25th Birthday Surprise

Good evening,

I know I haven't written in a while-things have been hectic, but good all at the same time. Where do I begin??? My birthday- Ok so I went to work on birthday and my co-workers took me out for lunch. That was sweet of them I know. At 4pm sharply, I left work and began my hour and half trip home. Got home and my brother and sister weren't there. There is something about turning 25- I think I feel calmer and wiser. The fact that I was home alone on my bday crossed my mind but I didn't want to let myself go to that place. I found inner peace from God. I am slowly learning to just let things fall into place. During the day the thought had crossed my mind that maybe my siblings would throw me a surprise party however, I had heard nothing- no accidental "slip ups" from any of my friends. To support my thinking two of my close friends and B had not called me by 5pm so I thought maybe just maybe something was up. At 7pm when I was about to leave for bible study I got a text from one of my close friends saying hapy birthday. I was glad she remembered but at the same time a little hurt that she just sent me a text. Also, this confirmed that nothing was going on because she would be the one to bring ppl together. So off I went to bible study.

I was so glad I went to Bible study because it was as if God was speaking directly to me. Telling me that everything in the Bible that was said years ago is still me said today. Whatever God told his disciples many years ago He is telling me the same today. My sister was also there. Aferwards, my brother brought a cake and everyone sang to me incluing my mum from back home. I was so humbled and appreciative of turning 25. I was like wow this is what being grown is all about.

The next day was Friday and I decided to pamper myself. With turning 25 I had already decided that this would be a low key birthday for me to celebrate turning my milestone. I also knew that if no one did anything for me I would still treat myself. I love getting my hair braided so that was a treat for myself. I woke up around 8 am and went to have my hair braided. I sat for about 8 hrs (but that is good timing-u know what I am saying lol). After that I went to have my nails and eyebrows done. Pamper me day it felt good.

Also, remember this was Easter weekend so there were so many activities at church that I had no "down time". Fast forward to sunday. My really really close friend I guess I can say my best friend said we would celebrate my birthday the next weekend because of how busy I was & I agreed with her. Remember C well she invited me for dinner, since I had nothing else planned I agreed to go with her. She first wanted to go shopping so I said that was fine. We got to the mall and it was closed because of Easter. So instead we went to her place to kill time. I can't explain it, it was so unlike me to not ask questions and find out exact details about what was going on...but I didn't. Around 6 pm we left her place and headed for the dinner. She told me we were going to meet one of her friends and I didn't think anything of it.

We went got there we parked the car and started to walk. Upon crossing on of the major intersections I noticed my best friend with another close friend of ours. This was peculiar because everytime they hang out I know about it. However, because I was also with C and hadn't told my best friend about it I thought well "touche". I waved at them but they didn't respond or even open the window- weird I thought and I voiced my opinions to C. We continued walking as we kept walking the light bulb started to come on. What were the chances that C, my best friends and I would all be in the same vacinity and not be connected. As we walked into the restaurant to my surprise were all my close friends including my co-workers!!!!!!

They got me real GOOD! I had no clue and using C was a good idea because I did not see any connections between her and my other friends.........

I will continue here next time, I have to go to bed for an early start tomorrow
Gnite
Faith- remember always walk in the power of God
