The intricacy and beauty of human anatomy and physiology never cease to amaze me: Our hearts can pump even when we are asleep, our muscles allow us to stand still or to run, and our immune system is on guard 24/7 to keep us healthy.The same God who has created majestic things like the Grand Canyon has also created the tiniest cell in our body, and both designs overflow with His love for us.
In class, I learned about the different stages of embryological development, from the formation of a zygote to the actual birth of a baby. I cannot help but marvel at the process in which a little clump of cells divide, differentiate, and grow into a living, breathing human being. Each stage of the development is executed with such precision, and done with such care and tenderness, just like what was said in Psalm 139:13, “for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
I am thankful and in awe of our creator God for creating this body that reminds me constantly just how much He loves and cares for me!

I’m really thankful for how God intertwined human touch and facial expressions with human emotions. I guess I’m kind of a touchy-feely person. But the other day after TC, when I felt so pooped, it was energizing to see the glow on people’s faces after it was over, especially Sunny who has a contagious, perpetual smile that shows even in her eyes. Thankful how hugs can be energizing as well, or just leaning against someone’s shoulder and how that can communicate warmth and love even without words. There was one particular hug I will always remember my junior year, at a SWS, when Sue Yi was praying for me that God really will forgive a particular struggle, and when she hugged me, it communicated to me so powerfully God’s forgiveness and cleansing. so thankful for how human touch can do that..

I am thankful for the order and structure of nature to display who God is. One lecture in my structures class?that was very memorable??as I don’t remember many) was my professor talked about the I-beam-like structures inside seashells, an example of the efficient and strong structures in nature. Along with the curves seashell makes up the complexity, God showed such great design even in these details. It is an?evidence for intelligent design. Praise God!

couple of days ago I was driving along the shore near Shoreline plaza. It was near dusk and the sun setting created a beautiful reddish color on the beach, and the water was receding due to the ebb. I was able to walk on the beach, and also saw the beautiful city view. I just had a great news that day too, so it was like God speaking to me saying that He loves me.

Also when I stare at the trees with green leaves waving back and forth at the wind, I feel at ease. They are so beautiful and seem to praise God with all their bodies.

I’m thankful for the rain yesterday. Watching the rain fall at work was actually quite a beautiful sight. It makes such a pleasant noise and enhances colors!

I am thankful for the wind, like when I look outside and can see trees swaying back and forth. It is beautiful to see and a reminder of invisible forces in the world.

I’m thankful for Enchanted Rock in Texas where the Freshmen and Sophomores visited last month. It ain’t Yosemite or the Sierras, but it’s very beautiful in its own right.

I am thankful for places like Pt. Bonita where I got to spend time with Cynthia and Eugene with my peers. It is so breathtaking. It is so amazing that God would create rocks and waves of all different sizes. It was hard to make out where the ocean ended and where the sky began. Words could not aptly describe the beauty and serenity of the place.

I’m thankful that it didn’t rain today and it wasn’t gloomy. Usually when its gloomy it really affects my mood except if its in the morning at like 6:00am and the sun starts coming out but barely and it’s still cold and no one is awake. I love the sun SO MUCH! Thank God for SUN, it’s those days when its almost just and the light rays are orange, and its shining through the blinds, and its kind of warm in the room.

I’m thankful for Monterey, my favorite place to go. The seaside that I can spend hours on end just sitting there, watching and hearing the waves crash down. I remember being there during a very difficult time in my life, and being reminded that there is a God behind all of this that is greater than all my problems, and encourages me with the wonderful reminder of his love for all mankind by providing views such as these.
