Welcome Weekend

And last weekend was a very welcome one, with some very good things happening. I liked it a lot.

On Saturday, I was invited round a friend's house to eat. Well, I was actually invited a while ago. He's from Nigeria, and he's decided that he has got out of the habit of cooking Nigerian style, so he decided to invite a few friends round to try his cooking on us. Which was lovely. Both to be invited, and the actual food. There were just a few of us-him, me, my housemate, and another friend; but then he lives in a flat, so he probably couldn't fit many more in there anyway. We had a simple meal involving a LOT of chilli peppers; more than I would normally put in a meal, but it was tasty. I hope Nigerian cuisine becomes a semi-regular invitation. We also watched a film-we tried to watch 'Rango', but gave up on that, so we watched 'The Italian Job' instead. That's definitely worth watching. Overall, a good time was had by all, and I hope this happens again. And again.

And then Sunday was very relaxing, as I didn't have to do anything until the evening. I mean there were all sorts of things I could have done, but I didn't have to do any of them. I vaguely recall reading at some point in the afternoon (I don't recall the morning at all-probably because I was alseep), and I think I went online a bit; but in general, I wasn't actually doing anything much at all. And then in the evening, I went to Seek His Face again-and I even got there a bit late, even though it's later than my church service starts. So I got there while it was going on, and just joined in. I 'just happened' to see some friends from Stroud, and stood/sat near them, which was nice-and even better, when at one point, we were asked to pray for the people next to us, and my friend Sarah came and prayed for me. And then, a bit later, a lady got up and told us about God healing her from something very painful-clearly she wasn't in any pain while she was standing there. And then He told me to go up and tell people about what happened Thursday. Which was fairly easy, after actually doing it. I hope and pray that encourages a few people to listen to God and speak out when He says so-I'll mention it if anyone tells me of anything they've done recently.

So, all in all, a very good weekend. I liked it a lot.
