As I look back on this past year, I have much to be thankful for. It has been a year of much change and many miles. Through all the change, God has been faithful. 12 months and so much change. Below are my tops twelve events of the past twelve months.
1. Student taught 5th grade in an extremely exclusive elementary school. Was embraced by my mentoring teacher and supported by professors. An experience that took me from student to teacher.
2. Lived with two of my best friends. These two women love the Lord with their whole hearts and they love me for who I am. We met the first day of freshman year and have been together ever since. I am grateful to be apart of their lives and am looking forward to what the Lord has for of us in the years to come.
3. Discipleship Cabinet. I had the great honor and opportunity to be apart of Trinity's Discipleship Cabinet (DCAB). We held a weekly ALPHA course, we put together discussion forums, we had bible studies on various topics, and we became a family. It was incredible to see how strangers became family. Through the bond of Christ, we walked with one another through the ups and downs of life. I love my DCAB family and miss you all!
4. Invested in relationships with professors. The best part of Trinity was the professors, specifically the education professors. They loved the Lord and they loved those of us studying education. I was supported and genuinely cared for. I loved meeting professors for dinner and popping into their offices to chat. These were not professors, they were mentors and friends.
5. GRADUATE! I graduated college with honors. YES!
6. Friends and family got engaged and married. It has been such a blessing to be apart of people's lives - watching their relationships grow.
7. I taught the preschool Bible lessons at Vacation Bible School. Exhausting but rewarding.
8. Spent the summer at home. After graduating college, I moved back home for the summer. I did nothing and it was wonderful!
9. Watched my sister compete in horse shows. Since I was home over the summer, I spent much time watching Baihley (my younger sister) compete in horse shows. With elegance, maturity, and a positive attitude, she competed and took home several awards. Baihley, I am very proud to be your big sister.
10. July 15, I moved to Singapore. I said good-bye to my family and said hello to a new adventure.
11. First day of school. I have never been more nervous than I was on the first day of school. So many emotions ran threw my mind - doubt, fear, excitement. God was good and gave me sixteen amazing students. Cannot believe I have successful taught for one semester already. It is through Christ alone that I have made it this far, and I am depending on Him for the rest this rest of the school year.
12. Christmas in Australia. One item on my bucket list was Australia. I was finally able to check it off after I spent Christmas in Australia. Petting koalas, feeding kangaroos, shopping at Target, and relaxing on the beach were just a few highlights.
Thanks and glory be to God.
