I had a great birthday with my family and friends. I slept in a little, Caleb and Tim served me breakfast in bed (a first for me!), and I even got to spend some time reading and scrapbooking. Becky stopped by and gave me the most beautiful sweater. And Zora and Dobrovoje also visited with me and brought another cake for us to eat. Though it was hard to be away from family, the Lord has been so kind in giving me family here. Before coming to Serbia, I remember reading this verse near the end of Romans that I had never read before: "Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too" (16:13). God not only gave me Zora as a "mother" but really I have two other precious women who would claim to be my Serbian mother too. And not only mothers, but sisters and brothers in Christ too. God is so good, and I'm so blessed to have celebrated my birthday with people I love.
