Content with Life

Everyday we take things for granted
Not appreciating the car we have
The roof over our heads
The free education
Let alone the 'almost' clean air we breath in
At least we're still alive!

Driving back home
I thought of the conversation I had
The things shared
The miracles and blessings God offered
And just couldnt help
But sigh and be in awe of what God has relieved me off
Of all the trials and tribulations

Of course I've been through my fair share of "unfortunate events"
Talk about depression, peer pressure, rejection, self-consciousness
But God has really and I mean really spared me on other "tough stuff"
The journey I had so far has been a very humbling experience
Maybe I can share another time
When the time is right
Cos whatever shared will be a huge surprise
Except for those who witnessed the craziness of that phase

What I went through was quite big
I will say it was kinda or really like a "life or death" matter
But I learned from my mistakes
And asked for forgiveness
For I've put not only myself but those around me
Through days of sleepless nights and haunting memories

BUT for now.....

I'm content with life

For my life's not only mine

But it also belongs to God

For He knitted me in my mother's womb

I've been through happy times

I've been through tough times

But now I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Even though the tunnel was a very dark one

I'm grateful for the "Kenari" I drive

And for the Kindy I work at

For my family and friends

But mostly my faith

Don't get me wrong

I'm nobody perfect

Though I was an extreme perfectionist

A side of me that almost crippled myself

I though God was perfect

Oh well He is

But we were all born with sin

So why try the unforeseen

That's a part of me

I have left behind

For what's left ahead

Is all in God's hands

For now my heart is filled with gratitude

To the One I truly adore

I love Him so much

Words are not enough

He knows my every detail

My likes, my dislikes, my ugly side

But He is ever willing to forgive and comfort

And change me to the beauty of His own likeness

Same with you!

Just give your heart to Him

And he'll show you everything

From things unknown to infinity

Be content with life

For if you have running water

A roof over your head

And 3 meals a day

You are better than 80%

Of the worlds population

Whom don't share the same luxuries

We have but take for granted

Content with life

That's whats I'll be

For all these I don't deserve

Fallen short of the Glory of God

But He doesn't count this against me

My sins are washed away

As far as the East is from the West

With God I'll go on this quest
