tuesday, 22 june 2010, 10am Singapore time - on the plane from LA to Tokyo -

I'm finally headed home for real. Hard to believe. It's been a long holiday and a long two terms... I'm excited to go home and see everyone (: There's always a little apprehension though, I think. What has changed? What hasn't? I know I've ( Read more... )

Ideally, I would be giving you my thoughts on this, rather than just copying and pasting this article here for you, but for now, here's an article about culture. Very true, me thinks.

I feel like I'm way overdue for an update. I've only got a little bit of time now, but I figure I should stop procrastinating.

God has been very good. The past week or two, He's been opening my eyes as I look back on the past year - my first year of college. I never think adjusting to someplace new is gonna be tough - I always considered myself ( Read more... )

Reading old entries... Wow, I really haven't been blogging much this year. I know it's not a direct direct correlation, but for someone who likes to journal and write and reflect on things, and needs that in her life, the number and frequency of entries does shed some light on the state of my relationship with God. So needless to say, it hasn't ( Read more... )

“Come, let us return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.”
-Hosea 6:1

Excuse me, what?!!
Who has torn us?
Who has injured us?
The Lord?!!!
Wait a second there Hosea, didn’t you mean to say Satan has torn us?
Or ( Read more... )

In love’s service only wounded soldiers can serve.”

What I’m going to write next doesn’t relate directly to this quote. Or it does, kinda. But not really. I really like this quote, and I think it’s very true. But with all things true and good, there’s a fine line between it being good and ( Read more... )
