Here's a list of some things I'm thankful for this year:

All the Spiritual Life Assistant's I'm over as a Spiritual Life Coordinator. The people in my community of SLA's are seriously some of the most inspiring people in their desire to reach out to the men and women on their floors. I really appreciate all that they've given and sacrificed in order to commit to this position.

All the people in Service Year. The 6 people in that community have truly been a gift to my life this year and I'm appreciative of every laugh and every moment of growth. They've been extremely influential in helping me decide what is important to me in life.

Christy Ridings, one of my campus ministers has been extremely important to my growth in this past semester. She's been there to talk whenever I've had difficulties or stress and problems I've needed to discuss. Also, Guy Chmieleski and Micah Weedman, the other two minister in University Ministries, have been extremely important in my life this semester as well.

Finally, I'm thankful for family and the opportunity to share a few days in their presence and enjoy some great food. I miss them all dearly and I can't wait to sit down and catch up with them. Happy Turkey Day!
