Integrity Above Reputation
I struggled a lot with my reputation and the reputation of my family growing up… My family, particularly my parents, were well-respected in the church and overseas as missionaries. Everyone liked my family, and people would always comment on how “well-behaved” my brothers and sisters were. I guess you could say we had the “perfect” [...]

Memories
I couldn’t find the motivation to study tonight. After finishing my Business Management presentation this morning, I’m too exhausted to think about doing any more school. I went down to the computer lab to just check emails and facebook. Jess was down there, and she pointed out a few old pictures on facebook from way back… [...]

Rising Junior
Three and a half weeks of school left. It’s hard to believe. I was looking at my planner earlier today, and from here on out, every day is going to be filled with studying, hard work, and maybe a few shed tears… I can’t believe that I’m almost done my second year of college and [...]

Perfect Will
It’s late, and I’m exhausted… it seems like it should be the opposite after coming back from a break. Somehow it never works like that. I’m heading to bed in a little while, but I wanted to ask for prayer for my Oma and Opa (my grandparents). I found out a little earlier tonight that [...]

Beautiful Day
It was an incredibly beautiful day today. It was warm and sunny the whole day… church at New City was amazing, as always. It was good to go - I haven’t been there in a couple of weeks because of spring break and everything.
I’ve been working on studying for my CHOW 2 exam tomorrow. It’s [...]

Imitating Christ’s Humility
A close friend reminded me of this passage from Philippians 2:1-11… Â
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and [...]

Music Tastes and Pensiveness
It’s getting late… I’m listening to Andrea Bocelli, the album “Under the Desert Sky,” and just chilling out at my brother’s place in Nashville. Wim, John, and I went out to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. It was so good — it was nice to get out and spend time with loved ones. I’ve enjoyed spending [...]

Thoughts and Wesley
I was sitting in my dad’s room this morning… just checking emails and talking. I had to make a few calls — I’m going out to dinner with Wim, Johnny, and Mr. McElwee, an older gentleman and friend from Wim’s church. He invited us to come up to his house in Nashville for dinner. I’m looking forward [...]

Contentment
It’s been a month as of this morning that I’ve been sick… three weeks of which I haven’t been able to talk or sing. It’s been a struggle for me to be at peace with where God has me… It’s been a hard time for me as far as searching where God is leading me in [...]

Ramblings
So it’s been a few days since I’ve had the chance to write. I’m still sick… My chorale director thinks I have laryngitis. It’s been two and a half weeks, and I haven’t had a voice for the last week and a half. It’s been a humbling experience. I love to sing - whether that be [...]
