It’s not about you and how you feel. It’s about Jesus and how he calls you to feel.
And I love that.

Woa. Jesus, help our unbelief! Wow, may our generation be filled with lovers of You who pray with faith and without any doubt. Great things are to be done because of this, Lord!

Jesus, I love you. Thank you for displaying your power when you chose to drink the cup your Father gave you. Your faith constantly went beyond the realities of your time. Help my faith grow to powerful humility while the devil strikes...

Goodbye To All That by Joan Didion
If you want to see what GREAT writing is, and you also want to know exactly how I feel about New York, here it is. I read this everyday not because I love it THAT much, but because it’s excellent writing and I want to get better at writing so I read excellent writing. Also I read this everyday because I love it that much. But one note: When the day comes - the day I must leave New York and...
What's On My Mind:
If you have problems with someone, get to know them again because chances are you don’t even really know them. And this time around, when you’re getting to know them, focus on the beautiful parts and see that they were fearfully and wonderfully made by the same Father that made you also, fearfully and wonderfully. You’ll wonder how you ever thought bad thoughts about that person...

Notes From a Dragon Mom
Read this article from The New York Times,
and tell me that it’s not relevant to how we should be working out our salvation daily. I want my life to be a Jesus culture. I don’t want my life to have scattered little “Jesus Moments” or “Prayer Sessions” and “Prayer Meetings” and “Church Fellowships”. I want to forget about MY FUTURE and...
No Money Mo Problems
**EDIT: My dog is fine! She was having a hard time all throughout the night, but when my mom came down at 6am to check on her, she was fine and her tail was wagging at full strength. We fed her some milk and she’s a-ok now. Peony did tell me that dogs are very strong animals. I’m so happy and I want to go back to California now just to see Lambo.
Thanks for asking, AMY PAK! I know you...

This is a post by Jon Foreman on The Huffington Post. You can read the original article here, but I’ve copied and pasted it here for easy reading. Super beautiful; what a writer, what a piece.

Last night around midnight, I was onstage playing tunes with a band called Fiction Family in a town called Hollywood. By 3:00am I was pulling into my hometown...

I Hate You
Charles: Is there a way to block specific people on fb chat?
Jeum: Why??
Charles: Just curious on how to block. BTW I might leave right after you teach me. Got some errands.

Everlasting Peace
I wish humans had the ability that Vulcans have; Vulcans can transfer their own memories when touching someone’s temple with their fingertips. If I could, then I’d touch all y’alls temples and want to fill you in on my summer with Vorsteiner. It’s been such a whirlwind (both good and bad!), but one of the things I hated most about working here was that I witnessed four...
Nothing Better
There is nothing better than when you’re ministering to someone and Jesus is ministering to you through your same words like… at least 4,832 times harder. Good morning!
Wait - I know what you’re thinking: I love...

Mrs. Maciariello
Dude. First grade, I remember Mrs. Maciariello (I know, can you imagine first graders trying to pronounce that name? Thus - “Mrs. M!”) would sit us all down on the ground and enthusiastically say, “Let’s play a game!” We’d lean in really close and she’d say, “This game is called the silent game! Has anyone ever played the silent game?” And of course we haven’t because this game DOES NOT EXIST, but...
Friends
Everyone deserves at least one friend who is always encouraging and uplifting.
I want to be like that one.
Overheard
“Okay don’t order too much because I’m paying for our food.”
Isnt this phrase, like, taboo or something? Like even if you really do mean it and even if you really are thinking it you just keep your fat lips pursed?
If my friend said that to me I think I’d faint. I’d either faint or yell, “Nigga I eat what I wont!” and order the whole menu because...
Why I'm Not Afraid
IF YOU EVER HAVE AN INKLING OR A DESIRE TO LEAVE YOUR “HOME” AND YOU GET SCARED AND YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD.. EX: THE FEAR OF RELOCATING SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE OF YOUR FOUR WALLS CONSUMES YOU. JUST GO. WE ARE A NOMADIC PEOPLE MADE TO GO MATTHEW 28:18-20 AND OUR “HOME” HERE IS NOT OUR HOME — RATHER A LAYOVER FOR OUR FINAL DESTINATION. MY HOME IS NEXT TO HIM IN...

BIRTHDAY BOIZ
Happy Birthday to Andrew Kam. My dear brother whom I had the pleasure of becoming close to during fall quarter……………… probably one of the best quarters of my college career. Hey HEY HEY HEY HEY remember when we ate tacos on your mom’s birthday? Remember when you made me smell your plugs? Remember you screamed like a gurl when you saw a mouse in your house?...
My most favorite stories are bildungsromans (coming of age stories), especially ones where people slam into the almighty presence of God and subsequently become saved not by their own accord or because of what they’ve done, but because of His love and His sovereign plan. And I’m not just talking about stories where ink meets paper. I’m talking about real, living, breathing...
When You Work
When you work full time, you have no time for anything else. You wake up at 6:00 am only to begin your contrite rendezvous with traffic for an hour.. surely if absence makes the heart grow fonder, then please — traffic let’s spend some time apart. I stare at the butt of the car in front of me for what seems an eternity. We’ve traveled so long and so little together, and...

"Song" by Adrienne Rich
You’re wondering if I’m lonely: OK then, yes, I’m lonely as a plane rides lonely and level on its radio beam, aiming across the Rockies for the blue-strung aisles of an airfield on the ocean
You want to ask, am I lonely? Well, of course, lonely as a woman driving across country day after day, leaving behind mile after mile little towns she might have stopped and lived and died in, lonely
If I’m...

What I Really Mean
When I say, “I heard that _________.” I really mean, “I read on Facebook that _________.” Someone asked me who I keep in touch with and how I get all my info. I had to stupidly admit that Facebook is my major source of info. BUT THIS IS HOW IT IS NOW, RIGHT? THE INFORMATION AGE.
Unfinished & Released Posthumously
So I kind of deviated from the course of books I was set to read a couple posts back. I bought this book instead… and I’m enjoying every page of it. I’m on page two, but still - I’m enjoying every page of it. Plus the cover is cool. On a more serious and wishful note, if you ever want to shower me with some love, just buy me a book that I can add to my collection. I was...

*edit FINALLY, H* ! just kidding. Yes, and for those of you who thought maybe she forgot who I was.. I stopped into office hours any chance I could. She was probably one of my closest mentors/professors during my years in Davis. I was really shocked she rejected me/disregarded my invitation. I mean look at me. *flips hair*

From Genesis to Revelation
One of the clearest revelations God has given us throughout the entire bible is His desire to dwell with His people, to be with us. So spend time with Him, letting His word gently rest and water your soul, because He’s just itching for you to finally realize that you can’t escape His will, and His will is to be with you.
I want to leave a legacy. How will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things? I want to leave an offering as a child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically. Not “well-traveled,” not “well-read,” not “well-to-do” or “well-bred.” I just want to hear instead, “Well done, good and...
