Birthday wish: By the Holy Spirit, to love recklessly. "We loved because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19

I was talking to that crazy BFF about what I wanted for my 21st: "I want books. And letters. And hugs. And a boyfriend. Hahaha." There is deep wonder at how God speaks so directly to where I am. I have been carrying a sinful heartache (more like a nagging restlessness). Even at the cusp of adulthood, I love leaning on my Dad. I love calling on him for help, annoying him with my childish nonsense, and calling him "Pboo-Pboo" at random (please don't judge). It's this feeling of security that I am looking for.

Love my lil' oven One thing, I didn't get good photos of the cheesecake.. Cos my hands were oily from eating party food. How you must be thinking, are you gonna show the cheesecake or not?

It will be stocked with baking stuff I need and a worktable to get my hands dirty on. Bliss.
