This is a reminder of why a day of rest is so important, and why we do need to take time to rest. God knew that we needed this when He established the Sabbath day and provided the example by resting: "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." (Genesis 2:2-3)
I'm also grateful that I had the opportunity to obtain a few of the things that I was looking for; and as often is the case, by what my family and I have come to accept as divine provision because it happens more often than what can be considered mere chance, I was able to get them on sale as well, at the Camarillo Outlet.
On Sunday, God provided me with some encouraging interactions. I had a chance to catch up with the person who challenged me spiritually with regards to evangelism before summer, and I'm still continuing to read the book he gave me: "One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven" by Mark Cahill. God has been at work on my heart and mind related to evangelism; though, it has yet to become clear what He is preparing me for.
Also, my friend and her husband and kids took me out for a belated birthday celebration at Sango Sushi. Being a casual restaurant, it was a good kid-friendly environment; and it turned out well. She also baked a really good carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. It was nice to spend time with her family, for I do not often get to spend time with children much.
God is gracious, and I can see how He provides me what I need. I do pray for wisdom and guidance to know what to do; for, I did learn of something else a person in my class is going through. May God help me to develop and grow as an effective and caring leader.
