Camp Herald: We are David.
Camp Herald. Session 1. 2012. I miss it already guys =/
Before I even say anything else, I’m just going to say that God is so good. This session was not really like the others. I wasn’t hit by any blast of the Spirit that knocked me to my knees and had my crying, but the Spirit always knows how to work best. I learned, my God how much I learned =P Above all, I learned and will...
Camp Herald!
The pre-camp post!
Off to Camp Herald for a week. Pray that God uses us in incredible ways to reach out to these campers. And that we won’t have too many bug problems. lol. But really.
What is Something
I came across a verse today that is so critical in our mindsets when we serve, but usually ends up lost when we’re so intent on our work. So this is always a good reminder. Take a look.
“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been...
Forced Determination
I have been stuck at the library since 9am. It was this, with me being absolutely drained of all amusement and sitting here with so much time, that FINALLY drove me to start what God has been urging me to do for the past 2 weeks. A business plan.
The last time I did a business plan was this past year for class, and some parts of it was BS’ed. Not to say it was BAD… just some numbers...

I am honestly dying of laughter right now holy crap
LOL i can’t even. What is this. I’m laughing tears
Lonely
In the middle of just like.. EVERYTHING that’s happening right now I have this disturbing sense of loneliness. I usually get like this when I’m not totally in sync with God and a few cracks in that relationship start to show. I don’t care how much company I have or don’t have, if I don’t have Him things usually end up miserable. Pray my relationship gets back on...
Past and Present
Looking back at several of my previous posts in the last few weeks and months, I realize that my Tumblr as of NOW has been more of a channel of my own thoughts and ideas. I have written about God’s bigger picture, yes, but often times it ends up being more an emotionally driven rant than a legitimate “here’s what God’s been showing me and here’s what I will do as a...
A note.
A happy birthday goes out to my white korean friend Summer who has made my life so fascinating and downright worthwhile for 4 solid years. It was quite a fun day and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
On another note I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with yet another Korean buddy of mine (I go to a Chinese church and my friends are primarily Chinese and Indian, what’s with me and Koreans today?) and...
SUITS
Mike and Louis were hitting it off so well, why couldn’t they let them just be friends? =( And Donna. My heart broke when she saw that it was her who missed it. That just… ouch. I STILL can’t tell where dang Hardman is at in all of this. I can’t read him at ALL. So annoying. Anyhow, AWESOME episode. I approve of its epicness. This matter is concluded.
Last notes (I think) on official Joywok
Of all the things I posted about I don’t think I’ve quite fully dedicated a post to the future of Joywok. If I did, well pardon my redundancy. If I didn’t, booyah.
I said before that I had 2 things that encouraged me for Joywok this year. People have told me crap about how my senior year failed to do anything of significance and about how much more we could have done. I agree...
1AM
Can’t fall asleep right now just because I can’t. I find it harder to fall asleep in the past couple nights and it keeps taking longer too. My mind likes to run through so many thoughts and ideas this late though. Both a good thing and bad thing haha
Had fun at the beach with the gang. I’m really gonna miss em all when I hafta go. Though I am always looking forward to meeting...

"Continue 'Pursuing' Her": A Recipe for Disaster
blakebaggott:
It’s common in modern Christian Culture, a maybe popular culture in general, for guys to continue to “pursue” a girl after they begin dating, courting, or whatever you want to name it. It’s taught that a man should not only pursue the woman prior to beginning their relationship, but that he should take the initiative to constantly woo and romance her. The guy’s pursuit shouldn’t...

Business for God
I don’t think it’s wrong to pray for success. As long as the means and ends are with the focus of advancing His kingdom and glorifying Him, why would God NOT want us to share in that joy? If so then, I pray for success for my parents. After so many years of doubtfulness and fear of losing the security a middle class life often brings, they decided to go all in on a bid to start their...

Found it!
I’ve found it. By God Almighty, praise Him, I found it. Those stories about the Holy Grail? I’d imagine this would be how it would feel to find it =P About one month into the summer, and everything has finally clicked. Finally I’ve found the purpose for this summer.
I have no need to prepare for classes or anything really academically. Those will come soon. But NOW, my focus is...

A Prayer
Father,
You are so amazing, simply because of who you are. I praise you not just because of what you do for me, what you have done for me, or anything about me at all. You simply deserve the praise because you are God, and that’s all the reason.
Forgive my heart for being so stubborn and easily turned aside, being the ungrateful son I constantly make myself out to me. Every day I’m...

Looking Ahead
Yesterday night I couldn’t fall asleep so I was running this through my head. A lot of people in the past 4 years have asked me why I didn’t date. One answer they always answered themselves with was oh, now that I look at you, I see why. To that I answer yes, now you see me you see why. I’m just. That. Awesome. That aside, a number of answers would suffice. My parents won’t...
A note.
Lesson of the day that God seems to be pointing me back to yet again is: In all things, do it for the glory of God. I was talking with my friend over some issues that were very relevant and very… challenging, but the ultimate answer is still do it for the glory of God. If something seems to be a problem, pray and ask how everyone should approach it to glorify Him! If it lifts HIM up and is...
