About Time
One of my favorite movies is About Time. It’s been a while since I’ve rewatched it, but the premise is that when a young man turns 21 his father informs him that the men in his family are capable of traveling in time. They can only travel to a time in which they existed, so Continue reading

In pursuit of joy
Someone recently sent me this poem: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child Continue reading

Keeping due measure
I would seriously pay so much money to watch an edited documentary of my life for the last year. The ups and downs, highs and lows, mistakes and accomplishments, blessings and heartbreak and all the in-between I’ve experienced just amaze me. About 3 weeks ago, I finally got to a place in my life where Continue reading

It is not God’s Character to Walk Away: a Look into 1 Samuel 12.
This semester, I have the pleasure of taking an Old Testament Hebrew class. We observe the Hebrew translations of the ancient texts, critically analyze the different authors and editors of the Bible, and piece together historical events with archaeological evidence. It really is a cool class. We don’t read the text confessionally or spiritually. We Continue reading

May you dare to forgive.
Growing up, I watched countless movies about high school, college, dating, and romance. I remember being in middle school just dreaming about the day I would be walking around a college campus and meet “the one.” I endlessly thought about all my favorite rom-coms that made love look like the most beautiful thing in the Continue reading

If you’ve been following my blogs throughout the last few months, I’m sure you’ve picked up on the trend that my biggest struggle is letting go, whether that be expectations of myself, insecurities, the need to control my life (and sometimes others’), etc. I hesitated to write this blog on the grounds that I’ve probably Continue reading

A Rose on My Desk
Today is Valentine’s Day. Today is also Ash Wednesday – the beginning of the Lent season. When I moved to St. George’s Episcopal in the 6th grade, I began practicing Lent. Every year I fast, and it is my favorite season of the church calendar. I am so thankful that Ash Wednesday fell on Valentine’s Continue reading

“Not I, but Christ”
Wow…there is so much for me to write about. I have this painfully annoying tendency to push off blogging for as long possible despite how much I want to write. It’s some severe case of cognitive dissonance I have. As a psychology major, you would think I should know the solution to this problem, but Continue reading

Finding your spark again
Do you ever feel like you’re just not yourself? You say and do and think things and then look back and go that sounded nothing like me or man I really feel like I’m on autopilot mode right now. Well, that’s been me for the last month or so. I feel like since coming to Continue reading

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
For some reason, I have always been innately opposed to the “slow life.” When I heard people say “I just want to live a slow, simple life” I would immediately assume they were lazy and/or unaware of their potential to achieve great things. I wanted the world to know that I had potential, that I Continue reading
