Gratitude and glory

God, thank You for answering my prayer that day. You blessed clarity to my vision and only then could I stop from staying at the same place. I think things would've been much worse if You hadn't done so. You saved me from a lot of pain. Thank You for always looking out for me, dropping hints, and protecting me like how a Father does to His child.

God, thank You for the results I've gotten. Honestly without You I don't think I could've made it thus far.  For the strength You've given me, for the courage You've bestowed upon me, for the quiet support You've been giving me in everything I do, thank You so, so much. It feels as though my Father is encouraging me.

God, thank You for blessing my dream. It's such a miracle that You and only You are able to do so. You didn't just bless my dad's mind. You gave me a direction. You told me that this is in fact the path You wish for me to take, and that's, I believe, the greatest encouragement and approval that I've ever received. Thank You for having faith in me, thank You for believing me that I can do this.

God, thank You for giving me rest whenever I desperately need it. "Go rest and do not bother about the rest, I will handle it. Now rest, my child." I can imagine You saying this. :) No matter how wrong the way I was dealing with everything, You took care of me, held me together and never allowed me to break down from overworking myself. I felt that You were there. I knew that someone was holding me together. Were You sad? I knew You were there giving me support.

God, thank You for giving me a chance to adjudicate. You gave me much more than I ever expected. I went there just to spectate the competition and support my friends from CHS but You gave me a chance to adjudicate. I started off as just a panel but You made me a chair of a room. After that you put me as one of the adjudicators from the adj core's panel, giving me such a valuable chance to learn. You allowed me to break as student adjudicator and I paneled with another adjudicator from the adj core. You knew I had no chance to debate but You made a way for me. To learn.

God, thank You for giving me a chance to try something I've never once thought of. English forum. Thank You for believing me I can do it, when I have trials to prepare for, three teachers' expectations to meet, sub-editor's work to do, design edits to complete as a design executive, a debate competition to prepare for, and this. I'll try my best.

God has worked so many miracles in my life, each of different magnitudes, but never failed to show that the impossible can be possible in His hands. All of these things have served to glorify Him.

Sometimes, even being happy despite everything glorifies Him.
