Flying without wings


yes it is really an opportunity i had.
I tried applying for US visa and three times i was denied US visa. ANd the fourth time i applied during SBS, DAD really brought me through.
Now here i am in LA with my mom. It has been almost two days. I have been enjoying what i have so far. It is really an opportunity to get to know my mom. I got to babysit with her, seeing the life she is living here. THroughout the 28 years of my life, this is probably the closest i've seen her, both physically and emotionally.

Me and my mom are staying in the living room of her friend's house. She's renting her living room coz she can't afford much now. She's working 3,5 hours a day, babysitting.

I didn't expect LA to be as cold as it is now. I was unprepared. But thank GOd, i could use my mom's jacket coz we both are pretty much the same size. (compliment for her, not for me i guess) hahaha.. So yesterday we went downtown getting a blanket. We had tacos that they sell on a truck. It was yummy. $1 each. We both had 2 each.
My mom left only $1 in her wallet. It was pretty surprising for me i almost teared but i held it back.
I don't have loads of $$ but thank God i was given USD20 for the journey from Singapore to LA that i didn;t get to use on the way. And two friends passed me SGD50 each. I will be staying here for 7 weeks. I am really flying without wings here.
Today, i woke up and passed $20 to my mom as she was going for work. She refused it but i insisted and of course i won :)

Anyway, I know My Dad is out there coz he told me as i looked outta the window on the plane before it took off from Singapore airport:
"I am taking you on my pinions. My wings are safe and strong enough to take you places"
So, i am rest assured. I am flying without wings coz i know my Dad's wings are around...

"He will cover you with his pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler" - Psalms 91:4
