Paper Writing

Dear God, I have two papers due on Friday. I'm sure You know that already. I'm not making much progress, and I don't really want to write nor do I really know what to write about. Somehow paper-writing is getting more and more dreadful for me these days. In addition to that, I keep getting distracted. Everything else just seems soooo much more interesting and fun to do instead of writing my papers. I'm so tempted to waste time and then just end up feeling guilty about it later. Please help me to stay focused and give me inspiration to write. I know it's only by Your grace that I can move forward and complete this assignment. And help me not to compare myself to my friend, who so happens to be a genius professional student. Also all by Your grace. In Jesus's Name, Amen.

Skid Row

I went to Skid Row for the first time last night with Tae to share the Gospel with the homeless there. I saw many homeless, druggies, people who were selling cigarettes, people who were pretty "out of it" for whatever reason, huge cockroaches, rats... Overall it was a real good, eye-opening experience for me. We prayed before and after our time talking to the people. We even got to sit on the back of Tae's pick-up truck when we prayed for the people individually and as a community as we wrapped up the evening. The main thing we prayed for was the salvation of the people and that they would know God. Tae was really good at talking to the people on Skid Row - I was so impressed. Praise God. Looking forward to going again :]

Singleness

I wonder if I'm ever going to get married or if God is calling me to singleness? I've always wanted, or thought I did, the former. And people have told me on several occasions that they could see me being married and with kids. But lately I've been seriously contemplating the latter and realize that it really doesn't seem to be that bad... even seems quite refreshing. I'm pretty content right now being single - will this contentment last?

Hmmmmm singleness. Just me + Jesus for eternity.

Eyes on Jesus

Need to keep my eyes constantly fixed upon Jesus...

Pruning

This season of my life God is definitely pruning me. Because He loves me. Though at times it is painful and difficult, I must hold onto the Truth, remember God's character, and keep walking by faith.

Spring Quarter Starts Tomorrow

Just a week ago I felt like I had just come out of war when Winter Quarter ended. It had been a reaaally rough and challenging quarter, not to mention extreme sleep deprivation. Actually it felt more like the war was put on pause... Went to ETP and then got to fly home to SF for just a few days. So short but so good. Now I'm back in LA and tomorrow the battle commences... again! May the Lord's pruning continue once again as well...

Let's do this God.
