Dear God,

I suddenly felt convicted to write you a letter here. I just feel very overwhelmed in my heart right now. I don’t know why, maybe as I write here, you will show me. I love you more than anything. I love you with all the strength I can muster in my heart. It’s such a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This Moment

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 [...]

[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 [...]

Let the poor say I am rich

I was taking a walk around my neighborhood with my brother yesterday, and what stuck out to me most was the sprinklers. They were supposedly doing their job of watering the grass in this nice neighborhood I’m lucky to live in. However, it just really bothered me that there was an overabundance of sprinklers for some [...]

Live It Out

*apologies for thoughts that aren’t fully developed and issues that aren’t touched upon because if they were, this would be a REALLY long post* “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” -Matthew 6:34 What would happen if we took that verse and actually lived it out? If we truly did [...]

My Humble King

Hello world and all who inhabit it. (not sure where that’s from…) I finished reading The Supernatural Ways of Royalty by Kris Valloton and Bill Johnson (of Bethel Church). They summed it up pretty well in the subtitle: it was about discovering your rights and privileges of being a son or daughter of God. I’ve [...]
