Whatchamacallme: A prayer to God on my Birthday. There are three parts: The first part is Thank You. The second: Because. The third: I Swear. Each part is separated by sixteen dashes because that's how old I now am.
Thank You for creating me, for placing me with my parents.
Thank You for calling me to Yourself and to Your ministry.
Thank You for letting me be raised in the Church and for letting me have an awesome experience on Okinawa.
Thank You for my sisters, my parents, my friends.
Thank You for everything I have and everything I can do, because I know You gave them to me.
Thank You so much for Bible Bowl; it is very dear to me. Help me to lean on You and not on it; that was my mistake last time. I don't want to do it again, cuz it hurt when I fell.
Thank You for my personality; my spunkiness.
Thank You for creating me to love, cuz if You hadn't, I couldn't love You the way I do.
Thank You for freewill and for faith. For grace and Your Holy Spirit. I want to know You more, Spirit; help me. I want to grow a lot this next year, so bring on the troubles! But help me through them. I wish to be persecuted; then I know I am doing good. Teach me the Fruits of the Spirit. I wan to be like You. When people look at me, I want them to see You looking back. I want to be a light in the darkness; a city on a hill; the salt of the earth. I wan tot shine like a star in the universe. I want to be effective for You.
----------------
I thank You and praise You and want to be like You because You are good. You have always been there for me. You showed me what love is. You know me inside and out, and You do what's best for me according to Your will.
I thank You not just because You died, but You rose also. Because You're here with me now. Because You've shaped me. Because You love me so much.
Because I couldn't dream of not following You, and following the Devil instead. Because You saved me from the Devil when I was still in sin. You saved me even though You are righteous and holy and I was dirty and impure.
----------------
I shall love You 'til my final breath, and on even after.I will live for You, in You, by You, and through You. All of my days, I will follow Your paths. This I swear in Your name, Almighty God and Saviour; keep me to it. Amen
Thanks for reading, review if you like, i really don't care. But i'd be nice since it's my birthday!
