Going to MONGOLIA!

Yup, it is true. I am going on my first short-term missions trip for seven weeks to Mongolia with an organization called OMF International! (OMF=Overseas Missions Fellowship, figuring that one out took me a long time searching online, haha) Do I know anything about Mongolia? Nope. Nothing except that the Mongolian child in the documentary [...]

Let the poor say I am rich

I was taking a walk around my neighborhood with my brother yesterday, and what stuck out to me most was the sprinklers. They were supposedly doing their job of watering the grass in this nice neighborhood I’m lucky to live in. However, it just really bothered me that there was an overabundance of sprinklers for some [...]

(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 [...]

Avoiding God

I wrote this yesterday after church… It’s only been a week. I realized after finishing the 2nd Harry Potter book last night that it’s been a week. It feels like it’s been a month. Maybe being home made it feel longer or something…it most likely had some sort of effect. I’ve been consciously avoiding God [...]

Halfway there? Phew.

I’m halfway done with college? Say whaaaaaaaaaaaatttt Besides feeling old and denying that I’m a rising junior, I’ve been reflecting on my past 2 years. What’s been the constant? How have I changed? What made me change? It seems like every answer leads to the One and Only…my Humble King. He has transformed me from [...]

Compass Center

Being at the 2 month mark of 2011, I’ve been asking myself: Am I still pursuing God with the same fire and passion I had after winter break? And even if I am, how can I have a more passionate pursuit for Christ? Am I looking for God in the wrong places? I’ve started to [...]

‘Tis So Sweet

Decisions…I hate them. Okay, hate is a strong word. I’ll work on making those feelings less intense. Decisions just cause so much unwanted stress…whether it’s a moral dilemma. Or whether I want Life (the cereal) or a sundae. Or whether it’s worth spending money to unlock my friend’s dorm room which contains almost all of [...]

Irresistible Beauty

Beauty and intimacy: lessons He’s teaching me through TCF and Highrock (my church) in His perfect timing. Especially with retreat (Winter Retreat-Faking it: The Search for Love in College) this weekend, I can’t wait to see what other related lessons He has in store. So yesterday I posted (click here to read it) about how [...]

ONE Spirit!!!

I am SO excited that I couldn’t help but put up a quick blog post. I was transformed by the way I encountered Jesus at Passion, and I was extremely excited to get back on campus to apply and share what I’d learned. Already in the 1.5 days I’ve been here, I’ve had amazing conversations [...]
