| I believe it's impossible to know where we're going in our spiritual lives if we don't look at where we began. For years I've been detesting the way I am in certain situations. Lately I've realized, admitted, and accepted the fact that my heart motive is buried in layers of selfishness and pride. These flaws of mine that I so quickly jump to accuse are only present because of sin. God never created me this way. We are made in His image and that image becomes clearer through faith. It's in these situations that I forget about the sovereignty of God's will for my life. I try taking control and we all know how that always turns out. And it is ONLY through God that we can even possibly begin to change. It's here, in my weakness, that my true heart motives become evident to me. But His promise is clear. It's in brokenness, tears, and pain we see the mercy and grace of God. It feels so good to know God is there. When all else fails, God is faithful.
We can never be sinless, but if we strive to perfect our lives through faith, then our lives should be a reflection of His great love.
What better place to start than on our knees?
What else is there? The things of this world perish so quickly...

| I have seen the love I seek.
It took the form of a loving embrace and kind words from a loyal brother, and a timeless wisdom from a supportive mother. We are all flawed. We are all weak. But those who allow and guide us to grow are the one's who strengthen us. We grow and learn through each other in love.
The truth is, we were not meant to keep each other captive, but to encourage one another to seek truth. We were meant to trust. We were meant to fall and forgive. Forget the past. Forget the future. Do not worry yourself to death over things uncertain. Live today. Love today. And always remember to let love be our hope and trust be our guide.
And when we feel helpless and exposed to criticism and doubt, remember to be humble and unselfish, unashamed and true.
To you, YOU are the light that brightens the day.
And I can only hope to be your star.

| Taiwan is different. It's been 8 years since I've been back.
And as good as the food is here and as much as I love mosquitoes, flies, and a country that prides themselves on sanitation, I miss home.
PS: losing weight in Taiwan was a bad idea.
PS': betting with my uncle that I'd lose weight in Taiwan...DOUBLE WHAMMY. mmmhm
