Dear God,

I suddenly felt convicted to write you a letter here. I just feel very overwhelmed in my heart right now. I don’t know why, maybe as I write here, you will show me. I love you more than anything. I love you with all the strength I can muster in my heart. It’s such a [...]

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 [...]

Full Circle

Why is this happening again? I WON’T LET IT! I’ve been wanting to update ya’ll since my last update when I basically told you I was depressed. Well the day after that post (a Thursday), I went to mental health counseling. I got a good doctor who asked me about the role of my faith in [...]

Unwritten

I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a few months now. Since God told me what to write it about, I’ve been patiently waiting this moment…when I would post my… 100th POST!!!! WOOOOOOO So we’re going to take a quick break from what’s going on in my life to take a moment to [...]

Mourning

My last post was really depressing…sorry. It’s still kinda how I feel, but I wanted to update ya’ll on how I am. Well, still very confused. I don’t know what’s going on inside now, but it’s not as turbulent. It’s like peace is making its way into my heart, but I almost don’t want to [...]

The Evil of Slavery

Warning: this is longer than normal posts and intense, but the issue deserves it. Please read if you feel uninformed. Children are being repeatedly sexually exploited today…here in the US, everywhere. 27 million people are enslaved today. Slavery is not something of history, it is bigger than it has EVER been. African slaves were worth [...]

Brighter

The obligatory post reflecting on 2011. So what was 2011 about for me? Learning what it means to fully trust God. In my post last year when 2011 started, I hoped for love, restoration, and joy. When I said that, I had my academics in mind but God, of course, exceeded that goal. Yes, it [...]

Stand By Him

I’ve been taking the past few days to reflect on my semester. I haven’t had time to think about the whole of 2011 yet, but that post will come tomorrow (technically still 2011 central time). This Fall ’11 was the best semester so far, I think. It was a time of growth and love and [...]

Lemon Drop and some other ‘L’ words

“A lemon drop. They’re a kind of Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of.” -Albus Dumbledore L is for the way you…j.k. Rowling. Oh man I’m getting too much sleep at home. L is for..hm…the long-awaited Harry Potter post. Long-awaited because I’ve been wanting to write one since the summer when you may have noticed a [...]

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 [...]
