However, my plan backfired as some work stuff got delayed and I forsaw a need to stay back that night. With a heavy heart, I texted Leanne to ask if we could take a raincheck. Bless this girl whom "we were both young when I first met you", she understood and agreed.
In the early evening though, I was done pretty fast, unexpectedly. So I texted her to see if we can put the dinner back on the schedule. But she had already made plans. So we decided to push our dinner to next week.
I have cell group every Friday. But on this day, it just has to be today, cell group was canceled as our cell-group mate is getting married tomorrow and a lot of them have been mobilized to help in the set up today. So I had decided, early in the week, that I would hang out with Mr Lim. We made new plans, to go over to his place in Tampines and watch a random movie. Sounds good.
Today, Friday, I was set to head to Tampines.
For it just so happened that Leanne stays in Tampines.
And this afternoon, I received a text from her that said,"My grandmother passed away."
In the end, I went to Mr Lim's for a quick pee break (blame the weak bladder) and then I went to meet Leanne, just a few streets down the road. And we ended up talking over a late dinner at the airport.
This is the story of how I got to be there for my friend, despite my crazy schedule. Without knowing I could. God loves her, and His grand scheme of loving her included me.
I have a wonderful God.
And of course, we're still set for next Wednesday night's dinner!
