of green tea and ramen

it all happened rather suddenly. angie comes bounding into the office and declares let’s go to Ochacha! i’m like, “what??!?!?!!?” and then with much excitement she attempts to explain. i have no clue. but she is clearly excited. then mervin reinforces. ‘you have to try this’. so i’m like ok, whatever. then i come out and tiffany is there. and she soon realises that i have also agreed to go to O ChaCha! she is beside herself with excitement. she cannot believe that i, too, am going! and that’s how i ended up at OCha Cha!

and then as a simple thank you lunch to nic for serving as an intern these past 8 months, we went to this japanese place along the AYE. after three attempts to find the right turn off, we found ourselves stationary on the AYE between two roads, not sure where to go! very exciting! we finally find the place, and nic orders some Ramen. NICE!

useless prayer

Scripture: Proverbs 28:9 (MSG) | God has no use for the prayers of the people who won’t listen to him.

wow.

it’s amazing how often we want God to listen to us. We want God to listen to our prayers. But in actual fact, we have no real desire to listen to Him, or to be committed to what He has to say to us. it’s absolutely fair for God to say our prayers are useless if our expectation is to have God respond to us,when we have no intent on listening or responding to Him.
