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.
