gracias :)

Going through the daily grind definitely has its ups and downs. More often than not, I easily forget that I am abundantly blessed and it is Christ that has given me all these things. From now until the end of August, my life may drastically change. Comforts that I hold onto may quickly disappear, but I have faith that God will bring me much peace in whatever happens because he's leading me every step of the way.

I decided to compile a quick list of what I'm thankful for to remind me that even through times that seem hopeless, there is hope because of Christ :)

I empathize with my 1st graders because as I thought about what I'm thankful for...one page, one blog entry, one of anything would not suffice

I am thankful for...
  • Christ's sacrifice on the cross and for his daily reminder that I am his child
  • the strongest man I know..appa and his love for his only and favorite dahl :)
  • PPK Kim family..for loving me despite my 1st and 2nd year of college..(shudder..let us erase those memories, please?)
  • Marine :) for guidance, MUCH patience :), and understanding
  • University of California, Irvine...for the many years of providing me with a top notch education
  • my loving cousins Joanne & Eunice...thank you for the support, love, and nonstop feeding through the toughest of times
  • health, every breath I take, and the ability to comprehend information
  • a passion for teaching (I will not change careers :) Please don't tell me to even though the economy is horrible :)
  • books..without these, I would have a hard time functioning. Borders, Barnes and Nobles, old town bookstores..whatever it may be, however they may look....I can spend hours engulfed by a stack of books..they make me :) happy!
  • dskim,jkim, bora,marine,cj,jqt,lynna, cheena, jenki,sharah, mama... :) never fail to amaze me as you are all gifted in so many ways
  • I am thankful that Christ sustains me each day. If you are reading this, you probably know full well what my top three concerns are for this upcoming year. I ask that you would pray for me and help me to surrender these worries to him.

on a completely random note: Toy Story 3 was awesome! :) can't wait for Potter November 2010!!
