Thankful.



It's 3 a.m. and I can't fall asleep, so I figure, might as well write a blog post since I haven't updated in awhile.

As Thanksgiving approaches and graduation is less than month away, there are many things to be thankful for. Today, I am especially thankful for:

- My fellow first-years in the Spiritual Formation program (a.k.a. my ISF cohort group). I did my Family Sculpture today, and I just felt so loved by their listening ears and prayerful hearts.

-Fun music and good times with friends. I saw Andrew Figueroa Chiang and the Blazing Rays of the Sun, Connie Lim, and Jane Lui, last Saturday at the Hotel Cafe with Edith and Lyndsey. It was so much fun :)

-The Lord's goodness and transforming work. I just think about where I was a year and a half ago, and I am so thankful that I see evidences of His love and grace, that I can smile and say that I do feel joy and life :)

-Cheap, good haircuts at Paul Mitchell's School and roommie time with Mel and Maling.

- Friends who have shown me what relationship means -rejoicing with me in the good, and holding me in the bad, for loving me, praying for me, and being there for me.

-The Family of God - seeing God's love and grace through my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially the Talbot family.

-Having the privilege of studying at Talbot. It's been an amazing 3 1/2 years. I am utterly amazed and blown away by the Lord's goodness and grace. And I am so thankful for the Lord's faithfulness in getting me through my first degree. I can't believe I'll be graduating with an M.A. in Bible Exposition in less than a month!
