"30 YEARS"

30 Years of living on this earth. 30 Years of surviving all the challenges that fate has thrown on me. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.

30 Years of discovering myself and others. 30 Years of laughter, pains, joys, and sadness. There are times that I can't sleep because of excitement. There are times that I cry myself to sleep.

There are regrets and what-ifs. Wishes and dreams. Failures and Victories. Strangers that became Friends, Friends that became Strangers.

But most of all, It is 30 years of gratitude. For the things that I've lost. For the things that I have. And for the things that will come.

Today may not be an ordinary celebration, But there is still a reason to celebrate.

Thank you, Lord. For the gift of life, For being there in my ups and downs, And if ever I turn around. You'll still be waiting and believing, trusting and hoping.

Thank you, Lord. For my friends and family, For my work and finances, For our health and strength, For the food on our table, And the roof above our head.

Thank you for Your grace. Mercy and Forgiveness. Patience and Trust. Blessings and Directions. And Your Unmeasurable. Unexplainable. Unquantifiable. Unfathomable.

LOVE.
