## What Did You Do Today?
> Today Mandy and Stone come to Vancouver but Mandy send me the wrong date. I thought it should be tomorrow. So I cannot take their flight today.
Today Natalie has day off so we spend the time together. We made lunch together. It is more like a breakfast though because we have egg, mushroom, vegetable…
> Natalie is studying Calligraphy. She is having a one-month free trial from [[SkillShare]].
Then we separately study the bible a bit. I am also spending time investing [[Akiflow]]. [[John Mavrick]] introduce this tool to me and I think it might be useful but I found that
- its integration is not well done
- the mobile app is buggy because it cannot even sync the google calendar
- the user experience is just not as good as [[Cron]] or the native calendar
So eventually I decide to stop using it despite the price is very low. (I got a 75% off coupon).
I need to lead the devo message today and I am so nervous about preparing this as well. I am nervous about whether I can deliver my message to them.
> To Give = To Love
Then I went to Johnathan’s place to have D group. The D group is quite well. I am surprised both of them are sick. Although Adrain claim that he is not sick, he has some sneezes. I kind of deliver a pre-preaching to them and see how they respond. I also answer their questions. I think this will be a good idea because devo is too short for my full message.
So there are three points:
1. God is love. Whoever doesn’t know Love, doesn’t know God. And we need to give because give is a natural expression of love.
2. Love is a love of giving but not a love of receiving. We love whom we give.
3. To learn how to give, we need to be humble.
I didn’t say the third points in the devo. So after the devo, we go to Danny Young’s place. His place is so big, there is a ping pong table in their place and I was mindblown 🤯. We had fried rice made by Cammi. Then I delivered the message. I am still nervous but I tried my best. Turns out everyone of them knows the message and I felt encouraged. Noah said I have improved a lot since the first preaching. I felt confirmed and is happy.
I also chatted with [Pierce](https://www.instagram.com/piercebindley/), who is Terry’s friend and a new comer, brought by Brandon (I forget his name…). Then Cammi drove us back.
