Recovered!

After a great night of rest, I was feeling so much better today. Not jet lagged... Not groggy!

Mom was off and I was off too... off for a run! It was sprinkling... but felt a bit like a sauna. But I was so ready to be out there... And the park was fairly empty!

I did 11... I hope to run 11 more tomorrow! It looks like there will be more rain!

Then, Abby and I rushed to Costco as I'm cooking for the Youth Group -- Mexican! The budget was 100US$! No problem!

I put everything in the pressure cooker. I had the beans in there last night. Mixed the sauces and the meat... 

Then Alan, Abby and I were off to the Marriott for their afternoon tea... buffet style. They had prime ribs! Alan was happy!

We were late in coming back... the restaurant extended the time... So, we just enjoyed ourselves. But we were late as the driver was already at our house! YIKES!

This evening, Abby and Alan and two other friends went to watch Jurassic World. I don't enjoy that kind of movie, plus I have to take care of Mom. I wanted to go and watch Top Gun... But then that would be quite late... and I didn't want to exhaust myself. The weekend is the most tiring as Mom doesn't go to the Center. 

Daily Lovely Insight:

I read a poem by Freda Hanbury Allen.

Lord, Thou Knows All the Hunger

Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger
Of the heart that seeks Thee now;
How my soul hath long been craving
What Thou only canst bestow.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Failure in my walk and witness,
Failure in my work I see;
Fruitless toil, un-Christlike living,
Calling forth no praise to Thee.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Now to Thee my soul confesses
All its failure, all its sin;
All the pride, the self-contentment,
All the “secret faults” within.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Save me from myself, my Father,
From each subtle form of pride;
Lead me now with Christ to Calvary,
Show me I with Him have died.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

No more let it be my working
Nor my wisdom, love or power,
But the life of Jesus only,
Passing through me hour by hour.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Let the fullness of Thy spirit
Resting on Him cover me,
That the witness borne to others,
May bring glory, Lord, to Thee.

Seeking now, seeking now,
Let Thy Spirit meet me now.

Father, in Thy Son’s name, pleading,
I believe my prayer is heard;
And I praise Thee for the answer,
Resting simply on Thy Word.

Praising now, praising now,

Thou hast answered, Lord, I know!Seek Him First!
