the ups and downs of life-



phauj maiv. kuv tus phauj...thov txim kuv tsis tau tuaj xyuas koj nawb. kuv yuav nco koj os.

my great aunt recently passed away. she was my grandpa's sister (on my dad's side). it was a truly sad thing. i thank God that i got a chance to see her and say goodbye before she left us. i will miss her so much. i didn't get to be there for her as much as i would have liked. i wish i would have had more time to take her shopping. whenever she would need something, she would call us to pick her up and run errands. i'll miss her so much. she's in a better place now where she doesn't feel any aches or pains anymore. i cant wait till the day when i'll see her again. i hope when its time for me to go, ill be at peace like how she was.

we were at church last week and during tithing joel hanson sang this song that he wrote that was amazing. i thought to myself, only someone who has a deep love relationship with God can write these kinds of lyrics. it made me hunger for a deeper love relationship with Him. it made me long to write love poems and songs about how great His love is for me and how undeserving i am to be His child. *sigh!* God is so good and He's so great. my goal is to one day write such moving pieces about how He has convicted me to be a better person and how He's changed me to see the world in a different light in all its marvelous glory!

this friday is my LAST DAY with my current job. i feel very blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve at this organization for the past year. during the tough economic times our nation is facing right now, i feel blessed to have even had a job at all. granted at times i needed to be reminded of that fact. i admit it--i would whine and complain sometimes because it wasn't an easy job to say the least. however, after much praying i felt like God was changing my spirit and my attitude. wat job is "perfect", rite? i will miss things about this job, but i am also very excited about my new job!

which leads me to my next point, which is that i will be starting at my new job on tuesday! i will be going back to the corporate culture. (my last job was with a non-profit.) im going to miss the flexibility of my last job, all the vacation, and having my own office. hehe. but i think overall this new job will be a challenge for me and hopefully a better fit with my skill sets. im not expecting an "ideal" job, but i AM praying that it will be where im meant to be in this next stage of my life.

thank You, Jesus, for always providing for me and johan. You are always with us every step of the way. You know our needs better than we do.

we owe every GOOD thing and blessing in our life to You.
