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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
I attended Passion Conference in Atlanta kinda last minute from January 2-5, and I’m glad my mom encouraged me to go/that it worked out. Post #1 from it as I begin to process what happened. Sorry it’s late…this post took longer than usual to write. Click on/hover over the links found in the last word [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

The lessons I’ve been learning since my birthday seem to have been preparing me for this moment. 1) Another day: For the first time I think, I didn’t really feel like I needed all the attention on my birthday. Usually I have to fight the urge to tell everyone that it’s my birthday, but this [...]
So my first week as a 20-year-old was quite strange. Here’s one aspect of it. After sharing about my academics 2 weekends ago on my blog, God has been doing amazing things in my heart. It is as if I can feel my heart becoming more like His. He’s molding my heart. I figured that [...]
