I must admit, I am pretty funny about birthdays. I think I like celebrating other’s birthdays more than my own. This year I was exhausted coming up to my day of commemorating my initial introduction into the world. I didn’t really want to make much ado over it. In my bid to keep things low-key, I must admit my birthday this year pretty much rocked! My mom threw me a get together/party and hands down she is the best birthday celebrator/ host ever! Not all people have someone like this in their life so I know I am very blessed.
One thing that changed my birthdays for me quite a few years ago was learning that birthdays are a chance to actually forget yourself and celebrate those people in your life that are a blessing to you. This year I had much to celebrate. On top of it all this birthday God laid some untraditional birthday activities on my heart and most assuredly as I obeyed the whole day was spent joyously in His presence.
Part of me so wants to share those things that the Lord asked of me and yet part of me wants to keep them as a secret gift between the Lord and I. More than anything I knew this year that there was nothing that man could give that I desired more than that which was from His heavenly hand. And while there are things that I have asked of from the Lord and still wait to see his provision for, He still lavished upon me the ability to be delighted in and truly enjoy those around me. This was a great birthday.
Happy Birthday to all who also celebrate this time of year!
Luv Ya,
Babbles
