Dear God,

It is almost your son's birthday. A new year is about to come and there are so many things I am beyond thankful for. You made me become someone I never thought I was capable of doing- one of the church leaders for young adults. Being able to serve you this extra, unplanned year here was a blessing. Most of all, I want to thank you for giving me the chance to meet someone within the church who truly has mutual faith in you, and we both have feelings for each other. In a world that's so hard to even find your other half, I found someone I could connect with, and have him feel the same way I do. Yet, there also comes a barrier and struggle for us. Because both our futures are ominous, we cannot proceed despite our mutual feelings. I feel really sad but at the same time hopeful in you God. I never really knew you would lead me here in a foreign country to lead me closer to your love, so I know you always have big plans paved for me. I will continue to serve you, and will pray for what it is I would need to do to go in the path you've provided me. I pray for him as well and perhaps one day we'll come to meet again- in the same direction. Merry and Happy birthday Jesus.

Sincerely,

Your Child
