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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

No More Hiding

Everything I’ve been hiding about me is about to be written here for everyone I love, haven’t met, will meet, etc to read on this public blog right now. So two major things I’ve struggled with that I don’t tell anyone but have had a major heart change to tell everyone: I am a junior [...]

[Part 5] The Fruit

We are now at the end of this saga. I thought it’d be good to share how I feel now that almost 2 weeks have gone by since I experienced God so amazingly at Boston Night of Worship. These past 2 weeks have been so joyful. I’ve spent time with people I haven’t seen in [...]

[Part 4] Freedom

Summary of Parts 1-3: Even though I was peaceful about the chem exam, I had to drop it and despite the question of pre-med, all I wanted was Him. I was confused and hurting, but not to the same extent as I had reacted in similar circumstances. So that Saturday I didn’t feel like praying [...]

[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 [...]

(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 [...]
