长不大的女孩

"Thank you/ For the promises You made/ For the gift of life You gave/ Always, I will sing Your praise"

I was on the train platform waiting for the train, when it struck me that i had so much to thank for.

Thank You Lord, for me.

Thank You, for my family.

Thank You for Junhan.

Thank You for my friends, every single one of them.

Thank You Lord, for keeping my house safe when i left in a hurry and didn't have time to do the usual safety checks.

Thank You for shielding me from harm and keeping me safe in Your hands when i was two steps away from being knocked down by a speeding truck.

Thank You for keeping Junhan safe wherever he goes, and catching him whenever he falls.

Thank You for keeping my aunt healthy, and renewing her with strength even though she's not a believer.

Thank You for waking me up every morning and not allowing me to snooze the alarm clock too much, i would have otherwise been late for morning classes.

Thank You for planning out my life already for me.

Thank You for the gift of love, the ability to feel and the want to extend the love you put in me to the people around me and beyond me.

Thank You for raising me up in a good environment, where i enjoy a relatively good lifestyle and good upbringing.

Thank You for Your daily revelations.

Thank You for teaching me to tithe, for telling me the importance of saving both in Your kingdom and the earthly world, and teaching me that tithing actually means that You are in control of my finances and not the Devil.

Thank You for Michelle and the whole of E427, who never looked at me in a different light when i backslided.

Thank You for random strangers who smile at me along the way, and churchgoers that brighten up my day by smiling and thanking me and telling me "It was wonderful to worship Jesus with you today", even though i hadn't the faintest idea who she was.

Thank You for allowing me to catch my bus in time every single day.

Thank You for restraining my urge to get angry or spout angry words whenever i'm provoked.

Thank You for the Bible, from which i have learnt many valuable phrases regarding the ways of life.

Thank You Lord, for every single day of my life, every single event in my life, good or bad.

I have so much to thank for, and all that i've thanked for above doesn't even make the tip of the mountain of things and people i have to thank for.

Thank You, thank You, thank You Lord.

Always and always and always. 

Hallelujah and Amen.
