God's Promise. My Miracle.

I would like to take a moment to publicly thank God for my miracle.  For nearly 10 years, I prayed and tried with an imperfect heart to believe God for His promise.  I nearly always believed, but never really saw myself standing here.  My heart believed the word of the Lord, so deep in my heart, I knew I would, but I never saw it in my mind's eye.  I didn't think that it could be like this.  I didn't think I'd know a happiness this deep.  I didn't think I'd feel a love that strong in this area of my life.  Thank you, Heavenly Father, Giver of all good things, and Provider of my each and every need.  I worship you today for this miracle... for being faithful... for fulfilling your promise... because that is who you are...  a wonderful and faithful God.  :)  I give you thanks for manifesting it today, and I give you thanks for protecting and treasuring it every day for the rest of our lives.  I trust you with that.  I trust you with my family.  I trust you with my heart.  I swim in Victory.  I swim in God's favor.  I swim in God's love.  And He's proved it.  Thank you, my friend.  I don't know what else to say but that.  So.... thank you.  *smirk*

Bless the name of the Lord God forever.  May His name be forever praised.

Edit (2008-06-30)  Due to John's comment below, I would like to clarify -- by "believed," I am not referring to believing in God or the things of God.  I have always, as most of you know, believed in God, and have had a very real and personal relationship with him throughout my entire life.  I am referring to a very specific promise God gave me concerning the matters of my heart that was very recently manifested in a full and beautiful way.  :)
