After All, It was He who created and started it all

This is one of the longest birthdays I've ever been accustomed to. Yep, you heard me right. Today is my birthday! Yay! :D I'm in nightshift so from 12AM of this July 17th, I'm already getting messages and greetings, wishing me the best and most happiest of this day.

But nah, day did not start as jolly. Maybe, just so maybe, I'm already desensitized from things I myself don't know (or ok, maybe I know). I wanted to hide, really not looking forward of getting those cheers from friends and officemates. Years back, I'd always want to drop hints that this month's mine and that I'd brighten up and anticipate as my day draws nearer. But this time, it's different. Earlier, I honestly felt this is just one of those regular days when I'd look forward to my end of shift and rest away in our bed.

Must be the aftershock of the Typhoon Glenda that set the gloomy setting . She was here yesterday. Should I celebrate? Should I keep myself busy with work and just go with the flow? Oh my, never thought feeling blank would still make me anxious like this.

Pulled out my headsets and thought on drowning myself to random music. Looked up Marie Hines. Scrolled down for that first sound. Nothing fancies me. Pulled out my Hillsong list. Then it dawned on me. I need to start it right. Start the day right. After all, I came to this world 32 years ago and it was bliss. I know God was and is still is with me starting from the day I was born. And I ought to understand and focus my life back to the one who created me in the first place.

In that moment, I felt great. I felt refreshed. It's astonishing and amazing to see and feel how God works in what we think are the most simplest of ways. Never need to hear any word,  no touch at all. It all grows and goes straight to the heart. What more can I ask for?

And for this day, it uplifts me for once to not think about how I feel but on how God has been SO good and SO great to me, to my family, and to future! He truly is a GREAT GOD!

How Great Is Our God (Hillsong)
How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Happy Birthday my dear ME! You were made to do great things. And do those things for the glory of the one who created you. :)
