To Young People

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." -1Peter 5:6-11

Forgive me, Lord, for not trusting you. I hope I can cling to you and not forget.

2010. May you be better than the last. :)

Well, I just counted down. Cheered with champagne with my family. and now im watching part2 of Dick Clarke's New Years which doesn't include Dick Clark or Ryan Seacrest. But its fun.
2009. What a year! It has been probably one of the crappiest (circumstances wise). The beginning of the year I was stressed out with school and other life circumstances. Summer was nice though. Then this fall quarter it was just one thing after another. It was like getting punched in the face in quick succession. But even though all this crap happened, I've learned what it means to give it to God...to fully trust him. I'm not saying I've got it down and life is chipper, but it's finally clicked. God has blessed me abundantly and I've come to see that. The friendships that I've made have grown more this year and I hope that they are able to continue to grow. I've been blessed with loving family and friends. Hm, perhaps its too late to be writing this, my thoughts are all jumbled.

Here's to 2010. I hope that it is better than the last.
