:: Happy Thanksgiving ::
It's been such a hectic year that I've had only minimal time to appreciate of what I've been blessed with this past year. Despite all the great things that's happened to me in the last quarter of this year, the earlier part of this year has been extremely trying for me, and some of the fallout from those problems are things I'll still dealing with now and will be dealing with well into next year (the specifics of which I won't get into).

And yet, I'm grateful for those trials in a way since it really forces me to be thankful for the things I do have and occasionally take for granted. I have my health. I have a roof over my head. I'm not going hungry. I've made friends here and I have good friends to see back at home. I have friends in other places that I still keep in touch with. And as far as I know all my friends are doing well. I still have my faith (what's left of it anyway). I know that God is with me and he'll stay with me no matter what happens out here.

I don't know. Some things could potentially get worse (I'm not really talking about schoolwork by the way) but oddly, I'm not freaking out about these things as much as I might have a few years ago mostly because... there's a part of me, albeit small, that knows that things will eventually work out in the future. This move, has been and continues to be an incredible lesson in relying on God's grace.

And that is something to be thankful for isn't it? Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
