My Crazy Birth Date Celebration!

Hey there!
Today was again the 1st of June! the date God enlightened the faces of my parents with big smiles 25 years ago, and since then, it has become my date to smile, celebrate, thank God and my parents for being there for me.

And when I woke up early in the morning, I went outside the house and stood there for a short meditation, I realized how soon 25 years has arrived! realized that there're things I would have achieved but that I haven't yet, there was no sunshine yet and the air was still cold, it was not just my best way of starting a year :-( I stayed there for a while looking at the birds flying around and making their beautiful music, they caught my attention for some time, with my head following their movement... and when I came back to myself I was already smiling, and I started to count the blessing I have received in the past years, the little achievements that I have extremely enjoyed, the goals I have reached that have brought a high sense of esteem and fulfillment... I was motivated, and encouraged, and I know that I'll do MORE and BIG BIG things through CHRIST who strengthens me.

So as the title suggests, today was really crazy, it started when I went to Church, and when the Church Elder finished reading the announcements, he said that there's something else to do! then he was like we want to celebrate someone's birthday today... then he called my name and asked me to go at the front, he didn't even know who I am, coz I don't fellowship from that church actually... then he also asked people who had their birthdays in that week to come at the front then the church sang for all of us! it was a blushing situation!
Apart from that, I also received a lot of texto, messages on facebook, and one that really touched me is that picture of a cake with my name! Thank you so much David for the time you spent in designing it especially for me!

And the crazy time started when I got home in the evening, where I was welcomed by some crazy guys who did this to me: they poured flour on me, and as if that wasn't enough they added water! u see how it looked!

Cutting the Cake looking like a Miller Operator

I didn't expect anyone else home apart from my family members, but I was shocked to see many of my friends, and their friends, seated at the backyard waiting for me, with a cake and candles on a table, surrounded by chairs...OMG, I didn't know what to do... it was just crazy!
After cutting the cake and blowing the candles, I had to change the clothes and join the party!
it was exciting, and fun!

Then after eating, talking, we definitely posed for pictures it was also fun its own way!
