Thanks to Simon Song, I have been listening to this song by Unhindered for the past 24 hours. We led this song together at MTS this morning, and although our set was SUPER SHORT (2 songs!), there was so much power in the lyrics. For the first time in a long time, I felt soContinueContinue reading “Father Will You Come”

You’re probably thinking, “The heck? Did she just asked for more senioritis?” Well, yes and no. This actually has a lot more to do with refocusing our priorities. It’s strange, in the more recent days I feel like I know more people who have been plagued by the study bug than by senioritis. Since whenContinueContinue reading “More Senioritis please”

Today at the Pep Rally, we tried to get people to do surveys for us to better understand the needs of the student body. Unfortunately, not many people seemed to be interested much in what we’re doing and what we’re about. I would partially blame the layout of the whole event; it was poorly done.ContinueContinue reading “And let the world hear”

There was an event that happened in my life several years ago that really shook me to my core. Through the passing time, the wound healed and I can genuinely say that what’s done is done. I have forgiven the people I needed to forgive, and I have accepted the facts for what they are.ContinueContinue reading “Distant Memory”

I’ll be honest, a lot of stuff that has been going on in my head and my life just sucks. Period. Thinking about college is just crazy stress; a rather strange problem with Seekers came up that would require very careful planning and approach; and the start of our fall softball tryout will probably drainContinueContinue reading “Everlasting Joy”

“My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 I think I finally understand what Jesus felt at the Garden of Gethsemane. For years I’ve been praying this prayer whenever I encounter a difficulty. Only tonight did I see itContinueContinue reading “Gethsemane”

Sometimes I feel like my parents trust me a little too much to the point where it doesn’t seem like they care or hold any interest in what I do. I feel like that is largely why my mother held the misconception about my personal interest in wanting to do communications/film production. She thought IContinueContinue reading “Family Ties”

So our new Seekers leadership decided to make an official blog so that the members can keep up with us and ask us questions and such. I’m kind of a noob at Tumblr, and since we decided on using a tumblr, I found myself utilizing multiple blog sites at once. I liked wordpress because peopleContinueContinue reading “Tumblr attempt”

It’s hard to believe that next year will mark a decade since 9/11. I guess it didn’t have as much of a personal impact on me since I was young and moved to the States about the month before the attack. That doesn’t make this day any less significant though. Some of the people IContinueContinue reading “Nine years later”

And for the last time…. Tomorrow will be my last first day in High School. This is insane. Looking at my schedules and teachers now, I might hate it. But there are a lot of other things that would make up for it. I was laying in bed last night thinking to myself, “By thisContinueContinue reading “(The Last) Day of Summer”
