you know, things are easier to search for when they are in a digital format. sooo much easier. you press ctrl-f and type what you are looking for. hahaha. a few miliseconds later, you get your answer :) and if you have to go through anything, it's a rather short list. 9pm: we ordered pizza at mamma mia to take away. walked to a nearby bench to wait. it was here that my wallet fell out, but i was not aware. 9:10ish: got the pizza, crossed the road and ate facing rangitoto island. got up and i realised that i didnt have it. asked caleb if it was in his pockets...nope. o dear o dear o dear =| me thinks: God....hello? err.....errr.....*some incoherent string of words meant to be prayer* so we walk back to the pizza shop, to see if i had left it there...nope. as we were walking to the bench, a lady stops me and the following conversation takes place: lady: hey...are you jane (no, it's not a typo. she said 'jane')? are you looking for your wallet? i think i found your wallet.. me: huh? yea yea....i'm looking for my wallet. lady: yea yea....we found it on that bench over there (points in direction). we were gonna go to pakuranga to your house (my drivers licence displays that) me: o...wow. *stunned* *mouth gaping* *stunned* *stunned* *stunned* me thinks: my goodness.....God? my goodness.....huh?! wooowwww..... lady: *fishes my wallet out of her pocket* here....check to see if everything's still there me: *stares blankly* *stunned* me thinks: what the.......*stunned* lady: yea yea..i recognize your face. we were going to pakuranga to drop it off!! me: o wow.....thank you. really, thank you sooo much. *still stunned* lady: no problem...see ya me thinks: can i get you a drink? me notes that she has 3 large drinks between 2 people...hmm, maybe not such a smart idea. me: thank you. thank you again... *stunned* -----------end------------------------ it went something like that. i don't quite remember. i remember thinking after that, how could she have recognized me? i mean, she couldn't even read my 'june'!! which is the same on 3 different cards. when my photos for the drivers licence and uni id were different.... personally, i am of the belief that when God does miracles, it's not like what we expect. we might think he did an amazing thing with the plagues in egypt. but the truth is, those things do occur naturally (yes, the nile river turns red, kills fishes, hence drawing frogs and flies, which in turn causes sores/skin diseases), albeit at a smaller scale. but it was God's timing and the magnitude of things which make it a miracle. manna is not a 'miracle'. it occurs naturally (ok, technically an act of God too...). likewise for low flying quail, often carried by the winds and nest on land. whatever it is, i believe that God's miracles are weaved into the moment we live in. if you choose not to believe it's Him, then you may do so. but if you do, then you do and know that the Lord God loves you.
