My suprise today was that I didn't have to work… Unfortunately it was because I was feeling ill. I have been a little under the weather for 4-5 days so I think I just needed the rest. I accomplished a few things.. I was able to sleep/rest, clean the house, and spend some time writing ideas for Young Life messages.
I got a Caribou Chai Tea Latte dropped off at my front door from a friend while I was taking a 30 minute shower. Little excessive I know, but it felt so good… I suggest you try it tonight.
Another suprise was at Young Life.. My energy has been pretty low because of being sick and not getting outside and being as active as I should. But God brought 8 guys to YL club. Sorry Cathy, no girls… But it is such a welcoming suprise to know you called 3-4 of the guys and the word spread from there!
I also think I am being suprised with some car troubles… More on that later…

So the suprise me thing was pretty cool today… It was my birthday, kind of a cheating way to be suprised, but also a great way to start a month of asking God to suprise you.
I had assumed we were going to Gameworks @ Block E for my birthday. I told people about it and was pretty pumped to do some bowling and DDR. Best friend Chuck decided he had a work deal and would meet us later, then dinner got moved from Block E to D'Amico & Sons and I was just going with the flow as I normally do. The bathroom was locked at D'Amico so when we picked up chuck, I had to use the bathroom very quickly!! I opened the door to run to the bathroom in the back and to my suprise.. 20+ of my friends from all over were in the kitchen watching me run in…
I couldn't have asked for a better day/night. I was expecting and was content with a small group of friends going to play some video games, but there was a fun night of conversation and laughs in store that I had no idea about.
Thanks Guys and Gals

Well today is my birthday, so I should get a special suprise right? I almost thought I did… I went to the local Caribou, where they all know my drink order (need to switch it up i think). At the register they asked if I wanted a free extra shot in my large mocha. Of course I do!! Who doesnt need that extra kick in the morning? I was quite excited all the way to work, until I was in the elevator and noticed on the lid of my coffee, there was a sticker. OFFICIAL COFFEE OF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME: Free extra shot on April 4th and April 5th!!
So my first suprise is that Caribou and the National Time Organization have so generously scheduled my birthday into a special present!
Its nothing earth shattering, but nonetheless, I wouldn’t have noticed had I not been thinking “Suprise Me”.
Tonight should be full of suprises, some friends are taking me out for my birthday and I don’t know too much of what is going on.
At first I was super excited for the “suprise me” month, but then it dawned on me that not all suprises have happy endings. So in my “suprise me” month I hope to have the strength and support to endure all suprises I come across.
