"happy birthday, beautiful."
i smiled. i encountered God. to me, that was the most precious moment, one that is priceless. i turned 22. and i finally caught a glimpse of what God meant when He said He made me fearfully and wonderfully. He knows my name even when I was in the womb. He watches over me. i am so so... loved, so cherished and treasured. indeed... He is my closest Friend, and the Lover of my soul. i dont need many texts from the many people i know... i just need Him :')
i had a lovely birthday. showered with gifts which i appreciate because they meet my real needs, like a watch and a bag... thankful. i had several surprises as well... it was a nice time catching up with people though i was overwhelmed by work in the week so much so that i hardly slept.
one of the most memorable one was when the NTU cell group came to surprise me. i was up at the rooftop praying late that night and so focused in reading my bible that when the group of them came up, i did not give a second look to notice their faces in the dark. so when finally they stood surrounding me did i realise i was ambushed! hahaha. honestly, for a moment, i thought that in my third year, after all the people who came and left or disappeared, NTU cell will no longer have anyone who knows my birthday or bothered to celebrate. really, i wasn't expecting anything. but i am so blessed to have all the freshies who remembered and bought me ice cream to cheer me up. they prayed for me even. it blessed my heart to know that the next generation is anointing me. thank You Lord, for sending these people to remind me of the work i have set out doing when i first entered this land. it is a great calling to leave a godly legacy for the younger ones. but i will repent if i dare ever belittle Your will in my life.
yes Lord, i'll keep pounding for You.
