thankful @ 24!

Time really flies so fast! woot woot! Goodbye 23! Hello 24!

They say don't count your birthdays, instead count your blessings! And I have so much to thank for! Thank you Lord for another year- another year older but a much wiser ME.. :)

Thank you Lord for this LIFE. It wasn't been so much perfect but nevertheless I wouldn't exchange my life for anything. There were things that I failed, mistakes I made, but then You were always there to remind me that LIFE is beautiful. You have given me a life that has so many lessons on it, some I learned the hard way, but it was all so good!

I want to thank you Lord for giving me a very supportive family. Not perfect, not even close to perfection. But just real to care, support and love me. I'd always be thankful for them. And believe it or not, I'd still want them for a family in my next life. We may have our own shortcomings, misunderstandings and difficulties but I always take it as your way of reminding us how much you trust our family. I believe that You will not give us problems that we can't overcome. Everything happens for a reason. We just have to wait and see why things happen, because in the end You have better plans than we could ever imagine and we should trust You.

Thank you Lord for your blessings called Friends. I am proud to say that You've showered me with true friends. I don't have tons of them. They may be few but they are absolutely real and true! They're my moral supporters too. They are the ones who reminds me how beautiful I am when I'm forgetting to love myself. And to those friends of mine that though we were separated for years but still manage to connect and update each other time to time--thank you for making our friendships continue to grow stronger beyond distance and time.

I may not be rich in material things but having these people in my Life, I could say I'm rich BIG TIME! No amount of money can replace the joy of having true people in my Life! They are the people who mold me to be the person that I am now. I may not have everything, but I have enough. :)

Lord, thank you for always being present in my life, for guiding me and for making me a stronger person everyday. I'm sorry for the times I forget you, but You never fail to forget me. You didn't gave me what I want most of the time, but You've given me what I mostly needed which is indeed so much helpful! Please always remind me that I cannot change everything to my preference but I can change the way I think about it! Remind me that I need to be positive as always.

At 24, my life isn't perfect, no one else's life is though. But despite of the imperfection, I'm still thankful. I will always be thankful. I am terrific and always be terrific. I am tough and will be tougher.

Lord, I know you have great plans for me. Whatever challenges may come my way, I know I can surpass it because I have you. You have given me another year and there's so much to celebrate with it. So lucky that I still exist! :)

Thank you so much for everything! I love you Lord!

You are GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!

Happy New Year to Me!!! :)
