Thoughts on being 24

here's a bit of a delay update on my thoughts of being 24 ... (in bullet forms) - it had been kinda crazy last couple of days that i didn't really have time to think about this ... here are some reflections for the past years :

• praise God for my homegroup (aka Church/Christ centered community) - it had definitely been a awesome year
• praise God for my graduate studies at Texas A&M - at times it had been hard (and it's still is) but i've learned to enjoy it more and more =)
  
• praise God for an awesome family ! (cross-continent and pacific ocean!)
• praise God for opportunities to serve in my local community !
• praise God for providing for my needs
• praise God for awesome roommates
• praise God for awesome friends (you know who you are !)

i guess there are some stuff that i would like to accomplish before i turned 25 (woah!)
here's some of it (maybe all of it)

• see my friends come to know Christ (this is specific .... )
• donate blood
• get the Dimension of the Faith certificate from Gordon-Conwell Seminary
• finish graduate school !
• publish a paper in academia
• go to a Switchfoot or Jon Foreman concert!

that's all for now i guess .... :-P
