It's 9:55 PM. Currently, I'm sitting at my home in Oceanside watching a Disney movie. It's called 16 WIshes. It's actually pretty good. I'm super into it. Anyway, let's ignore the inner 16 year old girl in me and my love for Disney movies... I'm actually having a hard time writing this blog because I like this movie so much. It's now 10:06 and I've yet to actually start writing what I want to write about. 10:10 - I just got all warm and fuzzy inside because Abby (the main charecter) and Jay (her best friend) are in the friend stage but we all know that Jay has had a crush on her forever but they just had a moment where they looked deep into each other's eyes. Abby doesn't know it yet, but she's gonna fall in love with Jay by the end of the movie. Jay won't have to hide his feelings anymore, he'll be able to tell Abby how he feels and she'll finally realize that she loves him too... Wow. I've gotten too emotionally invested in this movie. It's now 10:33 and I haven't gotten to the topic of this blog yet... Oops. Okay let's do this.
I left campus today at 6:04 on the campus shuttle to catch the 6:45 Coaster train back to Oceanside. Riding the off campus shuttle is a lot of fun by the way. It's fun to see a bunch of your school friends who often are just desperately needing to get off campus for any reason. And it's cool to catch up with people you haven't seen in a while. The off campus shuttle, often called the "fruttle" to mean the "freshman shuttle," is actually pretty convenient. You can get to some pretty convenient pla-- OH MY GOSH ABBY AND JAY JUST KISSED! THAT WAS SO CUTE! Sorry... Well the movie is over now. It was really good. Anyway, as I was saying... You can get to some pretty convenient places including but not limited to Target, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and the Old Town train station, which was my destination today.
Side note: The Suite Life on Deck is on now. And it's crazy to me how much Dylan and Cole Sprouse have grown since the last time I saw this show. And they have a whole bunch of freckles everywhere. Weird. But I love this show. End side note.
After I had ridden the train for just under an hour, I was in Oceanside and got off the train. This lady came up to me and asked me about her hair trying to figure out if it looked good or not. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it but she insisted for me to "Be completely honest!" She was really quirky and crazy and outgoing. It's hard to even describe her in words but she was definitely entertaining. I'd guess she was in her late 20s or older 30s.
She got a phone call and I overheard her talking about random things from the person on the train who farted to mentioning her church and talking about how she wanted to ask God why he created poop and farts. It was really funny to listen to so I couldn't help but laugh. After she was off the phone she said that I was going to be her friend for the next hour while we waited for the next train that we both had to take to continue our seperate journeys. It was brought up that I go to Point Loma so she asked, "Oh so are you a Christian?" I said yes and then she said "Oh this is great, I love when I get to meet a brother in the Lord."
It was super funny because she started to talk about how people who grow up in the church are often not serious about their faith. This is often true, as I've seen, but it's definitely not always true. I mentioned that I grew up in the church and that I'm a pastor's kid and she said, "Oh. Well I'm going to go now," and she jokingly turned around and walked away because apparently, I wasn't like other grew-up-in-the-church people that she'd met.
Like I mentioned, she was sorta weird, but fun and she made me walk to Burger King with her so she could get some food. We got to talk about a whole bunch of random things like the Bible and church and other things relating to God.
I guess I don't have all that much to say because I can't detail the whole conversation but I just want to say that it's a cool thing when God brings people together in a place like a train station just for an hour and you can walk away changed. She gave me some nuggets that I'm now able to use in my life and she said that I inspired her. It's just cool to see how God works.
That is all.
