i can't believe it... i actually hauled my fat ass out of bed at 545am to go for the Next boxing day sale which starts at 7am...
what's more unbelievable is that well... there were actually loads of pple there!
what's more amazing is we managed to stay out shopping till like 4+ in the afternoon! (stopping for lunch of course)
what am i talking abt? the boxing day sales in glasgow of course.. the best deals in town all on the same day.. what's not to like... and it's really a grab and go go go situation!
tally for the day:
6 pairs of pants
1 top
3 belts
1 perfume set
all this without trying on anything... thank goodness that they all fit... why? cos the UK, unlike sunny little singapore has acknowledged that women come in all sizes... not size 6 all the time....
church was so meaningful today... the sermon was about God's grace..
Thank you Lord.. my guilt is lifted... hope i can follow the pastor's advice to worry less....
to add onto that.. they sang my fav Christmas hymn... O come O come Immanuel...
it was so comforting.. and at that moment i felt peace.
i've been so troubled for the past few days.... never thought i'd miss my folks so so so so much... it's left me teary, cranky, moody... yes even on Christmas.. it was rather hellish for such a sacred day....
sigh... but when that song played.. it was like God was telling me that He is the most important thing... with Him I can find peace.. that He is my heavenly father... my heavenly family... and that He loves me and holds me in His thoughts and arms everyday.. no matter what...
i'm not disregarding my family.. i know the Lord is with them too.. and that comforts me too...
the song also speaks of the hope we have in Jesus' birth, death, ressurection and of course.. his future coming......
i begged God to take me out of this funk.. and slowly but surely He is....
thank you Lord. Merry Christmas.
