I am blessed!

Dear all,

Summer has begun about two and a half weeks ago, and I'm currently happily stationed in Statesboro, GA enjoying the love and resources God has prepared for me. However, Statesboro has been raining almost every day for the past week or so. I heard it's pretty abnormal for this place to rain so much, but at least my mom is happy--she doesn't have to worry about her plants dying:)

There are countless things in my life for me to be thankful and joyful for. To start it off, I'm blessed with a group of faithful readers for my blog-- I've logged onto my accounted to see 5 views from today, and 143 views total for this month! It is quite amazing especially haven't written anything since the end of April. Thanks to those who have been my faithful and encouraging supporters during all these times!

I'm blessed with my parents, who are loved by God and many on earth. Today, my parents told me they really don't want me to go back to Indiana because they really love having me home :) They even agreed to buy me kittens and puppies (my mom's worse enemies) if I decide to stay for good.

I'm blessed with wonderful friends. I see them growing and pursuing a life of purity and a life that is above reproach. It is not always easy especially with all the temptations out there. I'm simply touched by the way they act and pursue God and I thank God for putting such group of loving people around me as constant reminders and encouragement.

I'm blessed with strong leaders in the worship ministry in the Chinese church. I learn and am finally sheltered under strong leadership. I no longer feel helpless for I am still an immature worker of God's. Praise the Lord!

I'm blessed with much more things-- a house to live in, a violin to play on, a fridge full of food, churches to go to and learn from, and much much more. But most importantly, I'm blessed with a faith that I can count on. He never fails because He is real, living, and forever glorious. It is funny how it could sound so cliche, but at the same time so true to me. I praise God because He is the God!

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
Psalms 125:1-2

I hope everything is well with everyone! May God bless you abundantly!

Love,
Anna
