We Are the Light

I’ve been so excited for what God is doing in the innermost parts of my heart lately that I thought a post would be incoherent, but I think it’s time to try. God is…so real and so alive inside of me that I am surprised I believed Satan’s lies that I don’t shine God’s light. [...]

God is Faithful

Last night at Agape 2012 (faith-based benefit concert at Tufts where student performers use the arts as an expression of God’s Love) I shared my testimony. In case you couldn’t make it and be overwhelmed by God’s goodness and love through all the dances, songs, and testimonies, here’s mine at the least. I didn’t say [...]

Love Came Down

Happy Birthday, Jesus! I think today might have been the best Christmas. There were no gift openings, no crazy events, but it was somehow special. I’ve had my share of memorable Christmas memories. For instance, Santa himself wrote me a personal letter in this amazing font (probably found on a computer) that made it completely [...]

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

I’ve been going through a pretty difficult time. I don’t want to get into the details here, but feel free to call/email me if you don’t already know. Don’t expect a quick reply because I’m taking in those messages reeeeeeally slowly. This post won’t mean much if you don’t know anything, so spark notes version [...]

Above and Beyond

I am the sort of person who always wants to be there for others but is afraid/doesn’t want to impose this same need onto others. There have been some tough moments in the past 2 weeks that I don’t think I could have survived without my family. Not my genetic family that’s back home, but [...]

Hurting? Confused? This might help…

So it was mighty quick but God told me why He loves me so much. I was struggling with the wrong question. It’s not about me and how I’m so unworthy. It’s about His character. This song told me so and blessed me so. See, I told you not to worry about giving me encouragement [...]

This Moment

The lessons I’ve been learning since my birthday seem to have been preparing me for this moment. 1) Another day: For the first time I think, I didn’t really feel like I needed all the attention on my birthday. Usually I have to fight the urge to tell everyone that it’s my birthday, but this [...]

The Best Gift

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” -James 1: 17 Mom and Dad, I wrote you a post last year for my 19th but I don’t think either of you read my blog then. [here it is]. I [...]

No More Hiding

Everything I’ve been hiding about me is about to be written here for everyone I love, haven’t met, will meet, etc to read on this public blog right now. So two major things I’ve struggled with that I don’t tell anyone but have had a major heart change to tell everyone: I am a junior [...]

(Im)possible

“Maybe I’m afraid, hopeless, uncertain, weak, and frustrated” -Me (from this post: click) So yesterday my mom and I drove to Atlanta. On the way there, I was driving and listening to more of the Kristian Stanfill album, Mountains Move. The song I linked in that same post, You Will Reign, started playing. The song [...]
