I’m continuing an entry detailing new (and always-humbling) insights into myself, life, God, and affection as Sarah and I continue our dating relationship.
On friendship and figuring each other out
What Sarah’s helping me realize is that any romantic relationship must be, at its foundation, a great friendship. At the beginning we both assumed we were fantastic friends, which was true […]
I oftentimes talk about how maturity is a hard process. These past few months have been times of self-discovery. A peek into the rough-and-tumble, totally awkward journey of self-awareness…
I have an EQ of a doorknob. I used to think I was pretty sensitive and in touch with how I felt — how mistaken I was. A few months […]
Bowen asked me a good question on my last post — ”Any reason why IJM in particular?”
I answered to the effect that 1) it was the first organization that my friends had mentioned to me regarding human trafficking and 2) I have an older friend who worked there a couple of years ago.
I want to follow that up with […]
Last night I lost my keys somewhere between Berkeley and Fremont BART station.
To this hour I have no idea where they are. I stood out there on the Fremont terminal for a good fifteen minutes emptying my backpack, patting my pockets for those elusive keys. I ended up calling my Dad (at 12:30AM) to pick me […]
I was thinking back to high school today, how idealistic I was (and still am) and passionately I lived. Although these days it seems that I do more reminiscing for those days past than living, today I felt a few gusts of wind and I wanted to fly again.
I remembered how it feels to drive through […]
Man, I am so calloused.
These past few weeks have been sorrowful ones for humanity. Cyclones, earthquakes, bombings, and the like.
I am having a hard time feeling. My head knows these catastrophes are tragic and the need to move and seek help are dire and swift, but my heart has a hard time noticing.
Wake me up from American complacency. […]
Christians believe in a spiritual dimension to everyday life. It’s mostly invisible and occasionally tangible. It’s described in Scripture as a war between God and Anti-God, where humanity is caught in between the warring sides.
On that note, Satan sucks.
Everybody’s catching flak. There’s been a lot of suffering, and a lot of loss. I’ve felt a lot of […]
I’ve been moving in-to & in-between identities lately.
As a boyfriend, I’m newly challenged by the call to care for and serve somebody. And I know I haven’t written much about Sarah and my relationship, but I’ll say that every day I learn a little bit more about how God loves. I’m reminded what a good gift […]
It’s been a heckuva week. Things have been moving quickly. There are events to plan and attend. Work has been piling higher. Group projects are scheduling themselves in (I’m in three this semester). Life, well, life is life: My car battery died, I lost my wallet and all my credit cards and ID. I’ve […]
I want to hope! I must say this — it is impossible to follow Jesus without finding hope welling up in the heart. Hope for better things, hope of the ideal (this is the Kingdom, yes?), hope of Home.
This is what I want to say, but God, shake off this cynicism, this apathy and these religious cobwebs.
