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 [...]

[Part 3] I Will Rise

Summary of parts 1 and 2: Going into my chemistry exam, I had a peace that transcended all understanding. Even when I knew I did poorly on the exam and had doubts about remaining pre-med, all I wanted was Him and not the answers. So now it’s Friday morning in my story. This is kinda [...]

[Part 2] No weeping

Summary of [Part 1] Stress is Stupid: God has given me peace like a river that I’ve noticed by the way I reacted to being quite unprepared for my chemistry exam. So I know I might have some new readers, so just to update you, I’ve had a really difficult time academically at Tufts these [...]

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 [...]

Embracing the Cross

I’ve been meaning to blog about this but it’s been a bit crazy with all of the end-of-the-year business. So the week before classes ended, I had the most intense academic load I’ve ever had…2 presentations, 2 exams, and 2 papers. It was a lot to handle and the Saturday before the week started, I [...]

Contrasts

I’ve had so many thoughts lately, so I’ve been dying to blog but have had insufficient time to do so. Therefore, to top off my weekend of absolutely zero work, I shall blog away… 1) After being in a semi-new group of people over spring break, I’ve learned so much about myself. In middle school, [...]

‘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 [...]

All-Knowin’

*Warning: I just drank coffee and haven’t really slept well all week. My thought processes have been quite strange lately. Ignore wordiness and things that don’t make sense* “God is all-knowing. Okay, cool. Wait, He’s ALL-KNOWING. Rinse and repeat. He’s all-knowing?!” That’s what was going through my head today in the library as I stared [...]

Hello December…

Yeah, I say it basically every month, but this time it’s worse. WHERE did November go?! Hmmmm… 1) Looking at my November posts, it is apparent that it was a rough month. Yeah, I had a wonderful birthday and such, but I also had the most difficult 2 weeks of my life. (Apologies for being [...]

Safe

Answer to prayer via Facebook?! Man, He has continued to answer in unexpected ways… So since my last post that was a disorganized, emotional mess (click to read it here!), I’ve been praying just to have something to comfort me. Telling people my problems can only do so much. Yes it’s relieving to rant and [...]
