Birthday Bash
Well, that day finally came that I turned 21. Wednesday, 7th May 2008 and what a day it was. I'm feeling a little "stupid" for not catching on what was happening sooner. Apparantly lots of people accidentally slipped vital information my way but I had no idea what was coming.
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, my parents threw me a surprise party. My mum had been planning this for some time, apparantly, and sent out about 100 invitations. In the end, we had an awesome turnout of about 47 people I think it was. It was such a blessing to be reminded of God's goodness and faithfulness in my life through all the friends and family who remembered me on my birthday. I was truly overwhelmed by so many people who texted or emailed or facebooked or came to the party and am grateful to be able to call all of them friends.
I don't really know how to give you details about what happened exactly since a lot happened in terms of little things that just made the day that much more wonderful. There are photos though on facebook and so on and I will try and get a link to that some time in the near-ish future. We also had a wonderful friend to video the whole thing so when I finish my exams, I'll go through it and edit it into one video and if you'd like to see a copy of it, just let me know and wait...for some time. =0)
Speaking of exams, I had one today and one the day before my birthday. Both went surprisingly well though they were also both not very pleasant. I actually came out of my first exam with the hymn "Thine be the Glory" in my head for some reason but a good hymn is better than depressive thoughts any day. Thank you to all those who are praying for me and my exams, I do take your prayers very seriously and am grateful to you for them. I am convinced that the only way I'm remembering things I revised days before is because God is answering your prayers. Please do continue to pray as I have 6 more exams. I can't remember if I gave you the dates for them but I have one on the 15th of May and then 4 in a row on the 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd of May and then one last one on the 29th. I'd give you further details but feel that it is quite unnecessary. Please, however, let me know if you want all the gory details.
Well, just want to thank you all again for your faithfulness in friendship, love and support, I definitely do praise God for all of you.
Giving God All the Glory for His faithfulness in each and everyday of the last 21 years...
