Gratitudes on my birthday..
Well, well..what do we have here? A lady who's age just shoots up a year older? Ok..ok, 26 is not really that old. It could be worse. I could have been 26...and a quarter, or 26...and a half. Or I could have more grey streaks of hairs than the year before. I might also have to blow 969 candles on my birthday cake and burn my beards in the process. Like I said again, it could be worse.
A decade ago I was trying to frown as much as possible to create wrinkles on forehead, but never worked. Today, all I need is a '1+1 = 2' question to create 5 horizontal wrinkle lines on the same area.
Nevertheless, I have enjoyed life. God willing, I will enjoy some more. Life has not always easy, but through obstacles of life, God forms me into the kind of person I am now. The kind of person who is growing in and by faith from year to year. Someone who can't get enough of the Word of God and seems to get enough of giving my best for God. I'm relishing every moments I breathe and be thankful of every blessings that I receive. There is so much to be thankful of. Take every time to cherish them.
Today, I am so blessed that even though I'm rather new in my company, the staffs collected money to buy me a birthday cake. And I thought I have no cakes this year. I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to pay for my birthday dinner and family gathering tonight. It's awesome! And that's just in a day's blessings.
What can you be thankful about on your birthday?
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
And for those who prefers to read it in Indonesian...
"Bersukacitalah senantiasa. Tetaplah berdoa. Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal, sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus bagi kamu." (1 Tesalonika 5:16-18)

When God says "It is not
good for the man to be alone,
does that applicable to single
ladies as well?"(Genesis 2:18)
When God says"It is not good for the man to be alone, is that applicable to single ladies juga?"(Gen 2:18)
Well, it's a sin that a man steals someone's wife, so when it was written as such, memang kana kawin sama single ladies kan? Unless it's alright for Adam to marry Steve, which I doubt so.
You are one real life Balgobin la!
You inspired me though and i'm thankful for that. Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday...26,..em that's still young huh. Enjoy life and appreciate each of the second in your life..it may different tomorrow. GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD. Share in our(YA)next meeting.Here is some Bible Quote for us to remember goes "You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalms 73:24-26).
Yes it could be worse. You could have turned 30, or 40 (gasp)!
