still 27

I’ve got a few minutes left as a 27 year old. It was a great year. I learned a lot about what God has to say about me. I went through some really rough times. Thanks to all who stuck with me and prayed for me. I’m looking forward to [...]

I <3 Summer

Summer is back in California, and this year I’m planning on enjoying it. It isn’t quite the same as summer vacation from school, but I’m pretty excited about it nonetheless. I must admit that it’s difficult to sit in my cubicle without gazing out the window (yes, I’m blessed enough to have a [...]

Hope deferred…

I’ve been struggling with loneliness for quite some time. I have to take responsibility for a large part of that, as I haven’t pursued relationships as I should. The closest friends that I’ve had over the past two years have all moved out of state, are married, or aren’t able to hang out [...]

Gladness

I’m soooooo happy that the youth conference is over! Life is busy enough without having to keep up with 1,000 kids that are on fire for the Lord. I wasn’t nearly as busy at this conference as I’ve been in the past, but I managed to run myself into the ground anyway. [...]

Dream Big…God is Watching

Tonight at the Jesus Culture Conference, the guest speaker was Kelly Clark, a 24 year old professional snowboarder and gold medalist at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. She gave a brief but powerful message on the subject of God and dreaming big. One of the things that hit me the hardest was when [...]

Minor Setbacks

Myspace just ruined my day.  I purposefully don’t login very often, but this wasn’t the same old myspace bummer.  I got a friend request from an old high school friend (which was awesome…she’s married with kids and looks to be doing very well), which led me to check out my high school alumni site.  It [...]

High School and Fire Tunnels

Tonight was my first night back with the church high school group. I’ve been an absent leader for about a year now (I won’t get into why I stopped going, for now). I’m sad that I missed so much. A full school year has passed, and some of the kids are graduating [...]

bah…

Soooo…believe it or not, I typed up an awesome post on the Sunday and Monday night services we’ve been having at my home church…but due to unexpected server maintenance, it wasn’t saved. I’m not feeling up to typing it all again, so hopefully we’ll keep the extra services going for a few more weeks.
Long [...]

the Father’s Day

It has been a very busy day, so I’ll make this short.
I am blessed. I have a wonderful father that loves me, and is really pushing me to step into the promises that God has spoken over my life. Thank you God! Please bless my dad.
Worship was amazing tonight! I truly [...]

Completion

Jerry Maguire: I love you. You… you complete me. And I just…
Dorothy: Shut up, just shut up. You had me at “hello”.
For the record, I’ve never been a fan of Tom Cruise or any of his movies, including Jerry Maguire. I won’t go into the details. Cameron Crowe, on the other hand is one of [...]
