24th Birthday List!

For the first time ever I have been inspired to compose a list of things I would like for my birthday as an excercise of valuing and celebrating myself. Honestly, this is more of a prayer list for God because ultimately He is the supplier and the provider, but I hear He likes to use people so you should talk to Him if you want to get involved ;)

• A trip on The Rock Boat
• This is the day after I am in a wedding but hey with God, all things are possible
• NEEDTOBREATHE is going to be there
• Ben Rector is going to be there
• a cruise to a private island, yes please
• So this one is like a miracle item but hey, I believe God does miracles and it is my birthday after all...
• Tickets to the NEEDTOBREATHE show in Pomona 
• Buy Here
• A little more reasonable than the Rock Boat
• They are like my favorite rock band (tied with Citizen of course) 
• You could buy two tickets and come with me!

There you have it. I hope the heart behind this post is clear. I don't want to make anyone feel pressure to get me any gift at all let alone an extravagant one. I am making a statement. A statement that I believe that I am worth something. That God wants to give good gifts to me. That may sound selfish, but it is something I have never allowed myself to believe in the past so booya sucka! Today, I get to enjoy the fact that I was born and I am alive. It's not about the gifts, they are just a bonus That is pretty great and I want to start acting like it. And lastly, no, I am not writing this at 2:30am on my birthday...
