I’ve been driving around the past month with 8 books sitting in my trunk, but I pick up one of these books once, maybe twice, a week. So as part of my goals for the next few weeks, I wanted to finish at least half of these books. I’m around 30minutes finishing the first one […]

I woke up “early” this morning to “grab coffee” with a “friend from high school.” By “early,” mean I had to set an alarm for 8am. By “grab coffee,” I mean have an awesome conversation that time could not allow for. Lastly by “friend from high school,” I mean an outstanding individual from 3rd grade […]

After returning from two weeks as a counselor at Dunes Bible Camp, I hold onto mixed emotions as I look back on the experience. I did three different camps of various age groups, Jr High, primary (1st-3rd grade), and junior (4th-6th grade). I feel as though it went by so fast and at the same […]

Birthdays are always funny. The culture creates age requirements for different responsibilities, and we become accustomed to meet this standard which allows us to partake in some sort of activity – driving at 16, adulthood and tobacco use at 18, and drinking at 21. Along with the national age requirements, there are the ones within […]

On Friday, I took my last final, and my summer officially started. Seeing this summer as my last “play” summer (possible internship next summer and real life after that), I have high hopes and large goals to accomplish.

With my countless number of questions about God and being a “vessel of ideas” (The Rain Fell…), I’ve managed to barely organize my questions into these interrogative questions. What is God?In the Christian tradition, God seems […]

Matthew 7:24-27 24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been […]

“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”-Galatians 6:2 “Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.”-Romans 15:1 Community. Recently, the idea of community has be lingering in my head. The other day, I just finished my book No More Mr. […]

Lately, it seems God is really showing me the value of His Kingdom, that my focus needs to be on the Kingdom. I will admit that this school year has not be the best. With its ups and downs, it’s felt sufficient, but hasn’t been the “blast” that I was expecting. Friends from last year […]

Over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, a few friends and I made the trek over to Tempe, Arizona where a friend’s aunt lives. With a long weekend, it would be fun to just get out of San Diego and see something different. Some may think it’s crazy that we went from San Diego to Arizona […]
