| Dear God, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you---in the name of the Father, of the Son,
of the Holy Spirit--for every single thing that's happened to
and with me in 2008. I may have seemingly fallen in/out of
life/love, but then I'm grateful for all the things I've
seen, learned, and experienced. It's because of you,
Lord, that I'm here, and it's for you that I've chosen
to continue living despite the adversities that came my way.
Only you and I will always know what we've both been through
together. There have been times when I nearly felt like giving up
as everything seemed vague and inner peace seemed illusive. I knew
you were just there, perhaps trying to test my faith, but to no
avail, because this child of yours was born to combat all
negativity, within and without. Hence, I surrender again to
you all my strengths and weaknesses with a prayer that you will
hold sway over whatever temptation coming my way, and my permission
that you may bypass my freewill because I trust that with you, I
will never go wrong. How can I? Let satan tell it to the marines!
I thank you, God, for every time I opened my rented room and
I would just curl up behind the door crying my heart out like a
poor kid screaming "Help me if you can. I'm feeling
down..." I'm sorry for the times that I felt so far
away from you, and I thank you for helping me pick up the pieces
again, learn from my mistakes, grow from the experience.
Please give me the grace to forgive all those who have hurt me. My
resolution for the New Year is that I will be closer to You, I will
be more faithful to You, I will continue to be Your instrument of
Peace for everyone around. As a writer, a makeup artist, a
beauty queen coach/mentor, a call center agent, a citizen of the
Philippines... I want You to utilize my talents, gifts, abilities,
intelligence, and other skills to help make this a better place to
live in and to contribute something to the healing of the world.
Thank you so much for everything. With all my heart, mind and soul, Ariel Allera |
