Unchanging One
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
- Hebrews 13:8
While everything in my life is constantly changing and moving so fast I feel as if I can’t keep up with it, I know that I can hold on to the hope I have in God. He is unchanging, forever faithful, and forever loving. When I feel like my own desires and dreams change suddenly and it becomes overwhelming and scary, I...

He brings me through
I posted this a few days ago because at that moment I read it, I saw how God has done that in the past for me. I want to repost this again today because I see where God may be bringing me and how He will in the near future. Four years ago, as I applied to colleges, I didn’t know exactly where I wanted go or what I wanted to study yet either. I had an idea, but I still wasn’t sure...
Praise the Lord
But quiet confidence in God alone breeds stability and delight amid ‘all the changing scenes of life.’ - DA Carson (Big God)
The most reasonable thing possible is to trust God, who has proven Himself trustworthy. That’s why the psalmist said in Psalm 130:5: “I wait for the Lord, and my soul does wait, and in His word do I hope.” - Britt Merrick (Big God)
This was...

Christmas Season
It was Christmas Eve, and the family was preparing to attend the special service of their local church. Everyone was going except Dad, who was an honest man, a man who could not seem to wrap his logical mind around the story of God come to earth as a baby in a manger. He didn’t want to be a hypocrite, pretending to worship a Savior he wasn’t sure even existed, so he stayed home, built a fire to...
Thanksgiving
I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.”
This was one of the songs we sang tonight at our church’s Annual Thanksgiving Dinner. This was the first year that Mustard Seed Fellowship planned the entire dinner for the church. When they first asked I thought wow, they really think we can do this?! This is huge!...
Unwise Words
I had to present an article today regarding Gait in Adults. I had found this article that studied the gait characteristics of people with Prader-Willi Syndrome compared to healthy obese individuals and healthy individuals. After we finished presenting it, the professor asked how many people in the world have this syndrome. Somewhere it said it affects 1 in 10,000 (don’t quote me, my other...
My statement of purpose
The moment you realize that in 7 months, grad school or no grad school, life will be changing and it scares you for a good hour.
I’m doing all these applications and trying to finish everything that needs to be finished that I haven’t yet sat down and really thought about anything else but finishing this and that. But today, instead of finishing my statement of purpose, I sat here...
Divorce Rates
I was helping my dad research the statistics of divorce rates amongst Christians and for the first few stats I found, they all said it was about 30-40%, close to the numbers of total divorces in the US. I found that to be discouraging until I found some more rates on this site.

Commuting thoughts
Ever since I’ve started commuting this school year, I’ve had long bouts of just driving and thinking. 1/4 of the time just on purely random things that come to mind, 1/4 of the time fantasizing and pretending I’m driving some awesome cool car, 1/4 of the time on the upcoming day or past day (if I’m driving home), and 1/4 of the time on church/MSF/prayer. Those proportions...
Mom>me
Out of laziness I texted my mom since I was upstairs and she was downstairs.
Me: Can you write me a check please to help pay for the application fees? Thanks. Mom: You come down and write yourself. I’ll just sign. Can’t be lazy to get money. Ha ha.
^I got owned by my mom. She’s right.
And yes, I still need help paying for things! All my earnings went bye-bye before school even...

Compassion
“Compassion is not just sympathy. It is empathy. When it comes to dealing with difficult people, we mistakenly equate compassion with “fixing” them. Genuine compassion is first able to feel their pain. I believe one of the reasons we encounter and are commanded to deal with sandpaper people is because the more pain we experience, the more compassionate we will be. We must learn to use our...
Summer Blessings
This summer was busy and tiring, but also amazing and Peter-filled. God decided to finally bless us with a summer together since I started college. Last year, Peter and I switched off going to China/Hong Kong and had maybe only 3 weeks total together over the summer. This time around, I was seeing him almost daily from July till now. It has been such a wonderful gift from God. Not only did I get...
To those who have been sniffed in the butt by Lexi
I apologize for all the times she has sniffed your butt or private area and I apologize in advance for any more instances of it in the future. I asked the trainer today about that issue and the trainer first laughed, then said, “Well of course, she’s the perfect height for it!” So unless you’re a baby/toddler or 6 feet tall, you just might have to bear with me as I continue...
“Ultimately the love of God is the basis for all our hopes.” “The blessing of His love comes to us not because we deserve it, but simply and only because of His sovereign grace.” - John MacArthur, Ephesians study guide.
“This is how God sees you.
You are a child of God. John 1:12 You are justified- completely forgiven. Romans 5:1 You are free from...
