Precious

I watched the movie Precious this morning. Go see it if you haven’t already! It has inspired me to take inventory of what I value as precious in my life and spurred me into action. So, the following is my list of what I find precious:

- having close, healthy relationships with my family
- having an intensely intimate love relationship with Jesus Christ
- maintaining intimate spiritual accountability with strong Christians
- pursuing social justice (currently in the South Bronx but in truth) wherever God places me
- acquiring a master’s degree from Columbia University (Chinese Language and Literature) and New York University (Special Education)
- pursuing missions and international travel
- returning to China to teach English and continue in-person the friendships I have there
- daily living my life out with purpose for the glory of Abba

I saw Precious tonight...it was something else. Very disturbing and sad, but very realistic because I know those things happen to people. And yeah, like you it makes me thankful for a lot of what you mentioned above, especially healthy relationships with family. We are so blessed.
Didn't know you were going for your master's at Columbia and NYU. That's great. :) Just don't let the liberals brain-wash you. lol I'm only half-joking, btw...I seriously do hope you'll think critically and make sure you discern what's being taught against the backdrop of Scripture. That has to be our foundation for any fight/cause for social justice, etc.

I'm sure you already knew that, though. ;-) Take care and God bless.
