-21 day fast from social media and YouTube/TV
-Getting together with Kara/Sharon/Janet this past Monday and encouraging each other to pray bold prayers
-I went to Chicago Tabernacle for prayer night this past Tuesday and wow, have I missed that space. For almost four years (2016-2020), I went by myself every Tuesday and truly, much of my love and attitude towards prayer has been shaped by prayer night at Chi Tab. I've mentioned this before, but there is a 60-something Latino man who I enjoy seeing - primarily because his worship towards the Lord is inspiring for it's sincerity and fervency. When I walked into the sanctuary, he was right where he always sits, worshipping the Lord and praising him just as he always has. I started to tear up, and prayed for this man - that his heart would always be overflowing with love towards the Lord.
-Baking an extravagant cake for Kara's birthday dinner party tomorrow
-I volunteered at the Bloc this evening and got to see the kiddos (Alejandro, Kathleen, Kimberly, Aniya) and Jamyle, Ericka, Sabrina. I arrived a bit late because I got caught up with a work call but I was able to box with Kimberly. Alejandro even came up to me and was like "Hey Ms. Hong! What's up?!" Literally made my heart beam - I'm definitely going to spend more time volunteering here this season.
-And last but not least, the intake coordinator at Thamani Counseling Center got back to me and said that each therapy session would only be a $10 copay per session. She gave me three different options for potential therapists and my first session will be later this month. I'm looking forward to a space to process the past and present and to move forward in my journey towards healing and self-growth.
It's not even the end of the first week of the fast and already God is answering my prayers in such intimate and wonderful ways.
