Running Free In Heartland

My Birthday!!

So, it was my birthday on Wednesday. I had a really good birthday. I babysat in the morning, which wasn't the most fun, since I was tired, and then my parents took all us kids out for sushi, for my birthday lunch. It was so taste! We had sushi rolls, Teriaki Chicken, Bogogi, and a bunch of other yummy things. Then, we all went to our church, to give the pastors some Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which my dad had picked up for them, and we got to see quite a few of them. Then, Pastor Chris took us to see the hole again. I had seen it on Monday for a debrief they were doing for all of the concert-goers, who had been there during the accident, and any others who wanted to go. It was still really hard to be in the santuary and seeing the hole. After I was in there for a couple minutes, I had to go and sit down on the steps of one of the enterences to the santuary, cause I was crying. I found it really hard to go into the there, cause for some reason emotions just welled up inside me and made me feel like crying. I also had to look away from the stage several times, cause I was remembering what it looked like the night of the concert, before everything happened. 

After we left, my family and I went to House of James, and my parents bought me the Jeremy Camp Restored cd, and a t-shirt that says "He Loves Me" and has Romans 8:35 written on it. I really like both of the gifts. Oh right!For birthday presents, I got a new t-shirt hoody, a new tank-top, a new pair of capries, a digital camra, and some money.

After we left the House of James, we had to go back to our church, to pick up my dad's car, which he had left there while we went to the store. We saw one of the other head pastors, so we all went over, gave him a hug, and chatted with him for a while. Then pretty soon after, my dad and two little siblings went home, and my mom, younger sister, and I went to a ice cream store and bough two big tubs of ice cream. Then we came home. Once I was at home, I went on the computer for a while and loaded my new cd onto my mp3 player. Then my mom stuck a candle in a Krispy Kreme dougnut for me, and my family sang "Happy Birthday" to me. After, I went on the computer for a bit longer, chatted with a friend on the phone, and ate Chinese food for dinner. Then, we watched tv for a while, and eventually it was time for me to go to bed.

I had a REALLY good brithday, and I would have to say going to the church and visiting with the pastors was the best part. And............Praise God that I lived for another year!God is SO good!
