Another Birthday

Yet another birthday! My poor husband's plans to celebrate my birthday this year were crashed as our family was attacked with various sicknesses. Brian, Marvin's nephew, had to spend a night at the hospital with dengue and pneumonia! I, on the other hand, had toenail surgery and was miserable that night. Still, I am reminded that I have so much to be grateful for as the Lord allows me yet one more year of life. That night, as I cried out to Him in pain, I was reminded that I am so unworthy of His grace, yet I simply cannot survive without it. I don't even want to imagine a second without His grace. I am so thankful to be His daughter. I was humbled as I felt such a great need of Him that night to relieve me of my pain. Why do I struggle so much to be disciplined and faithful in seeking the one I need so badly when I don't FEEL that desperate need for Him? I pray that He continues to grow me this year and weave His character into me. I am sooo thankful for my husband, daughter, family and the many loved ones I have and the rich life I enjoy. He has been so good to me! I pray I can serve Him and love Him more wholly and effectively this year. May His name be glorified!
