So, I am surrounded by the love of the Lord! Yesterday was my birthday, and I had been a little upset about having to work. So, I went to work praying that my words would be seasoned with salt, but the minute i walked in the door, i started to gripe about all sorts of stuff. Nothing was done right all the sudden, and i started to get really upset. I still am not sure what happened there, a couple of hours later, a friend came in the store, and sat down to do some work, and all the sudden things were fine. I had to work, but I had a friend to share it with. Everything was just fine. Then, some friends of my parents came in, and I was so suprised to see them, wondering why they were here, but glad to see them all the same. So, 30 minutes later my parents came in with a cake and sang Happy Birthday to me. Then, 30 minutes later some more friends came in, maybe to say 'hi', but i wasn't sure. Then, all the rest of my homegroup came in the store 30 minutes after that. I was so suprised and pretty overwelmed with everything. So much attention really makes me quite uncomfortable, but I was blessed that everyone was so thoughtful of my birthday. Praise God for friends!!
