Day 1 of "A Quarter of Love"

So after a wonderful bible study yesterday, a talk with Joanne JDSN, Alex and a talk with God i decided it was time i began to express how much God has done in my life. I woke up this morning wanting to qt but i didn't wanna be late to school so i knew i would have to just wait till later. On my way to school i began to listen to "love" by Jaeson Ma and i felt the presence of God and a desire to express my feeling about God to someone in some way but i wasn't sure how.

My plans were semi foiled because i felt as if i started today no one would believe it due to April fools day. However i walked with one of my friends to buy lunch and he had a bunch of change and so i decided to buy lunch for him. He asked me why and i let him know i wanted to begin showing acts of kindness in different ways. After talking with him i had one more period to go and then i was out of my school and on my way home.

I began to once again listen to "love" and i felt an urge to go somewhere so i drove past Manhattan beach and i made a U-turn. I drove to a pho restaurant that i like to eat at and started looking around. I then drove away but after 15seconds drove back there again feeling as if something was there.

Finally I walked inside the restaurant and sat down seeing a couple groups of people then i noticed one man off to the side sitting my himself. I walked to the counter were i am friends with the owner of the restaurant and asked him if i could pay for that mans food. The owner looked at me with a confused look and said no that i couldn't, which surprised me and i asked why not. He asked me why i wanted to pay for his food and if i knew him, and i replied that i didn't know him but that I almost didn't come here and I felt an urge to buy this mans food.

He smiled and said well thats nice of you and that he would take care of it so i smiled and sat down. Later the man walked past me to pay and once he realized his bill was paid for he was shocked. I didn't get to see his face but I was thankful for the opportunity to do something for someone else. On my way home i began to pray and thank God for the many things i am blessed with and the opportunities i have. Day 1 was unexpected however i am pleased and eager to grow in God and witness about him.
