one year more

I had a nice 24^th birthday yesterday. I haven't been feeling/sleeping very well for about a week. But yesterday was nice. My mom made me a strawberry cake and bought me a new pair of shoes. She got just what I wanted and they were on sale.
Christa surprised me. I had no idea what she would get me. She bought me John Piper's book Counted Righteous in Christ. I've read the introduction online. This is nifty, it came with 5 cds of Piper's preaching on the subject from Romans 5:12-21. This is actually the first Piper book I own. The others I've read online or as pdf's.
I actually painted yesterday, too, using water colors. I'll post it when it is finished.

grace and peace
