Today was quite a day. I was having some friends over to make sushi in the evening, so this morning I thought I should prepare the rice, so that I could have it ready this evening when I came home after classes. But there was no more rice at home. Grrr. Got worried because that means that I will be more rushed when I get home. Then the story of Jesus turning the water into wine came into my mind. That wedding party in Cana was almost a disaster, but Jesus saved it by turning the water into wine. God is watching over the dinner tonight and I prayed that even if things weren't perfect, people could have a good time.
After classes I went shopping with Winnie. Salmon sashimi (check), sushi seaweed (check), Japanese rice (check), wasabi (check), great - looks like I've got everything. Whoops. Where are my keys? Grrrrr....
I left my keys at home, but after a call to my wonderful parents (who were on their way to their Valentine's day dinner), they drove back to deliver the keys to me and my friends, who were waiting in the Macdonalds near my place. Lifted up the evening to God, remembering again what Jesus did in Cana. He cares about people having a good time. I'm glad I never have to do things on my own wisdom and strength, but can always rely on God. The evening turned out great, I really enjoyed myself.
Thanks to everyone who left comments! When will you come back to visit, Jacqui? Thanks for signing up just to read my blog, Mel! Pearl, Dawn, Joyce, Gordo, thanks!
Happy Valentine's Day! Next year, I'll be able to make sushi for the lucky guy.
