One More Month

Oh geez. 

It's coming real soon. 

I might be starting to freak out a little.

Yes, 

Yes I am.

  

I think I need to start packing....

Fortune cookies and Ace of Cakes

I like Chinese food.  It's true.  I have my favorites that we always get when ordering out.  I always get the same thing.  I'm a very picky and plain eater so I don't usually stray too far from the foods I already know.  But I try sometimes.  Anyways...there is one thing about getting Chinese food, no matter where you go.  They always give you a fortune cookie.  I kind of have a love/hate relationship with fortune cookies: First of all, they are NOT cookies.  That's very misleading.  I also like trying to take the fortune out of the cookie without taking it out of the bag while only breaking it once in the middle.  (Try it, it's fun).  I love them because I love reading the fortunes.  But to be honest, I don't really like the taste of them too much.  I'll eat a couple little pieces and then realize that I still don't like the taste of them enough to eat an entire cookie, even though I've heard that if you don't eat it, the fortune won't come true.  I beg to differ.

All of this to say it is most definitely clear to me that I am supposed to go to England with YWAM.  I have never been so sure of anything in my life.  You probably could have already guessed that by all my previous posts but I am just continually reminded of how true that is.  I will give you 2 examples:

Example #1: This is a real fortune cookie that I cracked open one night:

I got this the day that my visa got approved.  The approval of my visa made it a 100% for sure thing that I was going.  How crazy is that?  This fortune has definitely come true.  Today I got home from work to find a very generous check from a couple that I have never met before.  They work with my parents and just decided they wanted to support me.  That is just so incredible.  I must be doing the right thing. 

Example #2: I keep seeing things that have to do with England.  It happens almost every day.  Like tonight, I was watching Ace of Cakes and they were in London making this cake for the Globe Theatre.  No joke, I was smiling the whole time.  About every 3 minutes I would think to myself, umm, that's a big place to go to all by myself.  What am I thinking?  But then that would just make me even more excited.  Then the commercials would come on and I would relax and and breath for a second and then it would come back on and my smile wouldn't go away.  Overall, it was a good episode and I think it's safe to say that I am so incredibly excited.
