Thankful List

Wowza, what a busy week. Here goes my recent thankful list:

-Working my first 40-hour work week (the last of which was in 2017 prior to grad school!)  

-This past Tuesday's LG - I'm so thankful for all the new people who have joined our group. Super excited to get to know them this season. Thankful for the old members who have committed to another season of SG.         

-Thankful for my team at work and for how caring and supportive they are - I can't imagine working in such an intense work environment without Kate, Maggie, Alma, and Meg. Also, I have loved driving up north and along lakeshore in the mornings.    

-I got to go to a live sermon recording at church yesterday and it was so great. Pastor Peter preached on Spiritual Warfare and holy moly it was so good to just be in a shared space with a handful of people and be completely present. CC arrived late so I tried to emulate him and respond to the preaching by shouting out 'amens' and clapping. At the end of the recording, I looked sheepishly at Pastor Peter and was like "I tried my best" to which he laughed and responded, "Grace, I think you are the most emotive Asian American woman I know." Haha.                                                

-Got to spend the whole day yesterday w Alison running errands. Love this woman so much.           

-Today is Nastassja's baptism!! It's been such an honor and joy to walk with her this year and wow, this year is truly a celebration of God's resurrection power and glory. And his overwhelming, abundant love.   

-On a whim, I got on Hinge (yes, the dating app) this past week and it's been super fun just chatting with guys and getting to know different people. I've been going about it pretty lightheartedly; no expectations, just lifting it all up to the Lord.
