(Phillipians 4:4-7) I have confidence that I will be a overcomer through faith in Christ!
God
O Father I am just so grateful and for all that you have done for me and through me!! You gave me twenty years on earth and the reality is that all of these years are GRACE!! It is a free gift for me just to have another breath and I want to ponder that reality and realize that I am being treated better than I deserve and you delight in doing so because you are an all-glorious GOD! Thank you for all of these twenty years and what you did with me during them (including my unsaved years) Thank you God for just being loving to me in my darkest hours!! Thank you for showing me that autism and ALL of it's weaknesses that I must painfully endure are in fact a gift meant to show off your GRACE and LOVE! Thank you for helping me out of my lonliness I had as a child and putting me in a godly family where grace reigns and unity is possible! (John 17:20-26) And best of all..... Thank you for providing the gift of YOURSELF through your beloved Son Jesus Christ crucified and risen for my justification and adoption!! Thank you are you ARE a loving gracious God and I want everyone to know that! You are all-satisfying and loving and keep me eyes focused on you and help me to taste your sweet love!!

I pray that we can continue to have them in the future as our relationship goes!

You were a blast and I want to express my thanks for holding me accountable for all the silly things that I do. Thanks for defending my message of Christ when Mike Peters was mocking me for it and thanks for showing me to real gospel living is!

(1 Peter 4:12-13) Mark Balyulet Man Mark this semester has been fun just going to parties with you and hangouts and just chatting it up with you! Thanks for trying to get me involved when you can and for making sure I have a place to sleep for the night. It has been a wonderful pleasure getting to hang out with you in the EBC lounge! You are a true brother in Christ and I just earnestly desire to get to know you more as a brother in Christ!

Dan you are a guy that is unique in a lot of ways. But one thing that always sticks out about you is how you have been so good and accepting to me while we have been going to school together. In particular I felt really welcome over the weekend that I spent with you and your Sunland buddies Tom Garcia, Christian Judy, and Jamin Mckeever when I came over. I am so grateful that you welcomed me and took care of me when I was there and God's grace and gospel shines through you!!
