it’s his birthday today. and even if he’s not the type to celebrate his own birthday, i can’t help but celebrate him. because i’m really really grateful for him for a lot of things, and not just because he’s my boyfriend.

he knows when to speak up and when to keep quiet.

he shows me that i can do and be better when i’m happy with “good enough.”

he helps me keep my promises.

he points me to God whenever i look to him for rescue… even if he looks bad at that time.

he challenges me to keep on seeking God, and spending more time with Him, all the more now that i have him.

for these (and then some) i am grateful for his presence in my life.
