yeah....19..finally!!

i'm glad...cuz to think back to the last birthday...(we always do that, well, at least i do)....i see how much i've changed. i mean, just the concept of "birthday" changed in my heart. no expectations this year. not wanting to be all about me. everything was different, my heart was so glad that this birthday was not like any other "birthdays" i had in the past. i have changed a lot. and the best part is....I LOVE IT!!!

let me tell you a bit of what happened on my birthday:
-well yesterday, we went to Rockwaters...we had yummy ribs and watched a movie. "how to lose a guy in 10 days.."
-after dinner, they(my friends) got me a piece of cake and they sang happy birthday, but that wasn't it, they got the "piano guy" to sing happy birthday as well. i thought that was cool.
-today, (my actual birthday), i went to church, then had lunch with friends and then went to study at weldon.
-after that, i went to Roger's and Pam's for bible study...like what i do every Sunday. At the end of the meeting, they got me two huge cakes and we celebrated again.
-oh yeah...i got a huge rock as a present...painted...it says C-19 on it...heheh...it was so heavy. And i also got other presents..like a book from sonja, picture frame with picture from jesse, and another picture frame with pictures inside from glen, jus, caleb, and cho...hehe..Thankx guys.

This past week has been full of JOY and JOY and more JOY. I had a privileged to witnessed this week the greatness of my Father and to see Him move so evidently in someone's life. i saw with my very own eyes, my brother in Christ, finally "knowing" this freedom. The power that the Lord has over someone's heart is so great and evident that we can't deny His love. Isn't that incredible? Tonite was really really amazing...to see three people coming to know and so much more wanting to know. And I KNOW that they will know. All this knowing...hehehe. But God is so AWESOME...so AMAZING. He is my father, and praise God that I am His daughter. And this sonship is not just for me....but for EVERYONE who believes in HIM. PRAISE GOD!!!! We are no longer slaves, but daughters and sons..when we weak, we are VERY strong.!!!!....if the son has set you free, you SHALL be free INDEED!!!....duh!!!!!...hhehehheeh.....this, i would say, is the best birthday present ever!!!!!!!!.....and you know, it's gonna keep coming...i'm expecting God to do more...He is gonna give people a new heart and to reveal to them that HE HAS DONE IT ALREADY!!!!!.....yea...CEASE STRIVING!!! praise God!!!!

-oh yeah...gotta thank bessy for teaching me how to change the colors and the font size for this page.....
