No Turning Back

Oh how I wish that life was easier. How I wish I could have more than one week of joyful bliss, of having carefree days of productive schoolwork and life-giving relationships and restful sleeps that are all an outflow of blessings from an intimate relationship with God. It’s possible! but oh it’s not easy. Enter [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Numb

Words fail me. Ironically, I shall try to use them to tell you what’s going on for me after retreat. It’s confusing and aching, but I need some kind of venue to vent and keep all of you updated. It’s been a week now since I just wept for the children trapped in sex slavery [...]

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 [...]

Desperate

It is 2:25 am. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but I had a surge of inspiration to finally write to ya’ll since I’ve been in a weird funk with the blog posting, so here I am taking advantage of the moment. Maybe it’s because I have an odd assortment of thoughts after watching Saving [...]

Do Something

Today marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Did you know 27 MILLION people are enslaved today? At Passion Conference where 45,000 18-25 year olds encountered Jesus, we became more aware of the injustice that is happening all over the world today. Right now, I don’t think this blank space below will suffice to convey the brokenness [...]

I Feel His Love

So it seems like I’ve experienced a lot since I last posted, but it’s only been like a week. I guess time goes by slowly during finals. In the past week, God has shown me a lot of my own brokenness in how I’ve reacted to everything that has happened in the past few weeks [...]

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 [...]

Why?

So I tend to hold off on telling people what God has been teaching me until I get the pretty, nicely wrapped up testimony that warms, encourages, and/or challenges people’s hearts. I think with my closest friends I tend to do this less. With my Best Friend I actively try NOT to do this…I ask [...]
