Birthday!

I got sung to at church, and very well taken care of by the people I most wanted around me.

Was asked to preach during Advent, at church. That's obviously not a birthday present, but a very cool thing. Preaching excites me as much as it can sometimes scare me. The act of speaking doesn't frighten me, anymore. I pressure myself to come up with good content, but I can if I pray and listen well enough.

Dinner was, of course, fabulous.

Came home to tons of happy-birthday wishes on my Facebook page. All in all, a sweet, fun day. I felt, and feel, very loved.

(And thank you Eileen, for the birthday shout-out at your place.)
