april 10th... i woundn't now where to begin with all the frustrations of the past couple of days.... but i think it all topped off with what happened a couple hours ago...

---

so, i was dropped off at McCowan and Steeles so i could take the 129A home [which was close by already]... me and jackie just finished praying, so i get out of the car, run to get on the bus...

now, how could i have *possibly dropped my cell phone, without me knowing...? only a 10m distance to cover between the car and the bus...

so i figured, "okay, i left it in the car... hope she finds it!"

and when i get home, my parents [who were on their way out] tell me that some lady called using my cell phone "about 10 minutes ago." she said that they would leave it at woodside...

so my parents go out, while i'm thinking they were gonna get some grocery shopping done... i figured that they'd let me handle it on my own, so i kept trying to call my phone back...

no answer...
no answer...
no answer.........
no answer.............
....what's this, now it's off..???
it's off?
IT'S OFF???

WHAT THE (expletive)

how do i express how frustrated i was..?
"at woodside? where at woodside? where am i supposed to go? what the (expletive) am i supposed to do?"

and there i was, shouting at the top of my lungs because i was so frustrated... [thank God no one was home]...
and there i was praying through all that frustration... i didn't know what else to do but yell and pray!

[and a good 15 minutes of both frustration and prayer in full force, it comes to me...]

"....wait... why am i worrying...? it's found, right...? the lady said she'd drop it at woodside... that means it's not really lost..."

[another 3 minutes... calming down...]

"'drop it at woodside...' does woodside have a lost and found department? what's the phone number? ......whoa, they have a website? ah-hah, that's kinda funny..."

[another 5 minutes, no answer from woodside security department...]

"okay... but still, where would she drop it at woodside...? okay, must go to woodside, find it there..."

    "Don't let me down, Lord..."
    "What are you saying? has He ever done that before?"

[feeling better.. smirk...]

gotta call parents, tell them i'm going to look for it at woodside...

[call dad's cell phone...]

"hey dad, i'm going to woodside to go get my phone........."
"uh, we already got it, we just picked it up..."

HO-LEE FREEG!

[and.... RELAX....... *whew*]

apparently, my parents didn't tell me that the lady said she was gonna drop it at the Roger's there.... geez....

---

"Don't let me down, Lord..."
"What are you saying? has He ever done that before?"
              -- me, [and me again shortly after]

THANK YOU, LORD... i'm feeling much better now...

---

see? the Lord does answer prayers...
if there's anything i've learned in the past few days, it's the awesome power of prayer...
isn't prayer so cool?

ho-lee freeg!
