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!!”

“I love every sun that sets its brightness perfectly. I love every flower that grows beautifully under the sun. I love every green roots that never grows shy every morning. I love who I am. I love you.”

YHANG BDAY 26

In a world so filled with sin and pain,

Desperation and loneliness,

Escapism and fear,

I am not afraid to believe in something bigger than me.

Something beautiful and life-changing,

And fulfilling and real..

In a world of doubt, I am not afraid to believe.

I am not afraid to stand firm on the hope my Heavenly Father has given me.

I am not afraid to trust that He is with me, with us,

And wherever we wander.

God Bless Us..

“Right now you may be tired, stressed and discouraged, but don’t give up on your future, life and dreams. Just keep believing, hoping and praying. God makes miracles everyday. You never know today or tomorrow might be your day.”

YHANG BDAY 25

We’re supposed to be tired.

We’re supposed to be defeated.

We’re supposed to be stagnant..

Because these places are temporary,

And we will eventually change.

So stop..

Stop worrying.

Stop wondering.

Stop letting yourself feel defeated and broken.

You are none of those things.

You are a person who is growing, changing, learning, becoming, and succeeding.

And where you are right now?

That’s exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Trust in the moment, and more importantly,

Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart.

You are incredible and strong.

YOUR PAST WAS GOOD.

YOUR PRESENT IS BETTER.

But YOUR FUTURE IS FAR GREATER!

God Bless Us..

YHANG BDAY 24

I am me,

I bend I do not break,

I have power I don’t knew of..

Untapped.

Who am I?

Walk my shoes and understand,

Smile my smile and feel me,

Cry my tears to understand my fears,

Grab my hand when I walk in life..

I am me – unique and special

I am human,

I am powerful,

I AM ME..

“I’ve lived my life in some of the world’s busiest cities so I know the woes aligned with living in densely populated areas. However, I love my privacy and personal space, and feel the need to be in control of who is allowed to trespass.”

“I was always a loner, even at home, and definitely at work, so if there is one thing I know how to do it is to be alone literally and figuratively.”

“Today, I am choosing to close the door. It’s been really long since I felt this positive and happy. And honestly, I can’t wait for life to take me through a new and exciting chapter. I really want to move ahead. I want a good and happy life. I want a life filled with good people, love and happiness. And I wish the same for you as well.”

God Bless Us..

YHANG BDAY 23

Mysteriously,

Wonderfully,

I bid farewell to what goes.

I greet what comes;

For what comes cannot be denied,

And what goes

Cannot be detained..

God Bless Us..

YHANG BDAY 21

Without our family,

Without our friends,

Without our colleagues and other people,

Without God..

We’re nothing, really.

Least we can do is be thankful –

To say a heartfelt, “Thank You.”

And live our lives knowing that we owe other people; that we owe everything to God.

Yes? Great!

Alright, let’s keep trying.

Each morning is a new beginning.

A new opportunity to live better,

To do things in a better way than how it was done before.

#BirthdayThoughts

God Bless Us..
