Blessings in 2010

I can't believe that my last post was in May 2010! So much has happened since then. One time towards the end of last year (like it was a long time ago), I felt down as I had so many worries. It was then that I decided to count my blessings. To name a few:

Please take note, however, that these are just the major blessings that I can list online. There are still plenty that I receive regularly which I acknowledge each time I say my silent prayers throughout the day. Still, as I'm confident that God has many blessings in store for me which He excitedly wants to give to me, my guide in 2011 is:

Name it and claim it
Believe it and receive it!


Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings!
