How do I start this? I really don't know how but I'm just really happy for all the blessings that God has given me. So let me start it by quoting one of the verses that inspired me this morning.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:34
So a couple of weeks ago, my nephew was taken away from us for some reason that I don't feel like discussing here. All of us were very alarmed to the point that my parents and my brother bashing each other because they couldn't accept the fact that my nephew was treated like an object (that's what they think). My 7-year-old nephew is the only reason why all of us still fighting for life especially for my parents. That's why they were the ones very affected when that happened. I really didn't know what to do and it sucks to just look at the situation and cannot do something about it. I really felt bad for my parents and my brother because I could feel their pain. I was hurt too but I was thinking positively that my nephew will be back. Since we were all paralyzed into that situation, the best thing I decided to do it to put all the worries and pain to God. I cried out and prayed to get things better.
And guess what, after one week my nephew was back and it was also my dad's 51st birthday. So I got to things to be thankful that day and that was my dad long years on earth and my nephew's homecoming.
Next, you know how I cried out in my posts where I wrote about how I'm feeling stupid and not being accurate at work? Do you guys remember that? Guess what, I still make mistakes! Lol But the thing is, the mistakes I make now are not really detrimental but acceptable. And my boss even told me that she appreciates my work and she thinks I'm improving. That really made my day!!! Seriously, I couldn't help but smile the moment she said that. Because God knows how much I've prayed and worked hard to be accurate and not to make mistakes. But still, I know to myself that I need to focus on tiny details and be more organize. So awesome!
And lastly and the most fresh! Every month our company recognized people who don't get late and absent for the entire month by giving latest gadgets. Luckily, I was one of those people. I've never been absent/late since the day I started in my company. So yesterday, I was on my way to the office to attend a Fitness and Wellness health seminar and the draw. I know I was a calling from God that I'm gonna win that day. He keeps saying I'm going to walk away with gadget. I was hoping but not expecting. Fortunately, my name got picked three times. I won an iPod Nano in the first game which made me very happy. I was really thinking of giving it to my father as a birthday gift. So right after the first game, I went to washroom to express my happiness and also to thank God for that blessing. But then, he keeps on telling me that there's one more! So I was lost for the two games. But surprisingly, I won the last game. And an iPod Touch was the prize for that game. I had the power to exchange it into an iPad. So since we already have iTouch at home I decided to exchange it together with the Nano into an iPad. I was really so lucky and I kept on thanking God for that wonderful blessing.
You know what, the truth is I like that iPad but I know that I don't need it. I'm not very tech savvy but I'm not really aiming for it. The thought that I got it because I don't have missed concerts for three consecutive month fires me up big time. My family are very proud of me.
God's blessings are too much. I could not ask more! Yes, he's giving a lot of circumstances but the fact that he always guide me and bless me are enough to make me whole and praise him with all my heart. I really don't have luck when it comes to raffle but yesterday was different. I don't want to think that God is already rewarding me because those are just material things that I don't need but I know he's giving me those things for a purpose. And what is that purpose? Well, it's for me to know and it's for you to find.
I love youuuuuuuuuu so much Lord! :)
