John Jun For Coppell

God, Family (Friends), Politics… final part.

God is good… all the time.

Sincere congratulations to Cassandra Hernandez. Best wishes to her as she represents District 115.

Thank you to each person who came out and voted, encouraged and prayed for me. I am truly sorry for not being able to bring you a better result, but it was through you that I was able to stand until the end.

Thank you to each person for your contribution. Whether it was monetary or physically, you have made this journey possible.

Thank you to my family-wife, kids, sisters and brother-in-law, parents-and each volunteer for your endless support. I have dragged all of you into this journey and put you through unimaginable hardship, and yet, you have sacrificed your valuable time and your love for me through each step. No words can justify your efforts, and I can’t thank you enough. I am sincerely grateful. You have been my rock, steadfast from the beginning to the final run. Your work behind the scenes truly shaped this journey, and I am forever grateful.

And of course, I thank God and each person who has prayed for me. He has blessed me and guided to this point in my life, blessed me with the opportunity to meet each person, friend, along this journey.

I have said through this journey that no matter the result, God is good all the time. He has guided me to be a better person, allowed me to learn from this process and shown His goodness, not just today, but throughout my life, with the blessing of my wonderful wife, exceptional kids, loving sisters and brother-in-laws, amazing friends I have made, to be able to live in the greatest country in the world, to be able to do the things I do today, to be able to make a difference, however big or small. I hope I have served Him well through serving others, worthy of His goodness.

If a recommendation by the Dallas Morning News means anything… I am honored to have served District 115 for over 24 years in various capacity.

God, Family (Friends), Politics… part 4

A “life well-lived” has a different meaning to each of us, and at times I wonder if my life measures up to that standard.

But when you have the community, family, friends, and friends of the friends whom are mostly over the age of 55 and 65 supporting you, volunteering their valuable time every day to block walk because they believe in you, you know your journey was a life well-lived… I know I am truly blessed.

He never stops to amaze… He truly does work in mysterious ways, blessing and guiding nobody like me to this point in life…
