We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

I miss my cello.
I’m realizing more and more that
I don’t know anything.
Hah.
Not the best feeling…
But it’s going to be just fine.
I believe that this missing something is actually a missing Someone—namely, the Holy Spirit. Without Him, people operate in their own strength and only accomplish human-size results. The world is not moved by love or actions that are of human creation. And the church is not empowered to live differently from any other gathering of people without the Holy Spirit. But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in their lives is supernatural. The church cannot help but be different, and the world cannot help but notice.
—Francis Chan, Forgotten God
Amen! This was exactly what I needed to hear… that bolded sentence, specifically.
College is interesting. I’m learning a lot more about myself, which isn’t to say that I always like what I learn. Nearly all of the time, I don’t. That’s what a new environment (with new people…) can do for you, I suppose. Many struggles, lots of growth. I’m enjoying this learning process, knowing that no matter how deep I delve there will always be more to learn, more to uncover. Or at least I’m trying to enjoy it. I’m always so impatient, wanting an instant change.
…and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.
Summer 2011





Europe pics are still on my mom’s camera. :\
I’d say it was a good summer, overall… learned a bit more about myself. And the world. And God.
