Happy Birthday To Me
And after another long wait (365 days), it's my birthday again. Whee!
This year, I would like to thank God for: 1) Taking care of mom, who had a cancer scare last year, but is back (healthily) to her dastardly line-dancing days of her life now. 2) Taking care of dad, who is getting more and more grumpy as the time goes by, but he's still healthy and can take care of himself. 3) My bro, who is learning to talk in more than grunts. 4) My health, which I am actually starting to pay attention to. I hurt my back last year, but a year on (June), it's fine - a little weaker, and I have to be more careful with it, but it's fine.
This year, I would like to ask God for one thing: my brother's salvation this year. No idea where he stands on this issue, but if you would pray with me and ask God to send people to talk to him about Jesus, it would be really cool, and I would be very grateful.
If you're getting me anything, please don't get me: 1) Cutesy stuff to display. 2) Clothes. 3) Bibles - english or chinese or english AND chinese, or any other language.
And this year, my wishlist reads like a crazy anime fan's wishlist: 1) Innocence: Ghost in the Shell 2 2) Princess Mononoke 3) Spirited Away/The Cat Returns 4) Appleseed 5) Steamboy 6) Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind 7) Howl's Moving Castle
Rie and MooMoo are already getting me the Lucifer #10 Graphic Novel (which is released on my birthday TODAY, so take that, Chi Tim!), so that's done.
I've been reading a lot of birthday posts from my friends, and in light of the general morose, nothing-big-lah posts, I'm almost ashamed to say that I'm STILL EXCITED ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY! Is that okay? I don't think I'll ever get tired of having a birthday. I might get depressed about the number of candles on the cake in the future, but I don't want to ever get blasé about surviving another year on God's grace. Life is wonderful, lovely and full, and I'm happy to be diving into it.
