Things I am thankful for
he had when he visited the country for TLC Festival 2017. In the four hours or so that I spent with him on and off the stage, I learned so much about business and life principles, which I consider a rare privilege.
27. I am thankful for God’s supernatural favor. Last year, I was blessed to become the first- ever ambassador of Avon Home. But that endorsement was endangered when I lost my job at the cooking show. Come to think of it, how can you be an ambassador of cooking when you are not visibly cooking on TV? But I surrendered the matter to the Lord. It was Him who gave me the project the year prior and it is up to Him to give it still or take it away, whenever He pleases, for a good purpose.
And He supernaturally allowed me to be renewed even without a cooking show! I am blessed to say that I am still the Mombassador of Avon Home this 2018. Praise God for bestowing undeserved favor!
28. I thank God for giving me the desire and commitment to finish reading the Bible in 362 days. In my almost 7-year walk with the Lord, I never read the Bible from cover to cover. And so I tick that off of my 2017 spiritual goals. This year, I pray to be able to take Bible classes to study God’s Word more in depth.
29. I thank God for freeing me from debt, which I know is ultimately rooted in materialism. It was one of my three birthday prayers—that I will receive a cheque big enough to pay off my credit card debt, incurred from paying for things which I do not have the money for yet. Freedom from debt took place on December 13. Thank you Jesus! I have learned my painful lesson. It is not that credit card ownership and usage are bad because it is not—it is how I mishandled having it.
30. Thank you Lord for allowing our home furniture to be complete before Christmas—the day I turned 30. Some good things really take time. And when you wait patiently and faithfully, you see everything as a blessing—yes, even delays. Next to freedom from debt, it is really the completion of His Dwelling Place that is my bigger prayer because I know during the holidays, family would want to come over and be together.
And this home was blessed to us as a “meeting place,” where people will feel peace, love and ultimately God’s Presence (Ezekiel 37:27). I praise God because everything in our humble home was carefully decided and prayerfully acted on after God’s prompting, to be made exactly how He purposed it to become. I praise God for the suppliers that came my way and extended such favorable arrangements for our home. Thank you Mabel of Gree, Ria Ngo-Zamora of Hi-lites and Bonibelle Siy, owner of Best Wall Paper for being a blessing to us!
Thank you Lord for the 30years of my life—for how You have been working mightily through it.
These 30 things comprise only 30 percent of the total listed blessings on my Book of Blessings! And its only for the year that was!
I can only pray that You use me more so that others will desire to get to know You as their Lord and Savior, Friend and Father, Protector and Provider, Companion and Comforter. All I have is because of You. All Glory to You Alone!
