He must live

It's my birthday. This year is with every year, I am so grateful to God for life. I was very sick as a baby and as a toddler. As a teenager I had this huge yellow patch on my face right through high school. Nothing my mom tried worked. My classmates called me all kinds of names because of that patch. I also developed disgust for medicine due to all the medicines i had to take during this period.

As a young adult, there were several times I could have died. This one time we went to a park in Miri that had a waterfall. It was great. I can't swim so I stay in the shallow parts of any water body. I'm used to the gentle slope you experience at the beach so I approached this lake with that mindset. Expecting the gradual decline and experiencing a shock when suddenly there was nothing I could stand on. I sank and the bottom was deep. I went down once, came back up, looked around and everyone was laughing. I went the second time and as I came out I screamed help and a strong arm held me and led me out of the water. It was Jeremy. I could have died that day but didn't.

As I was praying, I suddenly realize contentions for my life and how God steps in always to say He Must Live. It's a privilege to have a father in heaven.

I'm grateful for my friends far and near and for my family. When I look back there is so much that has happened and I was just telling God that I am expectant to see what he has in store for me in the coming years.

Thank you father for life. I am grateful.

-ONWARD!
