One



This is Michelle Kim. She graduated from UCLA with a bachelors in Philosophy, and then went on to Talbot to receive her Masters in Divinity to become a Youth Pastor. She has been serving at Zion Central Presbyterian Church back since her high school years, and continues to faithfully serve at the same church, many, many years later. Anyone who knows her will agree with me when i say that there's really no one else like her. Michelle is that diamond in the rough--literally. She's selfless. She's inspiring. She's a role model. She's caring. She's loving. She's bringing His kingdom unto this earth. i can go on and on for days about how much i love her, but above that, how much she loves God. She hasn't had an easy life by all means, and i don't think i could ever handle the things she's had to deal with the past 27 years. but, FINALLY, michelle gets to be a princess, for once. after dating for over 6 years, her and phil get to finally start planning their life together, as one. michelle finally gets something to go right for her, and i couldn't be happier for them. if it wasn't for Michelle, i wouldn't be able to call myself a christian today. if it wasn't for Michelle, i wouldn't be serving at zion central presbyterian church, or any church for that matter. if it wasn't for Michelle, i wouldn't have had a spiritual mentor who guided me through trivial times. She has been the biggest influence on me these last 8 years of my life, and i don't think i could ever express to her my love and gratitude for all the things she has done. i love her so much and i only want great things for those who i love, and her finally getting engaged, is a great thing. i'm excited for everything to come, and this time next year, she will no longer be Michelle Kim, but Michelle Lee--and i can't WAITTTT!!! God is sovereign, God is good.

finals

i'm tired of studying. i know i said i missed school while i was in Korea, and don't get me wrong, i love being back in a school environment, but i'm just so tired. my brain is fried. i can't think straight. i take the wrong freeways. i leave my purse and wallet in my car all night with my doors unlocked. i'm forgetting things i have to do. i get no exercise.

but, i got exactly what i asked for--to be back at Irvine. and here i am. Thank you, Lord, for You know my heart and desires.

Just one more day of suffering, and i will be free to watch all the Friday Night Light episodes my heart desires, along with the highly anticipated season finale of Glee (those are my initials! G.LEE!).
