I value vulnerability, honesty, and openness, so I make an effort to show people the mess and the excitement in my life.

But there are just a few things in life that you wouldn't share with anyone easily in fear of God. Maybe all the more so when these thoughts and feelings are in their early stages. You only tell God because He absolutely knows what you're thinking and feeling. At least right now.

I don't know where all this will lead me. What I know for sure, is that I'm not ready just yet. Time will tell if I am thinking too much or seeking satisfaction in an idol instead. Or if it will blossom into something beautiful.

bragged

These two days I suddenly realized that in my brash eagerness to learn and experience God in the past year. I had actually bragged in Jesus' name. About my goal for this year, about my experiences with God, and my convictions.

If the me now were to be right there listening to the me nine months ago, I would either have cringed, felt awkward, or wonder how this girl could be so sure about herself and her future when it's ultimately unknown.

So awkward, so awkward, so awkward.

So glad that God forgives me as I repent of my pride and proud words.

To think I said this stuff to my ekklesia, the people I love, my beloved family in Christ.

So awkward!

king of anything

Jamming again with Daryl. Check him out at http://www.youtube.com/kenasai too!

On campus on a late Sunday afternoon to jam and feed mosquitoes at the same time. Other than that, it was great time trying to push our limits, like singing at the original key which I thought was too high. But I managed..could only be God!

If you haven't seen it, it's the new project that I said I was working on. Now that the first video is up, I'm really excited and I'm working on more stuff. It's such a great way to push myself to explore how I can create or interpret music. I love it!

You were

a Siamese twin who shared one heart with your slightly older brother.

The doctor had to operate to keep one of you alive, and your brother offered himself up instead. He asked the doctor to separate him from you. He ended up as a huge lump of severed flesh thrown away together with the rest of the biohazard waste of aborted babies, placentas, cancer, ovarian cysts, and amputated body parts.

You feel bad, but you know it's the only way for you to live.

Your brother was Jesus, who is also my brother.

We're all connected to each other through him because he died for us all.

You say so and so is the love of your life. Jesus says the same, and he literally practiced it to the full extent by dying for you. He's already died for you when no one else has! Unless you are one of the few amazingly fortunate people in GivesMeHope.com and accounts of war and violence. (WOW.)

Jesus did nothing wrong, but he chose to die for your hatred and blasphemy towards God...so that today you can choose to be alive, not with a heart of stone, but a beating, living heart of flesh.

You can run free and breathe free and play the guitar, eat ice cream, be with whom you love. Because your Brother gave up his life for you.

Great news is, he's come back to life. So will I when I die. He will return and we will be together again, in love with everyone who has followed him through peaceful lives, fire, amputation, gladiator fights, and all kinds of unthinkable suffering.

If it sounds radical, it is. Jesus is radical in his love for you...if only you would stop rejecting and discounting and see this truth that gives you life and freedom!

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The only messenger out of the twelve Jesus appointed
that died out of old age, 100-110 AD

(10 died in torture or execution according to traditional records, 1 committed suicide after betraying Jesus)
