to be thankful

During the hardest summer of my life to date, I learned to lean on the Lord the most. Perhaps it was because I had nothing else to hope for, nothing else to depend on - whatever the case, it was a precious time and will always hold a special place in my heart (although this is by no means saying I would gladly take the mcats over again - trust me, I don't). I know that prayers and constantly meditating on His goodness had helped me tremendously, but also one thing that kept me going was constantly give thanks to HIM. No joke, I would wake up and tell myself 5 things I am thankful (from the previous day or just in general), or give a quick prayer of thanks before completely knocking out on my makeshift bed.
I'm not super good about blogging, so I won't make some ridiculous promise like I'd post in this thankfulness part daily. So the goal, at least once a week.. =)

the sisters I have in Christ
I have trouble sleeping; I have nightmares, every night; the mother noticed my constant sighing and random bursts of "AH" and is beginning to question... but despite all these, I'm constantly being reminded of how good God is and that He has a plan for everything. The sisters at LBC are so encouraging.



We definitely had our share of rough patches and silent treatments, but for the past couple of years, she's been with me through it all. I called her at 3am in the morning when I was panicking, didn't know what to do, all alone at my brand new apartment. <3




"you're trying!!"
i think that says enough.. <3



Two years, we never really talked, even once. This past quarter, strangely, I was the TA for the class she's taking! And hence the start of our Monday Dates =) I like her lots.
