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 [...]

Part 1: 10,000 Reasons

Just in case I post more reasons, I just named this Part 1. Something my mom frequently encourages me to do is tell God 100 things I’m thankful every day. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at it, but when I do follow through, it changes my perspective on the day. At Passion, Matt Redman led us [...]

Walk the Walk

I’ve been dying to post about all the things God has been teaching me this past crazy week of academics. I flirted with the idea of having to make my posts shorter just so I can share more about what God is doing in my daily walk. Because it’s not really about these epic events [...]

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 [...]

You Had Me

Officially off probation! It happened. Just as He promised. ‎”It is a pleasure to inform you that on the basis of your performance this past semester, you have been removed from academic probation.” My dean even said: “You are incredible! and you deserved this!” That letter that I received a day before I came back [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
