Ever since the 22Sep08, I think that I’ve cried more times than I’ve cried in my entire life. Tears that most people don’t see but only God sees. I think that tears are really therapeutic and most definitely are God’s way of helping to cope with our emotions. I cry not because I’m fearful but mainly because of realizing the “bigness” of our God and the “smallness” of my human nature. I realize that praise and worship music helps me focus on thanking God. Thanking God seems to be the last thing on our minds if one is in my shoes. But it is a command and I would like to shout to the world that I’m giving thanks that even in this situation I still have Him. He is for me and I can trust Him.

I was thinking to myself if not for this situation I would still be in Yangon and living life as I normally would. Because of this, He has helped me moved on to another level of faith with Him and I can really now say that God is my refuge and my shelter, my very present help in times of trouble.

The nicest birthday present would be God’s gift to me and I’ve been thanking Him for it although my eyes have not seen it yet. It would be great to finally see it on 5Nov… =) But then again the greatest blessing He has given to me is the love of my family and for that, I’m eternally grateful.
