YHANG BDAY 27

DEAR LORD GOD,

Thank You for this Heart..

For this little muscle beating inside my chest.

Thank You for its resilience, for its strength.

Thank You for helping it beat through every morning when I was so, so tired and didn’t want to face the world.

Thank You for giving me physical strength –

To overcome obstacles, to push myself, to never quit.

Thank You for my emotional strength –

To let people in, to forgive, to share love with others.

Sometimes I forget how amazing this muscle is, bringing oxygen to my body, keeping me alive, reminding me to love, and keep on loving.

So Thank You..

Thank You for my Hands..

Hands to touch, to hold, to hug and to cherish.

Thank You for the time my parents have held my hands in theirs, for the times I could brush my niece’ hair, or reach across a quiet space and place a palm on my cheek.

Thank You for the ways my hands have learned, for the ways my hands have connected with other hands, and made me see beauty in imperfection.

So Thank You..

Thank You for Love..

For the capacity to feel, to open, to give.

For the ways You have shown me love and given me love from the people around me.

Thank You for my family, my best friends, my friends, my co-workers, my churchmates, for strangers, for lovers.

Thank You for the times You have shown my heart what it feels like to be cared for.

Thank You for teaching me how to give myself fully to others.

So Thank You..

Thank You for the Pain..

Thank You for all the nights my tears blended with the bath water, the nights I didn’t think I’d get over him or when I felt so misunderstood.

Thank You for the days I was afraid of my future, terrified of where I would go, or if I would do well, or if my words could actually mean anything.

Thank You for the heartbreak, for the tough lessons, for the exhaustion and brokenness.

So Thank You..

God Bless Us..

“Thank You my Lord Jesus Christ! How a timid, introvert, and shy person like me can be in a Church which Preaching the Gospel is an urgent task and meeting people is unbelievable. But You made it possible. This is really  not me, but YOU!!”
