Best Birthday Weekend Ever!
Early Morning phone call (12am) from my brother wanting to be the first to wish me Happy Birthday!
Chinese food with a handsome man for lunch!
Spending time with my closest friends, living in the Austin/San Marcos area!
Playing Quelf, which is a really random fun game.
Watching grown men and my little brother play Ninja. (If you don't know what it is you are missing out)
Water Balloon Fight with about 500 balloons.
Awesome wipe out, with nice battle scar for a souvenir. Sad part is I had just reloaded on water balloons.
Crockpot chicken tacos.
Snickers Chimichangas!!! Best non-traditional birthday cake idea ever!
A back massage/rub!!
Gifts of a tent (fits up to 8), camping chair, crunch & munch (my ultimate guilty pleasure as far as food goes, yes I will eat the whole box by myself), Fiery Hot Cheetos, ticket to anything (w/in driving distance ;) I am thinking a cruise out of Galveston ha ha!
People saying all sorts of nice things about me :)
Camping in my parents back yard (even if it was amazingly humid)
My brother letting me use his cot
Breakfast tacos (sausage, egg, cheese, salsa mmmhhhh)
Bowling a 183!!! (Never mind that it was on the Wii)
Lazily tubing down the San Marcos River
A nap
Digiorno's Ultimate 4 meat pizza, Crunch and Munch, & 2 movies for some me time. (One movie slightly scary and sad, the other inspiring. Smart movie watching skills, watch slightly scary movie first in the day time, watch inspiring movie second to get rid of all anxiety left over from scary/sad movie.)
Probably could have done w/o the sad slightly scary movie (mostly cause I don't like scary movies) I will refrain from naming the movie on the basis that I will most likely be made fun of for considering it a scary movie.
Other than that my birthday weekend was a grand success. I got to celebrate my inner child!

Conversations with God
Child: Father, my heart hurts! There is pain in my chest that brings these tears to my eyes, that allows these sobs to come out of my mouth. I don't know what to do. I am fighting with all that I have and I don't know if I have the strength. My heart is afflicted, my mind is in chaos. I want to be mad, I want to scream! Why do I have this pain? Will you take it away?
God: My child, I understand your heart hurts, I see your tears and hear your sobs, you are not alone. Have patience, bear with all manner of afflictions. Do not revile. Have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that you shall one day rest from all your afflictions. *
Child: I know that you love me Father, I see that you have heard my cries. I don't understand, but I will trust your voice, I will trust your hand.
God: Remember in your life when you have trusted your heart to me and you have been filled with joy?
Child: I do
God: Remember how I have prepared you for things to come, and that in my strength you have succeeded?
Child: I see
God: Remember how I have comforted you, that I have encircled you about in my embrace? Remember that I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand? ** I give unto you these things that ye may be prepared for the things to come, for great things await you.*** All things must come to pass in their time. Be not weary in well-doing. I require the heart and a willing mind.**** I will show unto you what I will concerning you, or what is my will concerning you.***** By my spirit I will enlighten you, by my power you will know my will, even that which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard.****** In my service you shall have strength, be patient in afflictions for you will have many, but endure them for I am with you.*******Know that through these experiences you are becoming who I know you to be. Blessed are you for you will be with me. Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not. Be faithful and know, my child, that I am God.
Child: Father, I understand! In your strength I will fight. I will be faithful and trust in thy will, knowing that you will lead me. I know that thou art God! In my weakness I will seek for your strength and in my heartache I will seek for your love. I will seek for your Son, Jesus Christ who has taken upon himself my pain, my weakness, my infirmities that he may aid me in my afflictions.********
