Three-quarters past midnight. Lights out. Roommates asleep. Body immobilized. Spirit restless. Anxiety percolated from my bed where tears were once shed. Laying siege to my body, my elbows begin to tense, and my knees begin to ache. Perturbed, I begin twitching to ease the discomfort in my joints. This has happened before. It’s a bodily […]

This past week carried more emotions than any prior weeks. Other weeks were filled with momentary bouts of anger, sadness, confusion. This week was filled with a constant slew of frustration. Impeding lethargy. Impulsive eruptions of tears. Instances of distanced silence. Needless to say, anxiety has taken its toll on me this past week. I […]

My roommate showed me this video the other day and I don’t know where to begin. This speech completely motivated me, but it digs so deep. I can feel passion welling up in my body and selfishness start to ease up its grip, but I’m left more frustrated than motivated. The feelings of motivation are […]

Recently, the messages at Flood Church here in San Diego have been motivational and have shaken up my shaken up some of my beliefs once again, in a good way. Although spring 2011 was a big time of disturbed beliefs, this helped solidify my beliefs even more. Matt Hammett’s messages have been challenging and have […]

I grew up with the greatest privilege of knowing the Paul Young and his children. Paul is the author of New York’s Times Best Seller, The Shack, and possibly one of the most intelligent individuals I have personally known.

In my previous post (Peter’s Challenge: 8 Weeks to Love), I talked about my “eight weeks to love” plan, and my first step was faith, the most tough and most foundational step. After about two weeks of deliberation, I finally grabbed a faint hold of my idea of faith. Since faith is the foundation for […]

With the harsh spiritual season of winter this past spring, I spent my summer reconstructing my spiritual life back to a healthy spot. All I could really come up with was that I needed to “love.” Returning to Point Loma, although still on the edge, I made my focal point of this year to love […]

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 […]
