I spent several days with my friend and former student Shelby. She lives not too far but not too close to Spring (my friend that I normally stay with). One day I went out with lunch with her and two friends/co-workers. I was struggling that day spiritually. We went and had lunch and then I went with her and one friend to a car dealership. Then, she and I continued on to Lychee Park while we waited for her friend's car to get detailed.
The park was so large and lovely! I immensely enjoyed being at that park. Everywhere was beautiful, and there were so many different parts of the park. One part had nice artwork. Janell, I thought of you while I was in that part. There were also these two, large, gnarly rock sculptures in the park. Upon first glance of the first one, I was reminded that I am a work in progress in Papa's hands; upon first glance at the second one, I was reminded that He is in control and definitely working on me to smooth that which is still quite unshapely. Shelby and I even got to hear some singing and Chinese instruments play a little later. I liked hearing the erhu and violin play together more than the singing. Later, two of the people there even danced through several songs. More exactly their dancing told the songs' stories. It was fun to watch them dance and have a good time. It also reminded me again of how different Chinese dancing is from Western dancing!
Her friend and us eventually met up to drive back to Shelby's. Like I said, I was struggling spiritually. I listened to the songs on the radio. One came on that I had never heard before, but it really spoke to me. It turns out that the song is "Welcome to Wherever You Are" by Jon Bon Jovi. Would of never thought one of his songs would have spoken to me! We also drove past by a business that was called Kingdom Logistics. I have no clue what they do, but I was reminded that I want to live by Papa's logistics (his planning) and be useful for His Kingdom.
