What I am Most Thankful For.

2014 has been a challenging year for me. My faith in God and in myself was tested. But what's good about tests is that there are two results available: you succeed or you fail. Not all who face trials come out as wounded individuals. Some come out as survivors. In all honesty, I can say that I survived the test and came out as a better individual.

I became wiser and stronger to let go of things that aren't meant for me and I became braver to step on a different path which is way out of my comfort zone. I learn how to forgive the people who haven't treated me fairly. I learn to let go of hatred and chose to dwell on the positive side. It has not been an easy journey. It took me long hours of crying and contemplating.

Months of looking for the best field for me to serve as my ground zero. It was hard, and tiring and obviously a lot of effort was exerted. But after many months, I have talked seriously with myself and the Lord. I asked for His divine providence. It is really on those difficult times that we will be able to see His omniscence and omnipotence. I had encountered several rejections this  year  and sometimes I cant help but ask Him why? Or even why me? But just when I am about to lose hope and just laid to His feet everything, like giving Him the steering wheel of my life, there He took me to the right path. He really knows what my heart wanted, and He never made me settle for less than I deserve, and with that I am completely thankful.

After all that had happened, I was just thankful with everthing that has happened to me in the past year. Lord, thank you for everthing. I won't give much emphasis on the good and happy times coz I know I had made it a habit to thank You for those kind of things. But let me thank You for the trials and the struggles I faced this year because on those trials, I became a better person and also, Lord, thank you for the presence of the people I value who never gave up on cheering me when all I do was cry. Thank You Lord for Your guidance. It was You who made this all possible, and with that, I cannot find a word to describe how much I am competely thankful.
