感謝以各種形式陪伴、支持我的家人朋友們，我的一年級畢業了！
回顧我在雷丁的這九個月，神讓我浸泡在美國這個自由的國度。
我覺得經歷最多的部分是回轉像小孩，認真地當神的女兒。
並且與過去的自己和解，開始學習為自己歡慶。
用神的眼光來看待自己，不再以自己有什麼樣的特質來定義自我的價值。
在教會久了，可能多少會把自己定義成某種身分的人。
或是當你有什麼恩賜，就把自己定義成有這種恩賜價值的人。
但在這裡的九個月，我領受到神看待我只是女兒。
祂不需要我去追逐某種恩賜，祂想要的是與我真誠的關係。
神對我說，和我待在一起很好玩。
過去我覺得自己是一個挺無聊的人，我沒有想過神會給我這個評價。
祂喜歡和我待在一起，這是多麼好的一件事情。
我很期待接下來二年級神要繼續帶領我的旅程，雖然我還不知道是什麼事情，但我曉得神永遠不會放開我的手。我總感覺有許多精采的事情要發生。
如果你願意以奉獻的方式祝福我接下來二年級的旅程，

Thank you to my family and friends for supporting me through my first year! I did it! Reflecting on my nine months in Redding, I've felt embraced by the freedom of the United States.
The most meaningful part of this journey has been rediscovering my childlike faith and embracing my identity as God's daughter. I've also made peace with my past and started to appreciate myself more. Instead of measuring my worth by my qualities, I'm learning to see myself as God sees me.
After spending a lot of time in church, it's easy to define oneself by roles or gifts. But during these nine months, I've come to understand that to God, I'm simply His daughter. He doesn't expect me to chase after specific talents; what matters most to Him is our relationship with Him. He even finds joy in just being with me. This revelation has been truly heartwarming.
I'm excited for the journey ahead in my second year, even though I'm unsure of what it holds. But I trust that God will guide me every step of the way. I'm optimistic about the many wonderful experiences awaiting me.
If you're willing to support me financially in my second year:
Tuition: $5,750 (First installment of $500 due by June 5th)
Living expenses: Approximately $20,000 (covering rent, daily expenses, and travel)
Thank you for sowing seeds in my life.
