correction: my 21st birthday wasn't the best birthday in a long time. it was the best birthday ever because it was a testament of God's love and grace in my life... not because i had a huge expensive party at panorama. the years just keep getting better and better.
for once i was content with and thankful for everything and everyone that God has brought into my life instead of being fixated on what i wanted, but did not have, what i should do to get what i did not have, and who forgot my birthday.
i know this is from God because six months back i had blogged about not being able to dredge up contentment. i've tried to muster up contentment before, and it has never worked. it was like pulling teeth. so truly this is the work of God in my life. then the fact that i am able to give credit where it is due is another example of God working in my life because just this thursday i was telling kirsten that i have a hard time giving God the credit for things because of my massive pride.
so thank You, Lord for Your faithfulness.
and thank you to everyone who remembered my birthday. it was sweet and heart-warming to get the calls, the emails, the e-cards, and the facebook notes. AND it's ok if you didn't. :) i'm not guilt-tripping you, and i'm not the center of the universe....not even on october the 7th.
