Far

When I can’t feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same When I can’t hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray And I want you more than I want to live another day And as I wait for you, maybe I’m made more faithful If I was beingContinueContinue reading “Far”

Savior, Please

Savior, please take my hand I work so hard, I live so fast This life begins, and then it ends And I do the best that I can, but I don’t know how long I’ll last I try to be so tough but I’m just not strong enough I can’t do this alone, God IContinueContinue reading “Savior, Please”

The Very Unrealistic Expectation

Ever since I came home I have been discovering the heartaches and ridiculousness that we as humans all cause upon one another. For months I’ve been asking one question only, “How the f**k did we get here?” I know there is a problem somewhere, an inability to communicate peacefully, the inability to see eye toContinueContinue reading “The Very Unrealistic Expectation”

Confessions

Sunny’s Sermon Sunny’s Sermon 2 Set a Fire Note: Original post written 4/26/2012 Contrary to popular beliefs (by whom, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just generalizing), I actually do struggle from time to time with self-worth. I know my identity is in Christ, and that it should be enough. But there are days when IContinueContinue reading “Confessions”

At the end of the tunnel looking in

I am beginning to realize the darkness of the road that now faces me. I know I asked God to break me again this year, and well, I’m not sure what else I was expecting. When it comes to hard topics, such as regarding my family, I get extra sensitive. It’s not a topic IContinueContinue reading “At the end of the tunnel looking in”

The Art of Letting Go

This is my 100th post! I wrote an entry on my birthday on Tumblr sort of reflecting on my trip to Taiwan this past winter break. It was a long-overdue trip I wanted to make for myself, and I think in a very intimate way, it was a trip that I really needed to make.ContinueContinue reading “The Art of Letting Go”

Music of My Soul

Over the course of studying for finals, I’ve come to find the lobby of the Whalen Music school to be the perfect place for me. It’s got a nice, peaceful atmosphere, one that’s ideal for studying, but it also doesn’t make me feel claustrophobic like the library does (I usually only go to the libraryContinueContinue reading “Music of My Soul”

Thankful

It’s crude of me to be feeling so frustrated and poisonous during the weekend where we celebrate unity and all things that we are thankful for. I guess it’s just my own failures paired with bad timing that kind of set off the negative mood. Anyways, though this is something that I feel like weContinueContinue reading “Thankful”

What about ‘passion’?

Until I entered high school, I have never heard this word used (and misused) so many times before. While it’s true that we all want to be viewed as someone who is “passionate”, I’m beginning to see that either 1)”Passion” isn’t necessarily the correct term, or 2) we’ve excessively used and romanticized the word, thatContinueContinue reading “What about ‘passion’?”

The coming out of a closeted Christian

For a long time I’ve toyed with the idea of drawing rather realistic similarities between Christians in the 21st Century and homosexuals in the 21st Century (but latter is quickly changing). In the simplest explanation, I think most people hide their sexual orientation because of fear of how they might be received by society. IContinueContinue reading “The coming out of a closeted Christian”
