I would never stop thanking God
Because when I look back over my life, even to this very day, I see a God who covered me in moments I didn't even realize I was vulnerable.
A God who carried me trough seasons that should have broken me. A God who lifted me out of situations I didn't have the wisdom, strength, or clarity to navigate on my own.
He stepped into places I couldn't handle and fought battles I didn't know how to face.
Every time I thought I was alone, He was the one holding me together. And that is why gratitude will always flow from my heart.
His faithfulness hasn't just visited my life, it has sustained it. He's has been constant, patient, and kind, even when I wasn't.
When I look at everything I've overcome, I know it wasn't luck... It was Him. And for that, I'll thank God every single day.
Eu sempre vou agradecer a Deus
Quando eu penso na minha vida, até hoje, vejo um Deus que me protegeu em momentos em que eu nem percebia que estava vulnerável.
Um Deus que me carregou em alturas que me teriam destruído. Um Deus que me tirou de momentos em que não tinha o discernimento, a força ou a serenidade para lidar sozinho.
Ele entrou em situações que eu não conseguia gerir e travou batalhas que eu não sabia como enfrentar.
Sempre que pensava que estava sozinho, era Ele que me mantinha firme. E é por isso que a gratidão nunca deixará de existir no meu coração.
A Sua fidelidade não só marcou a minha vida, como a sustentou. Ele tem sido constante, paciente e bondoso, mesmo quando eu não o fui.
Quando olho para tudo o que superei, sei que não foi sorte... Foi Ele. E por isso, agradeço a Deus todos os dias.

I’m glad that you’ve had some assistance from a higher power during challenges, I think it’s important that we try to see it that way. We should try to see it in a way of “what is this trying to teach me?” Instead of “this sucks!!”
A priest had mentioned a famous saying years ago that stuck with me, along the lines of “when we pray for help, do we get the help directly or do we get the opportunity to be helped and we have to recognize it?” It was a good one!
What wise words that priest said to you. Exactly like that. We shouldn't look at faith as something “childish” where we're in trouble and something supernatural helps us in an almost magical way, but as something that connects us to everything else around us. It's like you say, recognizing what around us can or could be the presence of God.
Thank you very much for your comment.
Amazing -- this is a lovely post to see 🙏 It makes me joyful to see others placing their faith in God, and seeing results from it!
I was once an addict; God gave me the willpower to QUIT! 🙏 I never envisioned myself having children, and God sent me the right man 🙏 We recently suffered a miscarriage; God helped us stay strong and helped our love grow!
Congratulations to you, and have a happy new year! ❤️
Thank you for your very personal and important comment. You shared a lot of what you have been through in your life. I want to thank you for your gesture of trust in talking about such personal and sensitive matters. We are sure that God will continue to show his presence, both in you and in the good people around you, such as your partner. I hope that you will overcome this latest difficult episode that has affected you, and I hope that your mutual love will help you grow as a couple and as individuals in the face of any adversities that may arise.
Thank you for your words, which are also a strong sign to me that God is in all of us. And that in this particular case, He manifested Himself in your words.
Happy New Year, @borderline.babe! 🍀
