A Very Weird Day!

I was up super early -- 4:44 to be exact! I just couldn't sleep...

It was just weird... I journaled... in a very unhurried manner. I read the devotional, "Streams in the Desert" and this sentence struck me: The comfort we have from Christ's revealed truth is not that it teaches us freedom from sorrow but that it teaches us freedom through sorrow. How God was ministering His comfort to me...

I went for my 10k run... It was slightly sprinkling at the beginning and towards the end of my run. I didn't want to go longer, even though I could have... 

I put in a load of laundry and still can not go into Mom's room... I know that will come... Annie, my sister, asked about dates for July... she's going to buy my ticket on Starlux! July 18th... returning on August 10th.

A sister messaged me... am I home? She came over... I wasn't ready to have company, but it was good of her to drop by. She brought food... I am not feeling hungry. We sat and chatted... three hours flew by!

I then went out to buy special breads to give out on Sunday... I bought 210 pieces of five different kinds of bread... Wow... People have been asking me when I'd have a service. We are not having a service. But I wanted people to receive something on Sunday... I will lay these 'snacks' out for Love Cafe and then after dinner, people can take something back home, maybe for breakfast on Monday morning... I know Mom would want to bless others...It's Mother's Day!

I had made an appointment for a massage... and Ms. Hsieh would not charge me for the 90 minute session! I am so blessed!

I came home and Alan came back. He went for a run. He had called Mom Bea on Team and she knows about the passing of my Mom!

Isaiah had work today... and he found out the regulations for bringing back ashes on the plane! He went to Soochow basketball and Alan and I went out to dinner!

Two things just felt so weird: in the morning, I looked to see the van pulling up to pick up our neighbor across the street. That's the usual routine! I wanted to go down to talk to the driver and those who rode with Mom each morning... but I just couldn't... Maybe tomorrow...

In the evening, the phone rang... It was about the time when Mom would be dropped off... but that can't be... it was the bread shop, confirming my order! The owners are two elderly people... very sweet... very small shop... I didn't go to a big place to buy these 'snacks'... I'm glad I went with this Ma & Pa Shop!

I miss Mom!
