Last night, at a little before midnight
I made it a point to miss my afternoon siesta today so I could easily doze off tonight. Yet I toss and turn. Surely there must be an off button somewhere.
I knew it!

Dear Guy with Striped Shirt and Glasses,
It took me just two seconds to figure out that you look like Dwight Schrute of The Office. But it took me so much longer to place you, I knew very well I had seen you somewhere (in real life), I just couldn’t quite remember. Eventually I realized you were that med guy in Hearts And Flours, studying. You were seated with a girl. And munching on a can of peanuts. Probably for optimal...
Well what do you know
Apparently I had learned a thing or two.

This week was full of lies and excuses and sin. I keep making my imperfect nature the culprit, justifying that it’s so hard to be human, setting aside the Truth that His grace is sufficient for me, and that I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. I keep making His mercy as an excuse, that anyway He will forgive, without realizing that His mere omnipotence and omnipresence must...
On ushering
I did a pretty sucky job. So I know you were just being nice when you told me otherwise. But thanks so much, that was really kind of you.
Today,
God reminded me to hope, trust, want, need Him and Him alone —Him who never lies, never forgets, never changes.
Just at least for a few seconds give me this.
Allow me a weak moment.
As if I haven’t gotten used to this yet. People will hurt you, disappoint you, bring you down. But it’s all ok. At the end of the day, you tell yourself it’s ok. You tell them it’s all quite alright. But ourselves, ah. Ourselves are always the hardest to forgive.
Truth yes, it’s a lot better these days. Than it was before. It’s a lot...
Like something's amiss and missed and missing...

A night of stream-of-consciousness rants
I promise to make time for this. Well not really haha. But, at least just try. That’s what counts. Even with a whole lot of other things.
I spent the evening with three awesome friends. Haven’t seen them in a while, and by in a while I mean, months. Was supposed to be some sort of study date (why did I say some sort?), but we ended up ignoring the heeds of our own impending exams,...
Well you were right
It gets easier. It has gotten easier. Do you know that?
My God is a poet. And of all He’s definitely my favorite. I love the way He drapes my challenges with little learnings, and how he embeds my struggles with answered prayers. He doesn’t say it all outright. He leaves me guessing. Leaves me wondering. Leaves me confused on my first take. Leaves room for my imagination. With every...
