Thankful List

-North Lawndale Bible Study Fellowship (BSF); for the past four or so months I have been going over to Lisa's house every Monday evening to study the book of Acts and various other books of the Bible with a group of women from all walks of life. We are currently looking at Hebrews and wow, I came back home marveling at who Christ is and how he lived on this earth as fully human and fully God. Like, he knew what temptation looked like and yet, because he was fully divine, didn't submit to temptation. Rather, he lived in complete trust and obedience to God. He instead submitted to God's will and plan for him (which was to die for my sins). He died for me - my relationship with God has been restored and I can live in the fullness of that. LIKE WHAT!?! I've been walking with the Lord for a while now, but wow, I can't help but marvel in response to tonight's study.

-Thankful for moments when I can be still before the Lord and rest

-Thankful for the random banchan I picked up at the Korean mart after church yesterday (I swear, being Korean makes so much sense sometimes, even if I feel like a foreigner whenever I do step inside of a Korean market)

-Thankful for the opportunity to say sorry to a coworker that I snapped at the other day and for her gracious response (I was crabby because well, I was hangry)

-Thankful for a stack of new books that consist of authors such as Wendell Berry, Michelle Obama and Sakaya Murata
