The Day Frankie Almost Hustled Me
Today was so random… I woke up and went to the gym. Then I went to shoot the basketball around in the gym. I started to get bored so I was about to leave when this handicapped guy Frankie came up to me and asked for a game of 21! So I said yes and we started playing. He started shooting and just sucked so I felt bad and missed some easy ones. Then all of the sudden Frankie pulls up his socks and gets his game on. Frankie couldn’t miss. I started to get worried because he was beating me. So then I made my shots and beat Frankie. Oh man… I almost got hustled. Yeah Frankie was hustling me the whole time because he thought I was a girl who coudn't play. I know this is a little cocky but I can count the number of people on one hand who can beat me at 21… Frankie was not going to be added to that today!
I was then about to leave and these ghetto guys walk in from a rehabilitation school. Was about to leave but then we all decided to have a game. These guys were in about grade 11-12. It was so fun, the guys were ones that you wouldn’t want to meet in the back alley after dark but they were so nice and I think I made some more friends today. We just had a great time!
I then went home and got pretty sick so I slept all afternoon! But I have a huge assignment that I have to do so that puts me at the school right now. Actually another part of my random day was going to Tim Horton’s tonight. I was standing there waiting for my coffee and heard the song “how great is our God” over the music speakers. I was pretty surprised. I’m sad to say that I didn’t really take time to acknowledge how great God is today. So it just made me take a step back and realize that God is just as good at Tim Horton’s at 6:00 pm as He is 10:30 Sunday mornings!

Hey Wendy. I haven't been to your blog in a while cuz' i don't have the address memorized like i did your old one. So it was nice to read a whole bunch of entries at once.
I'm really encouraged when i read your blog. it seems like you're living life and having fun... and doing it with God. I love the passion you have for God and how real he is to you. Sometimes when i feel like crapping out of this monkey business of ministry I remember you and that it's about me and God. Not what other people tell me God is, but who I know he is...not a God of religion but a God of relationship. So thanks for keeping it real... you're an encouragement!
I'll update my blog soon.
Auntie angie misses you (hey she's in new york with Breanna, rebecka and Rosa, awesome eh?) and I can't wait to have you back for a few months and hang out sometimes.
take care
love you lots
i'm really proud of you!
Jenn
