My family- We have continued to grow close to one another. Being together on weekends, watching television, laughing, travelling, eating out, sharing our stories and understanding each other better has been great! I appreciate more and more the love my parents have for me, and the sacrificial love they have to have for one another to make their marriage and this family stay strong. I am thankful for moments where we try to have quality time together- that means a lot. Having strong father and mother influences in my life, i see the importance of both- the gentleness, the care, the provision, the listening ears, the physical presence, the conversations, the working hands, the strong presence. I see it and feel the impact on me and this family. I am truly thankful.
Friends-Oh gosh its seriously God's great blessing to me that He has kept together so many of my friendships and still creates new ones in my life. I love that there is a a sense with me that no matter how long it has been, or how frequently we are able to meet, there are friendships that fill me with joy, laughter, sadness, frustration, encouragement and memories. It has been a great pleasure of mine to continue to love my friends, serve their needs, and get help from them in times when I am weary! THANKFUL!
Church- This year I have been able to see the gospel in my church family. It was this time last year when I heard my first sermon at Crossview, and I knew the gospel was working in these people. I am thankful for members who constantly love me, meet with me, serve me, and allow me to do the same for them for the sake of Jesus and the spread of the gospel through LA and Diamond Bar. God is faithful to this church.
Jesus Christ- Oh my sweet Savior... God humbled himself and came to earth as fully man and fully God to die for my wicked and selfish wayward soul. And although I continue to struggle with my troubling heart, He keeps and the Holy Spirit helps me persevere for the sake of His glory and Name. I am thankful God has chosen me from the beginning for salvation through sanctification and has called me through his gospel to obtain the glory of Christ
