I had a lot to say, but I read someone's blog just now and now I have a lot to think about and allow that to sink in. Oh how the blogging world works sometimes eh?
Alright, so as I approach the dreaded 1-9, I can say I had my first ever surprised birthday party, HOLD UP... I just remembered a bunch of school friends popped up at my house once (I think when I turned 15?), so never mind, first CHURCH surprise AT church and presented to be by my SICs (Siblings in Christ). I always cherished being a Christian and multiple times I would question where I would be if I was not: if my mom didn't bring me to church since I was a wee little girl, if I rebelled enough as a teen to detour me from this thing I believed in, if, what if. So in the end I always knew if the world ended, if all was to come crashing down, I would always have my faith to grab onto. People may come and go, certain events may not be as popular as it once was but being a christian girl I can say with all my heart, soul and mind that church is close to home. Unlike school friends or individuals you meet elsewhere, church identities will always be there no matter what, no matter if you are tight or not, no matter if you hang out weekly or just keep up with each other occasionally, it all comes down to our common denominator: Faith. "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism."
Where was I going with that? I really don't know, but I guess I just felt like making that public even though its just generic stuff. All I can say is I felt really happy on Thursday despite knowing and expecting a 'surprise' party. I have to admit I was quite jaw dropped at some people that came, some stuff that happened but basically I just felt loved (not the gf/bf type) but just as a family member loves one another, I felt really at home. Sometimes friendships can run deeper then relationships at home and I just find a hint of irony in that.
That's a wrap, but I will always remember my friend's first ever msn name when I conversed with her in gr.5, and it goes like this:
"Friends are like Angels without any Wings,
Blessing our Lives with the most Precious things"
