Entry: "You were there..."

I just wanted to take the time to thank you again for being there when I needed you. Who are you? You are you, there really isn't a reason for me to have to explain who you are since your actions sort of speak for themselves. You were there for me from the start, when I took my first breath, even though I was much too excited at the time to take notice of you or what you were doing for me. Even when I was a small child, you were there for me, guiding me through my early years, keeping me safe from harm, steering me and directing me. Although I was much too busy being a kid to notice what you did or when you did what you did, now it is quite apparent to me that you were there for me all along. When I was coming up through high school and getting into my fair share of trouble, you were there, helping me to understand the difference between right and wrong and allowing me to experience the consequences of my actions firsthand. As I grew into a young adult male you were there, catching me whenever I fell, which was often, and setting me back on the correct path to adulthood. You were there as I started a family, even then I was too occupied to notice how much you were there for me as life just didn't seem to want to pan out the way I wanted it to...but still you were there for me. Even now as I still continue to grow you are there for me, in fact it is so obvious that you never left me all along, even in my darkest moments or times of doubts.

You were there for me, and are still there for me. And will always be there for me. Thou art wonderful God. I am who I am because of you.
