Blessed to have been there...Thank You Lord :-) ❤️

I have heard this statement many times and it gives me the courage to do things in accordance with the will of God, by His grace alone and not on my own strength. I praise and thank God for this encouragement "I see problems as opportunities to trust God."

Time and again, trials and or struggles are part of life. I have been into many life's tests and I praise and thank God to have passed them and I came out victorious. To God be all the glory and honor and praise. And as part of my #uloghugot today, I am so happy and blessed that God had given me lots of friends to who came along to make things easier and lighter for me to carry.

I was browsing my fb account and saw this picture and suddenly this post came to mind. It made me wonder too, how I was able to pose like that in front of our photographer bwahhahaha. So here's my #uloghugot today:

"If you've never been there, be thankful because you're blessed to haven't been there. The only thing you can, at least do is to understand, instead of judging, the person who have been there. You don't need to be there just to be able to comprehend everything that person went through, because that particular 'there' is designed only for that person. It is not meant for you. Because if you are to be 'there' you might not just going to make it unlike that person. So be thankful and always have the desire to look at the bigger frame...bigger picture...God didn't designed it for you but for others who are capable of enduring such challenge."

Many times life will really test you and put you in difficult circumstances. But you don't need to worry because God is always with you, He will always provide a way out for you. He is a good and loving God. He will not let you remain in that situation forever.

I thank God for all the blessings, all the good things in my life. I praise and thank God for steemit because I was able to meet great friends and humble people here, first of course is the person who invited me here, my online and offline and very gorgeous steemit mentor, @bloghound and all members of steemit northluzon, gratefulvibes and steemit diversify family (@surpassinggoogle, @bobbylee, @paradise-found a.k.a. papa bear, @sunnylife, @wilx, @jbn, @mhm-philippines a.k.a Daddy William, @apnigrich, @cecicastor, @guarddog, @coquiunlimited, @frostyamber, @birjudanak, @leeart, @vegasgambler, @kennyroy, @iyanpol, everyone)

I praise Him even more for the bad things that have happened in my life because, these things, my "been there" moments have made me tougher, stronger, wiser and bolder. Thank God for everything, indeed! :-) ❤️
