Thank you for your beautiful testimonies last night. God is so good. Thank you for glorifying his beautiful work in your lives. 

Ark class of 2012 - 
Once again, once again, once again, I am SO honored to have been counted among you. I have enjoyed you, and learned so much from you these past few years. I’m so thankful to have run alongside you. I thank God for his timing that brought me to college not a minute sooner or later than he intended; I can’t imagine my path as any different from what it has been. God is so generous, kind, faithful, and perfect in his provisions. 

“He’s not socially awkward. He’s just boring.”

I don’t even know who you’re talking about (it’s one of her coworkers), but Mo… I love you :)

I Love My Mom.

“Breathe, breathe, breathe this week & treat yourself to some healthy meals/take-out on me & Dad so you don’t need to spend time cooking, but get the important fuel (food) you need while working so hard.

Love you tons & maybe we can talk over the weekend :)”

This week I have been feeling really tired, sluggish, and like I am limping across the finish line with my thesis. This was such a nice pick-me-up. 

Jesus, you have been so good to me and have taught me so much through this process. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for my parents, who love me. If anything I feel encouraged to pick myself up and sprint the last few yards, with joy - I want to honor my mother and father, and steward the incredible gift they have given me. My education, if you look at it really, is a manifestation of their love for me. And in their love for me manifests God’s own love.

Anyway. I want to honor them. They are worthy of honor. Thank you for this gift.

Dad, I love you too! (you are more likely to read this than she is).

I’m almost done! So close!
