This year my birthday fell on Easter Sunday which made an unusual birthday even more extraordinary. My Sunday started with my workmates bringing me a cake with a candle after work at 12.30am so bedtime was a little later than normal... at 5am my alarm went off and i rugged up and dragged the bike out of the inn. The half hour bike ride did a lot to wake me up and as I pulled into Wheatmoor Farm I was prepared for the 'Son Rise' celebration service. Very cold but very memorable.
That night Jonty King - the youth leader from NZ gave a great sermon about Doubting Thomas. He has been great at helping me fit in at the Sutton Coldfield Baptist Church since he had to go through it when he first came.
Best part of the day was calling the family shack and finding everyone happy safe and enjoying enjoying an Eater egg hunt. First birthday i received no presents however mum has chipped in and asked others to help pay for a trip to Turkey for me to commemorate Anzac day. I am so grateful: for the gift from so many but more for the mother who loves me so much and the God who has given all.
And congratulations to big Stewart Gane aka Dad on his win at the Sheffield Golf tournament last Saturday. Especially his 3rd shot on the par 5-5th hole. It looked like a good shot before he walked up to the green to find the ball not there... until someone told him to look in the hole under the flag :o)
