Baby Spalding
Lina and I ordered a basketball, and it came in the mail the other day. I texted her saying, “Our baby Spalding comes home today!” I got so excited to start playing again that this excitement led to two hours yesterday (plus my hour and a half of dancing) and three hours today at the gym. I didn’t expect to play any games, but people are so friendly and always ask if you want to...

Still a Child at Heart
Jesus… honestly, sometimes I just don’t understand you. But I realize that sometimes it’s not about understanding but accepting.
I noticed that the way I questioned my Father reflected that of a young toddler whom I saw on the bus. The young boy asked his father, “What is that?” and the father gently replied with what the object was. Abruptly, the toddler asked,...
Linaism
Lina: What’s the term for a vegetarian who eats fish? Me: A pescetarian. Lina: PRESBYTERIAN?! Joy: No, pescetarian! Lina: Man, why you always gotta get holy on me?!

A Verbal Exchange
I loved the conversations that I had with people today. It was apparent that the surface level talks that I loathe were not in away way a part of the conversation; and I must say, it was so refreshing. Religion, community, LGBT, Jeremy Lin, relationships, prayer, food, dreams… oh, the content was so good. I’d have to say that I do consider myself a conversationalist because of the sole...

Via text message
Me: Hey, when are you coming back? Because I’m gonna pray so if you walk in, don’t be creeped out LOL.
Lina: Okay, I’ll be back when I’m back hahaha. Just pray.
After I prayed I just sat on my bed with my laptop.
Lina (as she walks in): PRAYING? YOU’RE ON YOUR LAPTOP. You call that praying?!… omg… did you cry? YOU CRIED.

John 21:18-19
…Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said such this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God, Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

Enlightened
I love the homeless. I love how their minds work. I love how they worship God simply for who He is. I love their warm smiles. I love their broken and mended hearts. Every encounter and every conversation is so precious to me because I learn. I learn that there is a man out there who is so passionate about the history of the United States and who is ready to make change in our country. That there...

Titled.: Ephesians 4:1-6. →
euihwanpqt:
community: a group of individuals sharing a common interest or goal.
personal sanctification (1-2).
humility: knowing one’s own unworthiness.
gentleness: keeping one’s power under control as a result of humility.
patience: long suffering; only possible through humility…
I have a little problem with this definition of humility. If I abide by this definition, then I...
Let the Blind Man See
Today my eyes were opened to see that there are truly people who love me for who I am - every imperfection, every distinctive mannerism, every abnormality. I am actually surprised that I struggled with allowing myself to simply be me. One person told me, “I don’t remember exactly how we first met, but when I did meet you, I thought, ‘She seems so sure of herself.’”...

To learn to not take it personally when my service and love is not reciprocated, especially from fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Hope x Acceleration = ?
MLK Advance with Origins was this past weekend, and plainly said, it was such a blessing.
The first Sunday before the quarter started, I checked out Simple Church for the very first time. Brian was speaking about how 2012 will be a year of hope, multiplication, and breakthrough. Initially, when I heard this, I didn’t think that it applied to me at all. I’ve been pressing for...

Compassion Fatigue
I noticed once again that the news today is overwhelmingly filled with cases of criminals and the unimaginable crimes that they have committed. I feel as though the average American has been afflicted by compassion fatigue at least once, whether or not he/she realized it. As an audience of mass media, we all have in some way or another have been desensitized to the events that occur all around...
Running through my head
There’s a constant commotion running through my head. Never a moment spared. Contemplating, imagining, creating, debating. If only I was aware of how to control this chaos. Then I could see the power and the beauty of my thoughts.
