So it is the end of the work week. And even though I want nothing more than to go to my flat and sleep I decided to go and watch the football match with Kahler and Katy instead. Kahler and I had actually had it all planned out ahead of time and even had to kind of sneak away early (5:30) from work to make it to The Arcades by 6:30 when the game was set to begin. We spotted a little pub last time we went to Spar that shows the games and we figured that was as good a place as any. We walked in and the bouncer got awkwardly close to Kahler (this is where the title begins to make sense). It is still fairly difficult to understand English through an African accent however, on the first pass we managed to pick something out about pants. it turns out that you are not allowed to wear shorts (which Kahler was wearing) in this particular establishment and we actually came to real that this is not uncommon and unless we are sure about the dress code it is safer just where pants and a collared shirt where ever you go (even to the smallest pub).
We spotted a cab driver that we know and Kahler hopped a ride back to the flats to change into jeans and then race back before the game started. Well by the 22nd minute of the match he made it back. I saw him walk up and it looked like he was catching some flack from a different bouncer. He was giving him a hard time about wearing 'slippers' or as we know them flip flops. Kahler reasoned with Goliath saying that he had just gone home to change pants now surely he would give him a break. He responded by telling Kahler that he was doing him a favor and that he would let him in this time. It made what was supposed to be a relaxing evening into a road trip for Kahler and a lesson for me. It was going to happen to one of us, it was just a matter of time but, we have learned the lesson and we should not have any issues next time we want to watch a match.
Got news today that the soccer game scheduled for tomorrow is postponed until next weekend. So church in the morning and lunch with the pastor after. I am sure it will be marvelous just as the previous Sundays have been.
Today was a little rocky but, everything is going to be fine. All is ok
Dear Jake:
ReplyDeleteYou're very right, everything is going to be fine. It's gonna suck from time to time (I know you know I know...haha...I couldn't resist, I just had to phrase it like that...), but our God is so good and SO so faithful. His time is SO much better than our time. Kind of like what you were telling me earlier about Cindy...why even consider questioning God?? He's so got this. Definitely praying for you. Neither of us chose an easy thing for this leg of our lives, but God has such great purpose in all He calls us to do. We just have to be patient and unstop our hearts, ears, and minds...and maybe we need to stop-up our mouths from time to time - I know I do, at least.
Until next time,
