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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
