"...The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places..."

Hello All!
It's been a while!
I finished my schooling at FIT NYC and am back in WA looking for a job.  I've been able to spend a lot of time with family and friend--I am so blessed!
My Mum's pretty petunias

I am part of a design community for a non-profit, have done (and will do) a little bit of design work (volunteer basis or gifts), and am making prints and surface design pieces on my own to sharpen my design skills and add to my portfolio.  I am also working veeeery part time for my Dad.

It is so great to be back with family and friends! It is sometimes stressful looking for a job (these past few months), having some loans to start paying on soon, and not working full-time, but I am excited for what the Lord has for me and I've been so blessed by my family and friend's encouragement and company as I go through this season in my life.

Psalm 16 niv

1 Keep me safe, my God,
    for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
    apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land,
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names on my lips.
5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
    you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
    even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    nor will you let your faithful[b] one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.



My nieces and nephews keep me on my toes and I'm lovin it :)  They are adorable and hilarious and being an auntie is THE BEST EVER.  
It's also been really fun having a kitchen again to try out a few of my favorite Korean dishes--I've only made a few successfully, but practice makes perfect...hopefully...oye, idk how much more "different" tasting kimchi I can take ;)
닭갈비--stir-fried chicken, rice cakes, cabbage, onions, gochujang-based sauce.
Eaten with lettuce as a wrap.  And kimchi pancakes--slightly sweetened and salted egg and wheat pancake batter with kimchi and kimchi juice--yum!

Trying hard to fight anxiety, and we shall see where I end up living and working--but for now, I'm enjoying where I am :D  learning to live with thankful heart :)
