying outside HMV asking God to bring Peter to meet me soon and safely. My heart had lost hope. I was going to wait till 5:15pm the latest before I would leave. My new phone had no battery at all so I could not phone him. And wow! Around 5pm, I looked around and saw Peter walking up towards me! The doubts in my mind all vanished and I quickly meditated a sigh of praise to the Lord who answered my prayer!

That was such a good testimony on how strong prayer can be! Really thank You, God! =)
